I have used many of your products - the Full Body Cleanse, the Female Cleanse, and I completed the Respiratory Cleanse last month. I felt great during the cleanse; when I got off of it, I didn't feel that I was eliminating as easily or consistently. I had purchased the Intestinal Cleanser and the Bowel Motion and started taking them together in the evenings, but I missed a few days due to travel. I noticed that I felt horrible during the days that I was taking it (and felt better when I was off of it).....my stomach felt bloated and cramped and I had headaches and low energy. I am wondering if the combination is too strong for me. Do you recommend taking only the Bowel Motion, or are you supposed to take both? Is it possible that I have a digestion problem? I also had purchased the Thyroid herbs. Is it okay to take those at the same time, or should I wait?

You were experiencing healing crisis, which can be unpleasant; but your body doesn't care. It just wants to heal itself. I suggest you take these herbs at night right before you go to bed (which is the best time to do so anyway). Make sure that you are taking the Thyroid formula during the day.

I finished my FBD yesterday. Is it normal to find it hard to eat foods that I used to eat? Things like meat, fish, etc...I don't have that much appetite somehow. Is this normal? I am thinking about doing Female Cleanse in a week or so. My question is how many times do I need to cleanse my body? I understand it is depend on person but I need to find out.

We would recommend to incorporate as many of the raw foods you ate during your cleanse into your diet post-cleanse. Try to find a balance with healthy, nutrient-dense foods. A person can cleanse 3-4 times per year to cleanse their bodies of any impurities acquired due to lifestyle and environmental factors.

How often should one eat cook food? I'm a vegan, I do not consume any meat, seafood, milk what so ever. I eat watercresses like everyday so as cook food. Like white rice with black bean sauce, spinach, and pasta at time's I'll eat some Chinese fried rice, veggie roll, steamed vegetables, any advice?

You can eat cooked food as much as you like. However, try to incorporate as many nutrient-dense raw foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, raw nuts and seeds, into your diet to make sure you are receiving an adequate amount of nutrients.

What can I use for bad gums?

Bad gums denote a need for cleansing the whole body in addition to proper oral hygiene care (brushing with a healthy toothpaste, e.g. Peelu, Nature's Gate, etc.). Think about performing our Full Body Cleanse.

I am toward the end of Full Body Cleanse. I got my period 3 days ago..very strange thing happened. I used to have very heavy period with big blood clots...but I don't have this at all this time!! What is this mean? Does this mean that my blood is cleansing? I am happy...but I need to know what is going on. I have a fibroid. I bought fibroid formula so that I can take them after Full Body Cleanse.

Your menstrual cycle is regulating itself. Now that you are near the end of your cleanse, your body is returning to its normal, optimal state, which includes your menstrual cycle and symptoms.

I've read one of your articles regarding fluoride toothpaste. We should use a natural toothpaste but what can you use to whiten your teeth? Also, after completing the cleanse, is there a recommended way to slowly start eating all foods?

Using Carbon (Activated Charcoal) is a great way to whiten your teeth. Purchase our Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual for healthy recipes and guidelines and suggestions for your post-cleanse.

I have a very irritating rash under my breast and under my armpits. This started about a week ago. I have been using aloe. It appears to be getting worse. This rash is raw in some areas. I have never experienced anything like this before. What can I use?

We suggest you apply our Female Breast Oil and Oxy-Oil to the rash. Perform one of the special baths/soaks utilizing sea salt (found in the Full Body Cleanse Companion). Stop using harmful antiperspirants. Use an all-natural deodorant. You may also want to think about performing the Female Cleanse sometime in the near future.

I started my Full Body Cleanse program yesterday and this morning I stopped into Jamba Juice to get a wheatgrass shot. I also got a pomegranate juice, strawberry, peach and mango drink with a mega green tea boost...I drank maybe about 4 oz of the drink and trashed it. I had the worst headache I've ever experienced in my life! Was it from the sugar in the juice? They claim to be all-natural or was it from the fasting? Would you recommend this establishment for those seeking to get their body clean?

Jamba Juice does have Full Body Cleanse aprroved options. But you have to be careful under which category you order from. Because fruits naturally contain sugar, having too much can cause headaches. Focus on fruits low in sugar and make sure you are eating them during the day.

My friend is a young black man; age 31. He is highly STRESSED OUT on his job and has been experiencing patches of HAIR LOSS all through out his head. He went to see a doctor and is now taking some sort of medicine with steroids in it. I believe you can advise him on a more natural way (DHERBS) to control his STRESS & HAIR LOSS problem.

Consider supplementing with MSM, Hair, Skin, & Nails, Nerves Formula, and/or the Anti-Stress Inhaler. These products should greatly help with the mentioned symptoms your friend is experiencing. The stress is contributing to the hair loss.

My sugar cravings are out of this world. I am not diabetic but have terrible sugar bouts. I have recently bought the sugar control. The bottle says 3 pills a day. Can I take 3 pills several times a day since my sugar cravings are so bad?

You may take your Sugar Control Formula, up to 3 times a day, with each meal!

I've been taking the Full Body Cleanse for almost 2 weeks. In general, I feel much better. My question is if I can eat spirulina and/or Ultimate Meal (mainly is Quinoa, millet, brown rice, yellow pea protein, spirulina and another natural ingredients) as breakfast or lunch. Thank you! Your customer service rep told me after Full Body Cleanse it is good to take cholesterol formula. Is it enough or do I need to take lose weight tabs after the Full Body Cleanse? I am taking care of my diet and exercise 3 -4 times a week, 2 hours each with stationary bike or tread mill and exercises with weights.

Spirulina and Ultimate Meal are excellent supplementary products to take in order for your body to receive an adequate amount of protein while on the cleanse. Yes, take Cholesterol Formula (and Intestinal Cleanser) after you complete the cleanse. These products will serve as a transitionary period as your body slowly accustoms to returning back to normal routines.

I am looking for a product to help combat gas and bloating. I am uncomfortable after every meal. Now, my body can not assimilate both SENNA LEAVES and CASCARA SAGRADA together - much too strong.

We suggest the Intestinal Cleanser, and Activated Charcoal. These products should help normalize your digestive system. Also, choose vegetables that are high in SOLUBLE FIBER, as opposed to many dark, leafy greens that are high in INSOLUBLE FIBER.

My wedding is in 4 weeks, and I am having a lot of problems. (I have had stomach problems for years.) They are worse now. I have severe IBS gastritis, Candida, constipation, bloating, indigestion. I have tried many products that don't work most of the colon cleansers are way too strong and irritate my already irritated intestines/gastritis. Also phylum hurts me too. The Colon & Digestive Tract cayenne pepper, which I think, would put me in the hospital. Any suggestions? I take a strong probiotic already. My wedding is in 4 weeks, please help me! Thanks!

We highly recommend the 20-day Full Body Cleanse. You can do this regimen before your wedding and potentially experience more normalized and regulated bodily functions. Once you finish the Full Body Cleanse, you also want to perform the Candida Cleanse to help your body eliminate the overgrowth of candida while restoring balance and pH levels in the body.

Have you heard that drinking beet juice with a table or teaspoon of black strap molasses gets rid of fibroids? Beet juice purifies the blood. But, does this have to be done everyday?

Beet juice is a great blood purifier and excellent for supplementary use. But in order to fully eliminate fibroids, you should consider performing the Uterus Cleanse, as it naturally works to strengthen and purify the female reproductive system while helping with the reduction of fibroids.
