You see, the average person who completes at least 10 days of the cleanse inspires at least 3 others to do it, too! (I found this out in surveys I have done of Master Cleansers in 2005 and 2011. The numbers are remarkably similar in both surveys.)</p><p>Toward that goal, I have been working on a new book on coaching the Master Cleanse and have decided to set up a download of it in the Premium members area along with <em>Can I Ask You A Question?</em>, an eBook with answers to the most common 112 questions on the Master Cleanse accumulated over nine years from more than 2,000 people&#8217;s questions!</p><p>Just to be sure your friends get the best results, I have included in the Premium area the 31-page Master Cleanse Journal with instructions, encouragement and room for before and after pictures, measurements, etc. and am letting you sell or give out copies to those you coach at no extra cost.</p><p>I&#8217;m still in the setup stage of this activity with lots more to come (a website seal, lapel pin and certification). There&#8217;s currently a long delay after you pay ($19.95 per month, cancel-able at any time) before you can set up your username and password. And then it doesn&#8217;t let you register right on the home page as it should, but it does send you an email with the correct page to log into.</p><p>As you can see, I have lots to do. After I get this set up properly, I&#8217;m going to increase the price substantially, but right now I&#8217;d like your feedback. So, if you&#8217;re interested in coaching others, please go to the website and click on the Premium tab under &#8220;Membership&#8221; on the top menu.</p><p>Any problems, email me at newsltr at themastercleanse dot com.</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rawfoodsite/~4/F-mrze_IEPw" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://themastercleanse.com/2012/01/become-a-master-cleanse-coach/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>7</slash:comments> <feedburner:origLink>http://themastercleanse.com/2012/01/become-a-master-cleanse-coach/</feedburner:origLink></item> <item><title>Can I Ask You A Question?</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/rawfoodsite/~3/-_Pvfkgqw_Y/</link> <comments>http://themastercleanse.com/2012/01/can-i-ask-you-a-question/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:20:07 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Peter Glickman</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Members Only]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://themastercleanse.com/?p=1806</guid> <description><![CDATA[Accumulated from more than nine years of coaching over 2000 people, this 60-page eBook contains answers to the most common 112 questions about the Master Cleanse as well as inspirational stories.

title="Lose Weight, Have More Energy &amp; Be Happier in 10 Days" href="http://themastercleanse.com/store/master-cleanse-books/master-cleanse-book/"><em>Lose Weight, Have More Energy &amp; Be Happier in 10 Days</em></a>.)</p><p>Because alternative healing offers different treatments for a lack of vibrant good health and happiness, they are often dismissed or even fought by medical societies. A historical example of this is Sir William A. Lane (1856 &#8211; 1943). He was a distinguished member of the British Royal Society of Surgeons. He is still known for three surgical procedures he invented, including the use of plates and screws for repairing fractures that otherwise wouldn’t heal correctly. During the First World War (1914–18), he opened a branch of Queen Mary&#8217;s Hospital, which pioneered plastic surgery to repair facial birth defects.</p><p>“Lane was regarded at his peak as the best abdominal surgeon in England and was called on to operate on Royalty, politicians and many society figures of the Edwardian era.” Lane&#8217;s vast experience in surgery led him to realize that long-term un-eliminated waste in the colon putrefied and therefore caused many other diseases. Lane referred to it as autointoxication (literally, self poisoning). The modern word for it is endotoxins (endo = internal, toxins = poisons).</p><p>For example, such are created when protein is acted on by certain bacteria. In his first misguided attempt to remedy this, Lane, being a surgeon, performed total colectomies (removing the entire colon). In 1926 after observing the failure of surgery as the treatment, Lane “started promoting exercise, fruit and vegetables and bran cereal as the answer to bowel problems. Using his many royal and society connections he set up The New Health Society [in England in 1925] to promote … health education… [and] … wrote columns in the newspapers, held public lectures and improved the distribution of fruit and vegetables.”</p><p>The medical establishment fought his effort to improve health with non-medicinal, non-surgical means. They were so vehement that in 1926 Lane “in order to promote the New Health Society…, asked to have his name removed from the Medical Register to avoid being disciplined by the [British] General Medical Council.” (“Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, 1856–1943,” by Richard Brand, MD, Aug. 2009)</p><p>Sir William A. Lane, addressing the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Medical College said: “Gentlemen, I will never die of cancer. I am taking measures to prevent it&#8230; It is caused by poisons created in our bodies by the food we eat&#8230; What we should do, then, if we would avoid cancer, is to eat&#8230; raw fruits and vegetables; first, that we may be better nourished; secondly, that we may more easily eliminate waste products&#8230; We have been studying germs when we should have been studying diet and drainage. . The world has been on the wrong track. The answer has been within ourselves all the time&#8230; Drain the body of its poisons, feed it properly, and the miracle is done. Nobody need have cancer who will take the trouble to avoid it.&#8221; (from Why Christians Get Sick by Rev. George Malkmus)</p><p>By the way, Lane lived to be 87 years old and died in an auto accident during the Second World War in London.</p><p>All the information in this article is from “Sir William Arbuthnot-Lane,” www.Wikipedia.com, accessed Oct. 6, 2010, except where otherwise noted.</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rawfoodsite/~4/HuVbbRJTXdk" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://themastercleanse.com/2012/01/thrown-out-of-medical-society-for-recommending-fresh-fruits-vegetables/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <feedburner:origLink>http://themastercleanse.com/2012/01/thrown-out-of-medical-society-for-recommending-fresh-fruits-vegetables/</feedburner:origLink></item> <item><title>Diet Soda: Cure or Curse?</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/rawfoodsite/~3/dYeXKki3_h4/</link> <comments>http://themastercleanse.com/2012/01/diet-soda-cure-or-curse/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:31:37 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Peter Glickman</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Alternative Medicine]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://themastercleanse.com/?p=1775</guid> <description><![CDATA[Diet Soda Helps You Avoid Calories So You Can Stay Slim, Right?

href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/06/110627183944.htm" target="_blank">two scientific studies</a> presented to the American Diabetes Association&#8217;s Scientific Sessions in San Diego in June 2011.</p><p>Scientists from the School of Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center studied data from 474 people over more than 10 years and discovered that  diet soft drink users had 70% greater increases in their waist size compared with non-users. Frequent diet soda users (two or more diet sodas a day) had waist size increases 5 times greater than non-users!</p><p><strong>Aspartame (the artificial sweetener in most diet sodas) has been linked to increased risk for diabetes<br
/> </strong></p><p>Another scientific study of mice suggested that heavy aspartame exposure might increase blood sugar levels and thus increase the risk of diabetes in humans.</p><p><strong>More on Aspartame</strong></p><p>The artificial sweetener Aspartame, is also sold as NutraSweet, Equal, Equal Measure and Spoonful. As some of you may know, the Food and Drug Administration has a system that permits people to report adverse (bad) reactions. In February of 1994, Aspartame accounted for more than 75% of <strong><em>all</em></strong> adverse reactions from any source!</p><p>The January, 1990, <em>Plane and Pilot</em> magazine featured an article on food additives. It explained that diet soft drinks are sweetened artificially by Aspartame (also called NutraSweet and Equal), and that Aspartame contains 10% methanol, a poison, that is released at temperatures above 86 degrees or left for a long time on the shelf. You should know that on 27 June 1996, without public notice, the FDA removed all restrictions from aspartame allowing it to be used in everything, including all heated and baked goods.</p><p>The <em>Plane and Pilot</em> article disclosed that methanol destroys the brain a little at a time. Immediate effects can either be severe (epileptic seizures, blindness, or chest palpitations) or less noticeable (blurred vision, bright flashes, tunnel vision, ringing or buzzing in ears, migraine headaches, dizziness, loss of equilibrium, or lip and mouth reactions).</p><p>The article reported on an Air Force pilot who traced the patterns of tremors and seizures he suffered for two years directly to his consuming NutraSweet in beverages. His tremors grew more severe and ended his flying career. His medical problems ceased when he quit ingesting NutraSweet, but it was too late to restore his flying status.</p><p>The article also mentioned another pilot who suffered similar symptoms only when using Aspartame products. After only two cups of artificially sweetened hot chocolate in flight, a pilot experienced blurred vision so severe he was unable to read the instruments and very narrowly avoided a tragic landing. Safely on the ground, he related his symptoms to the secretaries in his office. Both of them told of experiencing similar symptoms after consuming Aspartame products.</p><p>Want to improve your health and be happier? Quit drinking diet drinks with Aspartame, NutraSweet and Equal!</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rawfoodsite/~4/dYeXKki3_h4" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://themastercleanse.com/2012/01/diet-soda-cure-or-curse/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> <feedburner:origLink>http://themastercleanse.com/2012/01/diet-soda-cure-or-curse/</feedburner:origLink></item> <item><title>MDs Opinions of the Master Cleanse</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/rawfoodsite/~3/XgjNRupnWWk/</link> <comments>http://themastercleanse.com/2011/12/mds-opinions-of-the-master-cleanse/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 28 Dec 2011 03:37:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Peter Glickman</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Master Cleanse]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://themastercleanse.com/?p=1766</guid> <description><![CDATA[&#8220;In my environmental medicine practice, I attempt to identify toxic elements, physical and spiritual.

He was going to put a fast food chain burger and fries in a large jar versus homemade ones in another jar, but he waited until there wasn’t enough time to let them rot to see if there was a difference.</p><p>That’s where I came in. I suggested he do the vitamin C and baking soda drink as an example of mixing an acid and a base (alkaline) to get a fizzy drink that was neutral as far as acids and bases go.</p><p>I’d been drinking this mixture, 1 teaspoon of vitamin C and a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda sometimes with a little lemon juice for flavor and sometimes also with a little maple syrup to sweeten it, for about a year. What got me started was reading Thomas Levy’s book, <em>Stop America’s #1 Killer</em>. That’s heart disease, by the way.</p><p>In that book, Levy takes up Linus Pauling’s work that demonstrated heart disease is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C. Pauling, by the way,     is the only man on Earth to ever win two Nobel Prizes on his own. in 1954 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry for his work in discovering the pattern of DNA (the chemical in cells that controls our heredity). And in 1962 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace for his work which resulted in the US and Russia banning above ground nuclear testing, which had been shown to cause radioactive fallout to get into babies’ teeth from cows’ milk.</p><p>But I’m getting a little off the subject, back to my grandson’s science project. He learned that you can measure how acidic (sour) and how alkaline (slippery) things are by using a pH strip that turns different colors. He also liked that the mixture of vitamin C and baking soda makes fizzy carbonated water.</p><p>As we talked about how he was going to write up these results, he got interested and wanted to test other liquids. We ended up testing vinegar (acid), lemon juice (acid), cream (mildly acid), egg whites (mildly alkaline) and some mysterious ash from the stove (acid).</p><p>It was exciting to see him get interested in this topic and really investigate to learn new things. He had learned what the scientific method was all about: testing things in the real world to see what actually happens.</p><p>What did I learn from his science project? That making science understandable is the key to helping people improve their lives with knowledge.

When fluorine combines with another element, such as calcium or sodium, the compound created is called fluoride. Pure fluorine is not found in nature. This is because fluorine is one of the two most reactive elements in the world. Thus it combines with many different elements.</p><p>One of the most common natural fluorides is calcium fluoride. It is the least toxic. Even so, too much calcium fluoride produces changes to the teeth. The first stage displays bright white spots on the teeth. The second stage displays permanent brown stains and the third stage results in brittle, pitted brown stained teeth.</p><p>Sodium fluoride is more toxic. It was/is used for a century as a pesticide and rat poison until it was banned by the EPA in September 2005. It is the reason all fluoride toothpaste tubes carry warnings: “Keep out of the reach of children under 6 years of age. If more than used for brushing [a pea-sized amount] is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or call a Poison Control Center right away.” Sodium fluoride is slightly more toxic than stannous fluoride, which resulted in the death of 3-year old William Kennerly in Brooklyn, NY in 1974 as a result of swallowing and not spitting out a routine fluoride treatment</p><p>If sodium fluoride is not added to municipal water supplies, it has to be disposed of by taking it to a Class 1 Hazardous Waste landfill which would charge approximately $7000 for a truckload. It is used to fluoridate approximately 10% of municipal water supplies.</p><p>Hydrofluosilicic (hy-dro-flew-o-sill-is-ic) acid, which I call “chemical soup,” is more toxic yet. It is a waste product of the phosphate/fertilizer industry. It is known to contain lead and arsenic in small amounts. It is used to fluoridate the remaining 90% of municipal water systems.</p><p>The reason it is important to distinguish the different forms of fluoride is that there has never been any peer-reviewed, published scientific study demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of chemical soup.</p><p>However, there have been two studies showing the danger of the chemical soup based on historical data from approximately 400,000 children in Massachusetts, New York and several other states. Both of these studies, done by Professor Roger Masters of Dartmouth College, show that areas using the chemical soup to fluoridate have increased levels of lead in children’s blood resulting in increased learning disabilities, increased incidence of diagnosed hyperactivity, increased violent crime arrests and increased arrests for possession of drugs at the time of their arrest.</p><p>An independent, impartial study of fluoridation by a blue ribbon panel of scientists from Natick, Massachusetts examined both sides of the question and recommended quite firmly <em>not</em><em> </em>to fluoridate.</p><p>They based their recommendations on many creditable studies showing increased tooth discoloration and malformation, increased hip fractures among the elderly, increased bone cancer among young males, reduced thyroid function, reduced kidney function, reduced IQ, increased chance of mongoloid birth, decreased fertility, and an increased cancer rate in general.</p><p>References:</p><ul><li><a

So, it would be wise to understand more about osteoporosis.</p><p>Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. Such breaks are generally in the hips, spine, ribs or wrists.</p><p>The current theory on the cause of osteoporosis is that heredity, hormones, exercise and diet play major roles in this causing this disease. However, the diet focus is on deficiencies, not consuming enough calcium and Vitamin D. This ignores something even more important in your diet! (<a
href="http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/bonehealth/chapter_2.html"><strong>Bone Health and Osteoporosis: A Report of the Surgeon General, Chap. 2</strong></a>)</p><p>Osteoporosis can result from not getting enough calcium and Vitamin D in your diet. However, it can also result from eating too many sweets even if you do get sufficient calcium in your diet because sugar consumption lowers the amount of calcium in your blood. To maintain the correct amount of calcium in your blood, your body pulls calcium from your bones and teeth!</p><p>Do you know the two major functions of bone? The first one is obvious—it supports the muscles and organs of the body. Without the skeleton, we would all be jellyfish. The second, however, is not so obvious. It acts as a storehouse for two minerals: calcium and phosphorus. Most people are not aware that their bones are continuously dissolved and built up. Your skeleton’s cells are completely replaced every ten years by these two actions. This process is called remodeling. Osteoporosis is the result of bones dissolving, without being built up. They are dissolved from the inside, so they appear to be strong until they break.</p><p>When there is a sudden need for more calcium in the blood, special bone cells (osteoclasts) that dissolve bone go to work to make the calcium available. What causes the body to withdraw calcium from the bones (and teeth)? A major one is eating foods containing refined sugar. (<a
