I have but one desire: that everyone might know true health of body, mind and spirit.

"Based on over twenty-five years of cleansing experience, I am 100% confident we have the only product available today that can produce results like you see on our site.

I completed my first colon cleanse in 1979 after the birth of my fourth child. I was suffering intense pain whenever I ate anything and medical doctors were at a loss for the cause. I chose to look for alternative treatments and discovered the work of Dr. Bernhard Jenson in his book, Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management. I read about his incredible healing experiences from removing old intestinal waste and saw photos of what his patients had removed. I wondered if this could be the cause of my problems.

I followed his recommendations and I ended up spending 18 months regularly colon cleansing and only having raw foods and raw juices. This completely restored my digestive health. During this time I saw results just like his book, and like you see on our site. I have used colon cleansing regularly ever since.

In 1979 cleansing was not mainstream and information was hard to find. Health food stores didn’t have shelves of detox products, their were no late night infomercials and no internet search results for colon cleanse.

In the last 30 years I have experimented with many ways to cleanse and in 2001 I created the Colon Cleansing Kit™. This program brings together, what I have found are the three most important keys to effectively removing old waste in a simple to use 9-day program. These are:


The Importance of Psyllium Husks
I have found Pysllium husk to be the most effective fiber for removing old waste. That said, Psyllium comes in different grades from seeds only to husks only and a mixture of both. Husks are the outer shells of the Psyllium seed. The higher the concentration of husks, the stronger the "pulling power". Not surprisingly, this higher concentration of husks is also the most expensive. I chose the ingredients for our herbal fiber blend based solely on what was most effective, not what cost the least.

Grown without Toxic Pesticides and Fumigation
It doesn’t make much sense to use Psyllium Husks grown with chemical pesticides that leave a toxic residue for you to ingest. Add to that another residue left behind when the Psyllium is routinely fumigated with a toxic gas, after harvest, to kill off any remaining bugs. We use only certified organically grown Psyllium and place them in a carbon dioxide chamber after harvest thus eliminating any exposure to toxic chemicals. After all, why would you take in more chemical toxins, while trying to cleanse your body of them?

Preventing Cramping from Herbal Stimulants
I have suffered from constipation for almost my whole life and as an herbalist I have tried many herbs and combinations of herbs to stimulate my bowels. I have found many herbs that work as strong and effective laxatives, that was the easy part. What has taken me much more time to learn is how the herbs work together in a formula to balance each other. I found that it took not only adding anti-gripping herbs, but also herbs to support the whole digestive process, before I was able to eliminate any unnecessary intestinal cramping. Just because you want a laxative action doesn’t mean it has to be harsh and uncomfortable. Our Digestive Stimulator is gentle, yet effective and the dosage can easily be varied for each individual.

Importance of Fasting
If you’ve been exploring the web in search of a colon cleanse it’s likely that you’ve noticed many sites with photos very similar to ours. I've bought many of these products and tried them and they're not going to do anything more than stimulate a few extra bowel movements. I can tell you without a liquids-only fast there is simply no way to get the results you are likely looking for. "
