Chapter 3
“Cleaning the inside out”
“Outer beauty shines from
the inside out”
Before you can consciously and effectively embark on any new journey, path or adventure in life, you must first choose to eliminate all the old, useless stuff you’ve been carrying around or holding on to for a long time. Let me explain:
When you buy a new house and are ready to move do you leave all the old stuff behind or do you go through all the old stuff and take only what you really need, want and can actually use? The same holds true for you personally. How can you start a new, healthy and overall well being way of life without cleansing and getting rid of all the old and harmful waste?
Personally, I have spent most of my life holding on to ALL my old and useless stuff. Experimenting and trying every new popular diet as well as over the counter pills just to lose those last 10 to 15 pounds and to reach a greater level of energy because I was eating so much refined sugar.
Well guess what? None of it worked. OK, maybe it worked for a little while but in the long run I ended up worse off then when I started so, I decided to share all the bad and good information I experienced first hand with you so that maybe you won’t be as lost and confused as I was.
There is no magic wand or pill out on the market. You are the magic wand, you! Everything you think you need is right here inside of you! All you have to do is look right in the mirror into your own eyes and you will see the amazing, awesome person full of light and power that you are and have always been. Dr. Layne and I know it might be a little scary, but that’s ok. Once you do this exercise several times a day, you will no longer be afraid, because you will have discovered your own innate greatness and will be in close, intimate contact with YOU!
Ideally, it shouldn’t be about having a skinny, perfect body or a picture perfect face, it should be about being and feeling HEALTHY ALL of the time. Besides, your soul; your essence is all of that and more. You and I were already created perfect and will remain as such always. Your health and overall well being should be THE #1 most important focus in your life NOT just about losing weight or being a certain dress or pant size! In the next several pages Dr. Layne and I will share with you our wisdom and experience on how to properly reach that state of great energy and overall well being for your life as well as getting lean and strong.
While you complete all of the suggested Cleansing and Detox Phases, you will feel like a new person and it will then be a lot easier for you to eat and exercise right for life while naturally creating balance in all that you are and do without as much effort because you will be feeling great all the time!!.
We suggest you start with a mild 30-day Intestinal-Colon Cleansing program. (We don’t mean a colonic or enema) What we are talking about is a series of all natural Herbal and Fiber supplements that will gently help eliminate toxins and waste. We have been fortunate enough to have discovered, a series of six phase cleanses that really work. It is very important to first consult with your doctor before starting any new wellness program-cleansing and or nutrition and fitness routine. You can also go online @ www.islanddermatology.com and consult with Dr. Layne D. Nisenbaum, D.O. co-author of this book, a friend, associate and great doctor. www.wholefoods.com also has an amazing assortment of great cleansing products made by reputable companies that we have used.
Originally, I started writing this book 15 months ago, and then one day while I was delivering food to the homeless for Easter someone broke into my car and stole everything. I was really tempted to give up period. I mean, can you imagine that my laptop with 200 pages of this book completed including all the back up discs and hard copy gone, just like that?
It took me weeks to come out of this numb state of shock. I can’t begin to explain what this did to me, so I won’t, but all I can say is that once I gave it some serious thought, it made me more determined than ever to start over again and this time make this one of the best books I will ever write. Which is when I met Dr. Layne D. Nisenbaum, D.O. who started this program and my pre-prepared meals. Because this program worked amazingly for Dr. Layne, we decided to write this book together. Meanwhile, we are at the end of the 1st Phase Cleanse getting ready for Phase II and we are starting to feel clean from the inside out again! (Lighter too!)
Please make sure you fill out the THE PALM BEACH WAY Lifestyle Analysis questionnaire before you start ANY program, related to your health. This will insure a personally customized cleanse and wellness program just for you at a pace you can handle.
The next step is a 4-week Parasite Cleanse, then a Heavy Metal Cleanse, and a Candida Yeast Cleanse. Once these Phases are successfully completed, Dr. Layne and I suggest an overall Hormone Panel Test and then a Hormone Cleanse too. Once this is accomplished you can properly and accurately determine through actual proof from your individual test results what you need so that we together can help create a customized nutrition, fitness and wellness program that realistically works for you for life.
THE PALM BEACH WAY Program of “Living& Eating in Balance for Life” is based on several factors: Your Body Type, Blood Type, Genetics and Balancing your Hormones. Think about it, doesn’t it make sense that eating right for your Body and Blood Type can be really good for your overall health!? Also, knowing where you are Hormonally can make an incredible difference in eliminating the bad estrogen as well as excess body fat, increase your progesterone and testosterone levels if needed, so that you too can feel and be in Balance for Your Life! Last but not least any and all mood swings you may be experiencing due to a common hormone inbalance will be gone. Instead you will feel great and happy ALL the time!
All I know is that it has literally changed how I feel in a big way. Also, for the first time in my life I am not constantly constipated! I actually go three times a day and must say WOW!! It is official. I am no longer full of you know what to say the least…! I was lucky if I went once every three to four days and I can promise you I was not alone. Not eliminating on a daily basis is extremely hazardous to your health!
Dr. Layne and I have been spending hours upon hours writing this book to insure we don’t forget or leave out any valuable info. We have also dedicated an unlimited amount of hours with extensive hands on research where we personally interviewed hundreds of regular people like you and I, as well as Alternative Wellness, Fitness & Nutrition Experts. You wouldn’t believe how many other people out there are more toxic and constipated than I was. (Dr. Layne on the other hand has no elimination issues) Elimination is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about as it is a totally natural and an extremely important bodily function.
You can go on-line to www.islanddermatology.com to find out more about the different programs available. There is a variety of great links you can also log on from Dr. Layne’s site related to alternative Cleanses and Homeopathic products. Personally we suggest www.wholefoods.com as they carry just about EVERYTHING you will need to eat healthy as well as anything else you may require to get healthier. We can honestly promise you this will be the best move you’ve ever made for your self and will be
thankful for taking the initial steps towards improving your health.
Dr. Layne and I have also included a glossary where we have listed books to buy and websites to log on to so that you can personally select your own wellness supplement provider just in case you’re not sure about using our products or the links we have included for your convenience.
Getting back to the Phase I cleansing, you will be taking an assortment of cleansing herbs that will first scrape the outer colon and additional herbal supplements to flush out the waste and toxins that have been fermenting and festering in your body for a very long time as well as, a multi-vitamin, multi-mineral and Potassium to help maintain your over all well-being on Phase I of the Six Phase Cleanses.
We know it sounds pretty disgusting just talking about it so you can imagine what’s going on inside your body! You will also need to drink a lot of water to help flush out all the waste, and it’s extremely important that you eat at least 6 mini meals a day (don’t worry, you won’t gain any weight), this will also help eliminate toxins and waste as well as speed up your metabolism! (A Faster Metabolism equals a leaner, more energetic body!)
Make sure to take the time to REALLY check out your options and then go over them with your personal healthcare professional, OK?! Also, don’t forget to remind yourself that you are a wonderful, strong and determined being and that YOU are in charge of YOU period! Your opinion is truly the only one that matters when all is said and done! So own it, stand up for it, and most important keep your word to yourself.
