Clearvite-SF® is an essential part of the nutritional program designed by your health practitioner for your health concerns. A better understanding of the functions of Clearvite-SF® will assist you in using the product more effectively. The following discussion will provide you with sufficient information and answer many questions regarding Clearvite-SF®
Every day, millions of molecules from different compounds enter our bodies through voluntary or involuntary ingestion. These chemicals come from foods, beverages, medicines, food additives, personal care, and numerous other sources. Whenever a system (whether living or mechanical) becomes polluted, normal function is affected. Excessive pollution in a system may result in serious degeneration of the system or system malfunction. You might have experienced this with the mechanics of your car. Every so often you need to change the oil, air filter, etc. in order to keep the system clean so the car will run more efficiently and last longer. That is why, when your car's engine needs repair, the mechanic first cleans the engine before any attempt to fix it. It is always easier to repair a clean system than a polluted one. If you are not successful in fixing a polluted system, you are never sure if it is the system that has not been fixed, or if the pollution is causing the problem.
Every working system produces pollution as the result of normal functioning. Some of the pollutants that are produced within the living systems are eliminated through naturally built in processes. But no living system has the ability to rid itself totally from all the naturally produced or foreign pollutants. As a result, the system can slowly produce and accumulate pollutants to a point of self-destruction. The human body is no different than any other system. It has excellent built-in mechanisms to cleanse itself from all kinds of pollutants, but the system is not perfect.
Advancements in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, biology, etc. have made substantial contributions to the health and well being of mankind. However, with the advancement of science and industrialization, numerous foreign and toxic chemicals are produced and released into the environment every day. These chemical are foreign to the human system and are known as "xenobiotics". Xenobiotics also include over-the-counter and prescription drugs. Numerous research scientists have demonstrated that xenobiotics are among the major causes of many acute and chronic health problems which have become widespread within Western Society in recent decades. These compounds can interfere with normal biological processes and become hazardous to one's health, if they are not cleared from the system. The accumulation of these toxic substances in the body may produce a variety of distressful symptoms or medical conditions.
Poor nutritional habits in the Western world has increased the number of allergy problems tenfold within recent decades. Most of the symptoms produced by the accumulation of toxins are very similar to allergies. Mild toxicities and food allergies will produce very discomforting symptoms such as poor digestion, gas, bloating, heartburn, headaches, fatigue, chronic mild infections, hormone imbalances, etc.
Cleansing the body from the accumulated xenobiotics and the excess biological compounds and metabolites is known as "detoxification". Most of these toxins are subjected to numerous chemical changes (detoxification) in order to be prepared for elimination from the body. The major detoxification reactions take place in the liver. The goal of detoxification reactions is to transform chemicals that are fat-soluble into water-soluble compounds. Water-soluble compounds can then be eliminated through kidneys, skin, or gallbladder, in urine, sweat, or bile, respectively. Secretion of bile is one of the major pathways of body's detoxification. Once the liver has detoxified xenobiotics and other toxins, the resulting compounds are delivered to the gallbladder to be excreted with bile into the digestive system in order to be eliminated in feces. Detoxification has shown to be extremely beneficial as a preventative measure for different health problems, or as a means to enhance therapeutic procedures for a variety of medical conditions. The removal of these toxins from the system enhances the organs' ability to better absorb nutrients and improves biological functions, which, in turn, accelerates the healing processes. A healthy detoxification is of utmost importance in a variety of medical conditions and therapeutic procedures.
Clearvite-SF® is a nutritional product and a cleansing (detoxification) program. Certain nutritional factors play extremely important roles in the proper functioning of the cellular cleansing processes. The body's natural detoxifying ability will deteriorate if the nutrients provided by Clearvite-SF® are lacking or are found to be deficient at the cellular level. In addition, certain botanicals and botanical extracts strengthen the cells and maximize the processes which are involved in detoxification reactions. Clearvite-SF® is designed to provide the necessary nutritional compounds and the botanical extracts that have been recognized as pivotal in the body's natural abilities to neutralize and expel toxins.
Clearvite-SF® is an excellent source of very high quality vitamins, minerals, and numerous nutritional factors. he protein source is derived from rice, which generates a superior quality hypoallergenic (having little likelihood of causing an allergic response) protein. In addition, it provides other lipotropic (promoting the breakdown and utilization of fat) nutrients, herbal compounds that stimulate formation of bile, bile secretion, and elimination, and numerous nutritional cofactors and botanical extracts that support detoxification reactions. Long-term practical experiences by outstanding clinicians and scientists have been employed to design Clearvite-SF®. Methodical scientific procedures have been used to analyze biochemical reactions and functional organic disorders stemming from chronic environmental and biological toxicities. Each ingredient in the product has been investigated extensively by different scientists for its effect and functionality in supporting biochemical reactions that take place in the liver and different detoxification pathways.
Clearvite-SF® provides key cofactors necessary in enzymatic reactions involved in the liver detoxification processes. These vitamins and minerals are selected from the highest quality, most soluble and biologically available forms to ensure their absorption and assimilation. A number of amino acids such as; N-Acetylcysteine, Taurine, Glycine, L-Glutamine, necessary for a variety of the liver biochemical detoxification reactions, are included in the formula. Strong antioxidants such as quercitin, grape seed extract, herbs, and herbal extracts such as milk thistle seed extract, have been included in the formula to improve the growth and repair of liver cells, and to increase bile solubility. Lysine has been added to further improve amino acid balance in rice protein. Digestive enzymes such as glucanase, cellulase, protease, and amylase have been added to improve digestion and absorption of the nutrients. Additional herbal and nutritional compounds such as Jerusalem artichoke, Marshmallow, Gamma Oryzanol, Rutin, Hesperidin, Evening Primrose Oil, and Medium Chain Triglycerides have been incorporated into this formula, each for very specific scientifically supported reasons, to make this product the most effective product of this category in the market.
Clearvite-SF® is most effective when used according to the plan provided in the chart below. The accumulated toxins in the body are mostly imbedded in different tissues, especially in fat and connective tissues. To remove these toxins from the system, they first need to be mobilized (released from their adhesion points), then they can enter into the detoxification pathways. After detoxification reaction, the resulting compounds enter into the excretion routes and are released from the body. Mobilization and detoxification of the toxins are slow processes and require sufficient time to become fully effective. Based on the evaluation of your health and physical condition, your health care practitioner may recommend other products to be used prior to, in conjunction with, or after the use of Clearvite-SF® . These products are designed for specific conditions to better prepare you at cellular level for the detoxification process by Clearvite-SF®, or to gently complete the process, leaving behind cells that are well nourished with plenty of nutritional cofactors stored in the cell for the continuation of the process. It is most important that you follow the dietary and other recommendations made by your health practitioner to get the best results. First time users of Clearvite-SF® are encouraged to complete the three week (21 days) plan. The two week (14 days) plan is designed to be used as a follow-up plan. An effective detoxification program results in much more energy, the disappearance of many minor aches and pains, a decrease in the level of major physical discomforts, and most importantly, a change toward better and more positive mood.
Three Week Plan (21 Days) Time to take
Two Week Plan (14 Days) Time to take
The first step in this program is a modified fast for three to five days. A minimum of three days is required for best results. During the fast, do not take any supplements. Limit your dietary intake to a drink that is made up of freshly squeezed lime and/or lemon (with pulp), water, organic maple syrup (grade B is preferred), and brewed green tea (optional). Exact proportions are not critical and you can make the drink as sour or diluted as you like. Take sips of the drink every 15 minutes throughout the day. You ought to expect to feel the need to urinate frequently.
If you are taking sips all day you should be able to stabilize your blood sugar without any foods. If you truly become hungry, you are allowed to eat one food (or a fresh veggie drink), but it must be a vegetable you rarely eat, such as brussel sprouts, cauliflower, etc. Do not add anything to the vegetables such as spices or dressings.
The strict limitation of food is important because you're trying to decrease the antigen load to your immune system. Many of those that have their neuroendocrine-immune system up-regulated are usually sensitive to the foods that they eat most often. The goal of the original three days is not to decrease calories, but rather to decrease the antigenic load. The reason lime and lemon juice are used is due to its alkalinizing properties which are usually required. Organic grade B maple syrup is suggested because it is sweeter than other grades, and therefore less maple syrup is needed to antagonize the sour taste. Green tea can be added to the mixture if you prefer and you can drink hot green tea all day during the initial 3-5 days.
If you are insulin dependent or are on medication that does not allow you to fast, then avoid step one and start with step two.
Any fast must be conducted under the care of a trained medical professional.
STEP 2
Perform the three-week Clearvite-SF® program as instructed above. During this step it is important to take supplements for insulin resistance. Suggested supplements are listed below. Be prepared for each day of the Clearvite-SF® program by planning your meals ahead. Be sure to read the Clearvite-SF® program booklet and make sure that you have the proper groceries at home to comply with the program. Remember: "Organic is best." A discussion about your program should occur with your family members and spouse so they can be supportive during the program. Many times spouses and family members will unconsciously try to sabotage family members during the program and it helps to be prepared to discuss the issue if it arises. It is not uncommon to have an adverse reaction while in the program (nausea, gastrointestinal irritation, skin outbreaks, anxiety, etc.). If this occurs it may be due to too much support and you should discuss reducing your dose of Clearvite-SF® with your doctor. It is very unlikely that you will have sensitivities to the Clearvite-SF® since it is a high-quality hypoallergenic formula; therefore cutting down the dosage is usually all that is required. If you are being supported with additional supplements and an adverse reaction occurs, speak with your doctor and he or she may have you stop taking all of them and re-introduce them back one at a time at 1/2 the original dose. It may not be that you are sensitive to the supplements, but rather your metabolism is being impacted too aggressively. However, most people will never encounter adverse reactions.
STEP 3
Steps one and two allow you to eliminate common food sensitivities that may up-regulate your neuroendocrine-immune axis. In step 3 you will begin adding one food back into your diet at a time. Keep a dietary journal and take notice of any symptoms when you reintroduce food groups back into your diet. Remember: Don't undo all of your hard work with processed foods, sugars, junk foods and sodas! You've just cleaned out your system and filling it up with those kinds of foods will only counteract the benefits of this program. It is important for you to note how you feel at the end of the Clearvite-SF® program. If you feel dramatically better, you probably suffered from multiple food sensitivities and your gastrointestinal-immune system was up-regulated. If you feel no improvement with your digestion, speak with your doctor about options for further investigation. If you feel better at the end of the Clearvite-SF® program and food sensitivities were identified, but continued support needs to be provided to calm down your neuroendocrine-immune axis, you can repeat the lime-aid fast for three to five days followed by the two week Clearvite-SF® program every two to three months under the care of a trained medical professional.
