Next Detox: 1 WEEK EQUINOX DETOX STARTING 21st MARCH 2010

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

Peter has had experience of helping people through this regime since 2000 and prior to that, experience of seeing people for nutritional therapy since 1994. He has run detox weeks such as these for groups of people since 2006.

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

The Shake 

Psyllium husk (bulking fibre) and bentonite clay in 12oz of water. A thick drink of 2 great toxin absorbing substances. We might add say charcoal to this in certain circumstances as another powerful absorber of toxins. 

The 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. 

The Juices

The 12oz 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. 

The Minerals

There are 2 doses of 2oz 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 generally where it has been used extensively and by my experience as a therapist working with many people.

The Schedule 

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, going to 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.

Other Activities

As if this were not a full enough routine, it is a good idea for participants to get out and exercise, do hot and cold showering - to get the circulation going - get the nutrients deeper into the tissues and the wastes and toxins out. Breathwork, pointholding, emotionally based hydrotherapy (ice rubbing) can be done where time and energy permits, to assist in letting go of deeper emotional issues which are often more accessible during and after such a cleansing process.

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.

It is quite common for people to feel all sorts of emotional disturbances after such a detox - things that have been buried for years come closer to the surface, and so on going physical and emotional work is always a bonus. In personal experience I have not seen such a detox greatly help people with metal toxicity symptoms - giving rise to multiple sensitivities, autoimmune disease and allergies. Here I am talking about someone with sensitivity to mercury from dental fillings and vaccines or 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 detox such as this.

Who Might Want to Do Such A Detox?

People usually end up seeing me as a last resort, so I know 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 not got anywhere in their attempts to heal.

Who might want to do this sort of detox?
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 Detoxes?

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