  • Stage 1: The 30-Day Herbal Cleansing Program

    "Humans live on one-quarter of what they eat;
    on the other three-quarters lives their doctor."
    Egyptian pyramid inscription, 3800 B.C.


    Anyone considering a weight loss program should 'weigh the benefits' of an intestinal cleanse before beginning. Intestinal cleansing is THE First Step.

    Why?
    Because years of neglect and nutritional abuse have often clogged up our systems to the point of barely functioning.
    Our bodies were created to eliminate three times a day, once after each meal.

    Most people eliminate once a day or less. Organs function much better if they are free from the build-up of old waste. Most of us are walking around with old filth stored throughout the body, causing an array of side effects, including overweight, water retention, sluggish metabolisms and difficulty getting enough nutrition from our food.

    How?
    Start with medicinal herbs
    , because these plants have the following essential functions in the body...
    1. Cleanse & detoxify the body
    2. Regulate the gland systems and increase fat metabolism
    3. Raise energy levels within the body (without ephedra or other stimulants)
    4. Stimulate body's immune system

    Cleansing Herbs Make Your System More Efficient.
    Other than fasting, the most effective, trouble-free way to eliminate this toxic build-up is to use an herbal cleansing supplement. This is very different from the fiber contained in foods and supplements. Appropriate cleansing herbs help to quickly and thoroughly break down the build-up, and remove it from your system improving water and food metabolism.

    Detox Through ALL The Organs of Elimination.
    For maximum effect and benefit, these internal cleansing herbs work via ALL of the organs of elimination (not just through the liver as many detox programs do):
  • Colon (bowel movements)
  • Lungs (mucus)
  • Kidneys (urine)
  • Skin (perspiration)

    The First and Most Important Area to Cleanse is the Bowels.
  • The Step 1 "Cleansing Formula" helps promote the body’s self-cleansing action by supplying health-building herbs, amino acids and botanically derived enzymes. You will notice an increase in daily bowel movements while taking the appropriate herbs. You will eliminate more often, and some people see pieces of old, dark, hardened fecal matter that was lying dormant in the colon for years. Also, stringy, old mucus (phlegm) may be noted.
  • A Step 2 "Replenishing Formula" that contains wholesome herbs that help soothe, rebuild and revitalize the colon. Only when our organs of elimination function properly, can we effectively digest, absorb and assimilate nutrition from what we eat.
  • A personalized Chinese Medicine digestive herbal formula containing natural botanical enzymes which will clear out and maximize your digestive capacity in preparation for Stage Two.

    Stage 2: Optimizing Nutrition Program

    Overcome Over-Eating.
    After the intestinal cleanse with detox herbs in Stage One, your body is finally ready and able to fully absorb the balanced nutrition you eat so that you remain well-nourished. This sequence gives you complete, balanced nutrition for optimal health & wellness, and supports any weight loss program by increasing feelings of satiety.

    FACT: The body becomes more and more depleted of the nutrients it needs whenever we hold back food. Restrictive diets, appetite suppressants, stimulating drugs, food exchange programs, injections, set-point theories, hypnosis, fasting, willpower, etc... only deny the body what it needs.

    During any weight loss program food intake is reduced. Since the normal American diet is already deficient in supplying balanced micronutrients (and in some cases macronutrients), the problem becomes much worse when food intake is limited to certain foods. For this reason, nutritional supplements are highly recommended by medical nutritionists.

    PROPER ABSORPTION OF BALANCED NUTRITION
    is the key to success that is most often missing
    from weight management plans.


    When you eat nutrient-deficient food, your stomach may be full, but your nutrient-starved body continues to send out the 'I'm hungry' signal. This can lead to overeating and weight gain. Remember, being well-nourished means you will have less hunger because you feel well-fed.

    Stage Two consists of a well-researched combination of potent herbs and essential nutrients enables your body to digest and fully absorb the nutrition from the food you eat, so that you are well-nourished. These herbal nutrition supplements are much superior to bargain supplements. Try them for one month and you be the judge.

    "... Now I don’t have any problems overeating...because I don’t have cravings for junk food anymore, and I have lots of energy. I lost weight and learned how to keep it off." —Elizabeth O., age 80


    Other Benefits of Balanced Cellular Nutrition:
  • Allows you to reduce your calorie intake while maintaining the nutrient factors essential to good health.
  • Effectively controls cravings and normalizes the appetite (in the following two ways):
    1. Nutritional science explains that you may actually crave certain foods more when your body is unable to digest it— you crave more of it because you're not getting what you need from it. This leads to a cycle of craving and overeating the exact food you can't digest. Balanced nutritional supplements with natural enzymes help eliminate this cycle of craving, and leave you feeling balanced & satisfied throughout the day with less between-meal-cravings & hunger pangs.
    2. Moderates low blood sugar levels. When poor nutrition keeps you from digesting complex carbohydrates, it may result in low blood sugar, which is "solved" by eating simple carbohydrates (e.g., sugary snacks) that drastically raise your blood sugar, which produces insulin, which again lowers your blood sugar, and you're wrapped up in a vicious cycle of eating and feeling horrible. The nutrients moderating blood sugar are available in an easily digestible form, so your cells can reach their highest level of functioning even when there has been a history of poor eating, excessive dieting or illness.
  • Higher energy levels throughout the day.
  • You can continue eating foods you like while being careful about the quantity and fat content.
  • You don’t have to skip meals (which is essentially self- denial and is NOT helpful for a healthy self-esteem).
  • No more ‘yo-yo’ dieting!
  • Better health (as much as 70% of common ailments are diet- and weight-related).
  • You will lose inches and pounds in all the right places because you lose your weight gradually and naturally (the way nature intended).

    Program Timeline

    Each round of the Chinese Medicine Herbal Nutritional weight control program lasts 8 weeks (4 weeks of cleansing herbs for detoxification, and 4 weeks of optimal nutrition to help overcome overeating).

    Many participants find that after completing one full session, they are back on track, beyond their no-weight-loss plateau, and have developed greater self-discipline to successfully continue their weight loss program.

    When stress, depression and/or anxiety leads to overeating, or hormonal imbalance contributes to overweight, the Acu-Weight Loss Program is also recommended.

    Individual results vary, however, and patients with a lot of weight to lose are advised to increase the number of monthly visits for maintenance, or seek additional treatment, as necessary.

    The cost of the entire 7-week program is $175.00,
    which is paid in full when you sign up.


    The Chinese Herbal Nutrition weight control Program includes:
  • Three bi-weekly consultations to select appropriate Chinese herbal formulas
  • An 8-week supply of Chinese herbal medicine formulas and all-natural, herbal-nutrition remedies to facilitate detoxification, regulate blood sugar levels, and maintain energy.
