Summer is a great time to cleanse.

We eat lighter foods at this time of year  more salads, fresh fruit and fish plus we tend to drink more water.
I believe that a cleanse can be a very important part of a persons on-going wellness program.
But be careful.
Be sure your body is strong enough to handle a cleanse, be sure you have a skilled practitioner nearby who can assist you in cleansing properly and be sure you choose the right kind of cleanse.

Many people think that cleansing means fasting. These are very different programs.
In a clinical setting where I worked for many years, we would often see severely depleted people who thought they were doing themselves a good service by cleansing or fasting well beyond what their body was capable of handling. They arrived at our clinic, depleted and way out of balance.

Cleansing should revolve around detoxification and fortification. In other words, removing toxic items from the body and feeding the body correctly so that it gains vitality and strength. Once the body is strong, a cleanse might be a useful addition to a wellness program.
If you do not suffer from hypoglycemia or low blood sugar then you could try a short vegetable juice cleanse: juicing with fresh vegetables two or three times a day with lots of water, hot vegetable broth three times a day along with a handful of sprouted almonds three times a day  just to give you a little protein.
When juicing with vegetables keep carrot intake low  carrots though nutritious, are very sweet. You can add half an apple to your vegetable juice  but thats all the fruit I would recommend. A fruit juice cleanse is often far too sweet for most people.

Some health professionals and health food stores offer prepared, powdered cleanses for their clients. This might be a more supportive route to choose.
Some of these cleanses are actually meal replacements and are loaded with nutrients so the person feels satisfied and not depleted. Others are specifically related to heavy metal, parasite, liver or candida yeast detoxification.
Recolonizing lower bowel flora with probiotics (acidophillus) is another important aspect of cleansing. These are kits and are usually herbal in nature.

Here are some items I recommend:

Renew Life has some excellent cleansing kits available in health food stores.
ARTR-E-CLENZ- Nutritional Arterial Cleansing is designed to reverse atherosclerosis without surgery and helps to reverse arterial disease once it has progressed. Plus it improves circulation and greatly increases your energy.
See article below.
Available though our office. Call 360-527-3311 or email.
BIO-K - high powered probiotics to help recolonize the lower colon. Available in health food stores.

Organs that need to be supported during a cleanse are liver: pancreas: gall bladder: colon: kidneys.
Unless a cleanse is monitored by a professional, there can be a number of concerns: possible constipation, low blood sugar, chills, mood swings and fatigue.
Never fast.
Just drinking water for days on end can have serious deleterious effects on the body. Most people are not equipped to handle this kind of plan.

I suggest you take a week. Take some quality time for yourself. Remove caffeine, sugar, wheat/flour and dairy products from the diet. Pick up a herbal bowel detoxification/cleansing kit from your health food store and follow the directions.
Eat lightly from fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and sprouted nuts. Drink lots of water. In about 48 hours you will notice quite a change in the body  more vitality and mental clarity. This is how you are supposed to feel. After your cleanse is finished, introduce foods back into the diet one at a time and note the reaction.

Like me, you will probably notice that you have less symptoms and reactions if you choose to eat protein, lots of vegetables and minimal grains on a daily basis.

Cleansing can lead us to an important lifestyle change and the understanding of what the body wants: no toxins, no bad stuff and no poisons.
This is also a great time to cleanse your thoughts, cleanse your house and prepare for wonderful new things to come into your life.

Last month as you know my husband and I spent some time in France. Along with having a magical vacation, I experienced several vivid dreams.
There is nothing nicer than waking up early, snuggled next to my husband and sharing our dreams. Gary is skilled in Jungian Analysis and he is often very helpful in dream interpretation.
I received 2 distinct messages from those dreams that I carry close to my heart and make them part of a daily shift in consciousness.

Hows your dream life  had any great dreams lately?
Dreams are a very important and telling piece of our physical, emotional and spiritual reality  what is going on in your life.
Your body and your subconscious are trying to communicate to you on a moment by moment basis.
Dreams are just one of the tools that you can use to tap into the vast pool of riches that lie just beneath the surface of your mind and body connection.
Dreams speak to us in symbols. Most of the symbols, pictures, or messages are garbled and make no obvious sense. Psychotherapists tell us that dreams are the inner workings of the subconscious, releasing the clutter of the mind. But the symbols of dreams can be instrumental in understanding emotional blockages, assisting with physical healing or in foretelling the future.

Heres how to analyze a dream. Immediately upon waking, make a note of all the images in the dream. Write down your impressions quickly to get a sense of each dream sequence. Never mind if they are random and undecipherable. Usually the symbols in a dream are aspects of ourselves and they speak to us in a language we will hear. Twenty-five percent of dreams are said to be precognitive or foretelling of an event to come.

You may wake up from a dream where you are being chased or persecuted. This usually represents a part of you that is trying to get your attention or a part of your personality that is attacking you. As we clear out the buried emotion and cleanse the physical body of unwanted toxins, we rarely have these kinds of dreams.
A vehicle or car usually represents the physical body. A bridge or boat can mean the passage from one physical or emotional place to another. A baby in a dream can represent the birth of a new project, not necessarily a physical birth. Water in a dream can refer to the subconscious.
As you note down each image in the dream, ask yourself what this could mean in your current situation; or find a person who is skilled in interpreting dreams. I have a dream buddy, a friend who often assists me in interpreting my dreams, and I with hers. There are many useful books to help decipher a dream's message.

There is no right or wrong way to interpret dreams. The questions you want to ask yourself are, What does this dream mean to me? and What is the deeper, all wise, all knowing part of me trying to communicate through this dream? Ask for clarity regarding an issue in your life to come through a dream. Your desire is to be strengthened not weakened by the experience.
Focusing on your dreams, working with them and integrating their messages into your life can also hasten the realization of your own personal dreams and hearts desire.

Many years ago at the age of forty, I became interested in nutritional arterial cleansing.
At that time the formula was only available in Canada.
As many of you know, I speak about nutritional arterial cleansing at each one of my workshops.
I was delighted to find out that this formula ARTR-E-CLENZ is now available in the United States.
David Rowland PhD Nutritionist well known for his many books and nutritional formulas is the creator of
ARTR-E-CLENZ, a product that for over 20 years has been helping people to remove arterial plaque and prevent its return.
It contains high powered nutrients specifically designed to increase blood flow and remove the arterial deposits that are responsible for heart attacks and strokes.
I will be interviewing David or Theo Pypker regarding this fascinating subject of vascular cleansing, on my next
Free Teleconference on Monday July 17th at 5pm PDT.
I can personally vouch for the product. If you are interested in cleansing your arteries, improving circulation, lowering blood pressure and having boundless energy I recommend it.

ARTR-E-CLENZ - 300 caplets - $65 plus S/H
Dose: 5 caplets with breakfast and dinner. Take 1 bottle per month for every decade of your age. If you are 60 you take ARTR-E-CLENZ for 6 months, if you are fifty, five months and so on.
The informative book "The Nutritional Bypass: reverse athersclerosis without surgery, is included with the product. It contains many testimonials like the one below.

Bypass Not Justified -
"My minister was scheduled for a triple bypass in june this year. About the middle of April upon my insistance, he started taking ARTR-E-CLENZ. To our great amazement at the final medical examination at the end of June, the operation was declared 'unjustified' in view of the patient's recovery."

Cleansing the body and the arteries is something that each person should focus on at least once a year - especially after the age of forty!

The flowers are not gone but sometimes I wonder where the thinking is?
Last month, on the plane ride home, I asked the couple next to me if they were vacationing in the Northwest. No - they told me they were going to spend 5 days at a clinic specializing in "Ionic Pulsation Therapy." This couple both in their 60s then stretched out their hands gnarled and swollen with arthritis.
I told them a bit about my background and the link between inflammation and food allergies most notably to wheat/flour and the deadly nightshade family: tomatos, potatos, eggplant, peppers and tobacco.
It turned out that the woman was highly addicted to tomatos - eating about 12 a day and constantly drinking tomato juice. I suggested there could be a link to tomatoes and her condition.

Tomatos, oh no, I couldn't give up my tomatoes, she said with a grin.
There they were heading off to a clinic that was very expensive ($5000. for 5 days) with questionable but possibly beneficial results when in my opinion much relief could be gained from avoiding common inflammatory foods.

Being a medical intuitive is not easy. Seeing into people's bodies and conditions can be challenging. It baffles me why people are not interested in making simple changes that could be life saving.
I am reminded of the Bible verse, "Cast not your pearls before swine."
When will they ever learn....................?
I am thankful for all of you who do!!
