Education and Articles

 

 

Our clinical results show a 200-400% increase in total overall cleansing effect when using this whole system as compared to fasting or eating live-foods alone.


The fasting process begins after day two or three when the body goes into autolysis, the process whereby the body is digesting its own dead and dying cells. In the body’s wisdom, it selectively decomposes those cells and tissues that are in excess, diseased, damaged, aged, or dead. This allows for an improved ratio of healthy cells in the body. For detailed information on the benefits and practice of juice fasting please see our article “The Why’s & How’s of Detoxification.”

 

The Cleansing Detoxifying Technologies also help alleviate any cleansing  symptoms you may experience. During the cleansing program, the absence of external toxic stresses allows your body to begin to release toxic build-up within the body. As the body begins to cleanse, toxins are eliminated through the colon, kidneys, lungs and sometimes through the mouth, ears, and skin. Aside from a variety of harmless cleansing experiences such as nausea, weakness, fatigue, fever, and a possible temporary experience of old disease patterns (emerging to leave the system), there can be some heart palpitations and hypotension (more common with water fasting). Cardiac stress on a juice fast is limited and rare. Although most everyone experiences some hypotension on the 4-7 days of a juice fast, juice fasting is an effective way to respond to the problem of hypertension. This spiritual detox juice fasting program is designed to safely support you through any cleansing symptoms you may experience.

Why Detox?

 


Our world is toxic.  Physical toxins accumulate from the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we bathe in and drink, the things we touch, the products we use on our bodies and in our homes, and many more sources.

 


In recent history, humans have managed to drastically change the chemistry of the environment in which we live.  Over 2.5 billion pounds of chemical pollutants are released every year into the environment we eat, breathe, and live in. To compound the problem of our toxic environment, we have refined away much of the nutritional value of our food supply and replaced it with artificial colorings, preservatives, flavorings, chemicals, etc.  Internal pollution occurs when toxins enter the body from the environment or are produced by unhealthy bacteria in the intestine. Internal pollution negatively impacts many aspects of our overall health.


Everyone on the planet is being exposed to endless toxins.  While it is important to do our best to avoid toxicity in our lives, we can’t escape the reality of worldwide pollution.  The best strategy is to practice good health habits to be capable of dealing with environmental stresses.

 


A principal benefit coming to the Tree of Life for a Detoxification Program is a break from your customary social setting and routine.  Here, you can kick-start or renew your health practices, reconnect with nature, and clear temptations that might be part of your day-to-day existence.  At our intimate center, you’ll enjoy the revitalizing energy of clean water, fresh air, bountiful sunshine, and 100% organic juices and live-food gourmet cuisine.  You’ll also be lovingly supported in creating a new routine that includes exercise, meditation, and adequate rest.

 

“Renew yourselves and fast.”

Jesus in The Essene Gospel of Peace

 

 

“Spiritual fasting is the elixir of spiritual nutrition.”

Gabriel Cousens, M.D., M.D. (H)

 

Fasting is also rewarding in spiritual pursuits. It has its history in the spiritual practices of almost all religions, philosophers and teachers. Because fasting accelerates purification of the body, it enhances the movement of all levels of energy.  A common occurrence is for people to find it easier to meditate. In general, as the mind begins to clear of physical and mental toxins and becomes more tranquil, one begins to experience the joy that is our birthright.
