Detoxification

SEVEN DAY Total Nutritional Cleansing Program Why Detoxify? Of the more than 75,000 chemicals registered with the Environmental Protection Agency, only a very small fraction have ever been assessed for their toxicity in humans. In fact, only about 25 percent of commonly used chemicals have undergone even the most basic toxicity testing. Most of these untested chemicals make their way into natural ecosystems and many end up in human bodies. According to the Second National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, all humans now have a frightening number of chemicals in their bodies that are known to have significantly toxic effects. Though the concentration of each of these chemicals is generally rather small, research demonstrates that the combined effects of many toxic chemicals multiplies their individual toxicity. The human body has the capacity to process toxins. However, in today's polluted world, environmental toxins, combined with toxins created within the body due to poor nutrition or malfunctioning digestive systems, can over tax the body's detoxification system causing serious health issues. To maintain good health every person should undergo an effective detoxification program on a regular basis to purge out pollutants that accumulate in cells and organs. Other detoxification products may stimulate release of toxins from cells, but none adequately support all of the complex steps the body requires to effectively remove toxins from the body like the Seven Day Total Nutritional Cleansing Program. Effective detoxification requires the body to undergo a complex series of processes that must take place in an unbroken chain of events. In addition, during detoxification, it is important to support the body with specific vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytochemicals and dietary fiber. The 7 Day Total Nutritional Cleansing Program completely supports all the complex steps of the chain of events in the body to complete the detoxification process while nourishing and supporting the body's systems. About the Program The 7 Day Total Nutritional Cleansing Program is a revolutionary healing foods program, scientifically formulated to provide gastrointestinal healing and complete nutritional support for your body as it goes through the detoxification process. The program is a 2-step process that prepares the digestive and gastrointestinal systems for detoxification while nourishing the body. After completing the program most people feel energized, have a sense of well being, have shed some pounds and have taken vital steps toward insuring good health! For vibrant health, improved digestion and increased energy, revitalize yourself by scheduling the 7 Day Total Nutritional Cleansing Program every 3 months.

Detoxification requires some fat burning but a person should not become exhaust ed or feel starved. Make RevitalX and Detoxitech blender smoothies and add flaxseed oil or some raw almonds or sunflower seeds to increase caloric intake. Nibbling frequently on low-calorie fresh vegetables and an occasional piece of fresh fruit is the best way to deal with hunger between meals. Snack when hungry, but avoid over-eating. CAN I EXERCISE? Yes! If you exercise vigorously during your cleansing program be sure to drink plenty of pure water and carry raw almonds or sunflower seeds for energy. WHO SHOULD NOT DETOXIFY? This thorough cleansing program is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women. If you are on drugs or undergoing other therapies for a serious health condition, consult a health practitioner before beginning a cleansing program. The 7 Day Total Nutritional Cleansing Program may be given to children in reduced dosages. For children 12 years of age or older, use 1/2 the recommended dosage and eliminate junk food, sugary snacks and soft drinks, deep fried foods, etc. to realize the benefits of RevitalX and Detoxitech. SHOULD I KEEP TAKING VITAMINS? Due to the high nutritional content of these products you are not required to take other vitamins, minerals, herbs or supplements while on the Program.

Most supplements are compatible with the 7 Day Program. WHAT ABOUT ALCOHOL? CAFFEINE? Avoid alcohol, tea and coffee (including decaffeinated drinks) during the program, as well as soft drinks and junk food. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHILE ON THIS PROGRAM? People can experience different physical reactions while on the program, based on their existing state of health and toxicity levels. After completing the program many people feel energized and revitalized. Typical benefits include: more energy; better digestion and elimination; improved sleep; improved circulation. Some people experience unpleasant short term reactions during the cleansing process which may include:headaches; skin breakouts; mild diarrhea or nausea; excess mucous production. If symptoms persist, consult your health professional as they may be unrelated to the detoxification program. IS THIS A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM? No. The 7 Day Total Nutritional Cleansing Program is an internal cleansing program, not a diet product, but people have reported weight loss while cleansing. Many people have an excessive amount of fecal matter in their intestines and this program will help cleanse the fecal matter out of your body. Internal cleansing should always be one of the first steps in a good weight control program. Cleansing may help increase assimilation of nutrients, for improved appetite control. Cleansing the organs may also improve their performance, enhancing metabolism. SHOULD I KEEP USING REVITALX OR DETOXITECH AFTER COMPLETING THE PROGRAM? Yes! For vibrant health you should schedule a 7 Day Total Nutritional Cleansing Program every 3 months. RevitalX and Detoxitech can also be purchased separately and used for health maintenance. Choose RevitalX for digestive and gastrointestinal support, and/or Detoxitech if you are sensitive to toxins or live in a polluted environment. Step 1: RevitalX Rest and Revitalize Your Digestion In Step 1 of the 7 Day Total Nutritional Cleansing Program, RevitalX allows you to rest, heal and rejuvenate the gut, getting rid of internally generated toxins and paving the way for powerful detoxification using Detoxitech. When we talk about toxins, we're not just talking about poisons from outside. The world within the stomach and intestines is hostile and, if this region is not in perfect health, a tremendous burden of toxic stress is placed upon the the whole body because of internally derived toxins. Toxic fermentation or putrifaction by-products of intestinal microbes, and a breakdown in the leakproof lining of the gut, can place the immune system, the liver and the brain in a health degrading state of toxic stress. The lining of the intestines is nearly leak proof but it is only the thickness of one layer of cells and can be easily damaged. If stress on these delicate cells is too intense, gaps can form between the cells allowing small and large molecules to pass through undigested into the bloodstream. If there are a lot of these gaps, you will experience what is called increased intestinal permeability or “leaky gut syndrome”. Some internal debris is transported to lymph nodes, or to the liver where it can be digested, processed and removed, but some escapes and ends up in general circulation. In this way, leaky gut syndrome puts great stress upon the immune system, the liver and every organ and body system. People who suffer from leaky gut syndrome experience a wide range of health problems such as food intolerances, fatigue and mental exhaustion. RevitalX contains: highly digestible, low allergy potential protein L-glutamine, a metabolism regulator that helps prevent gastrointestinal distress N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) which helps control excessive gas and intestinal mucous Pantothenic acid which helps control allergy reactions Zinc, the healing mineral, to help heal damaged digestive tissue and supports immunity A variety of potent antioxidants plus quercetin, the anti-allergy bioflavonoid Water soluble fiber that helps heal leaky gut and improve elimination Lecithin for more healing support In Step 1, RevitalX supports the digestive system and heals the gastrointestinal tract, giving the body relief from toxic stress. It is the perfect first step to prepare your body for the deep tissue cleansing process of Step 2. Step 2: Detoxitech Detoxification; deep tissue cleansing In Step 2, Detoxitech is designed to fully support every process used by the body to transport, detoxify and excrete heavy metals and other toxic substances from the body. Toxic chemicals, even at low levels, over time may cause cancer damage the brain; nervous system damage the immune system alter hormonal function alter cellular energy production counteract antioxidant protection Detoxiteh contains: nutrients and phytochemicals to increase production of a key molecule known as glutathione. Glutathione is used by cells to mop up toxins. It then helps transport these toxins to the liver and kidneys where they are processed for disposal. a special blend of amino acids, antioxidants and phytochemicals that protect and support the liver and kidneys as they process toxins. a blend of low allergy potential fibers, and ionically-charged plant extracts that effectively bind to toxins in the intestine, preventing absorption back into the bloodstream MSM and broccoli extracts: rich sources of sulphur food factors that support the liver's detoxification enzymes a potent enzyme complex (Peptizyme) to speed protein digestion and act as a natural anti-inflammatory agent substances that keep the bowels moving efficiently. This is important when the liver processes toxins at an accelerated rate. Step 2 of your 7 Day Total Nutritional Cleansing Program is specifically designed to help eliminate toxins that have been absorbed from the outside, such as heavy metals, pesticides, fumes from paints, solvents and PCB's. Colon Support; Liver Support Included in the program are 7 supplement packets, one to be used each day, containing (2) Colon Support tablets and three (3) Liver Support capsules. Colon Support tablets help clear the colon of toxins that can accumulate and the ingredients help gently cleanse mucus along the small intestine, create bulk in the colon, and pull toxins from the gastrointestinal tract, helping to ensure bowel motility. Because of its many metabolic functions the liver is our most important organ for detoxification. Liver Support capsules contain a special formula providing additional support for the liver's detoxification action while on the program. It is important that you continue to have 2 to 3 bowel movements per day during the 7 day cleanse. Be sure you eat enough raw fruits and vegetables. These bulk foods contain fiber, a necessary component in detoxification.
