Cleansing Programs and What To Consider

Cleansing Programs and What Is Out There

I was doing some research about a product I heard on the radio called Evercleanse, as I was intrigued by the concept.  After all, I offer The Doctor Supervised Fall Clean Up Program this time of year, and was curious about other products on the market.  So I went to the Evercleanse web-site and did some looking around.  Then I did some comparisons with The Doctor Supervised Fall Clean Up Program.

On the home page of Evercleanse (www.evercleanse.com) is a woman in a white bikini that has oil on her stomach and of course is very thin and shiny (from the oil).  And they have all the different products and programs available on the site with clearly marked prices for your consideration and a description of the different programs offered.  So I called the 800 number that is listed on the site and was greeted by a gentleman named Jermaine who was very smooth with all of his sales tactics and used key phrases related to the importance of cleaning out your body similarly to the way you'd want to clean out your car if it wasn't working properly.  Almost sounded like myself on my radio show, When Your Health Matters.  In my defense, it is a great analogy.

So when he would allow me to ask questions, I inquired about the product, the three different programs available, the cost difference involved, how long until I see results, and listened to him go on about "even if you have had my colon removed from surgery, our product would still help you be able to "go" better."  That was a fascinating statement.  He also told me there is a 30 day money back guarantee if not completely satisfied.  So I asked the important questions from a doctor standpoint and learned that you do not need a doctor's prescription to buy these products which would mean it is not a "Medical Food" which I learned about last week when looking into the product called Digestive Advantage (www.digestiveadvantage.com). 

To review my findings, Medical Foods are to be administered and monitored by a medical professional and do not need the approval of the Food and Drug Administration, again which I found fascinating since anyone can buy the product over the internet or at many major stores and pharmacies without a doctor's prescription or supervision.  Somehow that doesn't seem legal (in fact it is illegal) and yet the FDA doesn't seem overly concerned with it.  That's our government; Always looking out for the citizens and their best interests.

So next, I called the parent company and manufacturer of Evercleanse which took a while to find, but I was persistent.  Their main company name is Hindsight Nutritionals out of Milford, Connecticut.  When I got the sales person on the phone, she wasn't clear that the company she worked for was Hindsight Nutritionals, as she was certain she worked for Evercleanse.  She did some research and came back on the phone and did affirm she worked for Hindsight Nutritionals. 
Next, I questioned her about the products, where they Medical Foods or supplements and she said they were not FDA Approved yet were a supplement. We then discussed the ingredients in the basic Evercleanse program and it is a 3 product program: 10 days of Evercleanse, 10 days of Replenish and 10 days of a Colon Health Formula.  The Evercleanse is primarily a fiber product, like a Metamucil, designed to "clean" you out.  The Replenish formula provides 5 billion CFU's (Colony Forming Units) in one capsule to replace the "good bacteria" and then the final product for the last 10 days called Colon Health Formula consisting of flaxseed, fructooligosaccharides and some other ingredients designed to feed the new bacteria and, as I would imagine, allow them to grow. 

Appreciate that this Evercleanse product seems to have the right idea in mind, but they fall short when it comes to delivery.   Taking 10 days of Evercleanse fiber to clean you out is not going to do the job for those with longstanding imbalances from antibiotic therapy and the Standard American Diet.  Using their Replenish formula of 5 billion CFU bacteria once a day is not going to replenish the necessary bacteria needed for you to be healthy.  And lastly, 10 days of Colon Health Formula is not going to allow the amount of bacteria used in the Replenish Formula to grow sufficiently to restore balance.  Perhaps that is why they put people on "auto ship" and have people continue using their products even after the 30 day program is over.

So, although the premise for the product seems like they are attempting to do the right thing, they fall quite short over a 30 day period.  AND I am sure many people will buy their program.

So How Does The Doctor Supervised Fall Clean Up Program compare?

Number One.  The title says it all.  You have me supervising the program the whole way.  Have a question?  Call me or e-mail me, or simply stop in and I will answer your question directly.  If there seems to be a problem and you are in the office with your question or concern, we can evaluate you right then and there, and remedy any concern.  You will not and cannot get that with the Evercleanse program. 

Number TwoEvercleanse is a program you simply call up or go and get at some of your big box stores and go home and try.  It is not based on evaluation, simply on you thinking it might be the thing to do.  The Doctor Supervised Fall Clean Up Program is only recommended after we do an evaluation of you and your system to determine if now is the right time for such a program.  And we follow that up by seeing if the program needs to be modified in any way specific to your body needs, before you begin.

Number Three.  Their program is 30 days broken up into 3-10 day periods, as laid out above.  The Doctor Supervised Fall Clean Up Program is only 9 days and uses stronger ingredients and natural foods to clean your body out, while helping to maintain your energy and function in the process.  Jermaine, who I spoke to initially, told me you simply mix their ingredients in with your food, he used it in his coffee, and go right on with your day. 

If you are not changing your diet, how do you expect your body to clean itself out?  Again, The Doctor Supervised Fall Clean Up Program uses real food and your diet is modified as laid out in the manual during the 9 days.

Number Four.  The Evercleanse program is designed for your digestion only.  The Doctor Supervised Fall Clean Up Program is designed for your Digestive System, your Respiratory System and your Skin System.  Therefore it helps you in a faster way, 9 days vs. 30 days, and it helps the two other main systems within the body that support your Digestive System. 

And finally, Number Five.  We continue to monitor you after the program is over and offer continued support.  We answer your questions and have the ability to evaluate you if concerns arise.  I am happy to say, no one who has done The Doctor Supervised Fall Clean Up Program has ever had any problems while doing the program or after the program.

So there is a comparison for you to consider.  Are you considering doing something to clean your Intestines out of all the Completely Refined And Processed (CRAP)food?  If so, stop into the office and have The Doctor Supervised Fall Clean Up Program Evaluation.  Simply call Jean at (845)561-BACK or 561-2225 and ask her to schedule the time for the evaluation.  Let's take advantage of the energy of the body and clean your Large Intestine Lungs and Skin out before the body shuts down for the Winter.   And since the best time is to do this before the end of November, and with Thanksgiving being on the 26th, why not get started now, and be done before Thanksgiving gets here.  I look forward to helping you.

Your Choice

Health concerns are a major source of lost happiness and lost joy in all of our lives. Finding a solution that is agreeable and enables you to get back to your life is important. Please appreciate that you always have the more invasive surgery and prescription medication available to you as a last resort. What many Traditional Medical Doctors may not share is, many times, once you begin that journey into medication and/or surgery, it alters your original body from the one that you were born with. Unfortunately, at that time, more conservative and natural treatments may no longer be viable. I encourage you to consider that before making any decisions about treatment for your health. As always I am here to help. 
 
Your Choice:
 
  • Continue doing the same thing and nothing changes or it may get worse

OR

  • Try something different and get a different result that makes you happier and healthier.
 
The Choice is Yours
