Roots

shutterstock_19566868Roots is the first section and the first step for anyone coming to this work. As the name suggests, Roots provides the essential building blocks. In this section, you will establish a deep knowledge of the key principles of effective cell and tissue cleansing. Much like the root system of a great oak tree, capable of living for hundreds of years, the knowledge in Roots will provide a powerful foundation for your cleansing journey. You will become adept at learning how to integrate these new principles into any lifestyle at any life stage, be armed with insights that will ensure your success and become familiarized with the terms and concepts that will be used frequently in subsequent sections.

Begin with Roots (or return to) Roots if you:
  • Are new to cleansing;
  • Have “fallen off the wagon”;
  • Are looking for a way out of the mainstream living paradigm.

Remember, the deeper your roots are, the more you’ll be able to grow and expand!

  • A Salad in Motion Remains in Motion

    When you launch into a diet high in living foods, you will discover that these foods contain a force that creates motion. Non-living foods (cooked proteins, cooked starches, nuts, etc.) do not have this effect on the body. Given the physical laws of motion, if you eat foods with no life force, your intestines will ...

  • A Nation of Addicts

    Why is just about everyone you or I know taking a pill or some other substance to suppress emotional pain? Why is everyone numbing themselves, and why is it accepted as normal?

  • All That Glitters

    There are several television shows that call me periodically to speak on “newsworthy” topics.

  • The True Measure of Health Food: Deep Tissue Cleansing

    For those of you who are still confused about what actually constitutes a “health food,” let me clear the air: if a substance contributes to the removal of the accumulated waste in the body, either by awakening it or by helping it move through the eliminative channels—in a process called Deep Tissue Cleansing—it has a ...

    It’s time for another housekeeping blog. Here are just a few things I’d like to mention: 1. My rates for private consultations have increased.

  • Just Say No to Laxatives!

    Hello Angels! I have received so many emails from you who, in your keenness to cleanse your intestines (which is great), are getting suckered into buying one of the myriad “cleansing” products on the market today (not so great).

  • Over-consumption + Under-elimination x Time = Accumulation

    What is the real culprit behind aging, weight problems, and illness? Accumulation. Namely, the accumulation of substances, mostly from the foods we ingest.

Time alone does not age the body. ...
