One Week Cleanse Schedule:                                   

Using the naturopathic principles of the 'great men' Dr Christopher, Jensen, Anderson and Schulze, supported with homeopathy.

The daily schedule is centred around the core of the arise and shine cleanse as follows:

Cleansing Shake 

Psyllium husk (bulking fibre) and bentonite clay in 12oz of water. A thick drink of 2 great toxin absorbing substances. 

Cleansing Herbs 

3 capsules of a product called CHOMPER which has been designed to soften and loosen material impacted into the walls of the entire digestive system and it also seems to pull toxicity from the entire body through the gut wall. With 3 capsules of a product called HERBAL NUTRITION which is a range of high nutrient herbs which support the general process of intense cleansing - things such as kelp, irish moss, and alfafla. 

Cleansing Juices

The juices are freshly made from non-sweet vegetables such as celery, courgette, cucumber, pak choi, spinach beet, fennel, kale and wheatgrass.  Wheatgrass juice is so powerful that it ALONE has had many testimonials to the recovery of health if you search the internet. These other vegetables provide the alkaline elements which are needed to help the body eliminate stored acids which are implicated in so many diseases. 

Organic Colloidal Minerals

There are 2 doses daily of the maximum strength liquid organic colloidal minerals - a very powerful trace mineral supplement which ALONE has helped many people to visibly detox and recover a greater sense of well-being and health by many, many testimonies in the field of 'body electronics' (which uses nutrient saturation with minerals before sustained acupressure point holding), where it has been used extensively.

The Schedule 

Daily Coffee Enema

If you ever get invited to a naturopathic coffee bar - be warned, it may not be what you think! At some time during the day there will be a coffee enema. This is a well known technique for assisting the liver in its task of cleaning toxins from the blood. Coffee enemas were cited in the Merck Manual for Doctors for liver detoxification until 1972. A powerful detox regime such as this is, by most people's experience, can make a person feel nauseous, headachy, emotional, extremely tired, unable to think straight and a host of other possible symptoms as old debris is shifting from the body. The coffee enema is powerful enough to make it possible to eradicate such symptoms very quickly and carry on with the detox to its maximal effect. The coffee enema is not optional! People have failed to complete such a powerful detox if they have been unwilling to do them.

Alkalised Water 

Today's increasing diet of acid forming foods such as meat, dairy, processed foods, fried foods, carbonated drinks and alcohol, coupled with stress and pollution will produce an accumulative acidic state in the body, known as Acidosis. An acidic environment is sadly ideal for diseases to thrive. Alkaline water with its higher pH can help balance the body's overly acidic state. 

Other Activities

 Morning meditation practice/ Breathing exercises.  Beautiful local walks daily.  Hot and cold showering - to get the circulation going & get the nutrients deeper into the tissues and the wastes and toxins out. 
 Alkalising baths with bicarb of soda.
Gentle Yoga Practice.
Fa infrared sauna  
£40 each for treatments of your choice from our local therapists: Aromatherapy Massage, Reflexology, Homeopathy, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Shiatsu, EFT (emotional freedom technique). Give us a call so that we can book these up for you on 01271 889325

The Results

Almost everyone on such a thorough regime passes quite a bit of dark green to black MUCOID PLAQUE - old rubbery material, shaped like the intestines. This may also be newer material produced during the cleanse, but non the less its expulsion from the body is accompanied by a feeling of relief - and often an emotional release. There is quite often a spontaneous release of other areas of toxicity within the body - people have reported chemical smells in the sweat, breath or stools for instance.

So many times people feel intense emotion arising for a few hours, then pass some mucoid plaque and the emotion dissipates. Generally people would complete the cleanse and feel lighter, cleaner, more energetic, needing less food and less gripped by some of their emotional baggage. They could have had any number of physical symptoms come to the fore and then lessen in intensity. Some people doing the cleanse have made great changes in their lives that have been overdue since there is a letting go on all levels.

Results are likely to be fairly long term, although more work may need to be done to get further and deeper results. For others it is possible to feel other symptoms arising that have previously been suppressed, and although there is a release from the body, and an increase in health to get to such a place, more work needs to be done over time to release these symptoms on a physical and emotional level.  We offer consultations to give you ongoing support after the cleanse, these are available from Katherine for any number of minutes on the phone for £1 a minute.

It is quite common for people to feel all sorts of emotional disturbances after such a cleanse - things that have been buried for years come closer to the surface, and so on going physical and emotional work is always a bonus. Our mentor, Peter Hinde, www.bodyelectronics.co.uk  has  not seen such a cleanse greatly help people with metal toxicity symptoms - giving rise to multiple sensitivities, autoimmune disease and allergies. This would be someone with sensitivity to mercury from dental fillings and vaccines or who knows they have a metal allergy as well as other sensitivities. Although it can be an important release for such people, if metals are the main underlying cause of illness then other work needs to follow up a cleanse such as this.

Who Might Want to Do Such A Cleanse?

People often end up doing cleanse as a  last resort, so when the results come, there is often the feeling they could not have come any other way. One look down the toilet at a pan load of black rubbery mucoid plaque is usually enough for most people to realise why they have been blocked in their attempts to heal.

Who might want to do this sort of cleanse?
Richard Schulze, an infamous herbalist, who has helped thousands of people regain their health notes that it is annoying to have such a huge range of in depth skills as a natural healer only to find that 80% of people find their symptoms gone after doing a thorough bowel cleanse.

Is This the End of All Cleanses?

No. You can carry on doing this sort of cleanse at intervals and still get further results. You can do other types of cleanse targeted to liver, kidneys, metals, or parasites.This route is a fundamental support to all other therapies.

This can be a very rewarding week to share with a friend. We also run mini cleanse days and weekends to intoduce people to the simple cleansing methods, that we use on our more intensive detox weeks. So if you can't spare the time to come for a week then give us a call for availability on our shorter courses where you learn the skills to take away with you to follow your own cleansing programme at home.

Essential Information:

The number of participants varies but the maximum is 6 people.

This retreat takes place in the supportive & homely environment of Cranleigh House, run as a Healing Centre in the 1960’s Cranleigh House is a large comfortable Bed and Breakfast with a ‘healing tradition’. We are not a luxury spa.  Our large kitchen is a happy place.  Everyone helps to prepare and clear away lunch, which is all part of the learning and healing process and allows us to keep our  prices reasonable. It is a good time to connect with the other people in the group and usually leads to some fascinating discussions and information sharing.

Each cleanse retreat is unique to the people who attend. You are likely to be joining a group of like minded individuals sharing similar goals, consideration of other people on the week helps everything to flow smoothly.

TESTIMONIALS from our previous detox retreat weeks:

 ‘It was great to come back a second time. ..Just thinking for future weeks, might be an idea to create a recipe book. We had so many different combinations this week, which were really successful, would be good to record that.’   AD Bristol

 ‘I was fed up with my weight. I’d better not tell you how much money I have spent on diets, therapies & counselling in the last two years.   This is in the end is cheaper’.  UK   Milton Keynes

(Answers from our post detox questionnaire)

Question: Have the process and the results of the detox been what you had hoped for?  ‘Entirely’

Question. Has the accommodation & level of care been to your satisfaction?  ‘Superb’   I will be back!  If you want me.  RD Bristol

‘I was looking for direction & inspiration on a spiritual, mental, emotional & physical level.  All of these I feel have been touched this week.  I am so grateful & joyful to have been part of this process. I have gained a greater & deeper understanding into myself and through the mirroring of my spirit & body I have had profound realisations. Accommodation: Great, comfy.  Food: really good & creative.  MS London

‘The detox is what I wanted (based on my previous experience of a detox). It was more intensive in some ways, which was a little daunting to begin with but I soon became very comfortable with. I think the week ran very well and everyone helped join in with communal things. I was very happy with the accommodation, a very homely atmosphere, I felt at home very quickly, thank you.  EA London

It was a pleasure sharing the company of so many wonderful & caring people, all with a common purpose. All in all, the start of something really beneficial’. GD Sunderland.

My time doing the detox with Katherine, Stewart and Peter has been unexpected in so many ways. The first surprise is that I didn’t get any severe physical reactions, and discovered that detoxing can be an enjoyable process….. The other treatments available have facilitated those of us who wanted, to take the detox to a deeper level, leaving me feeling both physically and spiritually lighter. The overall experience has been a combination of a detox, an education in health and nutrition and a holiday in beautiful Devon countryside. ML London

It has been wonderful to feel my creative urges bubbling up – I have written a long overdue newsletter which will go out on Monday.

The week has fed my soul – with time to meditate, interesting people, and the stunning walks. It has been easy to feel a great sense of peace here.   

AJ Cambridgeshire

This was the best week yet.   Your attention to everyone’s needs never ceases to amaze me.  The company, the good walks, the food compensate for those horrible drinks that one could so easily give up on. AD Bristol
