Health Evolver – Alternative Health Information

Ray Mears, an English woodsman and TV presenter, is known for the famous TV series, Wild food. In the episodes, Ray Mears goes to different countries’ tropical forests or deserts. Under different conditions, he tries to use all resources around him to survive. Travelling extensively around the world, Ray Mears have developed a broad and practical knowledge of edible plants and such.

Most of the survival techniques in the TV series ‘Ray Mear’s World of Survival: Extreme Survival’ and ‘Ray Mears Goes Walkabout’ are learned from indigenous peoples. Ray’s travel to Australia gave the viewers an insight on the lifestyle of Aboriginals. The episode showed Ray face to face with the witchetty grub, the biggest maggot to live in the roots of a witchetty bush. Other episodes try to further emphasize the role of food to a hunter or gatherer.

Gatherers or hunters are believed to have an inner connection with their surroundings. The nature, its animal residents and plants are all connected along with the hunter or gatherer. The hunter/gatherer is meant to find his wild food and should be thankful for its blessing.

In the episode ‘Summer Harvest’, Ray Mears showed viewers how our early ancestors preserved their meat and gathered berries. Their diet composes of a healthy balance and they had a very good technique of preserving venison by smoking it.

A similar view is showed in the episode ‘Woodland’ where viewers are given a closer look on how our ancestors gathered as many nuts as possible before the winter fell.

In ‘Wetland’, Ray Mears is accompanied by Professor Gordon Hillman, a plant expert, to France. They inspect marshes and waterways that ancestors used to travel through. Water lilies are shown to be a good source of carbohydrate and stings can be taken out of nettles easily. He also demonstrates how to spear fish in the river efficiently.

What Ray Mears mainly teach viewers is that no matter where a person is, there are resources that can be used in different ways. Despite being stranded or trapped in a forest, anyone can gather berries for food. Other wild food can be found in the form of tree roots, leaves and even fat maggots.

Simple survival skills, Ray Mears proves, are more helpful than survival kits like tents, knives or flashlights. If a person has some knowledge of starting a fire, there will be no need for a flashlight. Sleeping does not have to be done on a comfortable sleeping bag. A clump of leafy plants may provide enough comfort. On the topic of food, people will find it useful to know that green bananas are healthier and has more potassium than yellow ones. They can save energy or restore some during times of fatigue. Roots have more nutrition and contain at least 60% water and will help rehydrate a thirsty person.

There are many ways to acquire the basic human needs; one will only need to consider the items around him/her. No one thing is completely useless and nature is abundant with our basic necessities.

As biotechnology company Monsanto is said to be behind the incidents involving farmer suicide and abuse of illegal workers, 5 million Brazilian farmers take legal action against the US-based international agricultural biotech corporation, suing it for $7.7 billion  (equivalent to 6.2 billion Euros). These farmers claim that Monsanto is collecting high profits from seed harvests that the company unduly claims its own.

The Big Picture

The main reason why 5 million farmers sued Monsanto for $7.7 billion is that the company has reportedly been charging the farmers with ridiculously high royalties. The farmers stated that Monsanto has been collecting high-priced proceeds from “renewal” crops. The crops are considered “renewal” if they were planted using seed from the previous year’s harvest. The practice of renewal seed farming has been around for a long time, but Monsanto’s effort to collect huge amount of royalties from crops planted using genetically modified seeds (GMO) put an end to the practice. The reason is that the company owns rights to the GMO – which not only charges the farmers for the original crops, but the later ones as well.

The farmers’ presiding lawyer, Jane Berwanger, disclosed to the Associate Press:

“Monsanto gets paid when it sells the seeds. The law gives producers the right to multiply the seeds they buy and nowhere in the world is there a requirement to pay (again). Producers are in effect paying a private tax on production.”

Days later, the company was faced with paying back higher charges, after the Brazilian Supreme Court had elevated the case to the national level. The highest court made a declaration that any decision made in the local court shall apply nationally. Because of this, Monsanto’s charges totaled or exceeded $7.7 billion.

Similar cases

The experiences of farmers in third-world countries – who are incapable of standing up to Monsanto – reaffirmed in these findings. Further lawsuits start to take effect as the information continues to appear on Monsanto’s crimes.

Monsanto was involved in the massive farmer suicide that took place in 2008. The Daily Mail covered the incident that was labeled as GM Genocide. In that incident, the use of genetically-modified seeds (GMO) – which Monsanto developed – was responsible for indirectly killing over 17, 683 Indian farmers within a year — about 1 death for every 30 minutes. After the farmers realize that their harvests became unsuccessful as a result of GMO use, they chose to end their lives.

On January 2012, the company reportedly administered illegal slave-like labor system. Its people were forced to work in cornfields for 14 hours per day, and buy their food at very high prices. For this reason, many individuals became aware of how serious Monsanto apparently neglect its people’s welfare. That same month, India joined a conglomerate of other countries in opposition to the corrupt acts of Monsanto after they took legal action against the company for “biopiracy”.

The Argentinean tobacco farmers sued Monsanto for ‘knowingly poisoning’ workers in February of the same year. They claimed that the company has been using herbicides and pesticides, which caused ‘devastating birth defects’. Another group of farmers filed a complaint against the company for widespread genetic contamination.

As Monsanto continuing its dishonest and ruthless plans, more people are demanding action. These proceedings now made the people question its true acts. Will these be Monsanto’s end?

What if the doctors that millions of Americans trust their lives to are misleading their patients into buying more prescription drugs? What millions don’t know is that their family are being trapped inside the dangerous cycle of being drug dependent. What does this entail? Millions of deaths across the states, and the enemies to the nation are earning millions of dollars because of drugs prescribed. This is the case in the US, until an ex-pharmaceutical rep decided to speak out and turn the tables.

Gwen Olsen worked for huge names in the ranks of pharmaceutical companies for more than 15 years as a detail representative, and had called on offices specializing in fields such as psychiatry, cardiology, and endocrinology. After more than a decade of working in the field of pharmaceutics, she felt that she has a moral obligation to the people, and that is to tell the malpractices that she had seen, experienced, and participated in during the time of her employment.

This ex-pharmaceutical rep said that they are being trained to misinform physicians that they go to for sales. Representatives like her are being trained to “skillfully sidestep” questions, particularly the side effects of the drugs that they sell. She also maintains that drug companies are deliberately manipulating the charts they provide hospitals and doctors regarding the use and effects of their drugs, depending on what will sell. By the time that the drug is released for public consumption, people do not even know half of the side effects that these drugs possess. Consequently, these drugs are being sold to patients, and in turn, they lead to further damage to patients.

In various video blogs that the ex-pharmaceutical rep had released to expose various faults and problems in the pharmaceutical industry, she examines the motivation behind the misinformation of pharmaceutical companies to the general public and the institutions of medicine. It is pretty much obvious – certain pharmaceutical companies are not creating drugs to cure people, but are creating drugs to exacerbate the disease. Patients released come with less function, and they keep on doing so, and in turn, companies get more sales.

Gwen Olsen’s efforts to reform the health service in America earned her a 2007 Human Rights Award. She is now a committed mental health activist and is a dedicated advocate of mental and child advocacy. She had released her full story about the malpractices in the field of pharmaceutics in her book, Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher, which reveals that more than 180,000 patients die each year because of the misinformed effects of pharmaceutical drugs.

Now, this calling of a former employee of big companies continue to save lives by educating people regarding the drugs that are prescribed to them. She is also calling out to patients, activists, and reformers to stand out and make a statement to stop the improper and unethical way of selling drugs to medical institutions.

Today, we are still not certain if our families are consuming safe drugs prescribed by our own doctors. However, as long as people like Gwen Olsen are going to emerge and expose the lies, the current image of prescription drugs will be changed.

“No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted.” – Dove commercial

Society has lately been influenced by the changes in culture that, it has reached the point that the real concept of beauty has already been forgotten. They have been often misperceived by beauty’s stereotypical view. One question remains unanswered: When will everyone realize the true meaning of beauty? Now is about time to break the stereotypes and get to the bottom of this.

The Dove commercial “Evolution”, released in 2006, promotes the company’s Campaign for Real Beauty. The said movement supports its mission to make women feel beautiful, through a wide variety of multimedia tools such as short films, advertisements, workshops, events, print media and theatrical production. It aims for societal change and serves as channel for broadening the definition of beauty and uplifting the self-esteem of women worldwide.

“Evolution” is among the television advertisements that Dove developed as part of their campaign, the others being “Daughters”, “Onslaught” and “Amy”. The 60-second TV ad has gained recognition from the time of its release. The TV commercial has appeared in several US mainstream programs, and the video for the advertisement became viral on the internet. “Evolution” has appeared in video sharing websites such as YouTube and Google Video. Due to its popularity, several parodies were also made on the internet. One of the most notable was the “Slob Evolution”, an online parody which was the reverse of its original. In 2007, the advertisement won the Cyber Grand Prix Lion award at the Cannes International Advertising Festival.

About the Video

The “Evolution” TV ad sees a very creative evolution of a model. It opens with a woman — a “pretty but ordinary girl” — who is seen with slight imperfections. She appears in a photography studio, ready for a close-up.

The first thing that was done to her was lighting her with two harsh lights. As the course of action begins, the first few lines of the piano track “Passage D” by The Flashbulb plays in the background.

Next, several stylists and artists do her hair and make-up. The action, which in reality lasted for fifteen minutes, is shown reduced in the clip over a short period of time through time lapse. After that, several shots of her are taken with camera flashes.

The makeover, however, does not stop there. One of her images moves to a digital image editing platform (Photoshop) where much of the further corrections are being done: smoothing her skin, adjusting her eyes, nose and neck, filling her lips and narrowing her face.

The woman, now already seemed almost unrecognizable, ends up posing in a billboard while advertising a fictional product called “Fasel foundation makeup”.

The clip fades to the quote “No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted”. It is followed by an invitation to take part in Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty workshops.

The Cutting Truth

The advertisement is a reminder that even supermodels don’t look like how they seem to be. Talk about airbrushing, adjustments, recoloring, and several feature reassignments. Sadly, it is due to society’s misconception of beauty as influenced by the stereotypical perspective.

It is for that reason that Dove launched its campaign; for women to realize what true beauty means.

Lifehacking is a term coined by Danny O’Brien back in 1994. He is a journalist and was having a presentation in front of certain people when he first mentioned the word. Nowadays, “nerds” use it often. Lifehacking is simply a shortcut into solving daily problems in life using a hackers approach. Hacking is generally a system that can cut through the long, complicated procedures and successfully access any program. Hacking life is taking a short cut to occupying your sovereign life.

O’Brien used this term on some dweebs who have found that some applications can simplify hard tasks. Adapted into real life, hacking life helps people to save more time and more energy by performing simple tasks through a fun or innovative method and makes them feel empowered most importantly.

Because of the computer reference, geeks have also started calling it Lifehacking Operation Alphanumeric. Most life hacks are about managing time really well or developing a person’s self-esteem or social life. There is a website made in honor of this term and what it stands for. Tips and step-by-step guides are available to anyone who wishes to make doing things easier.

Life hack tips and tricks to a better life or work or motivation can range from simple ‘how to keep your schedule’ to ‘how to have a healthier lifestyle’. A good example is a small advice or tip on how to act when faced with a person whose name you can’t remember. The life hack for this situation is to simply ask “What was your name again?” somewhere in the conversation. Naturally, the other person will be somewhat offended, if not hurt, but answer anyway by giving their name.

As soon as the person has said his/her name, quickly follow up (almost as if interrupting) by saying, “No, no… I meant your last name.” It saves face and embarrassment from the truth that you have forgotten. The person will then be relieved that you do still know his/her name. Of course, on hearing that he/she will give you the last name. You will now have an advantage because you know his/her first and last name.

Another very useful life hacking trick that most people can relate to is about money. People normally think a lot about money. Most days at work, people can’t help but think of how much money they want or need at the moment. The life hack tip suggests not to think about the money. It is true that with money, a lot of things are possible, but thinking of it is not encouraging. If anything, it can be depressing. To make things easier to handle and more exciting, think about what you will do with the money. Be it for travel, food or a long day at the spa, what you can do with the money will certainly encourage another day of working.

Other life hacking examples are being able to read 3 times faster in under 30 minutes, writing personalized emails in under an hour and a wider variety of genius shortcuts. Life hack websites provide a kind of seminar or some workshop to help people be able to work faster and smarter. Some tips and tricks into an easier way of living somehow provided people to work happier and earn more.

It takes one scout to kill a colony of thousands. Most of them are dead, while others are dying, lying down on the battlefield powerless and weak.

These sensational scenes from the footage of thirty giant Japanese hornets competing against over 30,000 European honey bees in a deadly battle are indeed horrifying, and if ever man could relate, he would never want that happen to him. The scenario may depict what real life is about – everyone is entitled to battles as extreme as that of the hornets and the honey bees.

Massive Attack

A giant Japanese hornet, whose scientific name is Vespa mandarinia japonica, is five times the size of a European honeybee. The hornets’ size may have given the advantage against the honey bees, but the enemies greatly outnumber them – for instance, 1 hornet against 1,000 honey bees.

Thirty giant hornets, however, are able to annihilate a colony of 30,000 European honey bees in 3 hours. The hornets use their size and heavy natural armor to mercilessly attack the honey bees. Their attack begins by hovering around a beehive to search for honey bees. Then it picks off the bees one by one. The hornets decapitate them and pick off their wings and legs, forming a “meat ball” that is needed by the hornets to feed their offspring.

Some surviving honey bees still manage to slay the enemies, but the hornets continue to attack. The situation is not a battle, but a massacre.

Because the European honey bees did not grow up with the giant hornets, they lack in experience and armor against their enemies. This makes the honey bees defenseless against the hornets. Hence, mass slaughter is highly possible.

The warriors make their final stand, but after an hour, the battlefield is filled with heads of failing honey bees, either dead or dying. The slaughter then ended as fast as it began, and everything went back to silence. After the massive annihilation, the hornets take what they came for: to gather honey, which is especially used to feed their young.

Time for Payback

Because the hornets had already attacked, the honey bees payback. Not the European honey bees, though – the Japanese honey bees will do it for them. These honey bees make their own hive in a honey tree, and just like the Japanese hornets, these honey bees feed their young as well. These honey bees were not as defenseless as their European counterparts. They have prepared their own “secret weapon” against their ruthless intruders – something that they may need often in future clashes.

The honey bees set a trap against the hornet, and they want it inside. The hornet compels, but as the honey bees swing their belly through and fro, they signal the strategy to the hornet. The honey bees then crowd around the hornet.

They don’t sting the hornet, however – they vibrate. Based on a technology called thermo photography, as the honey bees vibrate, they increase the temperature to as high as 170 degrees Fahrenheit (Japanese honey bees tolerate the temperature for as high as 180 degrees Fahrenheit), therefore causing the hornet to overheat and die. The intruder ends up roasted to death.

Functional medicine is an alternative medicine that is concentrated on the primary causes of disease or illness. It makes use of the systems-oriented approach where the healthcare provider and patient become partners in care. It offers new developments in the medical field that takes better care of the people’s needs in terms of health. It has changed the conventional illness-centered application in providing care into improved patient-centered care where it evaluates the person entirely and not limited to apparent symptoms. Professionals in this field of medicine provide ample time with the patients for them to hear their backgrounds and observing the interactivity between factors that are heritable and environmental, including their ways of living. These factors can have significant impact on their existing chronic and complex illness as well as to their health in the long run.

Functional medicine is exceptional.

It is involved with determining the causes, preventive measures, and treatment or management of complex, chronic disease condition. The distinctive features of this approach are the following:

1.)   It is patient-centered.

Patient-centered care indicates promotion of health as an energetic optimism ahead of mere absence of illness. Practitioners listen to what the patient says and gaining insight about his story. The healthcare provider helps the patient discover and adjust treatment modes that attend to the patient’s personal needs.

2.)  It is multidisciplinary and founded on science.

Multidisciplinary and scientific approach of care denotes practitioners focus on biological processes to understand the intricate interactions considering the history, physical status, and lifestyle of the patient that likely result to infirmity. The distinctive genetic structure of every patient is taken into consideration. At the same time, the internal and external aspects that impact the person’s overall functioning are also considered.

3.)   It incorporates best medical processes.

Incorporating best practices in medicine, including conventional western medicine, with alternative medicine generates a concentration on preventive measures. These include dietary routine, nutritional therapy, and physical activity; diagnostic tests, and prescriptions integrated with certain supplements, plant-based medications, dietary methods, detox programs, and stress-management systems.

Functional medicine is a necessity.

Today’s society goes through an immense increase of individuals who have complex chronic conditions like heart ailment, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and mental problems. Most doctors today provide medical care and intervention leaning toward acute care. Detection of illness and treatment process is immediate and demands urgent care, for instance, in cases of appendicitis. Doctors provide explicit recommended treatments like use of medications or surgical procedure to manage the specific presenting symptom or problem. It is unfortunate that the acute care method does not have adequate methodology and tools to prevent and manage complex chronic illness. Most of the time, the genetic structure of the person and other factors like environmental aspects and lifestyle are not considered, when in fact, these factors have unequivocal effects on the increase of chronic illness in today’s society. Also, there is a significant gap between the way physicians conduct their medical practice and research outcomes. Finally, majority of doctors are not sufficiently educated and trained to make assessments of the primary causes of complex chronic illness. Some are also not as skillful in implementing strategies like diet modification, exercise, and nutrition in the management of illnesses.

So, what’s the big deal about high Brix farming? A lot of fuss has been created regarding this technically new way of growing crops, but nothing much is told on how this actually works. What people know is that, when something is high in Brix, it is likely that they are looking at produce that has high sugar content — which is not the case. Products that are high in Brix are quality products, not just in the level of sugar sweetness.

Let’s talk about Brix like how a consumer would understand it. For example, there are two apples on top of the table that look like they are perfectly identical. The apple that has, say, 12 degrees Brix will most probably have the better apple taste, while the one with 3 degrees Brix will more likely just look like an apple. Nothing more, nothing less. When it comes to the belief that sugar is the key ingredient to sweeter-tasting produce, think about the taste of pure orange juice from a freshly-picked fruit, if you may. When you put more sugar in a glass of orange juice, the taste may actually go bad.

So, if consumers are armed with a refractometer (the instrument that measures degrees Brix) whenever they go to groceries, this could change the game in the field of food manufacturing. Now that new farmers are armed with this new organic and biodynamic way of farming and gardening, consumers can now enjoy better produce in the grocery without being cheated into buying nice-looking produce that will probably taste just like air.

In a nutshell, gardening or farming using the high Brix technique focuses on the quality of soil. High Brix method does not employ chemicals. Water-soluble nutrients are the only ones added to the soil for absorption. The nutrients that are used consist of magnesium, calcium, phosphate, potassium, nitrate nitrogen, and ammonia nitrogen. Add these on an acre of land and you have an area ready for high Brix planting.

What else can consumers get from high Brix produce? Apart from the better taste, produce yielded by the amazing high Brix farming has higher nutrient and protein content. They also have better density. With these qualities, we can conclude that products by this cool method of farming are better tasting, more nutritious, and has less nitrate and water content. They also have a lower freezing point, making them easy to store.

Another amazing thing that consumers may want to know is that a crop out of high Brix farming is resilient to fungal infestation, insect damage, and other similar things that Mother Nature can bring forth to a vegetable or a fruit. Contrary to what most people would think about an immaculate fruit or vegetable, high Brix products are yielded in such state without the use of pesticides, herbicides, and so on. In addition, high Brix products do not go bad. They may tend to dehydrate under extreme weather, but they will not rot.

With this method, agriculture can be as cool as rock and roll.

Yoga and meditation are powerful stress busters – but what most modern yogis don’t know is the ancient yogis drank a strong cup of Holy Basil Tea to enhance their practice. The secret is out…Holy basil erupted in popularity in the natural health movement as nature’s stress reliever which is why it can be found in nearly every burn out and adrenal boosting adaptogenic formulation.

In India, the plant use has flourished for millennia so much that it has been elevated to the status of a divine panacea in the disciplines of Yoga and Ayurveda. There it is known as “Tulsi,” which translates from Sanskrit as “beyond comparison” and is said to have a distinctly uplifting spiritual quality. This plant is sacred to Vishnu, the life-preserver and rosaries have been carved from the woody pith for devotional recitation of prayers. It is regularly cultivated within the home since it is believed to protect and sanctify.  Dr. Vasant Lad, the leading authority on Ayurvedic medicine, states that it strengthens the energy field and has the quality of pure lightness and goodness. It increases the flow of vital life force to the third eye and encourages the development of wisdom and mindfulness.

Historically, holy basil has multiple uses most commonly to treat viral infections, fighting colds, sore throat and flu.  It has demonstrated activity against HIV, herpes simplex, adenovirus, RNA viruses coxsackie virus B1, and entero virus71 and hepatitis. Its properties include calming the nerves via regulating cortisol, enhancing mood by normalising levels of neurotransmitters, supporting normal respiratory function, preventing adrenal exhaustion, regulating blood sugar, protecting the heart muscle, sharpening memory, modulating immune function increasing macrophage populations and activity, as well as cytoprotective effects.  While profoundly improving meditation, it is not a sedative and in fact increases your energy reserves and physical stamina, enhancing oxygen utilisation and protein synthesis. Tulsi has been used to combat chronic fatigue, lethargy, and depression. Ayurveda upholds that tulsi strengthens digestive fire a key factor for proper nutrient absorption along with improving appetite. Researchers have also verified that its antioxidant phytochemicals protect the liver from damage via carbon tetrachloride.

Every time after drinking a strong cup of Holy Basil infusion an hour before a yoga class I have been able to enter much deeper into yogic rest while in savasana and in meditation. The relaxation it provides certainly lives up to the reputation inherent in the meaning of its name. One Naturopath I met who was working for St-Francis intimated that she was taking holy basil to remove her sugar cravings. Not only did she say it completely knocked her sugar cravings, she reported as well that with larger doses she noted a feeling of euphoria and tingling all over her crown. After brewing an especially strong cup of the tea, I realised  that this zen-like clarity combined with a tingling sensation on the scalp is a phenomenon that appears to be accessible to all, accompanied by a deep feeling of peace.

Tulsi is a superfood that packs a nutritional punch. It is an excellent source of minerals, including iron, 3.17 mg/100 g of fresh leaves (about 26% of the RDA for iron), potassium, manganese, copper, vitamin A  & K, zeaxanthin, and magnesium along with vitamin P, a good dose of flavonoids.

So what happens the next time you sit down to meditate and you are experiencing stress at home or work so much that you feel you cannot? I invite you one hour before and/or after your yoga class or personal practice to savour a cup of the golden sweet and spicy tisane with hints of heady clove to jump start your meditation.  See the difference it can make to your wellbeing and clarity of thought.

Share your experience with friends and relatives about holy basil and other facts(listed above) thereby helping them in some or the other way in their wellbeing.

The holidays are a hard thing to forget, and the body cannot easily handle all the food and cocktails you have consumed since Thanksgiving through Easter. At this point, detoxification sounds like a tempting idea, especially that Spring is around the corner. However, you don’t have time for exercise, thanks to the busy work or study schedule. Now, what’s the easiest way to shed pounds and achieve a bikini-beautiful tummy?

The good news is, juice cleanse diets are readily available for those who can’t buy the time to go to the gym. Juice cleansing means replacing solid meals with freshly-pressed fruits and vegetables. That means, you drink fresh juice until you achieve your desired results.

Juice cleanse products, such as those by BluePrint Cleanse and Juice Maids, are widely available on the market but compared to juscleanse.com Blueprint is nothing, since juscleanse.com delivers juice fresh, and freshly juiced. With BluePrint, all you have to do is drink their juice for three consecutive days, and you avoid the fattening effects of solid food. The principle is pretty much the same with Juice Maids. The whole point is, these businesses are designed to make one feel good and look awesome while in a bikini.

How much does a juice cleanse run you? Juice cleansing is higher end in price, ranging anywhere between $9 to $200. Consumers adore these refreshing green drinks though, and it is quickly becoming a ubiquitous, not to mention extremely lucrative, business. BluePrint’s attractive vans delivering juice cleanses can be seen everywhere. Organic Avenue already opened 8 branches and counting. The sales are fabulous, especially in the country’s major business centers, with ample room for new players in this market.

But, of course, this seemingly perfect and easy way of detoxifying and trimming weight is not met without some opposition. Medical experts, like Dr. Michael D. Gerson of Columbia University, assume that danger is associated with such cleansing methods. Some blogs assert that this is an expensive method of self-starvation Long Island style, and it is only a matter of time before this haute cleansing diet becomes fashionable. Hey look, even the celebrities are devotees of juice cleansing.

All cleansing diets are met with certain medical and cultural opposition over the years that people have spent trying to fit into smaller waistlines. But, of course, it cannot be easily denied that the benefits are undeniable during a short period of cleansing when one’s concern is getting a pair of skinny jeans to fit. However, if you are planning to a juice cleansing, you must be aware of your medical history first before you subscribe to a seasonal 30-day juice cleanse at juicecleansing.com. Although the 3-day signature juice cleansing is very popular and includes 6 rouge, green juice, and 6 lemon juice cleansing drinks, you must also be aware of how long your body can take a diet without solid food or certain proteins.

Doing a 3-day juice cleanse at juscleanse.com customized juice diet is a fabulous way to get your health back on track. However, it is also best to bear in mind that while it pays to be in good shape, not every detox program is foolproof or best to be followed by everybody. juscleanse.com slogan is don’t think, just drink. In a 3 day cleanse, you get 3 different types of juice to be drunk in order of 1 lemon, 2 rouge 3 green, easy as one two three in a bikini soon!
