Are you constantly tired? Are you plagued with weight gain, bloating or constipation? Do you suffer from skin irritations, insomnia, poor memory, or hair loss? If you're plain sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, you're not alone!

Everything is interconnected. Whatever affects your outer world will have an impact on your inner world, too. So in an environment straining under the weight of the many thousands of chemicals polluting our air, water, and soil – and still more used to process the very foods we eat – is it any wonder that most of us feel sick and tired much of the time?

Many of us – after years of struggling to feel well and grasping to achieve good health – have come to believe that our ailments are simply part of the normal aging process. Nothing could be further from the truth. The problem is, our bodies have become polluted by the same toxins that are ravishing the environment.

There is much to learn, and many things we can do to combat toxic overload, and support the detoxifying work our bodies must perform each day.

For a healthy and happy rest of your life, it is important to become aware of the energy it takes your body to do its own dirty work...the exhausting task of normal, daily detoxification.

What can you do to assist in your body's struggle to rid itself of impurities and maintain wellness...for today, and well into the future?

One of its primary functions, detoxification is the most energy-consuming metabolic process our bodies must perform in order to feel well and thrive. We are each equipped with a unique septic system – the gastrointestinal system (GI) – where toxic matter travels to be eliminated.

Unfortunately, when the GI tract – which houses your colon – gets overloaded with toxins, it becomes sluggish and toxic, and waste is absorbed back into your body rather than being expelled.

Slow Transit Time...Bad News. If you are slow to transit (the rate at which your body eliminates waste), then waste byproducts – including additives, preservatives, and pesticides – stay in your colon longer than they ought to.

Your major organs all have blood traveling through them. When your colon is filled with toxins, so is your blood; the dirtier your blood is, the harder these organs have to work to function normally. This can result in exhaustion because your whole system is working overtime to keep you in running order.

By cleansing and detoxifying, you'll improve your transit time, maximize the elimination of stored toxins, and improve the quality of your blood.

Toxic Overload Can Lead to Damage and Disease.

Toxins have the ability to damage cellular functioning. They harm the little fuel factories inside our cells so that we are unable to produce as much energy. Toxicity also damages our genetic repair mechanism.

The body's inability to cope with an increasing toxic burden is the common link in the seemingly disconnected assortment of twenty-first century ailments. Toxicity is the underlying cause in today's cornucopia of health issues.

Everything from food allergies and chemical sensitivities, to bloating and indigestion, hemorrhoids and anal fissures, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and diverticulitis, chronic fatigue and infertility, weight gain and breast cancer...all of these ailments are symptoms that may be related to toxic poisoning on a cellular and genetic level.

Anti-Toxin Action Plan

- Reduce Pesticide, Preservative, and Chemical Consumption
- Cleanse Your Colon and Liver of Impurities
- Help Your Body to Regenerate with Advanced Supplementation

Implementing a variety of lifestyle changes to promote regular, natural, and ongoing detoxification is a vital aspect of total health care. Eliminating as many toxic substances from your body as possible ensures your cells are well protected from damage.

Supporting your body's own detoxifying system with cleansing and additional nourishment means that when cell damage does occur, your body will have the resources it needs to repair itself.

Step 1: Make Healthy Choices Every Day.

With so much in our environment that renders us toxic, many people wonder if it is even possible to reduce their exposure to chemicals. Happily, you can decrease your toxic level dramatically by making better choices about the foods you eat and the products you use.

In 2005 the Los Angeles Times reported that children are exposed to pesticides predominantly through the food they eat, rather than by direct exposure from chemical spraying. Amazingly, by simply switching to organic foods, the children studied showed an immediate and tremendous decrease in their levels of toxicity.²

Carefully monitor the food you eat. Choose lean, organic meats, whole grains, and fresh fruit and vegetables.

Read the labels, and avoid foods containing chemicals, artificial additives, trans fats, and sugar. Buy organic, non-genetically modified foods with minimal and/or non-toxic packaging.

For those with severe toxic symptoms, consider removing common allergens from your diet such as dairy, beef, chocolate, citrus, corn, eggs, peanuts, pork, nightshade vegetables and fruit, shellfish, soy products, strawberries, veal, wheat, and yeast. By re-introducing these one at a time, you will gain insight into foods your body likes...and those that it doesn't.

Step 2: Cleanse Your Colon and Liver of Impurities

Digestive problems such as bloating and gas, foul-smelling stool, constipation and/or diarrhea, a bad taste in your mouth, acid reflux, heartburn, and food sensitivities are often the first sign that your internal detoxification system is struggling under a toxic weight.

A simple fix that will get you back on the road to good health is a combination colon and liver detoxifying cleanse. Puristat has several package options, depending upon your unique situation.

It's important to identify and eliminate unnecessary burdens and provide your body with support rather than mask symptoms with medication. And while you slowly work toward making healthy, body-friendly lifestyle choices to decrease toxic intake over the long-term, you can give yourself a helping hand by treating your GI tract and liver to a purifying cleanse.

The GI tract and liver are the organs primarily responsible for detoxification. The blood that flows through every major organ in your body comes from the colon. When the large intestine is sluggish and not removing waste efficiently, too much fluid from the waste is absorbed into your body. This causes hard, impacted stools and allows far too many toxins from daily living to be absorbed back into your body.

Colon cleansing improves transit time, ridding the colon of stool and toxins in a timely fashion. It also helps to eliminate unhealthy bacteria, yeast overgrowth, and parasites from the GI tract.

A major function of the liver is to cleanse the blood. Since all blood comes from the colon, it is best to begin a GI/liver cleanse with the removal toxic build-up, parasites, and waste from the colon. Following a colon cleanse, the blood that comes to your liver will be as toxin-free as possible.

The next step is to cleanse your liver to help remove unwanted toxins, and enable it to function properly. When you have a healthy liver, you will have increased energy, improved metabolism, and the ability to burn excess fat.

Once your GI tract and liver are functioning optimally, you can incorporate other cleansings, such as blood and kidney detoxification, into your regular health regimen.

Happy results... "I'm sixty-seven years old, but I've been running around like a thirty-year-old! The combination colon and liver cleanse has worked wonders for me. I now "go" two or three times a day...after a couple of days I began to experience, well, a kind of euphoria. I honestly feel wonderful...ambitious and energetic. It's this overall feeling of wellness that's hard to describe.

Step 3: Regenerate with Multivitamins

We may seldom stop to consider this fact, but our bodies are constantly detoxifying themselves – each of us has our very own cleansing system made up of lymphatic fluids, hormones, and enzymes that work to rid us of pollutants.

If you are feeling weak, tired, and unable to shed those last few unwanted pounds, odds are you are vitamin deficient. While lifestyle and nutrition are paramount to supporting the body's ability to detoxify itself, we also need hundreds of enzymes and vitamins to perform the vital task of filtering out toxins. Yet most of us are depleted of the very vitamins we need to naturally and adequately detoxify.

Eating your veggies is no longer enough. The soil in which we grow our food is so depleted that it is virtually impossible to get proper assistance for detoxification without some form of Advanced Supplementation...no matter how well you eat.

A rich, superior-grade multi-vitamin / multi-mineral supplement, therefore, is essential to good health and supporting the detoxification process. With a multi-vitamin you can be assured that you're taking the right combination...one that enables vitamins and minerals to work synergistically in your metabolic and enzymatic systems.

Choose a multi-vitamin that contains calcium, magnesium, and essential fatty acids [link to multi-vitamin ingredient list]. This will help your body make up for what is lacking in your food, as well as work toward nourishing your cellular functioning.

Puristat's Advanced Supplementation provides the nutritional foundation necessary to stimulate the healing process from within. Specifically designed to support and strengthen digestive functioning, the Advanced Supplementation formula is based on the latest medical and nutritional knowledge on how best to foster and maintain optimum health.

And Always Remember...
Your Body and Mind Are Intricately Connected

While the GI tract works to absorb, digest, eliminate, and provide immunity, it is also connected to your brain. The condition of your GI tract plays a vital role in your emotional state, and vice versa.

Tension is simply another kind of toxin, so emotional, intellectual, and spiritual nourishment are as vital to a properly functioning detoxification system as exercise and proper diet. Remember to ensure that your less obvious needs are being met, too.

• Always believe in yourself. Stay positive, and focus your mind on positive thoughts and goals you wish to realize. If you focus and believe, you can achieve whatever you want to. Negative thoughts produce negative outcomes, so put the brakes on negative thinking.



• Spend some time on your own each day/week doing something you're passionate about – pull out an old, cherished photograph album; watch a DVD; take a yoga class; call an old friend; go horseback riding; or write in your journal.



• Lift your spirits. Share something of yourself with the people you love and trust – whether it's airing a problem, or celebrating a small victory, opening up can rejuvenate the soul.



• Get involved in your community. You'll be amazed at how simply becoming a part of it all can take you out of yourself and, at the same time, remind you that others – even strangers – value your contributions.



• Connect with the outdoors, or whatever it is that reminds you of the integral part you play in something greater than yourself. Go for a walk in the woods, have a chat with your pastor, or become involved with something new to foster your spiritual needs.



• Exercise is the way our bodies release physical tension. Movement clears your mind, reduces stress, and enables us to stockpile energy. Exercise also helps improve posture and digestion, as well as foster lower back flexibility. And activity throughout the day is better than long workouts. Try three, ten-minute stints of aerobic and strengthening exercises, in combination with stretching.

Easy Does It!

Take it slowly when you begin to make lifestyle changes to support your body's detoxification system; it can take years to develop a regimen that is just right for you.

Our core belief is that everyone's body is different, so our kits try to accommodate for each individual's unique, specific approach to detoxification. Puristat's Colon and Liver Cleanse kits are designed to suit your current situation.

Though we cannot rid ourselves of every potential negative from our diets and our environment, the more we know about toxic overload and how to avoid it, the healthier and happier we'll be.
