Practice Internal Cleanliness

Health Habit #3 is to keep your internal system clean.

Think about your car’s engine...

Question: Besides using the correct fuel, what is the single most important thing you can do to extend it’s life?

^{Answer: Keep the engine} clean!

Engine cleanliness is paramount to avoid damaging the engine internals. That’s why cars have oil filters, gas filters and air filters and why we change the oil and oil filter frequently.

To avoid trouble with our human engine, we likewise don’t want sludge or contamination inside our our circulatory system, gastrointestinal system or individual cells.

Here’s an important list for keeping internally clean:

1. Avoid the five major internal contaminants
2. Constantly clean heavy metals and pesticides from your body regularly
3. Do daily enzyme and liver maintenance (to help ensure clean digestion)
4. Do an Eight Day Internal Cleanse once or twice each year
5. Drink 16 ounces of water on an empty stomach several times daily.

Avoid harmful foods and substances. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you review and then remove each of these from your life:

• Avoid Sugar - sugar does more damage than all other toxins
• Avoid Harmful Microorganisms - 80% of world’s people are contaminated
• Avoid Heavy Metals - single most damaging toxin
• Avoid Free Radicals - don’t knowingly put these into your body
• Avoid Harmful Chemicals - they’re everywhere, but you can fight back

Remove heavy metals and industrial chemicals from your body (and especially from your mitochondria) by adding a zeolite powder and glutathione booster to your daily regimen. Additional chelators such as selenium (found in our Seven Essentials) and EDTA are also useful.

Do daily enzyme cleansing of your gastrointestinal system and liver with Cleansing Enzymes and Aloe Vera Power. This is like utilizing detergent gasoline and oil in your car engine. It helps keep our gastrointestinal engine clean.

Do the Eight Day Cleanse once or twice per year. The Eight Day Cleanse will do more to clean your internal system in only eight days than a water only fast could do in 40 days. The before and after pictures of the intestines to the left can be seen more clearly by going to the Eight Day Cleanse page. The Eight Day Cleanse cleans the circulatory system and the gastrointestinal system. It breaks down toxic prisons throughout the body. You’ll feel additional energy, just like you would feel more power in your car after an engine tune-up.

Drink 16 ounces of clean, mineralized water - on an empty stomach, several times per day. Water is the universal cleanser. With water we wash not only the outside of our bodies, but the insides too.

Next Habit of Health

Sanitation, or external cleanliness, is the single greatest health advancement that mankind has made in all of recorded history. The importance of sanitation (or external cleanliness) cannot be overstated. Sanitation, put an end to devastating health plagues of past centuries.

In point of fact, the practices of external cleanliness — garbage and sewage removal and the washing of food and hands have saved more lives than all the world’s doctors, medicines, hospitals and medical procedures combined.

Internal Cleanliness will be the next greatest advancement in health.

Cutting-edge health practitioners declare that a clean intestinal tract is the single most important factor for creating one’s overall health. That’s why the Eight Day Cleanse is paramount for ensuring optimum health.

Keeping the two Human Engines Clean

There are two human engines.

1. The first is the gastroinestinal tract.
2. The second is the mitochondria within each cell.

The human grastrointestinal tract (the stomach and small and large intestines) are the first engine of the body. To keep them protected, they should be colonized 80% or more by protective bacteria. Protective bacteria are like oil in a car engine. They protect it from damage. In many people, however, this ratio is reversed with 80% pathogenic organisms. Pathogenic organisms produce a constant supply of health-robbing toxins. They perforate our intestinal linings—leading to autoimmune problems. Protective bacteria, on the other hand, produce vitamins and toxin neutralizing phytonutrients and they directly fight against pathogenic bacteria. The Eight Day Cleanse and Cleansing Enzymes will help you maintain your armies of protective bacteria.

The next engine of your body is really several hundred trillion engines called the mitochondria. They are the power generators of each cell in the body. The major contaminant of the mitochondria are heavy metals and industrial chemicals. Heavy metals must be constantly removed from the mitochondria in order to preserve them (as your mitochondria go, your life goes) as long as possible. The best cleansers for the mitochondria are:

• Chelators of various types
• Glutathione enhancing
• Zeolite
