Hi, I think it might have been my posting about cleansing.* I started 14 weeks ago and I've lost 35 lbs and 75.5".** I just got back into size 12 jeans (I was quickly passing through size 18/20 when I started) and a size 8/10 top (which I'm wearing in my new photo).
The cleansing and nutritional system I'm using is designed to assist with rapid and safe weight loss.* I highly recommend that you try it... the results will AMAZE you!

The Truth About Cleansing

Chemicals and Toxins Are The Primary Cause of Illness, Disease and Obesity!
According to "National Geographic," studies have discovered various chemicals from our foods and environment that indicate man contributes 700,000 tons of pollutants into the air every day, ranging from everyday household cleaners to cosmetics and hair dyes. Without a nutritionally rich diet that nourishes and assists the body in cleansing these substances from the body, the body will lose its strength and vitality. The immune system will become suppressed, contributing to an increase in illness, disease and excess body fat - a major killer in America today.

These chemicals and toxins accumulate over time, and cause the liver and kidneys to become overworked and weak. Research has shown that stress causes the adrenals to release excess cortisol, a stress hormone that triggers over-indulgence in simple carbohydrates: chocolate, candy, sodas, and ice cream, even when you are not hungry. Excess cortisol contributes to hormone imbalances.

65% of the world's population cleanse on a regular basis as part of their cultures. Why don't Americans?

Chemicals and toxins accumulate in fat tissue. The more chemicals and toxins, the more fat the body manufactures. Have you ever tried to lose weight only to be disappointed? Well, perhaps now you know the reason why! Most diets, lotions, pills, potions, and powders use unhealthy and potentially dangerous ingredients, such as ma huang, ephedra, and caffeine that promise fast weight loss. Yes, but the weight loss is primarily water and lean muscle. Minimal fat is lost because these products do not address the cleansing of the system.

Without proper cleansing the lost lean muscle and water return as fat, thus people are actually fatter versions of their prior selves. Chemicals and toxins are bound within fat tissue, and only specifically blended nutrients can contribute to releasing the chemicals from fat. Excess fat will literally melt away at an alarming yet safe & effective pace. This is the healthy alternative to nutritionally deficient, disappointing and potentially deadly diets.

75% of Americans are overweight - 2,000,000 more Americans become obese every year. There are 18 million obese children in America. Obesity is linked to over 60 illnesses, including Heart Disease, Hypertension and Cancer. There were 1.5 million heart attacks in America in 2000; 200,000 victims never reached the hospital. Never before has it been so important, and so critical, for you to lose the excess fat and then keep it off.

Americans are becoming more aware of the importance of eating sensibly, exercising moderately, drinking quantities of clean water, consuming quality supplements, and managing their weight. Stress has created a population of sugarholics. The average consumption of sugar per capita in the United States is 3.5 pounds a week for adults and slightly more for children.

There are numerous diet products, and most Americans have tried them all in an attempt to defeat the battle of the bulge. Yes indeed! We are in a war, and the battle waged is against FAT! According to the National Institutes of Health, heart disease is the number 1 killer of Americans with 1,000,000 deaths each year; cancer is number 2. It is estimated that within the next five years, 1 out of every 2 Americans will eventually succumb to heart disease, and 1 out of 3 to cancer. Today one out of eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. More than 85% of these cases are not genetically linked, they are a result of the environment we live in.

A diet is anything you put into your mouth: food, beverages, the air you breathe, and what transdermally penetrates your skin.

What comprises the foods you consume every day? To name a few, they are pesticides, fertilizers, chemicals, hormones and food colorings. Commercial soils are over-farmed, undernourished, and are deficient in vital minerals and microbes. These minerals and nutrients are not replenished due to the costs involved. Your body is indeed a chemical depository!

Do you want to be HEALTHY, CLEAN, AND LEAN? Then modify your lifestyle to incorporate on-going cleansing, sensible eating and mild exercise. You will be on your way to a lifetime of improved health & wellness.

Looking forward to seeing us all cross the finish line!

Personally I would avoid all these MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) / Pyramid schemes and Isagenix is a notorious one.

It's an exorbitantly expensive 9 or 30 program and it is sold via an MLM program.

Anyone touting the benefits of Isagenix simply wants you to go to their website and buy the product so they can make money.

This is the wrong website for marketing your own products.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SCAM !!!

Isagenix is one of the biggest scams on the internet.* Just GOOGLE it and see how many people are trying to sell this stuff.*

I have reported this discussion thread to the webmaster since people shouldn't be allowed to use Buddyslim as their personal marketing tool.

Spring, I would do one of two things.
- Search the internet & you can find a lot of good programs for free.* Just use one that fits your style.
- Since you have a Whole Foods close by, I would go there & talk to one of the people in the Vitamin & Supplement area.* I'll bet they could help you out.*

A while back I came across a post about a body cleansing product.* I'm interested in doing this and looking for more info.* I couldn't find the post I originally saw to get the product information...we need a search bar for the forum!* Can anyone give me any info on body cleansing?

You can try this link.* I would also check out similar websites
Juice Fasting

I would also google it (ignore the ones that are trying to get you to buy expensive plans.

There's a lot of websites that give about this sort of thing for free and don't require you to buy expensive powders, mixes, bars,...etc

Well, I have researched it VERY THOROUGHLY.

I work in a hospital (in an administrative capacity) and was actually considering trying it.
Of course the first thing I did was talk to a bunch of physicians.

I spoke to about a dozen people (doctors & dietician), all of whom were familiar with the product and with people trying to lose weight.** There wasn't a single favorable response. I can't even post some of their responses because they were quite vulgar in their criticism.

Anyways, if you want an objective opinion, ask your doctor.*** See what he/she says

The doctors and dietians you talked to are vulgar in their critisms against using herbs and doing internal cleansing?*** That doesn't sound very objective.*
Perhaps I need to better understand what you mean by "scam."* That term seems to me to indicate that*a company falsley claims what their products are capable of doing... That's obviously not true in my case,* because I've been having wonderful success with it for 3 months now and never felt better... and at least 135 others who are on the website.
Additionally, there*ARE doctors who endorse the product line and recommend it in their practice.* The company has a medical advisory board... but the article posted was about how cleansing*affects weight loss in general.* *
Jenn

Thanks for all of the insite everyone!* I'm going to be looking for a natural cleansing for the purpose of cleansing...not for the purpose of weight loss.* I have to admit I am very skeptical of a cleansing product promoting itself for weight loss rather than the intended purpose of cleansing.* Seems like a weight loss gimmick.

Hello Spring, Dan and Di... and anyone else who shows interest,

*


I sincerely apologize for posting my website on this forum, as*I see that it was*inappropriate and*seems to have*incited a heated reaction.***However,*might I suggest that the reaction be based on research and facts, rather than on an emotional,*knee-jerk response to a concept (how a company would choose to market their product) that has nothing to do with the actual article (facts about how cleansing affects weight loss).

*


My life has been totally turned around by the cleansing and nutritional system I've been using, and the results that I've been blogging over the past 12-14 weeks speak for themselves.*

*


Spring requested information about a previous article*regarding cleansing.* I re-posted an article that dealt with that because learning what I did about cleansing was an epiphany for me and CHANGED EVERYTHING for my weight loss journey.

*


I truly would want to see everybody get the kind of results I'm having.* I would list them for you, but really they're already in my blogs, so check*them out for yourself, if you'd like.*

*


However, it is unfair to attack the CHARACTER of the person posting the reponse based on emotions and little facts.* * It is highly unfair to try to speak regarding*the motivations behind my actions... as you would have to know me to understand my intent.

*


Di, the products do indeed*live up to their claims, and simply stating that there are a lot of people selling it does not classify something as a "scam."**

*


Dan, multi-level marketing or MLM as people "affectionately" call it, is simply a description on how a person within the company gets paid.* "Pyramid schemes" are illegal and to arbitrarily throw out the use of these terms without the facts to back up such claims*is inflammatory and slanderous.*

*


I provided the website so that Spring could do the research and investigate the ingredients, if she would so choose, so that she could make an informed decision for herself as to whether or not she wanted to go that route.* There was no pressure on my part for anyone to purchase anything.

*


Speaking of which:* Dan, NOTHING is free.* Even if you were to attempt cleansing by juicing, you would have to pay for the juicer and for the foods... and*"expensive" is a relative term.* How "expensive" something is to someone is determined by the VALUE that person places on it, and whether or not he or she is willing to part with their funds in order to acquire it.* In order to determine whether or not something is "overpriced," again, research would have to be done in order qualify the VALUE the product delivers.

*


The value I've received personally,*as well as those on the weight loss hall of fame site, extends far beyond simple weight loss.* I feel it is much more expensive NOT to cleanse.* Read the article and you'll understand why...

*

Looking forward to seeing ALL of us cross the finish line!!

Just out of curiosity... did anyone actually read the article?
