A Renegade Cowgirl

I learned about ‘cleansing’ about 20 years ago when I had some persistent digestive complaints. In fact, most of my life I was blessed with stomach aches, headaches, and intestinal discomfort. I seemed to have a hard time digesting meat, so maybe becoming a vegetarian might be the answer. The change in diet helped somewhat, but was only a part of the problem. It didn't matter what I was eating, it wasn't digesting very well.

I knew a little about herbs and found supplements at the health food store that I thought would help. I studied the Candida diet and learned about eating digestive enzymes which helps break down your food, and acidophilus, the ‘friendly bacteria’. I cut back on the yeast producing foods. This was great.

I found some good quality Probiotics and enzymes, and was adding wild blue green algae to my fruit smoothies. I was getting  ‘live’ micronutrients; I started feeling better.

I also went through a few cleansings, which was explained to me that my system was dumping toxins. I almost had ‘cold’ like symptoms and was expelling lots of mucous. When I thought about the word ‘detox’, I associated it with drugs and alcohol. I soon learned that there were built up toxins in my system, from foods and drinks, the environment, hormonal and normal metabolic processes that were compromising my digestive tract, liver, gallbladder, and the blood and lymph.

Some people might stop at this point and go back to their doctor, and I know people who did, but I cut my dosage back to go a little slower, but I didn’t stop. I worked through this process in a few days and my digestion went from being sluggish to finally moving again. I noticed that the stomach cramps were gone, the headaches and body aches were gone, I had more energy, and I even lost some weight. In fact, in the first 6 weeks I lost 15 pounds and noticed my stomach had slimmed down. Even as a slim person, I still had a gut!

Wow! This was fantastic! I know so many people with digestive problems and they should know about an Internal Cleansing Program.

I needed to learn more about these products and have a better understanding how the body works so I could share this information with others.

Once you have done some internal cleansing, you will notice it's much easier to maintain on a daily basis! It's kind of like changing the oil in your car.  It really makes sense when you think about it.
