I honestly believe, and science will back this up, that given the proper nutrition our bodies have the ability to detox themselves. The problem is that most of us are suffering from over consumption malnutrition. The foods we eat (even the fresh ones) just don't contain the nutrients they did just a few decades ago. I started using this product about 10 months ago and have never felt better. My hair and nails grow faster and my hair has never been fuller or healthier. I sleep better and feel mentally sharp all day long. I finally think that my body is getting everything it needs to function optimally. I drink this product every day and toxins just don't accumulate in my system. Here is the site where I purchase it-good luck!
Apples and water for 3-5 days
fasting is the best way of detoxing
2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar in 8 ounces of water 3 times a day for 2 weeks
Detoxing the body can be uncomfortable to say the least because you are ridding yourself of the toxins you have been putting into your body for a long time. I tell you this right up front because if you are not serious about the detoxification you will give up because of being uncomfortable. This is how I do it.
When doing this for the first time, a 12 to 24 hour liquid fast is recommended, where you drink only water and the drinks listed below. No caffeinated drinks please or drinks with sugar or artificial sweeteners in them.
All the way through refrain from eating processed foods including soda, power drinks, candy, and any other food that is processed with chemicals. Do not eat foods that are not organic in origin while you are detoxing. If you continue to put toxins into your body while trying to detox why even bother going through the exercise?
Stay away from simple carbs/starches like white/wheat bread, potatoes, pastas and any other simple carbohydrate. Because these foods are mostly processed with artificial colors, and flavors.
Eat lots of fresh uncooked vegetables, and fruits.
Increase your filtered/purified water intake dramatically- 1 gallon a day at least
Fiber is essential to cleanse the Colon- I find Oat Bran to be easier to consume than many others. You can make a hot cereal with raisins, and cinnamon that taste like a muffin. Eat a good amount of this every day
Organic Apple Cider Vinigar- 1tblsp in a cup of warm water with a touch of honey every day will also help cleanse your entire system.
Lemons are also very cleansing- make yourself a nice freshly squeezed organic lemonade sweetened with Stevia, which is a natural sweetener that is low on the hypoglycemic chart and safe for diabetics. I caution you to use only a very small amount of the stevia per glass 1/4 teas. or less. If you use to much it will taste bitter. Otherwise it is delicious, improves colon function and balances out blood sugar.
For liver and kidneys- Dandelion Root, Milk Thistle, Licorice Root and the increased water intake will do the trick normally. You can buy these in a tea form and drink them as a nice hot tea.
If you experience to much discomfort while doing this just cut back on something and continue the process a little slower. I do a maintenance detox to keep myself clear of toxins, by following the above on a smaller scale.
Once you have gone through this process you should have more energy, sleep better, and just generally feel better.
Good luck, Rose
Dandelion tea works wonders on a sluggish liver (the primary filtering organ of the body), gall bladder (which produces bile to assist the digestion of fatty foods) and spleen ( an organ producing new red blood cels), and it also encourages bowel action and reduces fluid retention. Drinking Dandelion tea is one of the most effective ways to detox your body, because it stimulates digestive enzymes and bile to allow the easier metabolism of fatty foods.
Dandelion leaves, alfalfa, aspargus, celery and vitamin B6 can all work as natural diuretics.
Dandelion tea is excellent for ridding the body of excess fluid because, as the tea leaves contain high amounts of potassium, the body is not depleted of this important mineral through the diuretic effect of the tea.
Ensure, for therapeutic purposes, that you buy organic Dandelion leaf as the commercial or teabag varieties have had so much of their essential oils pulverised from them. Another reason to use organic is one of the properties of the Dandelion plant is to absorb metal pollutants from the atmosphere ~ as such organic really is essential. Add honey to taste if you like as the taste can be quite bitter ….. or lemons or limes if you like the tartness.
2 – 3 teaspoons per teapot would be sufficient.By buying the organic variety, the essential oils are still so potent that the spent leaves could be reused 2 – 3 times ~ simply refill the pot with hot water and rebrew for 15 – 20 minutes.
Limit your intake of Dandelion tea to a period of say 2 – 3 weeks at a time …….. have rest periods in between using it .

Water, water water …. Ensure that you also hydrate your body properly with at least 2 – 3 litres of water per day as nothing substitutes for pure fresh water.
Try to cut back on dehydrating drinks such as coffee, tea, sodas and soft drinks and alcohol (if you drink any of these) as they will not only dehydrate you terribly but also rob you of your essential B complex of vitamins.
Take a multi B complex supplement also…. to support healthy immune, neural and digestive functioning…… great for bolstering your body to deal with life's every day stressy situation …. Get one including all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 andB12 and folic acid etc. as they all work best as a group. Don't buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group, unless specifically told to do so buy a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath.
Please also ensure that you consult with a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath or herbalist before using Dandelion herb if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and do not use on infants or young children.
Try to cut out all junky and pre packaged foods and eat food as freshly and as close to its natural state as you possibly can…… ditch the milk and dairy for a while and instead pump your intake of leafy and green vegies, vegies, fresh fruits, (fruits and vegies are both rich in calcium) wholegrain cereals and breads, cold water fishes (calcium and vitamin D rich ~ vitamin D is needed for the effective assimilation of calcium) and organic lean meats ♥
hope this info helps you a bit♥

Juice Fasting is one of the most effective ways to purge the body of built-up feces in the colon. Juice fasts are popular, as they will provide you with the nutrients your body needs during the fast.
Fruit is also one of the best foods that cleanse the colon quickly and efficiently. The natural fibers found within fruits help to promote regularity. Many fruits, including prunes and grapes, actually serve as a laxative and can help break up constipation.
Make sure to consult your doctor before going on any type of diet or fast.
