Welcome to Healthy Living!

Most of us want to live a healthier life, but it is sometimes a daunting task trying to sift through the often-conflicting information we are given, in an effort to find what will work for us. We have all heard the ongoing debate about whether low-carb diets are healthy or bad for us and the varied opinions about which carbs we should be eating. There is the accepted opinion that coffee/caffeine has a harmful effect on your life and then the newer opinion that it is actually beneficial. The same is true for alcohol - red wine to be specific - does it kill brain cells or does is that negated due to the positive, healthy effects it seems to have on the heart? These debates are only the tip of the iceberg . . .
While the previous issues address what we should and shouldn't be eating, there is also the question of what to do if we have developed some ill effects (not feeling well, no energy, weight gain, disease) and want to reverse them. There are so many possible solutions. Do we fast - and if so what kind of fast (juice, water, fruit)? Do we need to detox? If so - how? Herbal cleanses, colonics, saunas, body wraps, sea water baths, Epsom salt baths? What herbs will help heal our bodies and in what quantities? And what about the alternative therapies: massage, Reiki, bio-feedback, hypnotherapy, meditation, light therapy, aromatherapy (to name only a few!)? Which of these would help us in our particular situation?
How to make sense of all this information? We would like to have this site be a place to discuss which things have worked for us (or haven't) and hopefully by sharing our experiences we will be able to help each other wade through all the possibilities and find our own paths to a Healthy Life!

Why Detox?

You might eat organic food, exercise regularly and live "green" but there are unfortunately still lots of things that our bodies can't handle and over time these things create a toxic environment in our bodies. A few of the symptoms of a toxic body include:

  • Lack of energy
  • Bloating
  • Mood Swings/Depression
  • Occasional Constipation
  • Weak immune system
  • Poor Appetite
  • Weight Gain
  • Foul Breath
  • Backaches
  • Skin Eruptions
  • Frequent Headaches

There are many different methods to detox (though all include eliminating sugar and processed foods from your diet). Many people fast - either a water, juice or fruit fast; yet others use saunas and steam rooms to eliminate toxins through the skin or colonics to eliminate built-up toxic waste from the colon, and most also take take a variety of herbs that will help cleanse the organs and eliminate the toxins that are stored in them.
Having tried a variety of the herbal cleanses from the health food store with various levels of success, we stumbled across and after reading various posts of others success, decided to try it. It was amazing! Results like we had never had with any of the other herbal cleanses we tried!
After doing the 7-day Oxy-Powder Colon Cleanse, we decided to try some of the other cleansing products offered by Global Healing Center and had great results with all of them! While our cleansing results were amazing, we would love to hear what your experiences are with these or other similar products!

I have had a great experience with Oxy-powder much like yours! I had been taking a 2-wk herbal body cleanse from the health food store and wasn't getting very good results (still had chronic constipation) so I started a series of 12 colonic treatments. The treatments were great and really took care of the constipation issue but I was still not seeing the benefits I expected. I started browsing online to see if I could find a stronger herbal cleanse and found Oxy-Powder. I was skeptical but bought it due to their money-back guarantee and I was amazed by the results the very first day! After all those colonics I thought I was pretty clean - but it was amazing what other toxins were still in my body. By the end of the week I had the results I was looking for. My skin was clearer and the texture had changed (it was much softer with smaller pores), my complexion looked healthier and the dark circles under my eyes were gone! In addition, my bloated stomach was gone and my oily scalp was back to normal! I immediately ordered the complete cleansing system for liver and parasites and had amazing results with those as well! I have been telling family, friends and co-workers that they need to try it and a few of them have and have had great results as well. Looking forward to seeing more info about cleansing on your blog.
