Rebounding or bouncing on a mini Trampoline has some benefits you may not have heard of.

For starters it helps to detoxify and cleanse the lymph system in the body.

Dr. Gruenn says rebounding works positively on every cell and system of the body.

The lymphatic system has no pump, like the heart does for the bloodstream. There are 3 basic forces that help move lymph in the body, while rebounding.

38 Mini Trampoline

Since rebounding can help move

• Gravity
• Acceleration
• Deceleration

This helps to pull toxins away from the cells.

lactic acid away from the muscles, muscle soreness after exercising is much less common. Trampolining also tends to be easier on the joints than pounding the asphalt, by running or other high impact exercises. Just be sure to start out slow if you are new to rebouding. As with anything it is possible to overdo it.

Osteoporosis is on the rise these days, due to lack of exercise. It is stress on the bones that helps to maintain the bones such as in weight bearing exercise.

Rebounding can exercise your muscles in a unique way, due to the increase of gravitational pull while jumping.

I personally have a rebounder out on my deck and I get out there several times a week to jump and have fun. Maybe one of the best benefits of rebounding is that it is fun. I put on some msuci and jump away!

For a good internal detox, I like to drink a good herbal tea. Dr. Miller’s Iaso tea is the best I have tried so far.

This is a great little recipe for a detoxing smoothie that goes down good any time of year. Shelley Young is the Queen of alkaline food preperation.

She likes to drink this one in the summer. You could add water in place of the ice cubes during the colder months and it still tastes amazing.

Try some detox tea, click the image below.

2 or 3 glasses of freshly made vegetable juice per day provides the equivalent of several large salads.

With juicing you get a concentrated flood of enzymes and nutrients. You would have to eat a large amount of vegetables to get the same value.

The big difference between juice and a whole vegetable is the fiber. Juice contains no fiber. Therefore it is much easier for your body to absorb the nutrients. Yes, most people need more fiber, but juicing is one way to bolster your enzymes and nutrition quickly. Just make sure to eat some whole vegetables too, so you get some fiber. The exception would be during a juice fast, but this is a temporary situation, not something you would do everyday.

Hippocrates center teaches juice fasting once per week.

It is exciting to see people waking up everyday feeling alive and feeling good in their body. Watching people create the lives they want to live.

The World Getting Fatter

People are getting fatter and fatter,  says Virginia, a lady who was fed up with being supersized. When she couldn’t reach down to tie her own shoes, it was time for a change.

Depressed, Need a Vacation?

Cary thought he needed a 6 month vacation, due to depression and liver issues. After a few days of juice fasting, he was feeling fantastic. No need for the 6 month vacation. In this video, you can see him juicing wheat grass, with a Green Star juicer. Very similar to the Green life juicer I have at home.

A Bonus Detox

One of the things I have added lately to my own detox regime is Dr Miller’s Iaso tea.  It is a blend of natural herbs, selected for their detox and weight loss properties. It is also great for an everyday drink to help keep the body and specifically the colon clean. Click on the image below to check it out.

Drink Detox Tea

I love to do a little detox while I’m camping.

It gives me an opportunity to consume a very cleansing diet.

Lots of fresh raw organic vegetables that are very rich in enzymes, a little bit of clean meat that’s free of hormones and antibiotics, and that kind of stuff.

Trying Something New

I’m going to consume a detoxifying herbal tea blend with white tea.

I’m actually going to make sun tea. I  use white tea to make the sun tea, which contains a little bit of caffeine.

White Better than Green Tea?

It’s a little bit healthier from what I’ve heard for you than green tea actually. So you could use green tea, or black tea to make yours if you want, even herbal tea is good, if you prefer to be caffeine free. I just prefer to use this white tea. It contains a little bit less caffeine, but you still get some caffeine.

So like if you’re replacing some of your coffee with this cleansing tea, you don’t go through all of that caffeine withdrawal. You can still get your caffeine buzz without taking the jolt from coffee, which is very acidic. So if you follow pH balancing at all, you’ll find out that white tea is a lot happier on the pH balance scale than coffee is.

Cleansing Detox Tea

So then I blend into my sun tea, Doctor Miller’s Iaso tea, which is a blend of cleansing, purifying herbs, which cleanse your body out in several different ways, but one of the ways it works is to provide you with a gentle colon cleanse. Unlike some of these products that provide an explosive diarrhea cleanse, this is natural herbs.

It’s a little more gentle and soothing, so it works great for me. I’m just going to be consuming this tea while I’m camping, to provide myself with a little bit more detox action.

Toxins

If you feel lousy, it might be because you are toxic.

So why are you a toxic waste dump and what can you do about it?

Dr Mark Hyman fills us in, with this video.

I’m a big fan of Dr Hyman, he is one of the best holistic thinkers out there, and he has a wide range of experience.

Scientists and practitioners are starting to wake up and recognize the role of toxins in health and disease.

How can we not be affected by the 6 million pounds of mercury emissions per year? This is just the tip of the iceberg. What about the 80,000 other chemical that are released every year into the environment?

Many people just don’t realize they are toxic. They do have symptoms of toxicity, but they just don’t make the connection.

The best strategy is to avoid, eliminate and reduce as many toxins as possible. Then take steps to get the inside of the body cleaned up.

Summary of his steps for detoxification:
- with my comments following

• Drink plenty of clean water. – I always have purified water with me wherever I go.
• Move your bowels, constipation is a killer. – Link to my favorite natural colon product
• Eat lots of organic produce. – My 365 day a year organic garden covers this one for me.
• Include garlic and onions for their sulfur content. – I love garlic, but my wife hates the smell
• Avoid stimulants, alcohol etc -  Switched from coffee to green and white tea. Less caffeine, not so acidic
• Exercise – I love to, yoga, bike riding, hiking, weights, just get out and do it!
• Avoid white flour and sugar – With pleasure, that is some nasty stuff, not going into my body.
• Multi vitamin mineral – I prefer a liquid for better absorption
• Relax Deeply - Restorative yoga is the deal.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a pretty inexpensive way to enhance your health.

I picked up a bottle of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar for $4 at the grocery store last night.

Check out the video to learn about some of the benefits and cleansing effects.

Some of the Best Ways to Consume Apple Cider Vinegar

• Make an oil and vinegar salad dressing for your organic salad. Use olive, sesame or canola oil. Add some herbs and sea salt for flavor.
• Drink it straight – follow with some pure water to rinse your teeth.
• Mix with pure water and drink.
• Add to your favorite recipes.

If you have had a positive experience with Apple cider vinegar, or have a favorite way to get it down, let us know in the comment form below.

Pure, Organic and Unfiltered is the Key

Highly processed varieties of apple cider vinegar do not have the same benefits. You may have to visit your local health food store to find a good one. I was lucky enough tot find it in a regular grocery store.

Here is a lady who has gotten good results with Dr. Miller’s Holy Tea

Her story is one of many testimonials. You can view several more videos here.  Just click on the news link once you get to the site.

I have some of this tea on order now myself. I feel like a good periodic parasite cleanse is a good idea. The tea is also great for general detoxification. Dr Miller’s Holy tea has actually been upgraded. The new formula is called Iaso tea. It has a few additional ingredients.

Factors that increase susceptibility to parasites

• pH imbalance
• Too much sugar or sweet foods
• Poor circulation
• Eating raw meat
• Low stomach acid and/or digestive enzymes
• Excess toxins
• Weak immune system
• Having pets
• Drinking or swimming in contaminated water

Liver cleanse

Did you know the liver is involved in over 500 functions in the human body? If you take good care of your liver it will take care of you.

That’s why I’m giving my liver some extra TLC during my Detox Boot Camp.

Check out the video, then read more below…

Liver Cleanse with Herbs and Diet

First off, I’m eating a much cleaner and lighter diet during the detox. This lightens the workload of the liver dramatically. Most people eat so much processed food, prescription drugs, caffeinated drinks and so on and on and on, that the liver is way behind schedule. It appreciates a lighter workload.

Famous for the Liver

Milk thistle is one of the most well known herbs for the liver. Herbalists have been recommending it for the liver for a long time. I just pick up some bulk milk thistle at the local herb shop.     A few dollars for an ounce.  I blend the milk thistle with a much larger quantity of flax seed, (1-2 lbs.) and into the blender it goes (2-3 ounces) for my morning smoothie. I’m only getting a very small amount of the milk thistle each day. that one ounce lasts a long time.

The herbalist down at that same herb store recommended St John’s Wort for me as well. She does muscle testing, so that’s how she came to that conclusion. So several tablespoons of bulk St John’s Wort go into the coffee pot with about a quart of hot water each morning, and I’ve got some tea. St John’s wort can cause sun-sensitivity, so do your research before partaking.

Liver Formula

For good measure I’m also taking an herbal formula, called Liver Cleanse Formula. It provides a number of beneficial herbs for the liver.  Click for more info on the ingredients.

There are other more exotic and difficult ways to do a liver cleanse, I’ve tried some of them. but for now I’m getting good results with this little regime, so I’m going to stick with it.

One final but important note: If you are thinking of doing a liver cleanse, it’s important to have the bowels working good first. If you are constipated, a liver cleanse isn’t going to work very well. A good colon cleansing regime would be a good starting place, then think about the liver.
