It was Paul Bragg who inspired Jack to change his life.

Jack moved from a junk food centered diet, to lifestyle of healthy eating, exercise and good health habits.

Insipring other to Good Health

Since then Jack has dedicated himself to helping people improve their health and fitness. Jack LaLanne was a pioneer in the fitness field, designing and inventing several weight training machines, some of which are still in use today.

But as a child it was a different story. He had been to many doctors with no help. Consuming lots of sugar and junk food, Jack had many health problems.

• He was so weak, he needed a back brace to sit up straight
• Pimples, boils and carbuncles
• Constant headaches

He was dragged, much to his displeasure to a Paul Bragg meeting. When he heard Paul and saw him speak, he realized he was a glowing picture of health and energy. He has not looked back since.

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.

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.

Enzyme Balance

I feel so much better when I get myself into what I call, “Positive Enzyme Balance”

First I eat lots of locally grown, organic vegetables.

Then I make sure my digestive system has very light duty. During my Detox Boot Camp, I consume small amounts of fat and protein.

Nutritional Needs

Consuming a bit of fat and protein ensures that I won’t suffer some kind of major deficiency druing the detox. I can still function in everyday life. Unlike fasting or juice fasting, where you can really hit a low energy crisis. I learned long ago, the body actually needs protein for the detoxification organs to work efficiently.

Extra Enzymes

In addition I’m also taking enzyme supplements by mouth, several times throughout the course of the day. I take some before a meal, (or protein smoothie. if you call that a meal), and then 2-3 more during or after the meal. right now I’m taking 2 different enzyme supplements, Food Enzymes and Proactazyme Plus. both by Natures’ Sunshine.

Positive Enzyme Balance

So if all goes well, I am achieving positive enzyme balance. I am taking in more enzymes than I need for digestion. This leaves enzymes left over to be absorbed into my body, to go around and do good stuff in my system. This is known as – Systemic Enzyme Therapy. I’ll go into more detail in a future post.

I love this video with Mark Hyman, M.D. -

He really nails down some of the principles I stongly agree with and am following on the detox boot camp plan.

Clean your body on the inside – get the toxins out.

Eat a better quality diet.

Stay off the junk food.

Pre-Cleanse

It’s time again for my Detox Boot Camp. I did it last year about this time and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Be the end of the detox, I had more energy and mental clarity, than I’d had in a long time. Not that it was easy. There were a few challenging days for sure.

8 Day Detox Cleanse

In a couple of days I’m going to start the detox. This time around I’m going to do it for 8 days. Should be enough time for a good vibrant health tune up.

Pre-Cleanse

Right now I’m in the pre-cleanse phase. Cutting back on caffeine, adding more fre3sh vegetables and starting to really clean up the diet. This should make for an easier transition to the Detox Boot Camp.

More Videos About the Detox

This time around I promise to make more videos about the detox experience and give some more detail about exactly what I am doing. Enter you name and email in the from on this site and I’ll keep you posted. I promise not to spam you with a bunch of worthless junk.
