90 Days?! Why does your program takse so much longer than other cleansing products?
The body needs time to heal and rejuvenate. Our cleansing program takes 90 days because it is a very thorough, very safe and very gentle program. There are cleansing programs out there that claim to do the same thing in 7, 21, or 30 days, but we are not comfortable with them. Your body has worked very hard to protect you from excessive toxins by containing them (usually by storing them in fat cells, or by attaching them to a cell's membrane — which, unfortunately, damages the cell and its ability to communicate with other cells). Because some programs try to eliminate these toxins in a very short period, they often discharge toxins into the body too fast for the eliminative mechanisms to handle properly. In addition, the cells that have held these toxins need time and support to recover from the damage the toxins have caused. And, if you try to do all of this too quickly, the benefits don't last because the overall toxic load is still there.
Our toxic load has built up slowly over many years, and we must not expect to be rid of it in just three days or a week. It is of the utmost importance to work with the body and not against it, and to promote the body's own detoxification systems instead of forcing the body to do something unnatural to it.
Is this a good program for anybody, men and women? Not just someone with prostate problems?
Absolutely! The BCN cleanse program has many fantastic benefits for healthy men and women as well. These include increased energy, clearer skin, and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Cleansing reduces toxins in the body that can cause inflammation such as arthritis. It also improves metabolism by helping the liver become more efficient.
Will this program help me lose weight?
Yes, but this is not a "weight loss" program. It is however, your best first step towards natural weight loss and for maintaining a proper weight. While this program is designed to cleanse and detoxify the body and not to shed unwanted pounds, cleansing does release the body’s stored toxins and this tends to decrease cravings for unhealthy foods. Once the cravings are reduced weight loss generally happens naturally, for if the body is storing toxins in fat cells, the body appears to be smart enough to know that eliminating the fat will release the toxins so it holds on to the fat. Once these toxins are eliminated, weight loss becomes easier. Also, as mentioned above, the cleanse promotes weight loss by restoring/improving the body’s metabolism.
If you are planning on trying to lose weight it is best to cleanse your body first. For women this is especially true as much of the body’s accumulated toxins are stored in cellulite. When you begin to lose weight these stored toxins are released back into the bloodstream, which can cause unpleasant side effects. Cleansing before beginning a serious weight loss program can help to dramatically reduce this possibility. So, when you cleanse first weight loss will be natural and easier.
My copy of Prostate Health in 90 Days mentions a product called Theraclear, which is not mentioned on your site. Why?
Your copy of the book is most likely an older version. Theraclear was replaced by PC-1-2-3 , our own herbal tincture anti-parasite formula that we developed specifically to work in synergy with the Nature’s Pure Body program. We have been using it for the past 11 years and have experienced much more positive results from it. In addition to ridding the body of parasites, it also strengthens the immune system so that the body is better able to resist parasites in the future. PC-1-2-3 also provides essential trace minerals, which are naturally lost during a fast, and also supports liver function and recovery. This is one of the reasons people do not experience "detox crisis" or other distress usually assoicated with fasting and cleansing while on our program.
Is this a heavy metal detox program?
No. However, the program will improve natural heavy metal removal pathways. The BCN 90-Day program is designed to improve the functionality of the body's normal means of removing heavy metals by promoting and encouraging the health of our own natural detoxification pathways. It is not designed to be a specific heavy metal detox program, and it will not inappropriately cause heavy metal problems or symptoms by dislodging them from dental fillings, for example, or from places the body has stored them.
I can’t find Grade B or C maple syrup. Is grade A okay instead?
Grade "C" maple syrup was originally recommended by Stanley Borroughs for the Master Cleanse. Since then the grading system has changed and grade "C" is no longer available to the public. If you can't find Grade B, Grade A is fine. Today there is very little nutritional difference between the grades. The important thing is to only purchase real maple syrup. Make sure there are no added ingredients!
Why maple syrup, and not honey or sugar?
The experts who designed the lemonade drink chose maple syrup because, unlike other sweeteners, maple syrup also contains many essential vitamins and minerals. Using maple syrup, and sipping the lemon-maple drink throughout the day, closely replicates the way our body naturally releases stored sugars throughout the day.
I have lemon juice concentrate – can I use that instead of real lemons?
No. Fresh lemons contain enzymes which promote the detoxification process. Lemon juice concentrate does not contain these enzymes and will not properly cleanse the body.
Can I use oranges to make the drink instead of lemons?
Oranges are acidic, just like lemons, but with lemons it is a little different. Unlike oranges, lemons are acidic to the taste, but work as an alkaline food to the body.
Can I use my Britta or other small Water Filter for the purified water needed for the lemonade drink?
These small filters do not remove bacteria and are not thorough enough to remove most toxins for fasting. Reverse Osmosis units, in particular the Hydro-Tech 1240 M Series, 4-stage system, are recommended. If this is not available, then it is better to buy purified water — not spring water — whenever possible.
I’m on the fast and taking all of the products and drinking the drink. Yet I am still very hungry! What can I do?
We recommend drinking an extra half-quart of the lemonade drink. Also, try adding an extra ounce of maple syrup per quart to the drink.
I’m having difficulties with the Salt Water Enema. What do you suggest?
Put 2 level teaspoons of salt into a small amount, 6 to 8 ounces, of water. Drink it down quickly. Then drink the rest of the quart of fresh water. You must be sure to drink a full quart of water! Or, try placing two level teaspoons of salt in about half a quart of water. Leave the other half-quart of water without salt. Take a sip of the salt water, then a sip of the plain water. Alternate until the entire quart is downed.
However, if drinking the salt water each morning seems too stressful, then call us (remember, we come with the program). It can be eliminated. Just be sure you are having at least one full bowel movement per day.
I’m having loose stool. What should I do?
Cut out (don’t take) your next scheduled dose of the colon program, and cut back the number of colon programs taken daily, slowly, after that. If you have questions about this, call us.
I’m not having 2 healthy bowel movements a day. What should I do?
Increase colon program tablets slowly to a maximum of 6 per day – 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. Also be sure to get adequate liquids by drinking the full amount of lemonade and water each day. But keep in mind, everyone is different and your experience will most likely not match Dr. Clapp's description in the book. During the fast it is not unusual for someone to only evacuate during the salt flush in the morning. We do not recommend taking any laxatives, additional colon cleansers, fiber or other aids during the fast. Consider prune juice, about 6 ounces per day, if you feel you need some help.
I have a lot of extra bentonite left over. What can I do with it?
Some people use it just before going to bed or every morning for a gentle cleanse, or if they have indigestion or diarrhea. Follow the directions on the bottle for dosage information.
I have a lot of extra Psyllium left over. What can I do with it?
Psyllium is an excellent source of fiber, and can be taken each day to promote regularity. Be sure to check that your psyllium has not become contaminated by other substances before using. Also, do not rely on psyllium for regularity. If you need psyllium every day to avoid constipation, then you need to evaluate your diet, exercise, water intake, probiotic status, and overall nutrition.
What foods should be eaten when breaking the fast?
It is best to stick with simple, easily digested foods to allow your body time to adjust to digesting whole food again. Orange juice is a great way to start, along with items like broth-based soups, soft boiled or poached eggs, steamed vegetables, salad with a little olive oil and vinegar dressing, and chicken and fish. Avoid fried foods, heavy meats, large meals and dairy products.
Can I drink coffee or alcohol while on the cleanse?
During the 8-day lemonade fast one should abstain from all alcoholic and caffeinated beverages. Moderate consumption of alcohol is permitted after the fast. After the eight day fast coffee is also okay, but Art strongly recommends organic coffee only.
If you are a regular coffee drinker, you may find yourself suffering from caffeine headaches during the lemonade fast. Art suggests drinking ONLY a half a cup of coffee, black, no milk or sugar, in the morning and, if needed, around 4 pm, to remedy this.
Is the cleansing program okay for children?
The program is only recommended for young adults, 12 years of age or older. For children under 12, you should consult with your family doctor first before beginning any cleansing program. This information also applies to the use of PC-1-2-3.
