Spring Cleaning: From the Inside Out

Now that we’ve “sprung forward” it’s really beginning to feel like springtime. I love the extra hour of light – thanks again, Ben Franklin.

I’ve been writing here about spring cleaning, specifically about how to clear out the clutter in your home. Today I’m going to write about a different type of spring cleaning: internal cleansing. Spring is the right time to clean your system – people have been doing this for thousands of years with clay, fiber and of course all the fruits and vegetables that naturally appear in the springtime.

An internal cleanse can remove toxins from your body by cleansing your intestines and most important your colon. I know, I know, people don’t usually talk about the colon in polite company. Maybe that’s part of the problem! Our modern-day diet tends to lack the fiber we need for optimal health. Now, I’m not a medical doctor so please do the research yourself, and talk to your doctor before you begin any new regimen.

Recently I started taking bentonite clay (the Sonne #7 formula) every morning. It tastes like dirt, because in a way it is dirt (volcanic ash to be more precise). I’m speaking only for myself here, but I’ve got to say that within a few days I felt like a different person: more energy, a better outlook and a slimmer waistline. Internal cleansing helps your digestive system to work the way it is meant to work: getting rid of what you don’t need, and absorbing toxins along the way. Next, I’m going to start a 10-day cleanse. If feeling great sounds good to you, visit DoctorsTrust.com and use the search term “cleanse.” While you’re at DoctorsTrust.com, check out the prices on vitamins and you’ll switch from your local health food store to ordering online to save lots of money.

If you want to know more about internal cleansing, I recommend these two books: Internal Cleansing: Rid Your Body of Toxins to Naturally and Effectively Fight Heart Disease, Chronic Pain, Fatigue, PMS and Menopause Symptoms, and More by Linda Berry (long title, good information); and Gut Solutions: Natural Solutions for Your Digestive Problems by Brenda Watson (in Amazon’s top 500!).

Happy cleansing!

Until next time,
