Vitamin C Flush

I don't really believe in cleanses or depriving the body for any given period of time. There is one cleanse, well more of a flush rather, that I am completely for and have done several times myself. I try and do a Vitamin C cleanse once every 6 months or so. Now I have to warn you, this is not pleasant and you definitely have to plan to be home for at least 3-4 hours with nothing to do! The way the cleanse works is that it literally 'flushes' out your insides, eliminating all waste within the body, ultimately detoxifying and cleansing the body. Getting rid of trapped or built up waste in the colon will reset the body to a state of health.

How to do it:

First off you need powdered Vitamin C. My favorite is Effer-C by Douglas Labs but I have used over-the-counter NOW before as well and it did the trick!

The amount of powder used will vary depending on the state your body is in when you are beginning the flush. If you are an overall healthy individual, begin with 1/2 teaspoon. Semi-healthy, 1 teaspoon and if you are in poor health, 1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons. Dissolve the powder in about 2-3 ounces of water, wait for the bubbles to die down (takes a minute or two) then chug it down. Wait 15 minutes and repeat the process. You will keep repeating this every 15 minutes until you reach what is called 'bowel tolerance,' or a state of watery stool. (Now you see exactly why I said you should do this on a day you have nothing else to do or nowhere to be)! The next important factor, you want to do this on an empty stomach, or first thing in the morning if possible.

This is a safe and efficient way to clean yourself out from the inside and begin anew! Let me know if you have any questions.
