Millions of people want to lose weight, and everyone wants to find the easiest, fastest way to do so with the least amount of work. The latest scheme for this is known as ‘body cleansing’, or a ‘cleansing diet′. They pull you in with seductive claims of how being fat is not your fault, and if you just take a few little pills you’ll be completely fixed and never have to worry about being fat again.

This simply isn’t true. Despite the claims of the advertisers, these detoxification schemes never actually work. For example, I recently saw a product advertised that claims to get rid of the “dangerous worm” Paragonimus Westermani, which supposedly lives in everyone and causes health problems and obesity. Only problem with that is, Paragonimus Westermani comes from eating freshwater crabs. Live. When did you last eat a live crab? I seriously doubt it’s as common as the advertisers seem to think.

The best thing you could hope for when following one of these body cleansing schemes is that nothing would happen, while in fact what is far more likely is that you would end up with some major problems. If you did get rid of all the bacteria in your gut, you would be completely defenseless to all the usual dangers that they normally protect you from.

Imagine your body is a castle, and the good bacteria are an army put in place to keep you safe from the bad bacteria outside of you. In return for using a small amount of the food you eat, they guard you from hundreds and thousands of deadly enemies that you can’t even see.

As a matter of fact, one of the ‘cleansing’ sites I looked at gave a picture of what they said were plaque spots on your colon. It would have been terribly convincing, except that they left on the little tag in the corner of the picture, which identified it as an image of candidiasis. Candidiasis happens to be a potentially deadly disease, which is caused by…. lack of bacteria.

Now, maybe it’s just me, but using a picture of a disease caused by having no bacteria, to try and get you to remove your bacteria, struck me as terribly silly. This person, I thought to myself, obviously doesn’t care about checking their sources or giving good information. Why should I place my health in the hands of someone like that? Why should you?

It’s entirely up to you of course, but for myself I would rather stick to good old fashioned dieting then take the chance on some new scheme that probably won’t work, and might even kill me. I know, I know, dieting is hard work. Well, anything truly worth having takes effort, and even if it’s too much work I’d still rather be fat then dead.

The cleansing programs offer a lot of big promises and claims, but they′re all either scams, or ignorance. If you want something that will really work, talk to your doctor or dietician, and stay clear of the crazy new schemes that haven’t a hope of working.

Just like home spring cleaning, a periodic body cleansing diet does your body good!

When the cold months end and spring is in the air, most home makers get in the mood for a good and vigorous spring cleaning, chasing away the accumulation of spider webs on the outside of the windows, cleaning up the garage and closets and doing tasks that require opening the windows, such as oven cleaning. A hundred years ago, people also gave their bodies a ’spring cleaning’, using herbs and various elixirs designed to clean the body. Somehow, (maybe due in part to the odious cod liver oil Mama always had on hand), this practice fell by the wayside as modern medicine progressed, with a solution to every ailment. However, a yearly body cleansing diet is perhaps more necessary than it was a century ago.

Today, there are many environmental pollutants which accumulate as toxins in our bodies. For example, automobile, truck and bus emissions are everywhere. If you’ve ever gone outside a major metropolitan airport to stretch your legs while waiting for a connecting flight, you know what I’m talking about ” the air doesn′t look fit to breathe and smells just as bad. Pesticides are other offenders. Poor dietary habits can create deficiencies which leave your body in a poor condition. All of these factors contribute to a variety of health conditions. Using a body cleansing diet is one way to fight back and flush some of these toxins from your body and give you a fresh start.

Here are just a few ways to refresh your body’s organs and boost your immune system function, all without the unpleasant ritual of cod liver oil!

Your liver and kidneys are the main storage and processing organs for any toxins which find their way into your body. Let’s address these first. The root of the dandelion plant is a marvelous tonic for your liver, detoxifying and strengthening the function of this most important organ. Every body cleansing diet should include this powerful and safe herb. If your liver function is impaired with a condition such as the classic ‘fatty’ liver, use Milk Thistle seed, another safe remedy, which, while acting as a tonic, also has the proven ability to regenerate liver cells.

To keep your kidneys in top condition, cranberries are an excellent way to disinfect the kidneys and flush out accumulated toxins. This addition to your body cleansing diet decreases your risk of urinary tract and other bacterial infections of the kidneys. If you like cranberry juice, a glass a day helps keep the doctor away. Alternatively, you can buy powdered cranberries, in capsules, at the health food store to keep your kidneys healthy.

One reason we feel so bad when we′re down with the flu is that an excess of toxins are released into the blood stream, causing those awful muscle aches and pains. Here, burdock root provides a way to rapidly and throughly clean your bloodstream.

In moist and damp winter climates, you may develop respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis or pneumonia. Given the right conditions, these can become chronic, eventually progressing to even more serious and even fatal conditions. Even if you breeze through the cold months without coming down with anything, a good body cleansing diet should address issues of the lungs. A combination of elecampane root, pleurisy root and a dash of cayenne pepper, in approximately a 8:2:1 ratio respectively, restores your lungs and cleans out any pockets of mucus you may not have even noticed.

Get your immune system response in top condition with Echinacea, now widely known to ward off colds, when taken at the fist sign of symptoms.

We all have just one body to carry us through life. Implementing a body cleansing diet once or twice a year will help keep you hale and hearty well into your older years.

Women who use skin care items often say they don’t feel or see any difference when they use a toner, but there really is one. Using the proper toner will guarantee a positive change because anytime you use anything on your face, that item changes the pH of your skin. Toners are often confused with witch hazel and astringents but witch hazel contains oil, and astringents usually contain alcohol.

Skin type should be your first consideration when you use anything on your face, including toner. Creamy toners may have up to 5% oil and that makes them best for dry or combination/dry skin and this type should beware of alcohol based products. Toners for oily or combination/oily skin should contain fruit acids like those extracted from grapefruit, pineapple or lemon or you can look for added oil absorbing powders in your product. Irritant free, hypo-allergenic toners are what you should look for if you have sensitive skin.

What do they do?

Toners return your skin to its normal pH, while they calm and cool the skin and temporarily close your pores. When applied with a cotton applicator, toner helps to remove dirt, facial oils, dead cells and any residue left by your cleanser or makeup that was not washed or rinsed away with your cleansing routine.

Your facial cleanser changes the pH of your skin based on the amount of alkaline or acid it contains. Your skin must then work to restore its’ natural pH levels and depending on the product, it might take an hour or more. However, your skin immediately returns to its normal pH after using a toner.

How do I use a toner?

The 3 best ways to use your toner are a spray application, with cotton or with bare hands to apply toner to your neck and face. Use your toner directly after cleansing and before you moisturize your face. Toner is expecially beneficial for oily skin because it helps keep pore size from enlarging.

Liquid toner application works best with cotton, i.e., flat cotton squares or rounds or cotton balls. Tissues are not a good idea, because they retain more liquid than you’ll use on your face. A quarter size amount on your cotton applied to your face and neck with upward circular strokes is all you need.

Gel toner is usually oil free and has the lightest texture. This type is generally made for oily skin and often contains anti-bacterial additives like rose water, citric acid or lavender. Look for a toner with salicylic acid (to remove dead skin cells and help prevent pimples) if you are very oily. Use the directions for cream toner to answer application questions.

Gel toner is very light in texture and is generally oil free. Designed with oily skin in mind, this type may contain anti-bacterial ingredients like citric acids, or lavender or rose water. If you have really oily skin, look for salicylic acid (which aids in preventing pimples by removing dead skin cells) in the toner. For use, follow directions for cream toner.

Spray toners are a no-brainer, but remember to close your mouth and eyes before misting your face and neck. Both men and women can use toners. For men, an after shave also closes pores but a toner doesn’t sting like aftershave unless it contains alcohol.

Men should consider moisturizing after toner use. The manufacturers of men’s skin care items refer to men’s moisturizers as a facial lotion or a hydrator, so men won’t think they’re using female items. However, the only significant difference is the scent.

Master Cleanse diet makes use of the body natural ability to heal itself to rid of any harmful waste found in our body. Some people named it the lemonade diet as the Master Cleanse diet requires one to consume a cocktail of lemonade. There have been many positive results for people who have faithfully stick to the Master Cleanse diet. Some even experience a huge change to their health status after just using the Master Cleanse diet for just 2 weeks.

You may wondered why we need to drink the lemonade cocktail. Reason being that the lemonade cocktail will assist your body in removing the waste materials. Thus, Master Cleanse diet is a very simple and healthy way to help your body get healthy. Many people who have been struggling with their weight found success soon after they embark on the Master Cleanse diet. And as Master Cleanse diet requires the user to follow a tight regime, it also helps the user to break his bad eating habits.

When you are done with the Master Cleanse diet, you will automatically be discouraged from following all the old habits which contributed to an unhealthy lifestyle. Those with skin problem like acne can also find help by using the Master Cleanse diet. Many of us use drugs to help us remove the acne because this is normally what our doctor will recommend. But as soon as we stop using the drug which the doctor prescribed, our skin problem will also return. With the Master Cleanse, you will actually not suffer from this recurring problem as the medication helps to remove the root cause of the problem which is the toxins inside our body.

Master Cleanse is effective in dealing with weight problems. Common way of reducing weight is to reduce the intake of your calories. However, your body will react differently with a sudden reduce of intake of calories. Your body will slow down its metabolism rate to deal with the shortage of calories. So, when one resumes its normal diet, you actually gain weight instead of losing.

The Master Cleanse is a rejuvenating detoxification which rids the body of unwanted toxins. As we grow older, our body breaks down and the cells are replaced more slowly. The cell replacement process is further aggravated by the toxins within our body. Thus, when we use the master cleanse, our body being free of toxins will be able to take less effort in replacing its damaged cells and repairing itself. In the end, you will end up looking younger as the old cells are replaced.

They pull you in with seductive claims of how being fat is not your fault, and if you just take a few little pills you’ll be completely fixed and never have to worry about being fat again.

The truth of the matter, is that this is plain out not right. For a specific example, there’s a product recently that claims they can get rid of obesity by removing the “dangerous worm” called Paragonimus Westermani. They have some horrible pictures of the worm, and of what it does to you, but fail to leave out one important little fact… the only way it can get into you, is if you eat freshwater crabs. Live. When was the last time you ate a live crab? It’s not the sort of thing I do, and certainly not something I would do every few weeks, yet these people seem to think that this raw crab eating is common.

The best thing you could hope for when following one of these body cleansing schemes is that nothing would happen, while in fact what is far more likely is that you would end up with some major problems. If you did get rid of all the bacteria in your gut, you would be completely defenseless to all the usual dangers that they normally protect you from.

Think of your body as a fortress, and all the bacteria as an army. Like any army, they need food and supplies, and so they consume a small amount of the food you eat. But this is only a small amount, and if they didn′t do it you would be wide open to attack from all the bad bacteria out there that want nothing more then to kill you and eat you.

As a matter of fact, one of the ‘cleansing’ sites I looked at gave a picture of what they said were plaque spots on your colon. It would have been terribly convincing, except that they left on the little tag in the corner of the picture, which identified it as an image of candidiasis. Candidiasis happens to be a potentially deadly disease, which is caused by…. lack of bacteria.

That doesn′t seem very clever. I’d think that someone who claimed to be a doctor would know enough not to make a mistake like that, but I guess they’re not as smart as they think they are. Personally I would not want to take the chance of trusting myself to the hands of someone who can′t even tell one disease from another.

It’s entirely up to you of course, but for myself I would rather stick to good old fashioned dieting then take the chance on some new scheme that probably won′t work, and might even kill me. I know, I know, dieting is hard work. Well, anything truly worth having takes effort, and even if it’s too much work I’d still rather be fat then dead.

The cleansing programs offer a lot of big promises and claims, but they’re all either scams, or ignorance. If you want something that will really work, talk to your doctor or dietician, and stay clear of the crazy new schemes that haven′t a hope of working.
