Cleansing: A Little Help Along The Way

A cleanse undertaken with minor dietary changes and lifestyle habits will have multiple benefits without further embellishment.


If, however, you want to experience more radical change in the outcome, there are some tweaks that can intensify the results of a cleanse.


  • Urine test – maintaining a urine pH between 6.4 and 7.4 allows kidney to safely eliminate circulating acid waste.  It is natural that urine will become more acidic as waste is leaving via the urine, but you can tweak your diet to maintain a more alkaline urine reading.

  • Can’t get a reading in the right range?  AlkaPure pH can be used when needed during your cleanse to maintain a good pH reading and aid with elimination.

  • Dry body brushing – one of the most important pathways of elimination is the lymphatic system.  Dry body brushing can improve lymphatic drainage and increase urinary output of waste.

  • Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme that, when taken on an empty stomach, can scour the body digesting waste deposits throughout the body.

  • Liquid chlorophyll helps control free radical activity and regulates blood sugar to reduce toxic food cravings.  Chlorophyll helps heal the digestive tract and acts as a stool softener to ease bowel function.

  • Fiber binds to excess fats and inhibits the reabsorption of waste.  NutriCleanse is a detox unto itself, but it is a great addition to any cleanse providing multiple forms of fiber and herbal roots that enhance detoxification and elimination.

  • Spirulina and/or chlorella promote the removal of heavy metals,  encourage healthy cell growth, and minimize “die-off” symptoms from candida and other fungus or parasites.
