Cleansing for Beginners
The word cleanse means to remove dirt from, to free from dirt, and to purify.
Years of improper bowel habits, eating habits, and lack of exercise bring on diseases. When we cleanse out the garbage (with parasites and other invaders), we can begin to get energy, vitality and feel and look younger.
Two main factors affect our health are TOXICITY and DEFICIENCY. Toxic overload includes pollutants and parasites. Nutritional deficiencies are the nutrients your body is lacking.
The colon is really the body’s sewage system. If the sewer backs up, toxins become trapped, and are reabsorbed into the blood stream.
Hulda Clark 30-Day Herbal Parasite Cleanse Recipe
As with all parasite cleansing, if one person in the house is on a parasite cleanse, it makes sense that the rest of the household do it also. This is true especially with a couple who share the same bed.
This herbal parasite cleanse is easy and fairly inexpensive, and we have done it a few times.
We were able to find the herbs and put them in capsules ourselves. We bought fresh cloves in the bulk section of the grocery store, ground them in our coffee grinder and put the powder in capsules. We bought dry wormwood tea at the health food store, and put this in capsules. We ordered a bottle of black walnut tincture in a bottle. This was before the health food stores carried parasite cleanses.
After this information was written, Dr. Clark later recommended using freeze-dried black walnut in capsule form. We now recommend that instead, unless black walnut trees grow near you, and you are able to harvest them fresh and make your own tincture.

Fiber Check List
Diets higher in fiber are being linked with all kinds of health benefits, one of which might be the prevention of bowel or colon cancer. You might think that you’re getting enough dietary fiber each day, but chances are that you’re not. There’s more to getting your fair share of dietary fiber than a bowl of bran flakes each morning.
HOW MUCH FIBER?
Adults should aim for about 30 grams of fiber each day, about double what the average Canadian gets right now. Some days you get a little more, other days a little less. On average, it should work out about right. Use the fiber lists below to see if you’re roughing up your diet enough. Keep in mind these are approximate amounts of fiber that may change as more is learned about the fiber content of foods. Get a variety of fiber from grain foods like breads and cereals, plus fruits, vegetables and legumes.

How to Detoxify Your Home
You may not even realize it, but a silent killer could be right inside your home, under the kitchen sink, in the broom closet, in the bathroom and in our bedrooms.
The chemicals in the household products we buy in the grocery stores and pharmacies can actually slowly erode our immune system until our health is destroyed.
We must get serious about removing ALL harmful and toxic substances from our homes if we want to become healthy. You must clean up the poisons beginning right now. For more information on removing toxicity from your home, go HERE.
Here is a list of the toxins I removed from our home:
Signs & Symptoms of Toxicity
How do you know if your body is toxic? Or, how do you know if you could benefit from Cleansing?
You may not recognize the interesting possible signs and symptoms of toxicity in your body.
Toxicology textbooks list the first symptoms of chronic poisoning as low energy, fatigue, muscle weakness, inability to concentrate and intestinal complaints. These symptoms are virtually identical to those experienced by the chronically ill.– Jeffrey Bland, PhD, The 21-Day Rejuvenation Diet Program, p. 23
Some of the symptoms of toxicity you should look out for are:
