I myself have done lots of cleanses however there is only one that I have used to clear out the build up that I have had due to an unforeseen gluten intolerance for approx. 25 yrs. The cleanse was for 5 days very easy and no pain, and very effective.
If you have a build up your nutrients will not be able to absorb efficiently. After doing the cleanse I feel and see that my stomach is flatter, congestion went away, elimination is so much better, and the best thing is I know I will be absorbing better. That in turns helps with yeast issues, bacteria, parasites if it would be an issue and any other health issues you may have. I also want to mention building the body up with good nutrients also helps to achieve Optimal Health and so I do supplement along with good food, it is a must in my experience. So as you see so many things line up due to cleaning out the build up. As you clean up your diet the build up stays at more of a minimal. As I say You Are What You Ate! Please let me know if you need any help finding the right cleanse for you.

Therefore causing your body not to be nourished and fed to support your organs. Lets face it something has to give and become weak when the body dosen't get what it needs on a daily basis.

What Gluten is?

Gluten is a vegetable protein-most commonly known as wheat protein. It is found primarily in wheat, rye, & barley. But is not limited to just theses grains. Today, grains(even organis) are genetically engineered to have a high gluten content. It allows you to bake wonderful bread and items that is crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. But gluten has a not so good side. Many people are allergic or sensitive to it. If you are completely allergic to it, the diagnosis is usually Celiac disease. If you are sensitive to it, you will or can become chronically sick and or disabled. Some people will go through life never knowing the connection; your doctor may never discover the connection; and sometimes endure endless not necessary medical treatments. Medical gluten tests usually turn up positive after the intestinal linings have been all but destroyed. So you can be left not knowing out in the cold, and having to think on your own and outside the box. So you ask yourself What can I do?  The answer is simple~ until tomorrow.
