We live in an extremely polluted environment. Toxins are virtually inescapable. The water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breath, the medicines we take, even the bacteria in our intestines all add up to pollution of our bodily systems.

There are currently more than 70,000 toxins in our environment. Farmers are producing ever-increasing amounts of food, and they are using huge quantities of poisonous pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, and chemical fertilizers. Further food processing adds preservatives, artificial colors, artificial flavor enhancers, and artificial sweeteners. The average American is consuming 135 pounds of food additives every year.

Secondly, it’s not what you eat—it’s what you absorb that counts. Poor assimilation leads to nutritional deficiencies. The job of your small and large intestine is to absorb nutrients from the foods you eat and the supplements you take. If the intestinal walls are clogged with impacted wastes, nutrients can’t be absorbed and are eliminated.

It’s up to us to protect ourselves from these toxins and accumulated waste in our system because our health and beauty are directly related to our ability to absorb the nutrients from our food and supplements, and just as important, our ability to detoxify.

Mega-Cleanse / Mega-Cleanse EX contains 37 herbs and super foods to cleanse toxins from the liver, colon, kidneys, lymphatic system, and blood.* Single herbs used alone often will not have the same effect as when combined in a formula. A synergy is created. These formulas have been in use since 1987 and are helping hundreds of people.

The Mega-Cleanse has 30 herbs that cleanse all six channels of elimination including the liver and colon. The Mega-Cleanse EX provides additional help and cleansing for the liver and colon as these organs may require more assistance in the removal of toxic waste. You may take these formulas together or either one by itself.

You would keep increasing the amount by one or two tablets / capsules until you find what works best for your particular metabolism. If you should get diarrhea, that’s an indication that you are taking too much, so you should cut back one or two capsules per day until the stool is more solid and you are eliminating 2-3 times per day. You MUST drink lots of bottled or purified water to irrigate your system and aid the cleansing process. Eight 8 oz glasses per day is suggested.

The Mega-Cleanse / Mega-Cleanse EX formulas contain no chemicals, preservatives, toxins or pesticides. They are pure and pollution free, and as pure substances they will not cause side affects. However, it is possible for a person, who has been eating improperly for years, to experience minor discomforts and body changes when he alters his eating habits or adds new substances to his system.

Eight of the herbs in these formulas cleanse and heal your system. They are as follows: alfalfa, aloe vera, bayberry bark, beet root, burdock root, cascara sagrada, dandelion and ginger.

When you add these new substances to your system, the accumulated toxins that were stored in your tissues and organs begin to leach out into the bloodstream and are passed out of the body through the elimination process. However, while these toxic substances are floating around in your system in their concentrated form, they will re-poison the body slightly until they are completely expelled.

If we will just give our system a chance to eliminate and re-adjust, we will feel much better. We must move slowly but surely towards tissue cleansing and rejuvenating our system, keeping in mind that even as it took time to pollute our system, it will take time to reverse the process.

Many clients report that they have been able to take the Mega-Cleanse Internal Cleansing Complex and the Mega-Cleanse EX with their medications. We at Body Dynamics recommend that before you take any herbal supplements with medications, you should consult your Doctor.

Yes, and here’s why.

Cascara Sagrada had been considered a mild, effective treatment for mild constipation for generations. First used by the Native Americans, it’s name means "sacred bark", in Spanish, a reference to the medicinal part of the plant itself. The bark is rich in hormone-like oil, which promotes the peristaltic action (pushing out of waste material) in the lower intestinal tract. It is this particular action that makes Cascara Sagrada so effective in relieving constipation.*

The fact that it is not habit forming makes it even more valuable in cases of constipation. The herb is popular for its ability to relieve constipation and tonify the bowel. The Dispensatory of the United States says this concerning the herb; "It often appears to restore tone to the relaxed bowel and in this way produces a permanent beneficial effect". It is considered mild and gentle enough for use by children and the elderly. Reports in the "Drug Evaluations" of the American Medical Association confirm that Cascara Sagrada causes peristalsis in the large intestine with virtually no side effect on the small intestine.*

Colon health is dependent on the maintenance of beneficial intestinal bacteria and proper elimination. In this regard, Cascara Sagrada can prove to be invaluable in its role as a colon cleanser. When five healthy medical students were given Cascara, their bacteria counts of E coli and enterococci significantly decreased. The emodin and rhein constituents of Cascara actually inhibit the respiration processes of certain bacteria. * While undesirable bacteria may be destroyed by these compounds, friendly bacteria are not. This good flora is necessary for colon health and helps to keep the immune system strong.*

Cascara Sagrada also contributes to correcting hormonal imbalances controlled by the pituitary and facilitates the activation of the gallbladder, liver and the pancreas.*
