There is a wide variety of detox diet plans publicized in magazines, on the Internet, and on television. Some take up to four weeks, and are ruled out as too extreme by many nutritionists. There are also milder, 24- to 72-hour detox diets combining fasting and drinking nothing but purified water for the first 24 hours.

The detoxification diet that targets the liver is the most effective of all the detox plans out there. Among the body’s most important instruments, your liver is an intricate and complicated organ with more than nine hundred functions. The liver filters toxins from your bloodstream. In our everyday lives, exposure to pollutants, combined with our own less-than-healthy diets, cause the liver to clog, something like a vacuum cleaner filter. (more…)

The main function of the kidney is to clean the blood so that it can be circulated and used for various reasons within the body. The blood contains so many substances, one of them being uric acid. The excess of uric acid in the blood system can cause harsh pains on joints. This rigorous pain on the joints is described as gouty arthritis. It causes joint inflammation, pain and swelling.

The failure of the kidney to function is a suggestion that there is more uric acid from the body waste in the blood system. This arthritis can originate from a natural mistake in metabolism or reduced renal excretion while at the same time it can be because of wrong use of drugs that increases purine in the body. Crash diets, operations, liquor and overweight are also major causes of gout.

When one experiences strong joint pains and swelling, and insurgence of the urate levels in blood, then one has to consider the fact of having gout problems. Bruised joints, tender and hot skins, white pus and skin sores, and immobility on the joints are some of the symptoms of this condition. (more…)

Regardless of which way you lean politically, the fact is that there’s something that all seniors… and everyone really… in the U.S. should be thinking about right now, more than ever before.

Your health!

That’s right, if you haven’t been paying attention lately, the health care bill that might (or shall I say, will likely) get passed may not be…shall we say…great for the older people in this country.

Here are some very strong reasons why:

“PG 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3 Government provides approved list of end of life resources, guiding you in death!”

“PG 427 Lines 15-24 Government mandates program for orders for end of life. The Government has a say in how your life ends!”

“Pg 429 Lines 1-9 An “adv. care planning consult” will be used frequently as patients health deteriorates.”
“PG 429 Lines 10-12 “adv. care consultation” may include an ORDER for end of life plans. AN ORDER from GOVERNMENT!!!”

“Pg 429 Lines 13-25 – The government will specify which Doctors can write an end of life order.”

“PG 430 Lines 11-15 The Government will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.”

Now I’m not going to tell you to call your senators or congress men and women. I’m not going to tell you what you should think of this proposal, nothing like that!

In order to benefit from a colon cleanse, we must first do a little introspection. We must ask ourselves some serious questions about ourselves, and about how we are doing psychologically as well as physically. We must ask ourselves about our feelings, and one way to see how we are feeling is to ask what is going on in our colon and other intestinal areas. For it is there that many of our deepest secrets wait to be revealed as we seek them. “Know thyself!”, said the Delphic priestess thousands of years ago, and she was exactly right – both physically and mentally.

As a first step, examine carefully your feelings in your lower abdomen. Sit back in your chair and concentrate your mental focus on that part of your body. It will probably not be necessary for you to close your eyes, but try to have the lights lowered in the room where you think about your colon. Liver cleanse might be another thing for you to consider and to visualize while meditating on your colon and on its problems. The liver is something you will not feel quite as graphically as you feel your colon, but it is there, and ills that affect your colon will have a bad influence on your liver, too. (more…)
