What is
the NutriClear Drink?
It is designed to support the nutritional needs of a wide spectrum of patients - even those who are sensitive to certain foods or chemicals. It has been formulated with the highest quality ingredients and is compatible with vegetarian foods.
It is often used as meal
replacements in cleansing or "metabolic clearing" programs.
Metabolic clearing refers to the processes responsible for
eliminating toxic substances that have built up in
the body. Most people encounter toxic agents in their work or
home environment, due to pollutants in air, water and beverages, and,
of course, foods. Drugs and alcohol also contribute to the toxic
burden, as do potentially harmful materials generated by intestinal bacteria. Removing
accumulated toxic materials enables the body to
recover from imbalances, and therefore enables it to work
more efficiently. The NutriClear Drink is designed for those patients
for whom soy is beneficial, or, who have a preference
to soy over rice. A rice version is also available.
How can the
NutriClear Drink help to balance the body's chemistry?
Specific nutrients can help improve
your nutritional status in a variety of ways:
Help to convert fat and carbohydrate to energy, while maintaining muscle tissue.
Some
nutrients, such as amino acids, function as building blocks, others
are enzyme helpers (cofactors that function as metabolic "spark
plugs"), and others function as fuels to run the body's machinery.
When these are limited by inadequate diet or problems with digestion
or absorption, nutritional imbalances and reduced ability to repair
"wear-and-tear" can occur. The NutriClear
Drink provides a full range of nutrients that support the
processing and disposal of waste materials and other potentially
harmful materials. The liver functions as the body's major waste
disposal unit and specific nutrients can help in this role.
Helps protect the body against free radicals and oxidation.
Pollutants such as ozone and nitrogen oxides, cigarette smoke and
other substances, lead to the formation of free radicals -
"pyromaniac molecules" that randomly attack cells and increase the
body's need for substances called antioxidants. Antioxidants serve
to block or inactivate free radicals. Help improve intestinal
health. The intestinal lining is the primary barrier against
foreign materials. When the intestine is compromised, digestion and
nutrient absorption decrease,
and
the intestine may become "leaky," allowing unwanted substances
to enter the bloodstream.
How much weight can I expect to lose on the Bio-Detoxification program?
The NutriClear
Drink and other supplements in the Bio-Detoxification program
are not formulated for weight loss. However, fluid retention or
bloating is a
symptom
of toxicity. As people begin to detoxify, they will lose
retained fluids, which may result in the loss of 2 to 10
pounds. The weight lost is not easily regained, as with most other diets.
What happens if my symptoms worsen during the Bio-Detoxification Program?
If your symptoms get worse, it's due
to the healing crisis. Please read the article on "healing crisis
" carefully. Remember to
drink 3-5 pints of water, not to overexert physically, and to allow
yourself to be "sluggish" while your body is detoxifying. After
you detoxify, you will regain your vitality.
What side effects can I expect?
Individual response to cleansing
programs is highly variable due to personal differences in
biochemical makeup, stress levels, toxin build-up, and medical
histories. Individuals sometimes experience headaches, joint pain,
mood swings, constipation or other side effects. These side effects
are commonly associated with cleansing programs and usually
dissipate within a week to 10 days. Notify your health care provider
if you develop any adverse symptoms, or encounter discomfort while
using this product with your individualized program.
When should I begin to feel
better?
Your medical history, including the use of medications, exposure to toxic materials in the workplace, and your age can affect the rate of improvement. A slower response time might be expected for older patients. Most people begin to feel better within one to two weeks on the cleansing program; others may take a longer time to see an improvement in their symptoms.
Can I mix the NutriClear Drink in juice?
Ideally,
it is best to mix it in bottled spring or purified water, and only
add fresh fruit if necessary. Many people enjoy the additional
flavor fruit can provide, and sometimes people need extra
phytonutrients, which are found in organic blueberries and wild
berries. Therefore, the drink may be blended with these fruits. My
clinical practice shows diluted organic pear juice is the least
likely to cause a reaction while on the Bio-Detoxification
program.
Why
recommend white rice instead of brown rice?
Nutritionally, brown and white rice are very similar. The chief advantage
of brown rice is its high fiber content and B-vitamin levels. However,
it has been found that individuals are less likely to
experience a larger "reaction" to white rice than to brown.
Brown rice contains lecithin, like phytohemagglutinin, a large plant
protein, which can stimulate the sticking together of red
blood cells and the proliferation of lymphocytes associated with
the allergic response. If you don't like standard white rice, try
basmati rice, which is an excellent choice among types of white rice
because of its delicious taste and nutritional profile.
Is it OK to exercise while I am on the Bio-Detoxification program?
Yes, clinical experience has shown
that some individuals experience reduced energy and stamina due to
the body's detoxification process. If you exercise regularly, give
yourself permission to ease up on the time and intensity of your
workout. If you do not exercise regularly, it may be best to wait
until you have finished the detoxification program. However, it is
okay to go for a walk and enjoy nature.
What is the reason for putting me on a restricted or elimination diet during the Bio-Detoxification program?
One of the purposes of the
Bio-detoxification program is to potentially remove all allergenic
foods from your diet, and allow you to choose from a group of
healthy and organic foods to which you are less likely to be
allergic. The foods allowed are based on the scientific literature
available, and do not contain any ingredients that could interfere
with the cleansing process. This helps to put less stress on the
digestive system and support the liver detoxification.
What are the main foods I will be avoiding?
The Bio-Detoxification booklet will take you through the
approach step by step and will also provide you with
breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes.
