Why use this program when there are others out there like the Master Cleanse? I suggest this style of cleansing and detoxing for three big reasons. One, I personally used this one on myself, when I was deathly ill, and it worked beyond my greatest expectations (see my biography). Two, I personally know of at least twenty people who have used this program who were at least as sick as I was and it worked for them. Three, this is probably the oldest cleansing and detoxing program in this country and possibly the world. Personally, I appreciate a long successful track record when it comes to my health.
This program is broken down into three parts without pause. One, cleansing the colon takes at least 7 days. Two, colon detoxing takes 5 days exactly. Three, cleansing either the liver or the kidneys takes 5 days.
PART 1 – Colon Cleanse
Takes Seven days or more if needed. You will find all the herbal combinations in organic/wildcrafted form on this website.
Note: You will not need to alter your daily schedule while you are taking these herbs. They are gentle and they are introduced to your body in micro doses until you get the natural response described below.
WEEK 1
DAY 1:
Start with only one capsule of Colon Cleanse combination during or after supper. This combination works best if taken with food. If you notice a heartburn sensation, eat or drink more to mix this combination with the food in your stomach. While you sleep, the herbs work their way through the colon stimulating peristalsis to soften and move old fecal matter, and kill any parasites.
DAY 2:
This morning you should notice an increase in your bowel action and in the amount of fecal matter that you eliminate. The consistency should also be softer. If you do not notice any difference in your bowel behavior today or the difference was not dramatic, then tonight increase your dosage to two capsules.
Continue to increase your dosage every evening by one capsule until you notice a dramatic difference in the way your bowel works the next day. It has taken most of us years to create a sluggish bowel so be patient for a few days and increase by only one capsule each day.
By the end of the first week, you should know what your dosage is.
If not then continue to remain on this formula for an additional week to get your bowel regulated and healthy before you go on to the next step.
When I say regulated and healthy, I mean you have a bowel movement two to three times a day, which is how often a healthy human being has a bowel movement. Being healthy, the movement is soft like a baby’s and falls apart in the water.
Ingredients of Colon Cleanse: These herbs are designed specifically to increase bowel function, and kill parasites.
Curacao and Cape Aloe leaf (aloe Spicate/ferox), Cenna leaves and pods (Cassia officinalis), Cascara Sagrada aged bark (rhamnus purshiana), Barberry root bark (Barberis Vulgaris), Ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinals), Garlic bulb (alium sativum) and African Bird Pepper (Capsicum africana). All of these herbs are organic or wildcrafted.
PART 2 – Colon Detox
Takes five days. You will find all the herbal combinations in organic/wildcrafted form on this website.
WEEK 2
Important Note:
Before you move on to the Colon Detox, be sure that you have done the Colon Cleanse and that you know how many cleanse capsules you need to maintain healthy regulated bowel movements.
Day 1:
(Continue taking Colon Cleanse capsules this week. Add 1 or 2 more capsules because the detox formula can cause constipation. At the beginning of Part 2, we begin to start the Colon Detox formula. You will take this formula 5 times each day beginning in the morning. The function of these herbs is to remove toxins and old fecal matter from the lining of the bowel. It is hard to believe but some people you probably know, possibly yourself are carrying around pounds of old fecal matter (some have as much as 50 to 70 pounds of fecal matter).
For Detox Powder
Mix 1 heaping teaspoon of the Colon Detox formula powder with either 8 oz of water or fruit juice in a small jar, put the lid on tightly, and shake vigorously. Drink quickly at the times listed below.
For Detox Capsules
If you have the Colon Detox formula capsules take 9 capsules, 5 times daily at times listed below.
1. First AM, one hour before you put anything in your stomach.
2. Do the same one-half hour before lunch.
3. At approximately 3 PM.
4. Approximately one-half hour before dinner.
5. One hour before bedtime.
Ingredients of Colon Detox: (herbs designed specifically to absorb and remove toxic substances)
Organic flax seed (Linum), Apple Fruit Pectin, Pharmaceutical Grade Bentonite Clay, Psyllium seed and husk (Plantago species), Wild Crafted Slippery Elm inner bark (Ulmus fulva), Organic Marshmallow root (Athea offcinalis), Organic Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulagare) and Activated Willow Charcoal (Salix alba)
PART 3 – Kidney and Bladder Cleanse
Takes a minimum of five days. You will find all the herbal combinations in organic/wildcrafted form on this website.
Week 3
Five-Day Kidney, Bladder Cleanse, and Detoxification Program
Important Note:
You must complete the two-week Bowel Cleanse and Detox before you begin this cleanse. Continue taking the Colon Cleanse capsules throughout the kidney cleanse. The food program that goes with this cleanse can cause constipation so adjust the amount of colon cleanse capsules accordingly.

How to Do the Hot and Cold Hydrotherapy Showers
Get the water as hot as you can stand its full body without scalding yourself, remember the setting. Then when you feel you are going to melt, switch the water to completely cold for 40 seconds then go back to hot. Stay there again until you think you are going to melt then back to cold for 40 seconds and so on for 7 full rounds.
Now focus on the afflicted area for 7 full rounds. You will need to purchase a “Shower Wand” for this. Do this 2 times per day. If the person is TOO WEAK to stand, then give the Treatment with them lying in the Tub. Contraindications: Small children, the very elderly, heart disease or moderate to severe hypertensive conditions, extreme weakness, and debility. (Please use your common sense.) This procedure can be rigorous for some people, so if you are inexperienced or if your patient is constitutionally very weak take it easy, use your good judgment consult with your doctor.
