How To Do A Blood Cleansing
Blood cleansing is usually achieved by following a special blood cleansing fast. First you need to choose an appropriate time for a fast. Blood cleansing fast requires the conservation of energy, so it is not a good idea to plan heavy work or sport events for the same week. Therefore it is easier to do blood cleansing fast during spring and summer. Maybe the most important thing is to be mentally prepared. If you strongly “feel like it”, then it is the right time for blood cleansing fast.
To fully benefit from the blood cleansing fast you should also be physically prepared. For one week prior to the blood cleansing fast eat only raw vegetables and “green drinks”. This way your body will be “pre-cleansed” and the fast will not be such a shock to your system.
To carry the toxins out of your body with blood cleansing fast you need to drink at least 8 cups of steam-distilled water every day. Use herbal extracts to aid in blood cleansing. Drink juices made of beets, lemons, carrots and leafy greens. Chlorophyll in leafy greens builds up the blood with important nutrients, promotes regularity, and inhibits cellular damage from radiation. This makes Chlorophyll an essential part of any blood cleansing therapy. Good sources for Chlorophyll are wheatgrass, barley, and alfalfa juices.
You can use these herbs in any combination or independently to aid in blood cleansing. Dandelion, burdock, licorice, rhubarb, sage, shiitake mushroom, ginsengs, hawthorn, pau d’arco, and red clover. If you have high blood pressure, don’t use licorice or ginseng at all and not more than 7 days in a row when healthy. Sage is not an option for you during blood cleansing fast if you have any kind of seizure disorder, and avoid Siberian ginseng if you have hypoglycemia or heart disorder.
To cleanse the liver and the endocrine system you can use barberry, black radish, eyebright, lobelia, milk thistle, Oregon grape, pau d’arco, wild yam, and yellow dock in combinations or independently. Oregon grape is not an option when pregnant, and lobelia should not be taken an ongoing basis. To cleanse the mucous membranes you can use goldenseal for one week at a time. If you are allergic to ragweed use it with caution. Borage seed, ginkgo biloba, and sarsaparilla help to restore the acid/alkaline balance.
Stay on the blood cleansing fast for three days. Once the blood cleansing fast is completed, avoid sugar, white flour, and heated fats and oils at least for one month. Better yet to always avoid unhealthy food.

In parts 1-4 of this series of articles titled “Take Back Your Life”, we discussed what could be considered the four wheels of the human wellness vehicle. We discussed the importance of proper cell function, the necessity of having and maintaining a balanced endocrine system, and the role of vitamins and minerals, including certain trace minerals as they relate to wellness, and the value of antioxidants. When considering how many wheels we want on our car for the next road trip, we agree that it would be counterproductive to have less than four. The same is true, figuratively speaking, with regard to the human body. We need four wheels or elements to continually move toward our destination of wellness. We would, most likely, also agree that family car would do well to have a spare wheel and tire in the back to be properly prepared for our next sojourn. Our bodies likewise need a fifth wheel or fifth element to help out on our journey to optimal health. That element is water.
Water is essential for life. Plant and animal cells are dependent on water to conduct their life processes. Water, next to air, is the most important thing we put into our bodies. Water is a natural solvent that carries to and removes waste products from the cells of our bodies. The quality of water we consume therefore is a very important aspect of our journey toward wellness. Water that is properly filtered and enhanced can reduce lactic acid levels, increase the blood’s ability to absorb oxygen, and contribute to longer life spans and a higher quality of life. Most people overlook or underemphasize this single most important element of their health program. There are only 3 things that our bodies use and need that contribute to our state of good health. Those things are the air we breathe, the food and food supplements we eat, and the water we drink. The cleaner, purer, and higher the quality of each of these that we get on a daily basis, the better for our health and well being. No matter what the specific health or fitness goal, we cannot achieve the maximum benefit for any health program without drinking the right kind of water in the proper amount. All experts agree, that next to the air we breathe, water is the most important thing we will ever put into our bodies. Medical researchers report that there is virtually no function or reaction in the body that can take place without the presence of water. Approximately 75% of our body weight is water and water makes up over 80% of our brain and 90% of our blood. Water is the truly the oil of the human machine. Since water is an integral part of every thing the body does, there is enough evidence to indicate that insufficient hydration of the body can , in itself, lead to or exacerbate specific health conditions and illnesses.
It is a mistake to assume that just because we expect it, that all water coming out of a potable tap is good for you or is as good as it can get. All drinkable water is not the same quality nor has all tap water been purged of dangerous contaminants. Almost the same things are true of bottled water. Just because it looks crystal clear doesn’t mean that it is good water nor does it mean that it is good for you. Every thing from its container to the source and handling of bottled water must be considered suspect with regard to its quality. Tap water may contain trace to dangerous levels of nitrates, pesticides, heavy metals, radioactive compounds, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals and parasites coming from its local municipal water supply. Bottled water may contain contaminants leached from its container or other toxins not removed during the production process. The toxins and free radicals in these waters are made significantly more toxic to us by the addition of chlorine. Chlorine is a powerful disinfectant used in virtually all public water supplies in this country. It is believed that individuals who drink and bath in chlorinated waters have a greater likelihood of getting cancer in their lifetimes. Contaminants in our drinking water, such as heavy metals, organics, nitrates, radioactive nuclides, trihalomethanes, etc., and free radicals like chlorine and chloramine, accelerate the aging process and can contribute to various diseases. The current thinking is that once contaminants have been removed, all water provides the body with the same benefits. Nothing could be further from the truth.
There are many benefits to be gained from drinking healthful water. Drinking adequate good water helps to body absorb and assimilate nutrients in the blood stream and internal organs. Proper hydration helps the body resist the formation of kidney stones, urinary infections, and constipation. Water also accelerates the excretion of toxins and wastes from the body. Sufficient clean water helps reduce the risk of developing certain cancers like colon, breast, bladder and kidney. Drinking water before meals helps with weight loss and weight control since it aids digestion and reduces cravings. Water lubricates joints and muscles, reduces inflammation, aids in the recovery of injuries and decreases the risk of certain types of physical injuries such as sprains and pulls. Water boosts mental performance. As little as 2% dehydration can lead to significant short term memory loss.
Water that contributes to wellness must be pure and enhanced. It must also contribute to a faster rate of hydration, contain negative ions, have higher solubility, contain specific beneficial trace elements like silica and be naturally antibacterial and antifungal, and should meet or exceed accepted water treatment standards. The way that nature enhances water - snow melting into a waterfall, gathering oxygen and negative ions as it rapidly plummets down the magnesium and silica rich mountainside, sliding over foliage that is filled with antioxidants, as it cascades into a pond below - is healthful water. Water like this, existing in the local environment of native populations contributes, it is believed, to life spans of well over 100 years. It is further thought that three factors contribute to this increased quality of life and longevity. The lower surface tension of the enhanced water, together with the elevated concentration of certain soluble minerals like silica and magnesium, along with the addition of naturally occurring reduced ions are believed to be the beneficial life prolonging elements of enhanced water.
Enhanced water increases hydration and assimilation rates, increases solubility, increases the stability of electrolytes, introduces specific and beneficial trace elements, and adds an antioxidant effect. In recent studies, enhanced water has been found to aid the body in fighting such conditions as arthritis, circulatory disorders, kidney disorders, and diabetes. Documented reports of similar effects on these and other health conditions responding to the benefits of enhanced water have demonstrated that improved health and performance can be gained from this kind of wellness intervention. Enhanced water’s apparent ability, it is believed, to stabilize and balance electrolytes, resist the deposition of minerals, accelerate detoxification of waste byproducts and free radical production, may improve normal body functions to such an extent at the cellular level, that the aging process is slowed.
On average, 70% of the water we drink is consumed away from home. The best way to make sure that you have plenty of pure and enhanced water on hand to drink is to have your own personal water filtration and enhancement system with you at all times. This would make it convenient for you to get the benefit of the reduction of contaminants including offensive tastes, orders, chlorine, silt, sand and sediments, industrial volatile organic compounds, as well as the addition of enhanced water minerals which your body can use to its advantage. Fortunately there is a technology that is able to bring this service into reality for all of us today. Take advantage of it! And remember to move your body, eat well, supplement wisely, drink plenty of pure, enhanced water, and Take Back Your Life!

The phrase “body burden” has been used by scientists to describe the heavy load of chemicals that can be found in the average person - the result of lifelong exposure to industrial chemicals. Before we are even born, synthetic chemicals and heavy metals of all kinds begin building up in our bodies as passed on by the mother through the placenta.
In a study led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, in collaboration with the Environmental Working Group and Commonwealth, researchers at two major laboratories conducted a study on nine volunteers (a group consisting of individuals who were neither exposed to chemicals in their work environment nor lived near an industrial facility). The results were quite remarkable. They discovered an average of 91 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals in their blood and urine and a total of 167 chemicals. Of the 167 chemicals found, 76 cause cancer in humans or animals, 94 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 79 cause birth defects or abnormal development.
While it is difficult to measure a precise picture of human contamination because chemical companies are not required to report to the EPA how their compounds are used nor are they responsible for monitoring where their products end up in the environment. The above sited study does give us much reason to be concerned and certainly would explain why such a high percentage of the public are suffering today from chronic diseases. The chemicals we cannot process end up accumulating in our bodies and this growing body burden works to poison our tissues and exacerbate, as well as cause, disease.
What is different today, and only as recently as August of 2005, is an easy to use alternative health supplement that is truly within the reach of all who wish to rid themselves of the numerous toxins accumulating in their body. The new line of defense against an environment we cannot control is a product called Natural Cellular Defense (NCD), a non-prescription substance made from natural ingredients. The active ingredient in NCD is a volcanic ash called zeolite. This is not a new substance. What is new is the process by which this particular zeolite is manufactured. It is now available in a liquid form as a detoxifier capable of removing toxins from the body in a simple to use formula. It’s honeycomb framework of cavities and channels work at the cellular level trapping allergens, heavy metals and harmful toxins. Because it is one of the few negatively charged minerals in nature, zeolites act as magnets drawing toxins to it, capturing them in its cage and removing them from the body.
Originally this substance was being looked at by pharmaceutical companies as a cancer treatment, however, it would take 8 to 10 years and $800,000,000. Because it is a natural substance on the FDA’s list of GRAS (generally regarded as safe) it was brought to market as a powerful and unique detoxifier.
Natural Cellular Defense is based on extensive research being conducted by reputable and innovative scientists generally associated with pharmaceutical medicine and is backed by U.S. Patent. Waiora acquired the exclusive worldwide distribution rights in August of 2005.
Results of the research with zeolite are quite impressive. The following are a few of the function claims made as a result of this research:
1. One of the most important function claims is NCD’s ability to induce tumor suppressor cells in the body sending mutant or diseased cells into a state of programmed cell death therefore eradicating disease.
2. Natural Cellular Defense removes heavy metals, particularly lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, all of which are associated with neurological disorders such as autism, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
3. Research concludes that NCD blocks the mechanism of viral replication and therefore promises to work well as a general non-toxic anti-viral remedy. Research is also suggesting NCD helps with the common cold and flu, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and hepatitis C.
4. NCD has been shown to act as an effective detoxification food for women wishing to become pregnant so as to avoid passing on toxins and heavy metals through the placenta.
5. NCD creates a natural buffer in the system maintaining a blood pH level between 7.35 and 7.45 which is the optimal blood pH and therefore activates brain function and the immune system.
6. Without making any additional dietary changes, NCD improves nutrient absorption and therefore reduces the risk of malnutrition. This becomes particularly important as we age and the body becomes less adept at properly absorbing nutrients from food.
7. NCD decreases free radical activity by absorbing the free radical directly into the zeolite’s pore thereby acting as an antioxidant. Because it functions differently than an antioxidant, NCD works in a complimentary fashion to any antioxidant drink you may already be taking such as green tea.
8. Zeolites capture triggering antigens which cause allergies, migraines and asthma.
9. NCD has the ability to trap and destroy nitrosamines in the digestive tract. Nitrosamines can be found in meat and are powerful cancer causing agents considered responsible for various forms of cancer such as pancreatic, leukemia and brain cancers.
Harvey Kaufman, PhD, the cancer researcher, scientist and creator of the product, has just completed a study on End IV cancer patients. These are basically patients who are beyond further treatment. He is in the process of writing up the results and is hoping to have them published in The American Medical Journal. Although Waiora cannot make any claims, it can provide coincidental anomolies. All 65 patients started NCD 15 months ago, their cancers varied, they were given less than 6 weeks to live. As of today 51 are alive and cancer free.
If you still feel your cabinet full of over the counter medications and prescription drugs is preferable to a natural detoxifier, consider this. Treatment using NCD is as simple as the consumption of 10 drops of a tasteless liquid in water 3 times each day for one month. The maintenance dose is substantially less, costing just a few dollars each week.
If all the preliminary research and consumer product testimonials of NCD hold true, this product promises to be one of the most important discoveries in nutritional therapies and perhaps the biggest break-through in cancer prevention and treatment, replacing or at the very least complimenting current methods of treating cancer as well as a variety of other chronic diseases prevalent in today’s society.
Natural Cellular Defense is a simple answer to complex health issues currently being addressed to a very large degree by pharmaceutical drugs. No matter what supplement you may currently be taking, this is an unique element capable of detoxifying your body in a way never before possible. In just one month you could relieve a great deal of your body burden and have done much to regain your optimal health.
