Why We Need to Regularly Cleanse Our Bodies of Toxins
Several years ago I experienced a great deal of stress as I went through my divorce. At the same time I found a lump in one breast. In my search for all things holistic and natural, I came upon information about toxins and how the biggest cause of toxins is stress. I also learned how the breasts are literally the dumping ground for toxins in the body. In this search I found out about the ion cleanse for detoxification process that I offer as a service in my wellness practice. I loved the idea of not having to take an oral type of cleanse – I felt nervous about all of the herbal pills in the packages. I had read stories about the herbs being mouldy, covered in pesticide and out-dated. I had also heard that a lot of the boxed cleanses detox your body too harshly and quickly. I needed this thing called an ion cleanse! And I must tell you – it worked wonderfully. I still do one weekly and have since 2006.
Here is some information about the ion cleanse process and how it works to detoxify your body; giving you the opportunity to jump out of bed feeling a burst of energy!
What is it all about?
Our world is filled with stress, stresses that come from everyday life. Our bodies were not designed for the high levels of stress we experience on an ongoing basis. We rush around all day, from place to place or task to task, we rush when we eat – we never slow down enough for our body to catch up. Modern conveniences were supposed to give us more time – but all I see around me are people on cell phones, texting, emailing and expected to do everything instantly – long gone are the days of the phrase: “it’s in the mail.”
Our bodies are not designed for plastic foods, genetically modified foods, chemicals, pesticides in fruit, vegetables and grains, growth hormone in meats, medications etc. in our drinking water and pollutants in the air.
Think of a detox in the same way as you would a spring or fall cleaning for your home – the same way you take your car in or change your furnace filters. Have you seen what your furnace filter looks like? The liver; which acts as the filter for the body (the largest organ in the body) gets clogged up with toxins in the same way. Aging well includes cleaning our body out regularly. Our car would not run with dirty gasoline and our home would be full of airborne pollutants without the filter in the furnace.
Here are Five benefits to cleansing:
- Create a Slimmer you – One of the main underlying causes of weight gain affecting men and women is toxic build-up. Detoxing your body is gentle and safe to set your body up for optimal weight loss!
- Absorption of nutrients – Your bloodstream is nourished through the intestinal system, if it is dirty, so are all of your organs, cells and tissues. When you cleanse, you eliminate waste and toxins. This allows better absorption of minerals, supplements and nutrients from healthy foods.
- Promotes healthy digestion – The body stores toxins as it is not designed to deal with them. Cleansing helps your body get rid of waste and toxins. This includes the things we eat like processed food, sugar, flour and preservatives which cannot be broken down.
- Immune System – Three quarters of your immune system is in your intestinal tract. If your immune system is overloaded with toxins, you can pick up diseases more quickly. Cleansing helps to eliminate toxins from the bloodstream and makes you feel and look better. You will experience more energy.
- Overall Health – By cleaning the body from the inside out…. we can expect an improvement in skin, fatigue, headaches, allergies and bad breath.
Session Information
We are now exposed to the greatest toxic load in the planet’s history. Our bodies are constantly being bombarded with chemicals, toxins, heavy metals and pollutants coming from the air we breathe, the food we ingest and the water we drink.
Much of the food we consume is genetically modified and exposed to pesticides and insecticides. The air we breathe is filled with many air-borne pollutants. The water we drink is laden with solvents, heavy metals, dissolved plastics, hormones, petroleum products etc.
As a result of this exposure, physical symptoms can manifest in the form of:
• allergies
• skin problems including acne, rashes, dark circles under the eyes
• digestive problems such as constipation & diarrhea
• headaches, migraines
• respiratory conditions
• chronic colds, flu’s
and degenerative diseases such as:
• cancer
• diabetes
• arthritis
• heart disease
• depression
• obesity
• psoriasis
• gout
• joint pain
• chronic fatigue / fibromyalgia
The Ion Cleanse system can help you achieve increased wellness and avoid disease. It helps to relieve your entire body from the daily toxic stress it is constantly being exposed to. It may be possible to improve comfort and well-being despite a lifetime of toxic build-up in the body. It provides a comfortable and relaxing way to rid the body of toxins and rejuvenate aging organs and glands. Ongoing and periodic detoxification combined with a healthy lifestyle are key to good health. Isn’t that what we all strive for?
 What is an Ion Cleanse?
It is a process that draws waste from the body through a unit (array) placed in water with a positive and negative electric current. The array goes into the water with the hands, feet or body, and the power supply delivers a small amount of direct current into the array which causes the metals within it, in combination with water and salt, to generate positively and negatively charged ions. Ions are charged atoms that have gained or lost an electron, which causes them to set up a magnetic field capable of attracting and neutralizing oppositely charged particles and pulling them out of the body through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is a scientific term used to describe the movement of particles through a membrane from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. The higher concentration in this case refers to the ion field set up by the Ion Cleanse machine in the water.
Ions travel through the body quickly, attaching themselves to many different toxic substances. It may be possible to neutralize pain and other symptoms caused by a lifetime of toxic build-up in the body. The long-term effectiveness of the Ion Cleanse detoxification process depends on the other life-enhancing changes that the patient is willing to make.
What are the benefits of negative ions?
Removes bacteria, vitalizes our cells, increases the oxygen holding capacity of blood, improves metabolism, improves alertness, removes fatigue, boosts resistance to disease, has a substantial healing effect on headaches, insomnia, constipation, allergy, asthma and more.
How does it work??
Because of poor diet and high stress, we tend to accumulate and store excessive quantities of waste products. During a 30-minute session, the ions enter your body and begin to neutralize these tissue acid wastes. The process is called reverse osmosis.
It is similar to walking in the sand along the beach, only more powerful because your feet are in direct contact with the ions being made in the water. Recall the way your body felt the last time you stood next to a waterfall or walked along a beach with the waves breaking at your feet. You breathed more deeply into your lungs and abdomen; your brain cleared and the pain in your joints subsided. You felt relaxed and at peace with the world. These invigorating reactions were caused by the ionization of trillions of water molecules as they crashed to earth.
What can I expect from an Ion Cleanse session?
Healthy individuals can expect to feel lighter and experience a greater feeling of well-being from each Ion Cleanse detox session. Some people with pain, edema, swollen and deteriorating joints have reported symptomatic relief from Ion Cleanse detox sessions.
Ion Cleanse detoxification accelerates change in the body. Aging and disease states are characterized by a diminishing anabolic capacity and an increasing catabolic capacity. Toxic build-up of cellular waste and debris is the inevitable outcome of these trends. Reversing them through whole body detoxification requires nutritional support, particularly digestive enzymes, trace minerals and fatty acids, which are involved in the movement and transport of raw materials in the body.
Many colours and objects appear in the water during Ion Cleanse sessions. There is a reaction between the toxins and the particles in the water, the salt added to the water, the metals in the array, and the acidity or alkalinity of the person being bathed.
I encourage you to come and try at least one with me. Here are a few testimonials:
“Just wanted to let you know I feel 10 kinds of fabulous this morning. I feel REALLY clear headed. Still do. Pretty fab. I think we’re going to have to do this cleanse bit again!”

“The ION cleanse was so great. I had a wonderful little nap and woke up so refreshed. Later that evening, I realized that although I still had almost all the joint pain, I no longer had the stiffness and I could easily walk without my cane !!!! My hand that was so swollen and so painful at a 10+ (pain) was no longer swollen and the pain is a 1-2 and I can once again close my hand into a fist. YES !!! I had a women’s group that I attended today (without my cane) and I felt wonderful. One of my friends (Julie Shea) will be calling you to set up a session. Thank you so much !!!!! I will spread the word”
