High Potency Probiotic Formula
We have included within the Detox program a high potency Probiotic
formula called Alive. Alive contains 3 strains and 25 billion friendly
bacteria within an enteric coated capsule for maximum effectiveness.
Probiotics have also been clinically proven to support and relieve some
digestive problems as well as playing an important role in improving
overall health. Probiotics may also help boost poor intestinal immunity
and help those suffering from allergies.
Significant Research Has Gone into Developing The Quick Cleanse®
Detox Program! Since
the original Quick Cleanse® Detox Program was first launched in 1998,
over one million Quick Cleanse® Kits have been sold in Australia. Many
of the special cleansing herbs and fibres formulated in the Quick
Cleanse® Detox Program are acclaimed in the writings of herbal
researchers for their ability to help stimulate digestion, hence
contributing to the purifying effects on the body. The special herbs
within the Quick Cleanse® formulas are not only powerful internal
cleansers, but also support and strengthen the digestive system. In a
nutshell, Quick Cleanse® helps to detoxify your body, revitalise your
digestive system and get it back on track.
A Quick Cleanse® Detox May Also Help You Lose Weight! Quick
Cleanse® is not intended to be a weight loss program; however, it is
not unusual to lose some weight while on the program. We have found
that people who are overweight may lose some weight during the program,
while people who are already at a healthy weight for their body size
will not find much of a fluctuation, if any at all. If you are
overweight and adopt healthier eating patterns, exercise daily and take
herbal supplements that speed up waste removal, this will naturally
help you shed some excess weight.
How long should I stay on the Quick Cleanse® Detox Program? For
maximum results we would recommend you follow the Quick Cleanse® Detox
Program for 15 days. However it may be difficult for some people to
find the time for the full 15 days, that’s why we have created the
Quick Cleanse® 7 Day Detox Program. If you decide to do a 7 Day Detox
and are happy with the results, we recommend that you do another 7 days
immediately after completing the program. If this is not possible,
please try and do a full 15 Day Detox within 2 months of completing the
7 Day Program. Remember, detoxification is not just about relieving
constipation or losing weight. It’s about getting your digestive system
in top shape and back on track.
Caffeine Withdrawal Symptoms
Caffeine is found in chocolate, tea, coffee and some soft drinks.
Unfortunately caffeine places an extra load on your liver and adrenal
glands. For this reason, foods and drinks that contain caffeine are not
recommended during the Quick Cleanse® Detox Program. When you stop
taking caffeine your body may experience one or more of the following
withdrawal symptoms – headaches, migraine, nausea, vomiting, low
energy, or a general feeling of being unwell. The amount of caffeine
you consume may not be indicative of the withdrawal symptoms you
experience, so it is strongly recommended you wean yourself off
caffeine before commencing the Quick Cleanse® Detox program. This may
take anywhere from a few days to a week. If you don’t, you may
experience some of the unpleasant symptoms we have listed above.

Are You Sensitive to Herbal Formulas?
If you are generally sensitive to herbal formulas or never have detoxed
before, please start with HALF the recommended dose for the first 2 to
3 days. So instead of having 1 Bowel Clear tablet after breakfast
please have 1/2 a tablet (break in half) and so on. If feeling well,
you can increase to the full dosage on the third day. This is to ease
you into the detox and help prevent and reduce detox symptoms.
Note: Due to tablet size and coating we recommend tablets be taken one at a time, with water.
On Rising:
Drink a glass of warm water (150mls) with a dash of fresh lemon juice
(this kick starts your digestion). Wait 20 minutes and then drink
200mls of fresh vegetable juice, carrot, celery, beetroot etc.
Alternate every other day with fresh fruit juice - Apple, pear, prune,
apricot, watermelon, pineapple, pawpaw etc.
Mix
these juices together or simply have one. Swish the juice in your mouth
to provide needed saliva for proper digestion. If you don’t have time
to prepare fresh juices please use only bottled organic fruit juices
which contain 100% juice and “NO ADDED ANYTHING”.
Please
Note: If you suffer from constipation drink 300mls of 100% prune juice
(bottled) every morning instead of the above juices.
