The Short & Skinny of It- Cleanse That Is!

Forgetting, or not knowing in the first place, is what the industrial food chain is all about, for if we could see what lies on the far side of the increasingly high walls of our industrial agriculture, we would surely change the way we eat.

- Michael Pollan in The Omnivore’s Dilemma

Changing what I eat, and ultimately what Harper ends up eating from my milk, is after all the ultimate purpose of doing this Purification Program.  It is not for weight loss; however, I am so glad that weight loss and toning up is a side effect of getting healthy.  Getting healthy is the goal, and site of that must not be lost!

So you want more information on the program?  It is the 21 Purification and Weight Loss Program from Standard Process.  We love SP for many reasons, of which a few are- we trust their product, the company has super high standards (especially when it comes to farming practices, which greatly affects the product you ultimately end up with), they offer wholefood supplements, and their prices are so great for the product you get.  I could go on and on.

The program is sold as a program- a group of supplements- but, we also offer the products individually.  This plays an important role is cases like nursing/pregnant moms (who won’t use the SP Cleanse), or with someone who needs Gymnema because they crave sugar, or when a couple chooses to do the program together (you don’t need 2 sets of products because you can share some products).  I keep getting questions on cost.  Typically the program runs $225 per person through most practitioners.

We are running a special through September that gets you all the cleanse products for $157.  Not only is that a huge savings, but we have also thrown in some additional products to help you cleanse (Gymnema).  If you want more info, let me know.  I have DVDs at the office that explain the program in detail, I can get these to you for free.  I am trying to make it easier and give those w/ curiosity a peak through this blog, but we also have recipe booklets that we have put together.

Again, $157 will change if you are nursing/pregnant and/or doing the cleanse with someone else.  For those who are interested but don’t live in this area, SP does ship product and we can find a practitioner in your area.

The basic scenerio is as follows:  3 weeks because in 21days you can change a habit.  Your tastebuds will change too- along w/ weight, cholesterol, blood pressure (the testimonies are amazing!) and general mood.  You only drink water and some green tea.  Those who aren’t pregnant/nursing eat only veggies and fruits for the first 10 days (twice as many veggies as fruits).  After the first 10 days, you can add in lean (preferably organic) meat and some fish.

Minimal consumption of lentils (great for blood sugar control!) and brown rice are allowed too.  Can the diet be followed w/ out the supplements?  Absolutely!  However, the program is a success with the supplements because they speed up the cleansing and nourishing process.  We put our bodies under so much daily stress, even the healthiest people, that it is vital to cleanse on a regular basis!  Contact me for specific questions.

Happy Cleansing!
