It's Spring! Time For Spring Cleaning! Yes, it's that time of year where the house needs a thorough spring cleaning. Its time to: Take down the curtains and wash them Wash all windows, inside and out Clean the carpets Clean the upholstery Clean the oven Clean the trash cans Launder the quilts, blanket and bedspreads Thoroughly dust book shelves and hard to get places Clean out the bedroom closets and donate items to your favorite second hand store Clean out the utility closets and organize (my children and I each take a closet). Whew! It usually takes several days, and sometimes we wait and take the week after school is out to do it all. Ever thought about spring cleaning the body, our physical house? It's such a good idea, since spring is when many people experience colds and pollen allergies (especially after all the pollutants from the preceding holidays such as Christmas, New Years, Valentines Day and Easter). So how does one cleanse? A liquid fast is an excellent way to cleanse the blood and lymphatic system. This can be really effective when done for 3-6 days and you will feel so good afterwards. Liquids such as distilled water, vegetables broths, raw vegetable juices (from carrots, celery, greens, beets, etc.), and raw fruit juices (apple, citrus, grape, etc.) will help neutralize poisons in the bloodstream and will stimulate the cleansing functions of liver, bowels, and kidneys. Always make sure you are drinking lots of water in between the different juices, especially if you feel bloated. Bloating is a natural occurrence when the body is trying to cleanse faster than it is, so make sure you are getting plenty of water. Herbs such as cascara sagrada, echinacea, garlic, and dandelion are excellent to take during this period. If you haven't gone on an all liquid fast before, be causious, but the benefits are really great. Enemas or colonics are definitely a benefit on at least a yearly basis. Cleaning the colon is like cleaning the scum out of a trash can or toilet. There is obviously a build up of debris after months and years, and it is so beneficial to get right to the source and pull the plug! Yes, get an enema bag and fill your colon 5-6 times with a warm water solution of ½ cup apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to 2 quarts of water (that is - while laying on your right side, fill the colon, wait until you feel the need to expel, then expel and repeat). For more information email Erleen. Saunas or Epsom salt baths are both great ways to cleanse the skin through the pores. For an Epsom salt bath, add ½ cup Epsom salt to very warm bath water. Adding peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils doubles the benefits. You won't want to get out of the bath tub, so stay as long as the water is warm and enjoy the cleansing! As always, to cleanse the lungs, exercise daily and take several deep cleansing breaths to keep the lungs strong and clean. Don't exercise on a busy street where you are breathing toxic automobile fumes, but get out in the open air and even the mountains when possible. Then concentrate on always breathing clean air. Don't use toxic chemicals or breath in those type of environments that have toxic pollutants. Energy comes from having a clean system! When we are clean internally, we can be free of sickness and disease, and have the health and energy to do what we desire in life. So give your physical house a spring cleaning this year (and every year) and see if it doesn't make a difference for you. Give it a try! To a Healthier Lifestyle, Erleen

In the blender, place 2 cups of juice (pineapple or apple, but fresh is best). Add ½ cup raw almonds and blend until smooth. Then while blending, add greens such as parsley, mints, collards, Swiss chard, spinach, etc. then an apple, cucumber, carrot, stalk of celery, alfalfa sprouts, whatever you have or like. Add water, and/or ice if desired, and keep blending until liquefied.

This will be more than one person will drink, unless you drink it all day long too, so share it with the family. But this drink is a great cleanser and daily energizer. Give it a try!
