Cleansing is a natural force that drives impurities from the body. Disease, on the other hand, occurs when the body loses its ability to cleanse itself and gives up the struggle to remain pure. – Donna Gates
In an attempt to maintain integrity, the body organizes a cleansing response, forcing toxins out in some form such as fever, cold, flu, rash, acne or other “illness.” If this attempt is stopped by a drug (antibiotics, cold medicines) the toxins are driven deeper into the body. With each attempt at cleansing by the body that a drug suppresses, the major organs slowly give up the fight, resulting in eventual disease. This is very apparent with victims of cancer, chronic fatigue, candidiasis, most auto-immune conditions and fibromyalgia.
During the first few days, or even weeks, there is a period of great healing. By offering your body high quality, well combined healthy food that is easy to digest, your body will respond by showing signs of healing – only to you it may look and feel as if you’re getting worse. This is evidence that your body is throwing off accumulated waste and toxins. You may feel very tired. You must remain strict at this time and give your body the maximum opportunity to heal. It’s easy to get discouraged, but once this phase has passed, the result is a stronger, better and more energetic body.
Compare your cleansing to cleansing your living room. At first, furniture is moved around, dust and dirt are flying, rags are laying everywhere, you throw some things away, etc. But when you’re done, the place looks much better than before. You may have sore throats, headaches, flu symptoms, aches, pains, depression, lethargy, fatigue, skin rashes, acne, vaginal or rectal itching, discharge, etc. This is known as the Herxheimer reaction. A colonic or home enema can do wonders for this phase. When the cleansing ends, your body is free and stronger than it has been in years. How long? It is different for every person. Two weeks, two months, two years. You will know when you have inner peace and the great joy of a strong, healthy, vibrant body and mind with enough energy to do anything you want.
Emotional cleansing is also normal, and expected. You may feel weepy, edgy, frustrated or angry. You may lash out against someone you normally wouldn’t. This is part of the elimination of stored up emotional poisons in the body. It is beneficial to release them. Nature is constantly cleansing the earth with hurricanes, storms and floods. How fresh and pure is the air after a spring storm? Take a few moments to yourself, breathe deeply, and appreciate the good things in your life and in this world.
