INTRODUCTION

The world of nutritional supplementation has grown enormously in the last several years. Americans will spend over $5 billion a year on vitamins and mineral supplements alone. The world of cleansing and detoxification has grown very rapidly as well. The Internet is filled with free advice and recommendations about cleansing detoxification and supplements to the point where it has become very difficult to figure out the right way to go. The bigger the industry gets the more confusing it all becomes.

The nutritional industry itself is to blame at least to some extent. Instead of having simple multivitamins and minerals that are easy for people to take, the industry has sepa-rated out nutrients to the point were people need five or six different bottles to get all they need insofar as the different nutrients are concerned. The detoxification and cleansing world is in the same state as there are specific cleanses and detoxes for different organs and conditions.

The purpose of this guide is to allow people to have a basic understanding of how the body functions so that they can approach this concept of supplementation cleansing and detoxification in the simplest fashion possible. Why? Because if it's too difficult and con-fusing then people just won't do it.

In this guide you will learn the most basic and fundamental approach to cleansing and detoxification. As always, getting to the root cause of an issue is the most efficient way to deal with it. You will learn what is the root cause of toxicity and what is the linch-pin for freeing the body of toxins. You will also learn what the best supplements are to take on a daily basis.

Although this guide is meant to be just that, a guide, product recommendations will be made, as there are so few that fill the bill. The product recommendations at the end of the book are the simplest and most cost-effective way to get the highest quality results available.

We hope you find this book useful and informative and that, if you are happy with it, you spread the word.

ARE YOU TOXIC?

Do you drink water? Do you breathe air? Do you eat food bought at the supermar-

ket? Do you drink water in plastic bottles? Do you eat food with artificial colorings and

preservatives? Do you occasionally eat fast food? Do you take prescription drugs?

If the answer is yes to any of these questions then you are undoubtedly toxic. Bodies

are very well equipped to deal with environmental toxins that are natural to the human

experience. Conversely, they have a very limited ability to deal with inorganic and un-

natural toxins.

The toxins we are exposed to are only one side of the equation. The other side of the

equation is the toxins that our body cannot expel. The more processed our foods become,

the less fiber content they provide. When you add both sides together, we find ourselves

in the midst of a toxic crisis globally.

We find ourselves adapting to this situation by redefining terms. Constipation is now

defined as having less then three bowel movements per week! The body's physiology is

designed to eliminate toxins 2 to 3 times a day! This is one of many examples of our cul-

ture adapting to a negative environment. We have accepted fast food as a necessary way

of life. Unfortunately, any dinner that gets passed through a car window is loaded with

toxins!

The Truth About Detox# 3

Let's address these toxic sources one at a time.

Water:

The water supply of several metropolitan areas was found to have everything from

antidepressants to antibiotics contaminating their water supply.

Why is this?

When we consume a medication or drug, only a percentage of it is absorbed by the

body. The rest of it is passed off and expelled by the body. This winds up in our commu-

nity water supply. Eventually, this water evaporates and becomes part of the cloud forma-

tion that circulates globally and distributes water to rainfall. This water is contaminated,

and therefore so is everything that consumes it and lives in it. Even salmon in the high Si-

erras have been found to contain pharmaceuticals including antibiotics!

www.CEVhealth.com# 4

Did you know that plastic water bottles have a number stamp on the bottom and that

any number lower than seven actually allows the plastic to leak into the water you are

drinking?

Air:

Air-quality is probably the

granddaddy of environmental

concerns in terms of public

awareness. It's obvious by look-

ing at the skyline of any major

metropolitan area that the air is

dirty. Unfortunately, the contami-

nants are not restricted to hydro-

carbons. (3) But even if they were, human beings were

not designed to inhale them in those quantities.

Food:

In the past, food was grown in a sustainable and all natural environment. There was

no need to label food "organic "because all of it was! Natural fertilizers, the rotation of

crops, and hydration with pure water were the norm. Our fruits and vegetables no longer

The Truth About Detox# 5

have all the nutrients that nature intended and that is not only affects us, but also the cows

and chickens and pigs etc.

None of this is standard

practice anymore. The re-

sult? Food that is deficient in

many nutrients including

enzymes as well as flavor.

(4) As we will see, this en-

zymatic deficiency contrib-

utes to scar tissue and toxic-

ity in a very interesting way.

Evidence of this lack of en-

zyme activity is the fact that

an apple can sit on your

countertop for weeks and

never change. A general

rule of thumb is that some-

thing that does not die is not

alive in the first place!

The animals that provide or highest-quality source of protein "are what they eat".

What do they eat? Foods that are deficient in nutrients as well as antibiotics, hormones,

and God knows what else. Billions of dollars of research is not necessary to tell us what

common sense should make obvious.

www.CEVhealth.com# 6

Chemicals:

Preservatives, colorings, flavorings, all contrib-

ute to the level of toxicity that we are exposed to

every day.  These are not limited to the food we eat.

The synthetic colorings, flame retardant's and fibers

that we wear are again not part of our natural envi-

ronment. Although the amounts that wind up inside

our body each day our minute, day after day and year

after year they become much more significant.

Drugs:

Drugs, pushed or prescribed, have very very dangerous side effects as we all know by

the advertisements on television. As necessary as these medications may be to sustain life,

none of them actually make us

truly healthy. Most of us living in

the United States are on multiple

medications by the time we are

at retirement age. (5) The com-

bination of side effects coupled

with the residue that accumulates in the body all contribute to our levels of toxicity over

time.

The Truth About Detox# 7

While we may be living a few years longer, we are spending many more years at the

latter part of life, sick from heart disease cancer and arthritis. (6) Excessive levels of toxic-

ity may be contributing to this more than we realize.

Genetics:

We have been taught that it is our genetics that determine whether or not we experi-

ence cancer heart disease arthritis etc. This is known as genetic determinism. If we take a

step back and look at this logically, things

do not add up.

The number of people diagnosed

with cancer and heart disease is climbing

steadily year after year. (7) If we accept

genetic Determinism as the cause, then

our genetic code must be deteriorating

over time.

A much more reasonable explanation is genetic predisposition. This principle states

that while we may be predisposed for certain diseases because of our genetic makeup, it is

always environmental factors that determine the expression of this predisposition or ten-

dency. This is why genetic predisposition to diseases not expressed evenly, even within a

single-family unit.

Again, even the most casual unbiased observation sees the obvious relationship be-

tween increased environmental toxicity and the incidence of cancer heart disease etc.

www.CEVhealth.com# 8

In fact, Nobel prize-winning Bruce Lipton PhD has gone as far as to say that toxins

actually cause genetic mutation through adaptive aberrations. (8) This is a major concern

as now we may be affecting the health and vitality of future generations through the toxic-

ity that we allow to linger in our bodies and therefore alter our genetic code.

The world health organization's definition of health is: a state of complete physical

mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.     Unfor-

tunately our entire "health care "system is not designed to do much until you are outside

that scope of the definition of health.

I was in private practice for 25 years and cannot count the number of times that peo-

ple came to me thinking they were healthy while on 3 to 5 different medications. Our re-

cord was one woman that was currently on 33 medications. It started with a painkiller for

back pain that led to problems in elimination that led to gastric reflux that lead to anemia

that led to depression and on and on and on it went.

I could not help but think that if I were on 33 medications I would look and feel like

she did.

As she began to eliminate toxicity from her body, needs for her medications began to

subside. With the help of her prescribing physician, she was able to get off of all medica-

tions except one. It is just unfortunate that eliminating the toxins was not seen as the first

logical step prior to the advent of the medication merry go round.

As we will learn in the following chapter, the introduction of toxins leads to a series

of events internally that compromise ones overall health and well-being in every way.

The Truth About Detox# 9

The Physiology.

Most people that do or cleanse or a detox are not interested in understanding every-

thing about the body. However, understanding some of the basics help us choose the de-

tox or cleanse that is best suited for us. We

will review the basics on how our bodies

work so that we can make the best decisions

regarding the process so that no time or

money is wasted.

When we eat an apple for instance, we chew

it and swallow it and digestion process be-

gins. Chemicals are secreted in the mouth

that begins to break down the food and this

process continues in the stomach. The food

itself is supposed to contain enzymes that

help break it down so that it can be assimilated by the body. As the food is churned in the

stomach, it is mixed with chemicals and acids that break it down even more. From there

the food is moved into the small intestine. This is where some of the absorption of nutri-

ents occurs if the food has been broken down the way that it was designed to be in the

stomach. As it moves from the small intestine to the large intestine it stimulates bile secre-

tion from the liver and gallbladder. This is a key process that helps to assimilate fat and

Chapter 2

The Truth About Detox# 10

make the system alkaline. In fact, the body's number one source of alkalinity is the liver

and bile system!

The food is then moved through the colon and finally eliminated.

Congestion and Stasis Lead to Plaque.

When we consume food that is low in natural enzymes because of the way they are

grown, the food is not broken down as completely as it should be. This is the first step in a

digestive tract becoming

congested. Not only that,

the vital nutrients in the

food are not delivered to

the places in the body that

need them the most.

The toxins that are

contained in the food we

eat, pesticides hormones

etc, are absorbed into the

bloodstream.

The organ that is responsible for breaking naturally occurring toxic substances down

is the liver. As more and more of these non-naturally occurring toxins circulate in the

bloodstream, they accumulate in the liver, as it was not designed to break these substances

down. As this process develops, the liver becomes more and more congested with every

toxin we introduce.

www.CEVhealth.com# 11

As the liver and bile system become congested, they are less able to do their job,

which is to produce the body's number one source of alkalinity. This alkaline compound

is what is secreted from the gall bladder.

This in turn makes us acidic. Over time, acidic plaque begins to form on the colon

wall. The more this process is allowed to continue, the more plaque builds. Think of

acidic plaque as something similar to the plaque that builds up around a car battery cable.

Again, the more this process is left unchecked, the more acidic we become and as we will

see that is one of the key components to a loss of health. (9)

The Importance of Alkalinity.

The human body is a symphony of finely tuned functions that have very specific de-

sign parameters. One of these specific design parameters is the bloodstream pH or acid

base balance.

One of the key functions that are so im-

portant in the human body is the body's

system of hormones. Hormones like

estrogen testosterone and insulin were

designed to function with in this very

specific pH range. The more acidic we

become the less these hormones function as designed. (10) When the liver and bile sys-

tem become congested, then the body's natural source of alkalinity is not able to flow at

an optimal rate. A vicious cycle between liver congestion and hormone malfunction en-

sues.

The Truth About Detox# 12

When the liver is congested, the body must produce more estrogens to compensate

for their acidic ineffectiveness. This causes even more congestion because now the liver

has to break down that excess estrogen. As the liver attempts to break down that excess

estrogen it becomes more congested and therefore we become more acidic and the cycle

goes on and on.

The blood levels of denatured estrogens rise, and this begins to interfere with thyroid

function. Compromised thyroid hormone function leads to more weight gain and more

fatty deposits in and on the liver. At this contributes to the liver congestion merry go

round even more!

www.CEVhealth.com# 13

The Vicious Cycle … Start at the Source!

Most cleanses and detox systems focus on the colon. This helps rid the body of mu-

coid plaque and people generally feel better, at least for a while. Because the source of

plaque, which is the liver toxicity, was

never addressed the mucoid plaque be-

gins to rebuild almost immediately. The

results and improvement that people felt

only lasts a short while.

The commonsense approach is to detox

the liver first. This allows the alkaline

bile system to flow so that once the co-

lon walls are clean they have a chance at

staying that way.

  Additionally, the addition of enzymes

and probiotics help keep the internal

mechanism working the way it was de-

signed. And genetically deficient foods contribute to the accumulation of plaque, so the

addition of enzymes to the diet help keep that process in check.

Most people have had several episodes with antibiotics, which ultimately destroy the

good bacteria in the colon. (11) The good bacteria are part of what keeps the colon walls

Chapter 3

The Truth About Detox# 14

clean and functioning as designed. Adding a high-quality probiotic ensures the success

and maintenance of the detox effort.

Support Post Cleanse… Long-term Maintenance.

Okay. We have done our detox and gone through the process. Don't you think it's a

good idea to keep up the good work? It's a lot simpler and a lot easier than you think to

maintain a much higher level of health Energy and vitality.

The most obvious first step is to minimize the amount of toxins that you have volun-

tary control over. This means saying no to fast food and temptations of the Like. The easi-

est way to do that is to have good food available at all times! And what are good foods?

Fruit vegetables and lean proteins are the things that your body was designed to consume

and assimilate. Here is a good general rule of thumb: if man-made it, don't eat it!

Do your shopping twice weekly and avoid things in a box a bag or a can… It is as

simple as that. I myself like to cook a large batch of chicken fish or lean red meat about

twice a week so that it is ready when I am ready. Precut salads of an organic nature are

available at the supermarket. A recipe for a homemade salad dressing will be at the end of

this chapter… And it is phenomenal! It also only takes about two minutes to prepare. Egg

whites are available in the dairy case as well as many other easy to prepare proteins. The

most important thing to remember while shopping is to never do it while you are hungry!

The most important thing to remember is that when you stay away from fast food long

enough, if you go back to it, it won't taste very good. Your taste buds will get healthy as

you get healthy.

Water. The first step in Detox.

The substance necessary for life as we know it. How much do we need as human

beings and what are the consequences if we don't consume the right amount?

Drinking too much water is very difficult. Most people err on the side of not drinking

enough. We have heard that it should be between eight and 10 8 ounce glasses each day.

But does a one size fits all mentality really make sense with water consumption?

There are many factors that influence the amount of water we should consume. The

quality of the water, the alkalinity of the individual, the activity level of the individual all

plays a part in determining how much water you should consume.

Most importantly, the size of the individual should determine the volume of water

that you consume.

  A good rule of thumb is one half ounce per pound of body weight. A 100-pound

woman would consume 50 ounces or approximately 6 eight-ounce glasses. A 200-pound

man would consume double that amount.

  Individuals that are highly active in competitive athletics etc. should consume an

additional 50% volume minimum.

  Other factors that influence the amount of water we drink is our body’s alkalinity.

People that are acidic are generally toxic and therefore need to consume more water for

many reasons. First, the water itself will help to neutralize the acidity. Secondarily, the

more blood volume we have the faster the kidneys will cycle toxins out of the blood-

stream. People that are acidic or have a tendency towards being acidic also need to con-

sume some sort of supplement that contains super greens. These will help to change the

pH in the bloodstream and will aid in the water absorption into the cell.

The Truth About Detox# 16

  Of course we want to drink water that is free from environmental pollutants when-

ever possible. Recent study in Europe demonstrated that water contaminated with antide-

pressants had a similar effect on fish as these substances have on humans! Antisocial be-

havior and other things not natural to the marine environment were documented. When

humans consume drugs as well as preservatives, much of this passes from our urine into

the water supply.

Gross but true! Salmon in the high Sierra have even been found to contain antibiot-

ics! Obviously we need to have a good three-stage filter for our water.

The bottle that we consume our water from is equally important. Each drinking water

bottle has a numerical stamp on the bottom and anything less than number seven means

that the plastic can leak into the water itself. Instead of buying water in plastic bottles, it is

much more economical and much more healthy to consume water from a glass container.

Glass water bottles with the outside lined in rubber are now available and they seem to

make the most sense.

To sum it up, the bigger you are, the more active you are, the more acidic you are,

and the more water you need to drink!

Best part? When you're consuming the right quality and amount of water, your

bloodstream pH becomes more alkaline and everything works a little better. When you're

hormonal level is optimized your metabolism has a chance to speed up. When we are too

acidic the hormones don't work as well so the body needs to produce even more to com-

pensate for the poor function of these chemicals in an acidic environment. The byproduct

of metabolizing this excess hormone is a slowdown in your metabolism as well as the

compromise of your overall health and well-being. So drink up!

www.CEVhealth.com# 17

There are many supplements that will help keep the body in a detoxified state in between formal detoxes.

. Here are a few:

Vitamins and Minerals.

A quality multivitamin and multi-mineral is essential for keeping the body healthy

and detoxified. Your body's immune system is dependent on these micronutrients and

keeping them available to the body is essential. This should contain vitamin C, a full

complex of B vitamins, vitamin D three, vitamin E to name a few.

Minerals like selenium magnesium and calcium all play a vital role in body function.

Beyond that, all vitamins and minerals work together with all other vitamins and minerals

somewhere in the histo-chemical chain.

Super Greens.

Super greens are botanical based nutrients that provide another source of vitamins

and minerals. Because they are naturally occurring, they have combinations that are op-

timal for body absorption and nutrition. Most multivitamin multi mineral supplements are

lacking in one or two micronutrients. This is why a super green is important as it provides

the missing links and establishes balance.

Super greens also provide fiber and help bind toxins so that the body can eliminate

them naturally. They are also loaded with actually occurring anti-oxidants. (12)

The Truth About Detox# 18

Enzymes.

As we learned earlier, enzymes break down the food we eat so that we can digest it

completely and in the proper time and place. When these enzymes are lacking, food is

not broken down completely and nutrients are lost. Also, proteins fats and carbohydrates

that are in the wrong place at the wrong time can harm the body many different ways.

Where Have All the Enzymes Gone?

Enzymes are critical to health and your metabolism. Enzymes are contained in the

food we eat and they break that food down so that our body can absorb it. When your

body consumes calories that it cannot absorb they get stored in the body's basement. The

body’s basement is a nice way to refer to your belly and your butt!

The enzyme content in our food has been reduced 60 to 80%! (13) What this means

is that potentially half of the calories you consume are going into storage because they

cannot be processed correctly. Not only does this make you fat, it also reduces your en-

ergy level and slows your metabolism.

Another critical function of enzymes in the bloodstream is the consumption of scar

tissue. Think of enzymes as the little scrubbing bubbles eating away at arterial plaque and

degenerative changes in the joints. The severe reduction in enzyme content may be part

of what is responsible for the radical increase in circulatory disease and arthritis. (14)

And why are all these enzymes missing? We simply don't grow food the way nature

intended. We use synthetic fertilizers, we grow more than one crop per year, we don't ro-

tate crops as we should and all of these things interrupt the natural process. That is the

complete opposite of Nature Uninterrupted™.

The enzyme blend in the CEV Trio pack is one of the most potent in the industry.

Why? Biomultiplicity!™ There are 10 different plant-based digestive enzymes, 12 herbs

with enzymatic properties, essential fatty acids that help activate the enzymes and all of

this is contained in a straw pack that has other micronutrients that help the enzymes do

their job.

   Enzymes also help to scour the bloodstream and colon walls. Think of them as the

"scrubbing bubbles "of the body! They are also essential for keeping the body in a detoxi-

fied state.

Pre and Pro Biotics.

Probiotics may be the key to almost everything.

Would you like to experience increased energy? Increased stamina? Improved im-

munity? Improved resistance to everything from cancer to the common cold? Probiotics

may be the key. They provide functions that are critical to all aspects of human health.

(15)

They produce vitamins, they help keep the pH in the colon correct, and they help

with regularity and the detoxification process.

  Most people are lacking in the proper intestinal flora. The reason is that antibiotics,

chemicals, sugar, and preservatives all kill off this natural flora. (16)

Probiotics are on television commercials and news reports daily. We are becoming

aware of the fact that those benevolent bacteria are critical for optimum health and well-

being in all parts of the body. Did you know that there were micronutrients that these little

The Truth About Detox# 20

critters need to stay healthy to? Those are known as pre-biotics. Any supplementation with

pro biotics must include pre-biotics as well in order to be completely effective. (17)

Did you know that there are multiple strains of probiotics that have different func-

tions that they are responsible for? A probiotic supplement that has multiple strains, the

more the better, is what we should be looking for.

This all seems a little overwhelming, doesn't it? There is a solution. There is a product

known as the CEV Trio pack that has all of the above in one place. As far as I know it is

the first and only product in the world that does! More on this amazing product later.

Liver Toxicity and Well-Being.

In this chapter will be discussing various disease states and how liver toxicity may

contribute to their development. We are in no way saying that detoxification of the liver

will cure these ailments, but we do know that if you are toxic, the healing process will not

be what it could be. This is true prevention. We will be discussing this concept in further

detail in the epilogue.

Chapter 4

The Truth About Detox# 22

Diabetes.

When we think of diabetes, we think primarily that it is a disease that somehow at-

tacks the pancreas. While this may be somewhat true in type one diabetes, type two May

have a very different etiology.

If we back up and take a look at

sugar metabolism, we dis-

cover that the liver has a sig-

nificant role to play. Glycolo-

sis is a function whereby the

liver turns sugar into energy.

(18) When the liver is unable to do this,

sugars circulate in the bloodstream

much longer than they were designed to. This may lead to an overstimulation of the pan-

creas, which is an organ that responds to blood levels of sugar. This overstimulation may

lead to a "burnout "of the pancreas over time.

The initial phase of pancreatic over stimulation is referred to as hypoglycemia. This is

not the opposite of diabetes, this is the precursor. People in a hypoglycemic state have ex-

tremely low levels of blood sugar because the pancreas again was over stimulated. Diabe-

tes is a condition where blood sugar levels are too high because insulin, the hormone re-

sponsible for taking sugar from the bloodstream and putting it into the cell, is not available

due to pancreatic fatigue.

Removing congestion and toxicity from the liver may aid in its ability to perform the

essential function of Glycolosis. This intern may help lower levels of circulating sugars in

www.CEVhealth.com# 23

the bloodstream, thus alleviating some of the chronic stress and overstimulation of the

pancreas.

Circulatory Disease.

In order to understand circulatory disease, we must first understand just a little bit

about the anatomy of a blood vessel. Blood vessels have three layers, and inner lining a

middle layer and an outer layer. (19) The inner layer of a blood vessel, which is the part

that is in contact with the blood, is lined with a substance much like Teflon. Not much

can stick to it when it is healthy. If this interlining is scratched, then it becomes very very

"sticky ".

Sugars that are allowed to circulate in the bloodstream longer than they were de-

signed to can form crystals. These Sugar crystals can then scratch that inner lining expos-

ing the next layer. This is when certain proteins and fats can stick and begin building

plaque. This phenomenon is further accelerated because the circulating sugars cause the

bloodstream to become more acidic. As we learned in preceding chapters, most plaque is

acidic in nature just like the plaque that lines the battery cable in your car.

The Truth About Detox# 24

The greater the force that the crystals are exposed to pumping through the blood-

stream, the more scouring of the blood vessel overtime. This may be why coronary arteries

are so prone to building plaque and needing bypass procedures. They are the ones closest

to the pump!

Allowing the liver to function at an optimal state may reduce the amount of sugars

circulating in the bloodstream and minimize the amount of crystalline deposits. This may

also lead to a less acidic bloodstream further compounding the positive effects.

Arthritis

Arthritis comes from the root word arthrodial, which means freely movable joint. The

suffix  "itis" means swollen. So arthritis simply

means swollen joints. Now there are very many

different types of arthritis, which

include rheumatoid arthritis,

degenerative joint disease, etc.,

what do they all have in com-

mon? Inflammation!

Inflammation is regulated through a series of small fat-based hormones known as

prostaglandins. (20) There are pro and anti-inflammatory prostaglandins that must stay in

balance for inflammation to be balanced. Inflammation, when appropriate, is part of the

healing process. When it becomes extreme it causes disease. The liver's role in this in-

flammatory response balancing act hinges on its ability to metabolize fats correctly and

efficiently. When it is inflamed itself due to toxicity, then fat metabolism does not happen

www.CEVhealth.com# 25

the way nature intended. In fact, the gallbladders job is to secrete and alkaline substance

that allows facts to be assimilated by the body efficiently and correctly. When this cannot

happen, those small hormones become out of balance through many mechanisms. Fats

that linger in the bloodstream too long are affected by the sugars they are circulating with

and that can turn a good fat into a bad one. (21) This upsets the balance of the inflamma-

tion response. If we hit our thumb accidentally with a hammer, it is supposed to swell. If

it stays swollen for six months we have a problem with this balancing act. This is why

people suffering from arthritis of all types have "good "days and "bad "days.

Optimizing liver function gives the individual the chance to have many more good

days regardless of the type of arthritis they are suffering from. This makes a lot more sense

than taking toxic substances to reduce the inflammation that actually cause more long-

term toxicity.

Clinical Hypothyroidism.

The thyroid gland secretes a hormone that helps to regulate your metabolism. (22)

When the thyroid "slows down "you walk by a baked potato and put on weight… Or at

least it seems so. Other symptoms are a loss of energy and depression. Sound familiar?

The Truth About Detox# 26

When we present all of the symptoms of a slowed thyroid and yet there is plenty of

thyroid hormone in the bloodstream, we are given the diagnosis "clinical hypothyroidism".

The thyroid hormone levels may be normal, but their access to the cell may be being

blocked because of a toxic liver. When the liver is toxic, it cannot break down estrogen as

fast as it was designed to. This leads to elevated blood levels of estrogen, estradiols and

denatured estrogen. These components actually compete for the same cell "receptor sites

"that thyroid hormone uses to enter the cell wall. (23) In this scenario we have all the

symptoms that come with an unhealthy thyroid, and yet it is perfectly healthy.

This is why many people that do a liver detox experience a change not just in their

metabolism and weight, but also in their moods and energy.

Obesity

From everything we have learned so far, it should be obvious that one of the major

contributing factors to obesity people of all ages is toxicity.

We must also be aware that this is a vicious cycle. The more obese we become, the

more fat we store and the more that we store, the more toxins we store as well. Why is

www.CEVhealth.com# 27

this? Because toxins are stored primarily in fat cells! (24) As we lose toxicity in our liver,

we begin to optimize thyroid function and also our energy level. For every good reason,

detoxing our liver should be the first step in achieving our weight-loss goals. It's pretty

difficult to exercise regularly when just getting off the couch seems like a chore. Increas-

ing our natural levels of energy helps us in that regard. The more we exercise the more we

feel like exercising and now we are on a different cycle, a positive one.

The above ailments are skyrocketing despite our best efforts in the fields of medicine.

With everything else remaining essentially the same, the one thing that has changed is our

exposure to toxins. And now we enter the global vicious cycle. The more toxic our envi-

ronment becomes, the more of these ailments we will continue to see. While our treat-

ment for these ailments has improved dramatically, the number of people that suffer from

them is rising daily. If we are to begin to get a handle on this global epidemic, it must be-

gin with ourselves.

The Truth About Detox# 28

Epilogue

Scientific process begins with an observation, moves to the laboratory, and ends with

observation. It seems as though the scientific community, at least in the United States, has

failed to do the last step.

Statistics may show success with treatment of diseases of all types and this is signifi-

cant. Cancer survival rates are important as our "cure "rates. By far, the most important

statistic is the incidences of new cases that are reported annually. It is obvious that those

statistics are going in the wrong direction.

We spent $2.5 trillion on "health "care in this country alone. That number is ex-

pected to double within the next 5 to 10 years. Logically we must ask the question, if it

were a healthcare system and it worked, wouldn't the cost go down every year? The an-

swer is yes. Something is woefully wrong with the system.

As long as we are focused on fighting disease, the war is lost. There is nothing in tra-

ditional health care that prevents anything, as even early screenings are just that. Screen-

ings to determine if we already have the disease, which is a wasteful attempt at best.

Why? Because by the time I diagnosis has been made you have had the disease for quite

some time.

The Mayo Clinic stated recently that before a woman can detect cancer with a

mammogram or self-exam, it has been developing for at least five years inside of her body.

Why? Because you cannot detect a single cancer cell. There are billions and billions of

them before they can be detected by any means, Even with the sophisticated diagnostics

we have available today.

Kidney function must be reduced by a minimum of 30% before that failure begins to

show up on a blood test. Even former Pres. Bill Clinton, who has access to the best care

in the world, had a heart exam only months before his massive heart attack.

This is not to say that these tests should not be done. What is being said is that true

prevention is something that cannot be done with drugs or exams.

There are three different areas of focus when it comes to true health care. The first

and most common is also the least effective, which is fighting disease. The next and al-

most as equally ineffective is to try to prevent disease. The third and most effective ap-

proach is to maximize health. It is also the most economical way to approach the di-

lemma.

What this means in practical terms is that we must learn to live according to the plan.

This includes minimizing our exposure to toxins and cleansing the body of toxins that are

absolutely unavoidable. This coupled with supplementing the body with all the nutrients

that it needs is the most complete approach available to us and it is also again the most

cost effective.

There are two terms that we must become familiar with if we are to make the most of

maximizing our health.

Nature uninterrupted™ and Bio Multiplicity™ are these terms.

The Truth About Detox# 30

Nature, Uninterrupted™

Nature, Uninterrupted™ (NU) simply

means that nature does not need help, it simply

requires no interference. When you accidentally

cut your finger while chopping vegetables for

dinner, your body automatically rebuilds the

damaged finger. This is like putting a dent in the

fender of your car and having the fender repair

itself in the garage while you sleep. Amazing!

In fact, the only thing that has ever truly

healed the human body of anything is the human

body itself.

Every medication and surgical proceeedure

is ultimately designed to hide or control a symptom. As necessary as this is, there is a big difference be-

tween healing and symptom relief.

CEV, unlike every other nutritional company, makes no claim besides the removal of interference to

the natural expression of life. Why? Because common sense should tell us that the body’s ability to heal

when functioning closer to 100% is amazing and removing the interference should be the first step!

The planet is no different. The Earth is too big to “clean up”. If we just quit polluting it will clean it-

self. This process must begin with the individual, as “there are no global problems, just individual problems

magnified to a global scale” according to Mother Teresa.

CEV is dedicated to making this process as simple as possible.

Biomultiplicity™

We all know that 2+2=4 in the world

of mathematics. Did you know that in the

world of nutrition that 2+2 could equal 5 or 7

or 10?

This is because certain vitamins and

minerals actually make other vitamins and

minerals more effective when consumed to-

gether.

Calcium needs vitamin D in order to be

processed by the body, in fact, every vitamin

and mineral works with every other vitamin

and mineral somewhere in the process of life.

CEV Trio maximizes the process of Biomultiplicity™ by using the right combinations and concentra-

tion of ingredients in the correct form. What does this mean to you? More energy and better health without

wasting your precious money on supplements that are incomplete and just don’t work!
