When Do You Need Internal Cleansing?
If this is the first time you've been exposed to this life-changing information, you've probably never considered this simple question: Are you clean inside? Of course you take care of the outside: You shower, brush your teeth and wash your hair on a regular basis, but do you clean yourself inside? In this modern, toxic world it's becoming a simple fact of life that our colon (the ‘sewer system' of the body), liver and other organs also require regular cleaning. Just like a car requires an oil change periodically.

How do you know when it's time to free your body of accumulated toxins, parasites and other waste materials?

If you experience one or more of the following, then it's time to detoxify:

Frequent fatigue and low energy        Flatulence, gas & bloating       Excess weight
Food allergies                                     Impaired digestion                   Irritability, mood swings
Bad breath & foul-smelling stools        Parasites in stool                     Frequent colds
Recurring headaches                          Chronic constipation                Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Protruding belly ("pooch")                   Powerful food cravings             Skin problems, rashes, etc.
Metallic taste in mouth                       Hemorrhoids                             Candida infection

So How Do You Properly Detoxify Your Body?
Now that we know why it is crucial to cleanse and detoxify our body regularly, we have to know how to do it properly.

Here's a quick overview:
- First you cleanse your colon with specific herbs to clean out all the toxic plaque, debris and parasites
- While cleansing the colon, you have to replenish the good bacteria that protects the flora balance,

  which in turn protects you as it is part of your immune system
- Then as a final step, using detoxifying herbs, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, you detox your

  liver, blood, brain, tissues, basically your whole body

You can achieve this through several different methods, but in my experience, the easiest, most effective and safest way is through the use of DrNatura's cleansing and detoxification programs, called Colonix and Toxinout. These have been scientifically formulated to detoxify the whole body using the latest research. The two programs together will give you the most comprehensive, all-natural detoxification system ever created, with a proven track record. There are over 100 natural ingredients in very specific quantities in Colonix and Toxinout that serve one purpose only: The most thorough detoxification of the human body.

The Colonix program is specifically designed to:
- Cleanse the colon of accumulated toxic build-up and prevent the formation of new build-up through the

  use of herbal dietary fiber
- Eliminate harmful parasites, including intestinal worms and their eggs from the colon and other parts

  of the body
- Help restore normal bowel function and promote regularity.

The Toxinout program works synergistically with Colonix to:
- Remove heavy metals, including lead and mercury, as well as other toxins
- Detoxify the liver, kidneys and other organs
- Replenish friendly bacteria with a top-of-the-line probiotic supplement, and
- Recharge the immune system through powerful antioxidant support

                                                        what's in my food?

FATS:
Dietary fat is the fat that is found in food. Fat is one of four substances in food that provide calories. The other three are carbohydrate, protein, and alcohol. There are three types of natural fats found in foods.

These are:      • monounsaturated      • polyunsaturated      • saturated fats.

Most foods contain all three fats in different amounts. The body can use all three types of fat. A type of unnatural fat is trans fat. Trans fat is formed when vegetable oils are processed through a process called hydrogenation or partial hydrogenation. Dietary monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats have very important functions in the body. However, only a moderate amount of these fats are needed for good health. Unsaturated or trans fats can be harmful. A healthy diet should emphasize unsaturated fat and attempt to exclude saturated and trans fats. Fat is the most concentrated source of calories. It provides 9 calories per gram. Carbohydrate and protein provide 4 calories per gram. Alcohol provides 7 calories per gram.

CALORIES:
Atkins supporters would say that you don't need to worry about the calories you eat — as long as they don't come from carbs. Dietitians and other weight-loss experts know the truth: calories in equal calories out. In other words, if you eat more calories than your body uses, they will be stored as fat.
It's true that different energy sources have varying amounts of calories.

Here's the breakdown:
• 1 gram of carbohydrates equals four calories
• 1 gram of protein equals four calories
• 1 gram of fat equals nine calories
• 1 gram of alcohol equals seven calories

Though carbs and protein are only half as caloric as fat, you can't eat them with wild abandon. The best plan is to eat a healthy mix of all three energy sources. Approximately 45-60 percent of calories should come from carbohydrates, 15-20 percent should be protein and the remaining 25 to 35 percent can come from fat (mostly from monounsaturated sources).
One way to keep track of the calories you eat is by keeping a food diary. Most dietitians recommend a food and activity diary as the first step toward getting a handle on how many calories you consume. Try keeping track of what you eat, drink and how you exercise for at least three days, including a weekend day. Be completely honest and write down the cookie you shared with a friend or the leftover PB&J sandwich you finished from your son's plate. You'll be surprised when you start to see the "hidden" sources of calories that you're eating.
