Radiant Self-Care for Ease-full, Empowered and Awakened Living with Dr Bobbi Spurr
Moving from Detoxification to Fulfillment
Cleansing and Rejuvenation Program
Guidelines for Self-Healing, Detoxification & Supportive Daily Rhythm Program
This booklet is designed to focus on foundational practices for detoxification and self-healing that
will help you create and maintain higher levels of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
health.
Our bodies are so wonderfully designed to heal themselves. This is why detoxification,
purification and rejuvenation are the foundation for optimum health . Healing is the
willingness to cleanse the body, mind and soul in order for the innate wisdom of the
body to heal us. Dis-ease and aging are not requirements, they are options! They are
hazardous to your health and happiness!
This booklet focuses on essential insights and practices for supporting our innate selfhealing and self-regulatory functioning. The spring cleanse involves intestinal cleansing
and restoration, liver, kidney, gallbladder detoxification, breast and prostate protection
and cancer prevention. Detoxification promotes metabolic efficiency, improved
circulation, and cognitive enhancement. As part of the detoxification process, we need
to improve the very root of our health - our digestion and assimilation and to strengthen
every level of our immune systems. By using a whole systems approach we may also
choose to reflect on the biology of belief and attitude and practice simple tools for
detoxifying our emotions, transforming stress and fear to induce self-healing and
optimum health.

Orchestration of the following levels of intervention and facilitation:
1. Immune strengthening including appropriate eradication of any ecological immune stressors
including viral, fungal, parasitic and bacterial infections and overgrowths.
2. Metabolic clearing including intestinal restoration, digestion, assimilation and breast, ovarian,
uterine and prostate protection
3. Natural hormonal balancing bridge therapy to shift our of patterns of accelerated aging to
rejuvenation
4. Cognitive enhancement
5. Spiritual centering techniques
When we reflect on health it is useful to remember that to heal is to reconnect and
become whole again. To be whole is to be connected to the source of our own being and
to take response-ability for our creations. The result of staying connected -to ourselves
and our worlds - is we feel an increase in energy. This is because it depletes our energy
maintain separation. When we are connected, we follow our inner guidance and discover
the true source of healing within our ourselves. This enables us to increase and direct the
inborn healing abilities of our own bodies and naturally focus our consciousness back in
the bodies and heal.
"Illness is simply a signal to change"

The symptoms we experience are only and specifically… the body talking to us
What Is Detoxification?
Detoxification is the process of clearing toxins from the body or neutralizing or
transforming them, and clearing excess mucus and congestion. Many of these toxins
come from our diet, drug use, and environmental exposure, both acute and chronic.
2
Internally, fats, especially oxidized fats and cholesterol, free radicals, and other irritating
molecules act as toxins. Functionally, poor digestion, colon sluggishness and
dysfunction, reduced liver function, and poor elimination through the kidneys,
respiratory tract, and skin all add to increased toxicity.
Detoxification involves dietary and lifestyle changes that reduce intake of toxins and
improve elimination. Avoidance of chemicals, from food or other sources, refined food,
sugar, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and many drugs helps minimize the toxin load.
Drinking extra water (purified) and increasing fiber by including more fruits and
vegetables in the diet are steps in the detoxification process. Moving from a more to a
less congesting diet, as shown in the accompanying table, will help us to move along the
detox road.
Circulate Don’t Accumulate!

or

More Detoxifying
Detoxification therapy, such as fasting, is one of the oldest treatments known to
humans and is a completely natural process. In many cases, as we listen to our
inner guidance, as animals do, we may apply this process to many illnesses and
states of health and life.
Many authorities claim the detox process helps clear wastes and old or dead cells
and revitalizes the body’s natural functions and healing capacities. Of the many
of people that I know who have used cleansing programs, the vast majority have
experienced positive and incredible results. As I believe that
fasting/cleansing/detoxification is the missing link in Western nutrition, and if
we used this process more in our daily lives and our medical system, we could
heal and prevent a great deal of disease.
30 Day
2013 Detox and Rejuvenation Program
3
Starting with lots of Springtime wonder and ahhh Love, appreciation and a notion
about the kindness you may be offering yourself with this Self-Care…
First week:
1. Inspiring Intestinal Cleanse (IIC) using “Nature’s Pure Body
Program” – A 7 day alkalization foundation with initiation of gentle intestinal
cleansing. Continue supplements for this for the next 3-6 weeks.
Evaluate for beginning liver support and detoxification:
• Paleo Cleanse, Mediclear or UltraClear Plus 1-2 scoups – 2x daily
as a delightful drink
• Liver Flushes 1-2x weekly
• Evaluate for liver flushes or liver purge
2.
OIL CHANGE time. First week no oils except essential fatty acids
omega 3 and omega 6, and a small amount of olive oil.
GREENLIGHT, Green Shift:
Alkalize for LIFE Nutritional
Cleanse… This is a low carb, alkalizing for life diet, using organic
vegetables juices, detoxification liver cleansing proteins like Ultra Clear Plus,
steamed veggies, salads, nutrient dense smoothies (Greens! Greens, Greens,
Cilantro, green beans, salads, Wheatgrass juice, Seaweed Soups, Organic
Green Veggie juice powders… example: “Pure Synergy”, “VitaMineral”,
“Perfect Food”, Green Magma…)
1. Complete Metabolic Questionnaire (Metagenics website).
2. Monitor all symptoms. Use Flow Charts!
Do Visual Contrast test for baseline (online) – see instructions.
30 Day Program NUTRITION
4
Week 1: Liver Cleanse using Paleo Cleanse, Ultra Clear Plus or MediClear
(hypoallergenic rice based excellent protein powder for liver detox, vegetable
soups, vegetable juices, smoothies with “Pure Synergy”, 1 cup masoor dhal (red
lentils) daily.
Week 2: same as above
Week 3: This next stage involves re-introducing 4-6 oz of high quality protein 3x
daily. This could be Alaskan Salmon (or other deep water non-mercury fish),
organic turkey or chicken (high quality protein does not contain the high
arachonic acids which cause inflammation...). Also all the vegetables continue
and can increase but we don't need to blend them. Steamed veggies.... Steamed
veggies rolled in Nori with pickled ginger and dipped in wonderful dips (recipes
were included in original packet). The way I usually make a simple dip is to
cook up the cup of red lentils and then add to it herbs, basil, spices...and then if
one wants it to turn green just add baby spinach, orange - add turmeric and
ginger or pink - blend in beets...ah colors of nutrition.
Also, this step involves the "Oil Change". So included in the dips might be the 2
Tbsp. of pure Flax oil (or fish oil?) or cod liver oil...high omega 3 fatty acids. This
step after clearing the old oils from the liver and the tissues brings these essential
oils in to remake the cell walls... The cell wall is the most important for nutrient
transport across the cell membrane that brings deep cellular nutrition, nutrients
are taken in and by products eliminated. Also when the cell membrane with the
essential fatty acids becomes fluid and less rigid and then the hormones can
work more efficiently deeply and responsively connecting the cells tissues and
organs...and even the cell membrane is said to be where consciousness is
responded to through the microtubules...so included 2 Tbsp. of high quality flax
or fish oils...enough to make about 2000 to 9000 grams of EPA, DHA.

Alkalizing for Life
“If you are sitting on two tacks, removing just one does not result in a 50 percent improvement.”
Sidney Baker MD
Feeling Truly Alive… support…gently detoxing from… “you name
it”…sugars…toxic perceptions, emotions…scarcities of time…the drum beat of
self-criticism…caffeine, alcohol, sugars, special clutter…excessive “event density
of scheduling”… ahhh…and replacing these with wonder, rhythm, rituals of
timelessness, Self-care, kindness, practicing peaceful perceptions (ATM = PPP),
nutritional alkalinization, Love, feeling truly alive with wonder and joy, flowers
and fragrances, Friends, Fellowship, surf, dazzling light dancing on the waters of
our ever awakening Souls…
Remember wholeness, Asking “what is it I really really want now in my life”? Letting
go of limitations, false assumptions…rigidity… Core value focus and
reprioritization…Cleansing Time, space and the fifth dimension of our chief creation, our
“identity” - who we think we are…who is it that wants to cleanse? Who am I?
Moving from “human doing back to a sacred human being”
What does a day’s nutritional program look and feel like for you?
Here are some ideas:
o Breakfast – Explore a zesty tea?… ginger, cardamom (opens the heart chakra),
green tea cinnamon stick, cloves, lemon juice…licorice root…could a ritual of
Self-Care be felt in your tea ceremony? Or fresh organic vegetable juices…or
how about a tempting green smoothie using Organic green powders like
“Pure Synergy” or “Perfect Food” or VitaMineral” by HealthForce available at Staff of
Life…
6
o Greens, greens, greens…(the heart chakra’s color radiates green… life greens)
…greens, so rich in alkalizing vitamins and minerals which help relax the
sympathetic nervous system and naturally cleanse and alkalinize the body.
This miraculously facilitates its natural Self-regulation (Self-healing!). A bit
later you might consider having “dinner for breakfast”! Delicious high
quality protein like salmon (Alaskan), lightly steamed organic broccoli, kale,
baby bok choy, asparagus, snap or snow peas, green beans, rainbow
chard…how about a for a variation…rolled in nori with pickled ginger…?
Make this wonderful rainbow vegetable celebration and have it with a tasty
dip like cilantro pesto or sauce using blended seeds, nuts, or a cooked dhal
(like red lentils) with fresh veggies, Braggs, flax seed oil or blended flax seeds
(if you have a Vitamix), fresh basil, mint, oregano, lemon juice, ginger juice,
and your favorite spices like coriander, turmeric, cumin, etc. eat it with
plenty of extra enzymes, for example Lipase Concentrate Enzymes to help
you digest your essential fatty acids are useful.

greens…green smoothie…
o Or a drink of “Daily Energy Infusion” or UltraClear Plus mixed
with organic apple sauce or almond milk…possibly unsweetened
soy milk…see recipes in UltraClear booklet.

2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons olive oil or flax seed oil, Essential Oil blend…
"Put the cilantro and olive oil in blender and process until the cilantro is chopped. Add
the rest of the ingredients and process to a lumpy paste. (You may need to add a touch of
hot water and scrape the sides of the blender.) You can change the consistency by altering
the amount of olive oil and lemon juice, but keep the 3:1 ratio of oil to juice. (If freezes
well, so you can make several batches at once.)
Alkalizing Seaweed Soup:
50 g. seaweed – all types
7
1 cup of shitaki mushrooms or 1/4 package of dry mushrooms
2 inches green onion (sliced length wise into strips)
2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth or miso soup

capsules from Thorne Research, or a dairy free Bio-K). Have above mixture at least 3
times or as much as 5 times per day.
 Alkaline for LIFE Nutritional Program. NUTRIENT DENSE LOW CARB. See
summary with shopping list. This is a hypoallergenic, anti-inflammatory diet. It is helpful to
reduce all consumption of carbohydrates to 20 grams total. There are comprehensive lists
available on the Internet for further research.
(http://www.symynet.com/educational_software/list-of-low-carbohydrates-food.htm etc.)
Ideal meal plans consist of 4-6 oz of high quality protein, like organic chicken or turkey and a
plateful of beautiful organic steamed vegetables with a flavorful herbal spice garnish or sauce.
Vegetables are alkalizing.
To promote the body’s self-regulation and natural healing
an emphasis on these nutrient dense foods is useful. Alkalizing foods include all forms of
chlorophyll. This includes fresh, steamed, baked or grilled vegetables, especially organic green
leafy and green fleshy vegetables like baby bok choy, kale, broccoli, cilantro, all type of sprouts,
and especially sea veggies. It also includes brown rice, millet, quinoa, and amaranth grains,
herbs and herb teas, seeds (except sesame seeds), lemons, limes and cultured foods (like raw
cultured vegetables, yogurt, kefir, organic apple cider vinegar), and soaked almonds. Acidforming foods are: animal foods like beef, poultry, eggs, fish, and shellfish, sugary foods or
sweeteners such as Saccharin or NutraSweet (aspartame), soft drinks, wheat flour foods, large
beans, tofu, most nuts and nut butters (except almonds), wine or other alcoholic beverages,
commercial vinegars or condiments. If you crave sweets, use the herb Stevia in your tea.
10
Drink plenty of Potassium Broth - Bieler’s Alkalizing Vegetable Broths (see recipes). One of the
most effective nutritional cleanses is to concentrate on vegetables, high quality proteins and
power food smoothies. Eliminate "stimulatory intake". This includes coffee, caffeine teas, alcohol
and drugs (both pharmaceutical and recreational). These substances throw neuro-hormonal
regulation and "timing of pituitary pulse" off. Stay on a "regulatory diet". Eat foods "the way nature
made them" and avoiding foods that are processed or refined, as they do not support the self-regulatory
functions of body. Eat high quality proteins - 50 grams for females and 63 grams for males. (depending on
body size and activity). On higher protein diets the blood will shift toward the acidic and require ammonia
from the kidney and/or alkaline calcium from the connective tissues and bones to buffer it.
 Detox Intestinal Bulking Drink
Into 8 oz. of pure water mixed with either 2 tablespoons of liquid chlorophyll or _
teaspoon of licorice root extract add
• 2 heaping teaspoons of "Herbulk", “Rejuve-Powder” or psyllium husk mixture and
• 1 tablespoon of liquid bentonite (Bentonite is known for its highly absorptive
properties and its ability to draw out and bind heavy metals, drugs and other toxins from
the body)
Have 1-4 drinks per day, if possible 2 x daily. It is better to take these drinks at least one
half hour away from your nutrient drinks.
Power Drink for an energy boost:
Beyond Fiber 1 rounded tsp
Beyond C 2 rounded tsp
Longevity Maca - 1 rounded tsp
Perfect Food - 1/2 tsp
Primal Defense 1/4 tsp
Mix these products with quality bottled water, such as Penta to maximize the
effectiveness of the drink. It is also possible to add various fruit juices for a different taste
and ice cubes to keep it cold over longer periods. Enjoy!
 Rhythm – Daily Routine and Rhythm with early morning “inward focusing of
attention” (meditation, prayer, relaxation), breath awareness, and daily EXERCISE
PROGRAM.
 Play – cultivate happiness and Joy “Life is a place of wonder, not a problem to be
solved.”
 Liver Flush (This may involve the great 22 day “Plunge” for neurotoxins or other
recipes may be used as appropriate. It is essential to support liver detoxification. If you
are not doing the specified “22 days groundwork and plunge” several mornings during
the cleanse take this drink. While you are giving the liver a rest during this period, this
drink will help to flush out its toxins and restore its natural vitality.
 Kidney Flush (See instructions if appropriate)
 Purification Tea:
Make red clover tea, “Purification Tea”, or Chai (see recipes below) with high quality
water. If indicated, add to it 1/2 teaspoon of "Tai Ra Chi". This is a Brazilian herbal
formula that prevents yeast from increasing and helps to eliminate harmful yeast
and bacteria from the body. You may have several cups per day.
 Nature’s Pure Body Program
11
This detoxification system contains a “Colon Cleanser” and “Whole Body
Cleanse”.
The Colon Cleanser is useful for anyone who tends toward constipation.
Start with ½ to 1 tablet 2x daily and take enough to have 2 complete bowel
movements daily.
The Pure Body Cleanse is designed to help flush toxicity out of the cells, tissues,
liver and kidneys and purify the blood. Substances are flushed into the gastrointestinal tract and then cleared with the Detox Intestinal Bulking Drink (see
above formulation).
Start with 3 tablets 2x daily and over a week increase to 5-7 tablets 2x daily.
 Dr. Richard Schulze's Intestinal Formula #1 for 2 weeks then Formula #2.
“Ingredients:
Organic Flax seed, Apple Fruit Pectin, Pharmaceutical Grade Bentonite Clay, Psyllium seed and husk, Wildcrafted Slippery Elm inner
bark, Organic Marshmallow root, Organic Fennel seed and Activated Willow charcoal.
Therapeutic Action:
This cleansing and soothing formula is to be used periodically in conjunction with Intestinal Corrective Formula #1. This formula is a
strong purifier and intestinal vacuum. It will draw old fecal matter off the walls of your colon and out of any bowel pockets. It will
also draw out poisons, toxins, heavy metals such as mercury and lead, and even remove radioactive material such as strontium 90.
This formula will also remove over 3000 known drug residues. Its natural mucilaginous properties will soften old hardened fecal
matter for easy removal. It is an excellent remedy for any inflammation in the stomach and intestines.”


 MSM – MSM is often referred to as a "penetrant."
It makes the walls of
individual cells more "permeable." This means that the cells can more easily get rid of garbage that is
constantly being created inside the cell, and the cell can also absorb nutrients more easily. This characteristic of "increasing
permeability" of cells explains its ability to relieve pain. Pain if often caused by an accumulation of toxic buildup in the joints,
muscles and fluids. Inflammation of joints is often also caused by toxic buildups in those areas -- the MSM is a powerful
detoxifier.
Gently Completing the Nutritional Cleanse Plan
• One the second to the last day of your cleanse, stop the psyllium mixture and enemas
and add more potassium soup broth at lunch and dinner.
• On the last day, have the same – plus add to your potassium broth some red lentils
(masoor dhal) to the potassium broth.
• On next day, resume normal light eating, including vegetable soup.
• To continue mild cleansing, you may continue with just one Detox Drink per day in
addition to regular foods.
Potassium Essence Broth (Beiler’s Broth)
Potassium Broth is an effective vegetable juice known for strengthening and rebuilding the entire
body. Cover the following chopped vegetables and simmer for 2 hours never letting it boil:
2 cups of green beans
1 large bunch of kale
1-3 heads of broccoli
1/2 head cabbage
1 onion or 4 large bulbs of garlic (optional)
1 bunch parsley or cilantro (optional)
5 stalks celery, or baby bok choy
May add Brussels sprouts, asparagus, chard, collard greens, etc.
 Blend and add 1 teaspoon of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos or 1 teaspoon of miso to the warmed
broth. Drink this if you feel weak or hungry throughout the day.
13
 Strain and drink the broth essence only. You may refrigerate the broth.
Liver Flush
- This drink may also be taken several mornings during the first weeks of the
cleanse to help stimulate the liver and prepare it for the deeper “Big Plunge”. This helps to
activate the liver and begins to flush out its stored toxins and helps regenerate its function. The
liver is one of the most important organs, with multiple functions. The largest glandular structure
in the body, it manufactures hormones and blood protein. It creates the clotting mechanisms for
the blood and filters the blood. It manufactures, stores and secretes vitamins and other nutrients.
Combine the following ingredients and drink the Liver Flush in the morning.
Juice of 1 to 2 lemons, freshly squeezed
Juice of 3 oranges, freshly squeezed or fresh organic apple juice
1 tsp. of grated fresh ginger
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
1 to 3 cloves freshly crushed garlic
1 tablespoon pure cold pressed olive oil
• Orange juice adds a live flavor, vitamin C, many antioxidants, lowers cholesterol,
strengthens the immune system.
• Garlic promotes the detoxifying activity of the liver
• Olive oil stimulates the secretion of bile, flushing out the liver through the hepatic duct.
• Apple juice contains malic acid, which helps cleanse the intestines and heals mucous
membranes.
Herbal Purification Tea
This is a pleasant tasting herbal flush that helps to eliminate toxicity in the digestive system, liver,
kidneys, blood and bladder and stimulates the cleansing of the lymphatic system.
You can prepare a supply of the Purification Tea by mixing the following ingredients and storing
in an airtight container. Then to make a supply of tea for the day, add four teaspoons of this
blend to four cups of purified water, bring to a gentle boil and simmer covered for 10 minutes.
Strain out the herbs and save tea to drink throughout the day.
1/2 cup of fennel seeds or star anise
1/2cup of fenugreek seeds
optional 1/2 cup of licorice root (or you may use 1/2tsp. the licorice root extract)
1/2 cup of pepperment leaf
1/2 cup of flax seeds
You may increase the amount of garlic, ginger and cayenne pepper according to your preference.

Royal Liver and Gallbladder Flush
The purpose of this flush is to remove obstructions from the gallbladder and to stimulate
the liver and restore digestive integrity. This flush has been done by children as well
as elderly and is well tolerated. It is recommended however if you have known
gallstones not to undertake this process without close supervision.
This flush improves the immune system by detoxifying the liver and gallbladder. It is a
powerful rejuvenator and acts as an important detoxifying agent which helps to
restore the normal function of the liver and gallbladder by flushing out stones from
the gallbladder and hepatic ducts. The liver produces bile daily which is stored in the
gallbladder and released when fats are consumed. The bile emulsifies the fats and
lubricates the digestive tract. Dietary indiscretions such as refined and fried foods
and excess animal proteins, lack of exercise alter the pH of the body. To counteract
the acids, the body utilizes the calcium in the bone and the sodium in the bile. In the
latter case, this process leaves behind the cholesterol which precipitates and forms
what is know as gallstones which may interfere with the free flow of bile. This flush
releases these formations.
Since the body produces bile on a daily basis, and since very little is released due to a
restricted intake of fats, the bile builds up; then a rather large dose of fats is taken in
the form of 4-6 oz of olive oil, the gall bladder literally dumps its entire contents to
emulsify the fats. In so doing, everything is released, including the green globules
know as gallstones.
This procedure is simple and easy. Eat no fats during the cleanse for 4 days. Drink at
least 2 quarts of fresh apple juice (optional carrot/ginger juice) for the pectin content
and the malic acid in the apple juice softens any stones. If Candida or hypoglycemia
are present, cucumber, celery, ginger juice is an alternative. Some people use 30
drops 3 times daily of ortho-phosphoric acid instead of the apple juice to soften the
gallbladder contents.
At noon on the day of the Royal Liver Gallbladder Flush, mix 2 tablespoons epsom salts
(magnesium sulfate) in a glass of warm water as your breakfast. This will act as a
purgative. Wait one hour and then drink your juices for the rest of the day. Just
before bed drink 4-6 oz. extra virgin olive oil mixed with 4-6 oz of lemon juice. Go
to bed and lie on your right side with your right knee drawn up to your chest for _
hour. This opens the channels of energy for the liver and gallbladder. Visualize dark
burgundy all around you as you fall asleep.
The next morning, take a coffee enema with _ cup of epsom salts dissolved in the
solution.
 Cleansing Enemas
First do cleansing enema with salt water, 1 tsp. Per pint of body temp. water clean
out fecal matter then do the appropriate type as written below:
Licorice Root Enema
• Make a decoction of licorice root.
• Simmer 3 heaping tablespoons of licorice root in 3 cups of pure water for 20
minutes.
• Strain and add 1 cup water and 1/2 cup cold pressed sesame oil plus 1/4 tsp.
salt.
15
•
Use as a retention enema holding as long as comfortable up to 15 minutes as
described above.
Madhu Taillic Enema
•
•
•
•
•
+
•
Simmer in 3 cups of pure water 3 T of anise seed.
Simmer gently until 2 cups remain.
Strain and add 1/2 cup of cool pure water.
Add 1/2 cup of sesame oil.
Add 1/4 cup of honey.
optional add 1-2 tablespoonful of castor oil.
Use with love slightly warmer than body temperature as a retention enema.
Coffee Enema
This procedure helps detoxify the liver as well as the colon. The coffee in the
enema is absorbed through the wall of the colon and stimulates the flow of
bile from the liver and carries out the liver’s wastes.
Necessary Items:
2 quart enema bag
1-4 tablespoons of regular, non-instant coffee.
Preparation
1. Hang the enema bag no more than 18” above the floor. You do not want to
hang it any higher or the coffee will run in too fast.
2. Make sure the metal clamp on the hose is closed.
3. Fill the bag with one quart of the coffee solution - 100degrees temperature,
which is warm to the touch, works well for most people.
4. Attach and lubricate the hard plastic rectal fitting into the hose of the enema
bag.
5. Open the clamp and let the air come out of the tub before inserting.
Taking the Enema
1. Find a comfortable position among the following four:
a. Lie on your right or left side with your knees draw up to your chest.
b. Squat
c. Lie on your back with your legs at ninety degrees up on a chair.
d. Lie on your back with your knees drawn up to your chest.
2. Insert the colon tube into the rectum.
3. Open the clamp on the tubing and allow the coffee or herbal formula to enter.
When all the liquid is inside the colon, close the clamp and extract the tube
and lie on your right side for 5 minutes if possible. Gently massage the
abdomen with your hands. Then move onto your back for five minutes and
then on to your left side for 5 minutes. Do not be discouraged if you are
unable to retain the enema for the full amount of time.
Enemas are a main method of purification used in Ayurvedic medicine and are
highly esteemed for their healing effects. According to Ayurveda, they calm and
16
purify the nervous system and cleanse the colon. According to the ancient
Ayurvedic texts, enema removes the very root of the deranged humor called vata
and helps it to function optimally. Enema therefore purifies and improves the
regulation of the nervous system, stimulates the movement of the lymphatic
system, and the peristalsis of the intestines, and even the movement of thoughts
in the mind.
Niacin-Sauna Therapy
A special detoxification process has been developed to help in the release of
chemicals, pesticides, and pharmaceutical drugs. Used in some clinics, this
program includes several weeks of a high-fluid and juice diet, exercise, and a
high intake of niacin (vitamin B3) with sauna therapy. The extended saunas may
last several hours, with breaks to drink fluids. Niacin is a vasostimulator and
vasodilator, aiding circulation. The idea is to cleanse hidden chemicals from fat
through juice cleansing, weight loss, niacin therapy, exercise, and sweats.
The niacin-sauna program has therapeutic possibilities as an intense, medically
supervised detoxification process; however, it is still experimental and does
entail risks. Preliminary results are good-especially for people with symptoms
caused by exposure to pesticides such as Agent Orange-yet there are some
drawbacks. The program is costly and time-consuming. This extreme detox can
also cause nutrient deficiencies that can take months to replenish. Proper
nutrient restoration must be ensured, both during and after this therapy. This
program does help detoxification from many chemicals and drugs (especially the
recreational types) and from daily abuses of alcohol and nicotine.
Many of us can do a modified version of this therapy on our own with sauna, a
few days of juice cleansing, regular exercise, and supplemental niacin (beginning
at 100-200 mg and moving up to 2-3 grams daily). Be sure to replenish fluids and
minerals.
Five-day Cleansing
17
2 Days of a Purifying Raw-Food Program and a 3-Day Juice Fast
First complete the 2-week bowel detoxification and rebuilding program using Dr.
Schulze's Intestinal Corrective Formulae #1 and #2 and CONTINUE taking #1 & #2,
before you begin this program.
Then you may alternate this 5-day Liver Cleanse, or the 5-day Kidney Cleanse. Or you
may do both! The liver usually is detoxified before the kidneys, but you may reverse
this if desired.
Day 1: Upon arising drink 8 ounces of pure water with juice of 1/2 lemon.
Breakfast:
Morning Drink (Liver & Gallbladder Flush )
(Mix in a Blender) (in Spring and Summer ) 8 ounces of fresh orange juice or a citrus
juice combination (1 lemon or 1 lime and enough orange, grapefruit or tangerine to make
8 ounces) or (in Fall and Winter ) 8 ounces of fresh apple and/or grape juice 8 ounces of
Distilled Water
• 1-5 clove(s) of garlic (start with one and increase daily)
• 1-5 tablespoon(s) of organic virgin cold-pressed olive oil (start with one
and increase daily )
• 1 small piece of fresh Ginger Root (about 1 inch long)
15 minutes after this drink, consume 2 cups of Purification Tea (see recipes or
Detoxification Tea).
Next, take 2 dropperfuls of Liver/Gallbladder - Anti-Parasite tonic 4 times daily
during this cleanse. Take in a few ounces of water. It should be quite bitter.
Day #1 Breakfast Super foods smoothie with live, FRESH fruit or vegetable juice. Living
Vitamins, Minerals and other Essential Nutrients. They are so important for cleansing and
detoxification. If you are hungry before lunch time you may have fruit, diluted fruit
juices, or another super food smoothie. Stop all fruit or fruit juices at least 1 hour before
lunch. It is best while on this program not to mix fruit and vegetables together.
Day #1 Lunch
For lunch you can have diluted fresh raw vegetable juices, raw vegetables alone or in
salads, sprouts, potassium broth, and herb teas. You may make dressings for the salad if
you like using Olive oil, Avocado, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, Lemon Juice, Garlic,
Onions and any Herbs and Spices.
Afternoon Snacks: Raw vegetables, raw vegetable salads, diluted vegetable juices,
sprouts, potassium broth and herb teas. All vegetable food must be stopped by 6 p.m.
Day #1 Dinner
Diluted fruit juices, fruits, fruit smoothies, fruit salads and herb teas.
18
Day #2, #3 and #4
Now we begin the 3 day fast. Start with your water, morning flush drink and herbal tea.
Diluted fruit juices and herb tea until noon, diluted vegetable juices, Potassium Broth and
herb tea mid-day and afternoon and diluted fruit juices and herb tea again in the evening.
Consume at least 1 gallon (128 ounces) of liquid. That is 8 ounces every hour! If you get
hungry, DRINK MORE!!!
Potassium Broth Recipe (see pamphlet for additional recipes)
This is a great-tasting addition to your cleansing program. It will flush your system of
toxins, poisons and unwanted salts and acids while giving you a concentrated amount of
vitamins and minerals. Fill a large pot with 25% potato peelings, 25% carrot peelings and
whole chopped beets, 25% chopped on-ions including 50 cloves of garlic , 25% celery
and dark greens. Add hot peppers to taste. Add enough distilled water to cover vegetables
and simmer on very low temperature for 1-2 hours. Strain, or just dip your mug in, and
drink only the broth. Put the vegetables in your compost. Make enough for two days,
refrigerating the leftover broth. It is important to use Organic vegetables. We do not want
to consume any toxic insecticides, pesticides or inorganic chemical fertilizers while we
are on a cleansing and detoxification program.
Day #5: Today is the day to break your fast. Make this day the same as day #1.
Continuation of the fast with your morning drink and then you can have some fresh fruit.
Chew it very slowly and mix each mouthful with plenty of saliva. Remember, breaking
your fast is a very important part of this program. Chew your food well and eat until
satisfied, not full. You can always eat more later if you are still hungry. After 1:00 PM
you may have a small vegetable salad, and fruit again in the evening, chewing everything
to a liquid pulp. Remember, this program restricts the types of food you will be eating,
not the amount. If you are hungry at any point during this detoxification program, drink
and/or eat more. The more you eat and drink, the more you will flush the toxins out of
your body. Also remember to have a fun time. Your positive, healing attitude is most
important to achieve maximum benefits out of this program; be loving to yourself. Take
it easy when returning to a new healthy food program. Choose lighter foods for a few
days and be careful not to overeat. Chew your food well. Eating smaller meals more often
is better than one or two large meals.

Daily Rhythm – the importance of rhythm in the ahhhhh breath, thoughts, daily flow,
letting go… yearly cycle…time rhythms…life.
Here are a few key insights from the Ancient timeless wisdom tradition of the Ayurvedic
approach:
"Like the lord of a city in the affairs of his city, and a charioteer in the management of his
chariot, so should a wise person be ever vigilant in the care of his/her own body."
Charaka Samhita 200 BC
Fortifying Our Natural Vitality - Ojas
The essence of our natural vitality is given the name ojas or life power in Ayurveda. Life
power increases when we are happy and our lives are balanced and peaceful. Ojas or life power
21
decreases when we remain frustrated, angered, resentful, depressed, stressed out, nervous,
anxious or in any other way emotionally unstable or repressed. Our natural resistance forms at
the interface between the physical and the metaphysical. In Ayurveda ojas is understood to be
produced directly in three ways.
•First it develops naturally from positive thinking and positive emotions and
wholesome balanced living.
•Secondly our natural vitality or ojas increases when we live in rhythm,
breathing deeply and freely, sleeping soundly, laughing regularily…
•And thirdly ojas increases from the efficient and complete digestion and
metabolism of the foods we eat.
When one's ojas level is very high, the body has an enormous ability to recover from and resist
disease, and when the ojas level is low in the body, there is a lack of resistance to disease and the
bodily easily loses its equilibrium and becomes sick.
The following guidelines, laid down by the ancient teachers of Ayurveda like Charaka, Susruta,
and Vagbhata, tested by thousands of years and millions of human lives, describe the daily
routine to be followed by a healthy and wise person who desires to build their natural vitality and
maintain sound health. Daily observances which keep the bioforce (doshas) in balance are as
follows:

Wake up before sunrise.
Evacuate the bowels completely.
Wash eyes, mouth, teeth, face, and body, using neither very cold nor very hot
water. Scrape the tongue; using a curved instrument such a tongue scraper or a
spoon with no sharp edges, scrape off the chalky or mucus coating which
accumulated during the night.
Meditate or do regular spiritual practices. Include breathing practices to draw
within and expand the life energy.
Rub the body with oil (or msm lotion); rub the soles of the feet, forehead, and top
of the head. Oil drops can also be applied into the ears and nose; and
medicated oil and herbal gargles may be used. Medicated oil gum massages
are also beneficial.
Regular Exercise or do asanas. Partake of nature in the open air, experience
sunlight, beauty.
Take a bath or shower
Eat breakfast with a peaceful mind. It is important to eat regular meals.
Do worldly duties - right livelihood.
Try to keep the mind positive in all actions throughout the day. Include humor
and laughing a little every day, unstructured relaxation time, play, and selfrespect
Eat light food in the evening with a happy frame of mind, and at least two hours
before going to bed. After the meal go for a short walk.
At night, wash, change clothes and say prayers. Go to bed by 10 p.m. It is
important to get 6 regularly scheduled hours of sleep per night. Avoid any
night eating as it disturbs the sleep cycle and circadian life rhythm.

Self-Healing Basics to Remember During Detoxification
Alkaline - Acid Balance
Shifting from Catabolic to Anabolic Metabolism
The inter-ecology of the body with its 100 trillion cells depends on proper alkaline - acid
balance to maintain its optimal self-regulatory function. Alkalizing the body promotes
the body's natural self-regulatory processes. This speeds self-healing. Improving the
mineral balance in the body is essential as the regulatory functions of the body depend on
the minerals. Minerals are metals, they conduct electricity. As one shifts toward the
alkaline and their pH rises, the “electrical functioning” of the body is improved. It is the
electrical functioning of the body that initiates and supports the regulatory functions and
therefore self- healing.

Note that a food's acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has
nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons
are very acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and
assimilation are very alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body.
Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves very acidic
residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acidforming.
"This human body, at peace with itself, is more precious than the rarest gem.
Cherish your body; it is yours this one time only.
The human form is won with difficulty: it is easy to lose.
All worldly things are brief, like lightning in the sky.
This life you must know as the tiny splash of a raindrop.
…A thing of beauty that passes away even as it comes into being.
Therefore open your vision and attain it."
Lamma Tsong Khapa 14th-century Tibetan scholar and yogi
Vegetable juicing
Vegetable juicing is an important key to good health as it is an excellent source of
alkaline forming raw foods rich in natural minerals and vitamins.
Juicing is very beneficial, as many of us have relatively compromised intestines as a
result of less than optimal food choices over many years. This limits your body's ability
to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. Also, vegetable juicing allows you to eat
more of the vegetables than you would normally otherwise. By incorporating the juice
into your eating plan you will easily be able to reach the one pound of raw vegetables per
fifty pounds of body weight that you should eat every day.
What type of vegetables do I juice? I would recommend starting with the 3 vegetables
that are easiest to tolerate: Celery, Fennel (anise), Cucumbers. Unfortunately these are
not as beneficial as the more intense dark green vegetables. Once you get used to these
though you can start adding the better, but less palatable ones in. Green LEAFY
26
vegetables are probably the best to use in your vegetable juicing program. All green leafy
vegetables work well. The easiest ones to use include all the lettuces including, but not
restricted to: Red leaf, Green Leaf Romaine, Spinach.
You can then put in some of the other similar green leafy vegetables such as
Cabbage, Chinese Cabbage
Cabbage juice is one of the most healing nutrients for ulcer repair as it is a huge source of
vitamin U. Herbs also make wonderful combinations and there are two that work
exceptionally well: Parsley Cilantro
You can try using a few grapes in your vegetable juice. It's a good way to improve the
taste of your juice. Apple pectin is useful for stabilizing the blood sugar when you use
foods such as carrots or beets that have a higher glycemic index.
Vegetable juice has virtually no fat and no protein in it. That is why it would be helpful to
add some essential oils when you juice as well as some protein supplement to make the
meal more balanced.
Adding essential oils to your vegetable juice
There are four basic food supplements you could use:
Fish Oil (EPA/DHA) (source of omega 3 fatty acids) Flaxseed oil (source of omega 3 fatty acids,
not as beneficial for people over 50 their conversion to the beneficial fatty acids are not efficient)
Cod Liver Oil (has vitamin D and vitamin A in addition to the EPA/DHA of fish oil.) Evening
Primrose Oil (source of omega 6 fatty acids)
Detoxification SOUPS
Soups, clear broths and hot tonics are a very satisfying form of nutrition during a
cleansing fast. They are simple, easy, inexpensive, can be taken hot or cold, and provide a
means of "eating" and being with others at mealtime without going off a liquid detox
program. This is more important than it might appear, since solid food, taken after the
body has released all its solid waste, but before the cleanse is over, will drastically reduce
your diet's success. Broths are also alkalizing and help balance body pH. Hot tonics are
neither broths nor teas, but unique hot combinations of vegetables, fruits and spices with
purifying and energizing properties. The ingredients provide noticeable synergistic
activity when taken together - with more medicinal benefits than the single ingredients
alone. Take them morning and evening for best results.
MINERAL RICH CLEANSING BROTH For 6 cups of broth: Put in a large soup pot
with 11/2 qts. Water. Add 1 large Onion, chopped, 3 sliced Carrots, 2 Potatoes cubed, 1
cup Fresh Parsley, chopped, 2 Stalks Celery with tops. -Bring to boil; reduce heat;
simmer 30 minutes. Strain; add 1 TBS. Bragg Liquid Aminos.
27
PURIFYING DAIKON & SCALLION BROTH A clear cleansing drink with
bladder/kidney cleansing activity. For one bowl: Heat gently together for 5 minutes, 4
cups Vegetable Broth, one 6-inch piece Daikon Radish, peeled and cut in matchstick
pieces, and 2 Scallions, with tops. -Stir in 1 TBS. Tamari or 1 TBS. Bragg Liquid
Aminos, 1 TBS. Fresh Cilantro leaves and 1/2 teasp. Pepper.
SPRING CLEANING ENZYME SOUP For 8 cups soup: Simmer washed chopped
greens: 2 cups Fresh Nettle Tops, 1 cup Fresh Watercress Leaves, 1/2 cup Fresh
Dandelion Leaves, in pot with 2 cups Water. -Sauté 1 large minced Onion in 2 TBS.
Olive Oil. Add 2 Carrots diced, 2 Turnips diced, 3 TBS. Miso Paste and 6 cups Water.
Simmer 30 min. Add 1 cup Sunflower Sprouts.
POTASSIUM ESSENCE BROTH If you don't have a juicer, make a potassium broth in
a soup pot. While not as concentrated or pure, it is still an excellent source of energy,
minerals and electrolytes. For a 2 day supply: Cover with water in a soup pot 3 to 4
Carrots, 3 Stalks Celery, 1/2 Bunch Parsley, 2 Potatoes with skins, 1/2 Head Cabbage, 1
Onion, and 1/2 Bunch Broccoli. -Simmer covered 30 minutes. Strain and discard solids. Add 2 teasp. Bragg Liquid Aminos or 1 teasp. Miso. Store in the fridge, covered.

“Consider the Health Transforming Power of Healing the 100 trillion cell
membranes throughout the body.”
The following cellular detoxification and cell wall lipid exchange therapy is
designed to help your body heal itself. It will improve circulation throughout the
body’s entire capillary net and help unload the body’s burden of toxicity with an
emphasis on clearing neurotoxins. These neurotoxins may involve chemicals,
including petrochemicals, acetaminophen (Tylenol), alcohol, environmental
toxins, household chemicals, heavy metals and infectious states involving virus,
fungus, bacteria and parasites and all the inflammatory causing by-products that
28
these burdens produce. This program is designed to promote healing and Selfregulation through detoxification and essential nourishment.
By lessening what the body does not need that is burdening it and providing it
with all of the pure and essential nutrients that it does need, self-healing is
facilitated through increased internal coherency.
“Healing the cell wall membrane is virtually…healing the brain.”
Phospholipid Exchange & Up-regulating Glutathione
Cellular Detoxification and Cell Wall Lipid Replacement Therapy
Phosphatidylcholine and Glutathione Cell Membrane Therapy.
Phosphatidylcholine isolated from soya beans is used to revitalize cell
membranes, reverse the aging process, and rejuvenate the essential cells of all
major organs and tissues. It is called Essentiale-N. Glutathione Therapy is used
in addition as a detoxification compound to help clear the oxidative stress on the
nerves. Together these natural substances improve circulation of the intricate
capillary beds throughout the body. They also helps to flush the liver of
neurotoxins and other membrane congestion and promote the natural healing
and optimal functioning of the brain.
29
One of the most important biochemical changes regarding both aging and
many states of toxicity, is a change in membrane phospholipid composition;
the result being that we lose the active life giving highly fluid lipids and
replace them with rigid stiff inactive ones. That is how our “flow” and actually
life slows down. It actually occurs in the flow across our cell membranes and
results in loss of flow in all motions in and of the body and also potentially in
brain functioning. The loss of responsiveness of the active lipids is the strategic
negative factor.
Phosphatidylcholine is the predominate head group in the outer leaflet of the
membrane and is composed of two phospholipid groups opposing each other in
a normal bilipid membrane array. Phosphatidylcholine decreases with age
while sphingomyelin and cholesterol increases with age. (Barenholz, Schacter
1983). The importance of this shift in the outer membrane is difficult to
envision. It involves every cell of the body and every sensory neuron such as,
touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing, skin, blood cells, brain neurons,
endothelium, alveoli, immune cells, bone cells, etc. It involves the organelles
within the cell, such as the mitochondria the peroxisomes and the nuclear
membrane. The concept of aging and Phosphatidylcholine decline is a dramatic
shift in the bodies ability to self-regulate and heal itself (homeostatic ability).

ill individuals suffering from neurotoxin exposure impacts individuals with chronic

Syndrome, Estuary Associated Syndrome, Autism (and potentially other learning
disorders and possibly attention deficit disorders, certain Psychosis, Diabetes
without family history, Optic Neuritis, Refractory Heavy Metal Toxicity, Pulmonary
involvement including Hemorrhage, Stroke, etc. Individuals diagnosed with these
chronic illnesses may be potentially classified as 'Neurotoxic Membrane
Syndrome' with the endothelial cell membrane as the target of degeneration and
inflammatory reactivity.
While hypercoagulation (increased tendency for blood coagulation or sticky
clotting developing in circulating blood that can lead to infarction or death of
tissue as a result of blocked blood supply to the tissue) involves a myriad of
proteins, it is ultimately a membrane event, essentially disrupting the
phospholipids that structure the membrane. Agglomeration (blocked cellular
exposure to blood flow/nutrients and impaired cell-to-cell communication)
indicates elevation of phospholipase A2 and the uncoupling of eicosanoids from
the cell membrane causing inflammation. The agglomeration that eventually
occurs is, in essence, a product of a weakened membrane, and ultimately a
disturbed red cell fatty acid profile.
Phospholipid Exchange: The ability to alter the lipid composition of biological
cells by phospholipid exchange provides a means for improving the effect of
phospholipid variation on cell function.

The majority of the past 20 years of Phosphatidylcholine research on humans
has focused on the positive effects on arteriosclerosis and improving liver
enzymes and hepatitis. The liver receives the first flush of Phosphatidylcholine
from an infusion and receives 25% of the entire blood flow, therefore it was the
first examined for potential benefits of a Phosphatidylcholine exchange.
However, an exchange of lipids is systemic with every organ, every neuron and
every cell sharing the increased Phosphatidylcholine and the higher performing
lipids. It should be expected that improved metabolic performance would also be
systemic.
”The concept of altering an aging membrane is nothing short of exhilarating.”
Evaluation for phosphatidalcholine and Glutathione cell membrane therapy
Phosphatidylcholine
IV Phosphatidylcholine followed by IV glutathione and oral essential fatty acid
supplementation cell membrane therapies are used to: revitalize cell membranes,
reverse the aging process and rejuvenate the essential cells of all major organs and
tissues. Specifically for the liver, this therapy helps reduce and reverse fatty
changes and improves its natural detoxification functions. It has also been used
to treat and improve not only fatty liver changes but also cirrhosis (severe
shrinking and scaring of the liver as well as all forms of hepatitis and liver injury.
It flushes out toxins and other congealing restrictive congestions in the liver and
promotes the clearing of inflammatory and often infected “bile sludges”. It greatly
improves the functioning of this strategic organ that has over 500 functions and
has been lovingly called the body’s General or the Wife…”when the Wife is happy,
the rest of the body will be well ordered, supported, cleansed and will functioning
optimally…”
This natural therapy highly promotes cellular integrity, structure and function. It
also improves cell wall fluidity, and the clearing of renegade fats that impair cell
membrane function. It strengthens the nerves and improves myelination status,
and may reduce pain and inflammation by clearing the pro-inflammatory
(inflammation causing) and often pain producing products of the prostaglandins.
Glutathione
Glutathione is considered to be the most powerful, most versatile, and most
important of the body's self-generated antioxidants. Among glutathione's many
important properties are:
1) Is found in almost all living cells. The liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas,
and the lens and cornea, have the highest concentrations in the body.
2) It is a powerful antioxidant and thus neutralizes free radicals and
prevents their formation.
31
3) Important role in immune function via white blood cell production and is
one of the most potent anti-viral agents known and is one of the
strongest anti-cancer agents manufactured by the body,
4) Glutathione is involved in maintaining normal brain function. “Glutathione
not only increases (receptors on cells) sensitivity to dopamine, but
also to serotonin,” and thus may naturally decrease depression. (Dr.
Perlmutter).
5) Glutathione is able to reduce oxidized Vitamin C and Vitamin E back to
their unoxidized state,
6) Glutathione increases the ability of the liver to process chemicals. It
is used by the liver to detoxify many toxins including formaldehyde,
acetaminophen, benzpyrene and many other compounds and plays a key
role in Phase I and Phase II detoxification reactions.
7) It is an antioxidant necessary for the protection of proteins; is involved in
nucleic acid synthesis and plays a role in DNA repair, it maintains the
cellular redox potential and also protects the integrity of red blood cells.
8) Glutathione levels decrease with age, stress and many diseases. It is
involved in cellular differentiation and slows the aging process.
“We use glutathione to treat all neurodegenerative symptoms,
but it is also part of our treatment for fibromyalgia and chronic
fatigue syndrome. We also have found very effective in treating
irritable bowel syndrome.”
Dr. Perlmutter
“Illness is simply a signal to change”
Sidney Baker MD
The symptoms we experience are specifically, the body talking to us
IV Schedule using Phosphatidylcholine and Glutathione
Program involves administering IV therapy on a weekly or biweekly basis with IV
Phospholipid Exchange with Essentiale N (IV Phosphatidylcholine, 2 vials = 500 mg)
and following this with a Glutathione Fast Push 1800-2500 mg. Response to IV
therapy occurs individually and make take 3 to 7 infusions for significant
improvement in symptoms. It is essential that a nutrient dense, low carbohydrate diet
and appropriate supplementation is utilized. One to three times weekly it is important
to perform an Oral Liver Flush. (Next step, see 22 day plunge).
Beginning the detoxification process along with the dietary and lifestyle changes will
ease the body’s burden of biotoxins with the least amount of stress and side effects. It is
32
important to remove potential toxic and disease causing sources in your environment and
diet.
Preparation for Detoxification
Begin your detoxification with both dietary and lifestyle changes that will ease the
burden of biotoxins with the least amount of stress and side effects. First and foremost,
be kind to yourself. In addition, the potential toxic and pathogenic sources in the
environment and diet need to be removed to the best for your ability. These include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Remove processed oils, hydrogenated fats, margarine, canola oil, peanut oil or
peanut butter, Crisco, commercial mayonnaise or salad dressing with trans fats.
Check water supply, source must be pure
Avoid exposure to chemicals, pesticides, solvents in the home and workplace.
Avoid use of toothpaste with fluoride or fluoridated water/
Avoid exposure to molds such as black fungus (Stachybotyrs) in home and work
place, “sick building” syndrome.
Refrain from consuming large body predator fish that may be contaminated with
toxins, pathogens or heavy metals (amberjack or other jack species, grouper
shark, swordfish, barracuda, mahi mahi, red snapper, sea bass, large mouthed
bass, tilefish, oysters, pike, tuna, marlin, walleye, king mackerel, halibut.)

Deep Thoughts
• Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?
• If man evolved from apes, why do we still have apes?
• I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman where the Self-Help for
Sexual Longevity section was - she said it would defeat the purpose if
she told me.
• Isn't it scary that doctors call what they do "practice"?
• If a man stands in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no
woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
• Do they use sterilized needles for lethal injections?
• What should you do if you see an endangered animal eating an
endangered herb?
• What was the best thing BEFORE sliced bread?

Deep Thoughts for Detoxification:
I started out with nothing...I still have most of it.
When did my wild oats turn to prunes and all bran?
I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.
Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.
If all is not lost, where is it?
It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
If at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished.
If a man stands in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no
woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
The first rule of holes: If you are in one, stop digging.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman where the Self-Help for
Sexual Longevity section was - she said it would defeat the purpose if she
told me.
Isn't it scary that doctors call what they do "practice"?
It was all so different before everything changed.
Nostalgia isn't what is used to be.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at
the end.
Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip round
the sun.
A closed mouth gathers no feet.
Being healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can
die.
The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
Early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I intend to live forever-so far so good.
Support intestinal bacteria, they're the only culture some people have.
When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane!
When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded.
Everyone has a photographic memory, some do not have film.
What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
I used to have an open mind, but my brains kept falling out.
38
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED
You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and
wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
Raising teenagers is like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree.
There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for
it. For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles
don't hurt.
Middle age is when you choose cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
The more you complain, the longer God lets you live.
If you can remain calm, you don't have all the facts.
Eat a live toad first thing in the morning, and nothing worse can
happen to you the rest of the day.
Therapeutic Benefits of Laughter
Dr. Lee Berk and fellow researcher Dr. Stanley Tan of Loma Linda University in
California have been studying the effects of laughter on the immune system. To date their
published studies have shown that laughing lowers blood pressure, reduces stress
hormones, increases muscle flexion, and boosts immune function by raising levels of
infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma-interferon and B-cells,
which produce disease-destroying antibodies. Laughter also triggers the release of
endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and produces a general sense of well-being.
Following is a summary of his research, taken from an interview published in the
September/October 1996 issue of the Humor and Health Journal.
Laughter Activates the Immune System
In Berk's study, the physiological response produced by belly laughter was opposite of
what is seen in classical stress, supporting the conclusion that mirthful laughter is a
eustress state -- a state that produces healthy or positive emotions.
Research results indicate that, after exposure to humor, there is a general increase in
activity within the immune system, including:
39
•
•
•
•
•
•
An increase in the number and activity level of natural killer cells that attack viral
infected cells and some types of cancer and tumor cells.
An increase in activated T cells (T lymphocytes). There are many T cells that await
activation. Laughter appears to tell the immune system to "turn it up a notch."
An increase in the antibody IgA (immunoglobulin A), which fights upper respiratory
tract insults and infections.
An increase in gamma interferon, which tells various components of the immune
system to "turn on."
An increase in IgB, the immunoglobulin produced in the greatest quantity in body, as
well as an increase in Complement 3, which helps antibodies to pierce dysfunctional
or infected cells.
The increase in both substances was not only present while subjects watched a humor
video; there also was a lingering effect that continued to show increased levels the
next day.
Laughter Decreases "Stress" Hormones
The results of the study also supported research indicating a general decrease
in stress hormones that constrict blood vessels and suppress immune activity.
These were shown to decrease in the study group exposed to humor.
For example, levels of epinephrine were lower in the group both in anticipation
of humor and after exposure to humor. Epinephrine levels remained down
throughout the experiment.
Seven Daily Strategies Supportive of Living in Balance
And combating accelerated aging:
1. Centering and Rhythm. Naturally living in rhythm including daily meditation,
prayer or other centering practice along with optimal exercise.
2. Nutritional Awareness, Detoxification and Regeneration. Listen to the body and
eat an intuitively balanced, natural diet free of chemical additives, imbalanced sugars and
altered fats and other ingredients. Regularly cleanse unwanted substances out of the
body to facilitate its self-healing.
3. Joy and humor. Rhythmical time for play, laughter, time in nature and relaxation
4. Creative Expression. Art, music, story telling, creative writing...
5. Compassion, Communion and Connectedness. Feelings of closeness and physical
closeness Love, family, community and support systems. Feeling of belonging.
6. Natural enthusiasm. Love of learning in all aspects of life, in personal growth,
creative pursuits and in service.
7. Spirit. Trust and faith and awareness of unity. Experience of the supernatural.
