WHAT IS THE CLEANSING AND FAT BURNING SYSTEM OF ISAGENIX ALL ABOUT?

Are you ready to really start enjoying your life once again? Are you ready to discover the connection between what you eat and drink and how you feel and look? Are you ready to unlock your full potential? Have you, like most people, become a victim of what you have been eating, without realizing the power of natural, alkaline foods? Are you fat and don’t like it? Are you ready for ISAGENIX, a new, unique and exciting cleansing technology that incorporates a philosophy of what cleansing is all about?

Most people have become obsessed with food, never realizing that the body is like a beautiful orchestra out of tune as a result of improper eating and lifestyle habits that have contributed to a whole-body system that is constipated and affixiated with yeast, parasites, chemicals and toxins.

I have experienced out of pure necessity, first hand the transition from a state of ill health to the euphoric state of good health through diet, a diet of simply eating the healthy, cleansing foods that we should have been eating all along.

Your body has naturally shed the excess pounds and healed itself many times over and has effectively handled more illnesses and health challenges than any drug. Your body, over time, is continually adjusting, recovering and healing from some form of illness and/or injury. The body is continually adapting to its ever-changing environment and lifestyle eating habits. In fact, the body is a healer and is masterful at healing itself on its own when provided the right cleansing and restorative foods at the right time.

Your body constantly develops acute and sometimes chronic health problems. Considering the state of our environment and the “stuff” we breathe, put on our skin, eat and drink, obesity and insidious illness comes as no surprise. It is absolutely amazing that people stay as healthy as they do considering what they do to themselves and what they put into their bodies as nutrition.

It is equally amazing just how often they completely recover from all kinds of sickness.

We are what we absorb from what we eat, drink, breathe and yes indeed, from what we put on our skin and our hair. For this reason the body often gets sick. But considering the body is such a master at healing itself, wouldn't it make sense for us to help it by putting into it the most natural nutritious, cleansing, rejuvenating and restorative foods we can find. Wouldn’t it make sense to avoid processed foods, cooked foods, preservative chemicals, saturated fats and toxins as much as possible? Wouldn’t it make sense to keep the body clean from the inside out? Remember a healthy body craves healthy foods and an unhealthy body craves unhealthy foods.

Internal cleansing and restoring health and balance is what ISAGENIX all about. ISAGENIX focuses on helping the body rebalance and recalibrate its ability to attain good health, vitality and subsequent longevity, rather than circumventing them with convenient chemicals, fast foods and drugs. When we get sick we have two choices. We can choose to help the body recover eliminating or controlling the symptoms (keeping the sickness) or we can help the body overcome the sickness, so the sickness itself and symptoms go away. Restoring healthy balance is different than just treating symptoms, which is what most doctors have been trained to do and indeed do!

When we address the symptoms of disease the treatment might be pretty easy and convenient with a drug here and there and the symptoms might go away, for a time but the symptoms will often reappear because the illness will still be there. In fact things might even get worse, we can suffer side effects from the medicines and our overall condition might get worse. Similarly, it may be a little inconvenient when we focus on maintaining good health or even restoring health. Our symptoms might even get a little worse in the beginning but once health is restored our symptoms are generally gone and in most cases don't come back as long as we do the right things and eat as natural and as sensibly as we can. We can even receive wonderful ancillary benefits as our overall health can get better and better and we can lose weight so fast you won’t believe your eyes. ISAGENIX is a journey and an adventure. As a member of ISAGENIX you will become nourished with wonderful knowledge of what you can do starting today to become cleaner, healthier and stronger.

Drugs and medicines afford short-term benefits and long term inconvenience, whereas eating healthy, cleansing and restorative foods afford short-term inconvenience and long-term healthy benefits. If your health were important to you, which would you rather have? Let ISAGENIX and its wonderful cleansing and fat burning system help you decide.

If you have a splinter in your little finger it will cause you a lot of pain and discomfort, especially if you touch the splinter. Each time you touch it you drive it deeper into the flesh and it becomes more painful. You conveniently take a pill for the pain. The pain pill serves its purpose and certainly did not make the painful experience any worse. Look what happened when the pill wore off and lost its effectiveness! You still have the splinter in your little finger, the pain escalated and now you have a pussy, bacterial infection.

Well! Now you have become a little smarter, you get a pair of tweezers, some alcohol and a needle and pull it out. You wash your finger in hydrogen peroxide or alcohol; apply a band-aid strip on it and the uncomfortable experience is now over for good.

It was certainly an interesting experience as you dug that little splinter out wasn’t it. Every time you hit the splinter with the needle you felt the pain escalate to almost unbearable. The reason your splinter pain got worse is because you were getting at the root cause of the pain, the splinter. But you eventually got rid of it and now it is gone forever.

When physicians don't confront the actual cause of the illness and just address the symptoms with drugs and medicines they have very little chance of correcting or eliminating the problem or finding the cause.

However, in cleansing and restorative medicine, where nutritious food is the key, where cleansing, alkaline foods touches the problem a person is experiencing; it can and does sometimes temporarily worsen the symptoms. Since raw, alkaline, cleansing foods represent whole foods in their natural state, the symptoms of illness can and do improve and disappear completely. Sometimes the symptoms can get a little worse before they get better. But this is in more severe cases (The healing crisis or detoxification).

The human body is very complex and enduring. When the body is in a healthy state it tends to stay healthy, and can resist and overcome much. When the body isn't healthy, it can get worse and will take some outside remedy to get it healthy again. For some good health may never be available again due to many years of neglect and abuse. Many people do recover however and once the body actually does recover, it tends to stay healthy as long as you always eat correctly.

A poor diet, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, excess stress, obesity as well as chemicals and toxins make a healthy body sick. It often takes time, effort, energy, and money to bring a sick person back to good health.

Imagine overhauling and restoring the engine in your car and the cost being $2,000- $5,000. What do you thing about that? Without your car you can’t get anywhere can you?

How much more valuable to you is restored health compared to your restored car? Yes indeed a revitalized car can bring joy and happiness but imagine what restored health can bring to you. With good health one can receive more joy and contentment out of a typical workday than a sick one can get out of a one week cruise in the Bahamas.

Surprising as it may be, most people can revitalize their lives for far less than it costs to overhaul an engine in their car. Can you imagine not cleansing the internal components of your car’s engine for say 30 or 40 years? I don’t think you would go very far would you? Can you imagine what is happening inside you when you don’t rest and cleanse your system for 6 months? Many of you haven’t cleansed for 70 years.

Your ISAGENIX website contains health tips that will enrich your lives with good health, vim, vigor and vitality. ISAGENIX actually shows you the way as they teach you how to do the things that keep you clean, lean and healthy. ISAGENIX educates and provides you with knowledge and wisdom that when applied to your everyday lives provide you with the opportunity to live vibrantly and to age gracefully. It is the little things that make a big difference.

Can you imagine cleansing and restoring all body functions and systems with protein, minerals, vitamins, plants and herbs? Most people seem to feel that since plants and herbs aren't regulated like drugs and don't require a prescription that they can't make much of a difference if we get ill. That's an absolute misconception.

The regulation of drug like substances actually began in the 1920's because of the problem with the safety and efficacy of man-made medicines, not herbs and plants. Man-made medicines were often “snake oil” and did not work, yet desperate people purchased them by the millions, they often contained addictive or harmful substances that were worse than the illness. Many people died from drug-induced catastrophes. The FDA drug regulation approval process and the requirement of a doctor's prescription came about to protect the public from potentially dangerous man-made drugs and unscrupulous drug companies whose only objective was windfall profits. The FDA was never established as a result of people dying from plants and herbs.

The Federal regulation of drugs by the Food and Drug Administration was never meant to prove that herbs and plants don't work and that drugs do, but to assure the safety and efficacy of drugs for the public at large. For centuries it was already known and accepted that herbs and plants were safe and effective. For thousands of years man healed himself and received exhilarating energy from his foods. For thousands of years he never knew what an MD or a drug was. He never knew what a preservative or a fertilizer was, He had never heard of genetic modification or irradiation. The only food he ate is what he harvested from the forests on a daily basis. He never new what a refrigerator was. He never knew what cancer, heart disease, asthma, arthritis, and diabetes were. Plants that are already present in the food supply and have been there for thousands of years are not regulated like drugs because they are foods, foods that have the ability to cleanse and keep you healthy naturally.

Have you ever wondered why companies are so anxious to introduce man-made drugs? Well, since they are not found naturally in nature they are patentable. A patent gives drug company exclusive rights to market a drug, and an opportunity to make literally billions of dollars. Whenever man plays around with nature and does unnatural things to our foods, catastrophe inevitably follows. Tampering with nature and her natural foods to extract synthesized drugs can be very dangerous and life threatening and has been as history documents. Most of the FDA laws in force today governing drugs came about as a result of monumental drug disasters.

The 1938 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act were accelerated through congress and into law after an overwhelming public outcry when a Tennessee drug manufacturer introduced into market a new pediatric antibiotic. This was OK until it was discovered the company used a solvent similar to antifreeze that caused the death of many children.

Yes indeed plants and herbs and the little things that we can do can have therapeutic effects on the body. Plants, herbs, body brushing, bouncing, saunas and deep breathing have been used for centuries, and were the medicines doctors and pharmacists used before the drugs we know today came along. Many prescription drugs that we buy today originate from the plants and herbs we eat every day.

Interestingly, doctors in other countries all over the world that are experienced with plants are shocked at American ignorance. They actually cannot understand why Americans will compromise the health of their people for windfall profit by taking a non toxic plant that has been very beneficial and effective and then synthetically alters it’s molecular structure by unnaturally isolating it’s active ingredients and discarding the hundreds of others as if they were worthless. These other discarded compounds in the plants are very important, perhaps more so because the isolated ingredient often has less effects and causes greater side effects than the complete herb itself.

Americans do this all the time because one single, isolated ingredient or plant alkaloid from a plant can be patented affording a company billions of dollars in income whereas, the whole natural plant cannot.

Man made isolated ingredients from a plant might be effective at treating a specific symptom of a particular illness but may not be enough to eliminate an underlying cause. Treating symptoms in America is a trillion dollar business. The drug industry is perhaps the largest single industry in the world today. Interestingly enough disease in America today is epidemic as over 7,000 people a day die from disease.

The American way is predictable. They want results and they want results now! They want their myriad of illness to be gone the minute they walk out of the doctor’s office.  Many times the pain and the symptoms of illness are so bad that just having them go away for a few hours would be a wonderful relief and worth the price of the doctor’s visit.

Admittedly symptoms of illness can be suppressed with a drug and then return when the treatment is ceased, it can confirm that there really is something wrong and that the only thing that stands between them and awful symptoms is the drug. They may actually become dependent on drugs sometimes for life.

On the other hand, when the symptoms get better with natural medicines from plants and herbs and remain improved after the treatment is stopped, patients can sometimes conclude, "Well, maybe I didn't really have what I thought I had," or, "It was just a little thing."  The doctors might conclude, "Well, there was not a major problem in the first place."

It's gotten to the point now that drug companies as well as many doctors and patients don't consider any illness a real illness unless the symptoms are treated for life.

But how valuable is the treatment that actually cleanses the system, balances health, and restores health to normal so that the symptoms of ill health are gone for good.

By focusing on treating symptoms for life, modern medicine is missing the boat and contributing to ill health without even knowing it, due to the side effects of potentially harmful drugs.  Conversely by focusing on whole plants as foods as well as healing, cleansing herbs and minerals one can safely restore health.  Cleansing the body using high alkaline and natural plant foods, loaded with phytochemicals and organic minerals, yes, may initially work slower to relieve the symptoms of ill health but the suppression of the cause is often the end result as whole body vitality returns.

It is a fact that many active, chemicals within plants work synergistically to help cleanse restore body functions and establish good health inertia. Good health accelerates with good, cleansing nutrition and degrades when the nutrition is not so good. Various herbs and plants on the market today are unfortunately marketed as isolated herbs, or plants and is often not enough to restore good health and vitality. Restoring good health requires a combination of cleansing plants and herbs taken in different quantities at the same time or at different times. For example vegetables are mostly alkaline and absorption varies from person to person, however when sliced ginger is eaten at the same time more effective assimilation can be expected. Ginger accelerates the absorption of all foods, proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

It is fascinating how different organ systems (circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system, elimination system) do what they do so effectively, and how different natural cleansing foods and herbs can promote healthy organ systems. All bio-functions of the body, although unique as fingerprints, are organized by specific systems, and the plant foods that benefit these systems of the body also seem to be organized by phyto-chemicals, bioflavonoids, nutritives and enzyme delivery systems

For example, there are cleansing, alkaline plant and herbal combinations that can correct and balance both low blood pressure and high blood pressure. Another plant, such as Aloe Vera can help digestive system problems. Other herbs and minerals can help with liver and kidney conditions as well as more serious illnesses. In addition, some herbs can help several organ systems simultaneously.

Unlike drugs that focus on a single symptom (anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrhea, antibiotic, etc.), plants help restore the health of specific organs and/or organ systems.

There are various qualities or grades of foods there are also various grades of plants and herbs. Lower grade commercially grown plants and herbs can cost 70% less than higher-grade plants and herbs. It is unfortunate that many companies use lower grade plants and herbs to make more money, even though the plants and herbs are nutritive deficient. Remember there is no substitute for organic. It is unfortunate that many companies use heated and over-processed herbs and then fortify back with the "active ingredient" from synthesized sources. This degrades much of the restorative effects of the plants.

Today our society seems much more oriented toward addressing and treating symptoms rather than restoring health with natural cleansing foods, many people use nutrition supplements the same way they might use a pain medicine. They might take it once or twice, or for a day or two, and if they don't notice a big immediate difference they'll quit it. Some people simply play roulette with dietary supplements. They may walk into a health food store feeling badly and try anything that looks new and interesting. If it doesn't immediately help them very much they go to another supplement that has an interesting propaganda statement. Cleansing, restorative nutrition is just like almost everything else in life, the best chance of beneficial rewards come from the right, alkaline plants, used in the right way for a long enough period of time.

Book Reviews by Richard Smith

The Phaselock Code by Roger Hart

Roger Hart was a professor at Oregon State University and a member of the first American expedition to Mount Everest. He worked as an exploration geophysicist in Ecuador and Brazil and had a glacier named after him in Antarctica. He has written articles for National Geographic, Audobon, Sunset, and Oregon Coast Magazine.

Upon his retirement from the academic life he has created a remarkable autobiographic examination of consciousness as a result of his near death experience on Everest. He explores inner geography with a skilled analytical mind, blending the psychic world with the scientific in a book that reads like an adventure novel. He explains quantum physics easily for the lay reader, and gives us a picture of how consciousness creates our world.

He predicts a glorious future beyond struggle, war, and animosity by the discovery of how to break the phaselock code through the understanding of how to personally use quantum physics.

This book is a guidebook toward a vision that is not only possible, but probable.

This is an excellent guide book as is "The Four Agreements".
