Enzymatic Whole Body Cleanse Directions

Overview
The modern Western diet includes many foods that are highly processed and contain food additives from salt to chemical preservatives. Our bodies were designed to digest whole foods such as fruits and vegetables, as well as meat and whole grains in moderation. Food additives, environmental pollutants, overeating and other factors can disrupt the natural digestive process, resulting in toxic buildup in our organs and tissues. A periodic system cleanse can be beneficial.

Types of Whole Body Cleanses
You can find an array of cleansing products at your local health food store ranging from simple fiber therapies to three-month long programs. In a survey of the 20 best-selling brands, a panel of three chiropractic and homeopathic practitioners posted their top picks on the website detoxreviews.com. The top three brands were Colonix/Toxinout™ by DrNatura, Cleanse Smart/Heavy Metal Cleanse™ by ReNew Life and Intestinal Drawing Formula™ by Health Force Nutritionals. "Whole Body Cleanse™" by Enzymatic Therapy, Inc. was No. 8 on the list.

How to Do a Whole Body Cleanse
Most body cleanse routines consist of three or more supplements that include herbs and fiber to help the bowels slough and rid themselves of buildup and toxins. Some ingredients are for purging the liver and kidneys of excess heavy metals; and the best programs also include probiotic supplements for increasing the good bacteria in your gut to maintain your digestive health. If you choose to use "Whole Body Cleanse™" you will find it contains three parts: a laxative formula, a fiber drink and a liver-cleansing formula. This is a 14-day program, and you take all three products at bedtime. The first week, you will take three laxative tablets, one packet of fiber mixed with water and one liver caplet. The second week you will take two laxative tablets, one packet of fiber drink and the liver caplet is taken in the morning and at bedtime.

What to Expect
Most prepackaged cleansing programs are similar, and you will follow package directions for their use. The Colonix(tm) brand has similar components to the Enzymatic product, but it is recommended that you use it for up to three months for full effectiveness. Users of these products attest to feeling more energy and having fewer pre-existing symptoms by the program's completion.

Other Ways to Detoxify
If you prefer a less drastic approach, you may want to try French Green Clay. This is a powdered clay found only in France and Indonesia that has been taken internally and applied externally for centuries to cleanse the body and skin of toxins and heavy metals. The most natural but slowest method of detoxifying your system is to change your diet and eliminate as many sources of food additives, metals and other non-nutrients as possible.

Tips
Make sure you drink plenty of filtered water while you are on any detox program to help you eliminate the toxins that are being cleansed from your system. After you have completed your cleansing, you may want to make the diet change suggested above. Eat whole fruits and vegetables as the bulk of your meals. You can also have small amounts of minimally processed lean meats, dairy and whole grains.
