Many Mercola.com subscribers are moving toward better health by taking steps I talk about all the time. And I'm sure if you're reading this, you are likely already implementing health-promoting changes in your life, like:

• Consuming healthy food choices within your Nutritional Type, including plenty of quality fresh uncooked vegetables. And avoiding foods that don't promote your health -- sugar, corn syrup (including all sodas and many other processed foods), artificial sweeteners, grains...
• Exercising for 30-60 minutes per day
• Drinking plenty of pure water daily
• Enjoying moderate levels of sunshine daily
• Getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night

Believe it or not, even if you're doing all those things, it still might not be enough to catapult you to the level of health you dream of...

Add These Actions to That List!

As helpful as each of these actions is -- and I sincerely urge you to begin taking these actions immediately -- there are three simple measures you can take to improve your health and energy levels. In only ten days, you can begin to see a big difference!

Sometimes called colon cleansing, it can be a big help in removing toxins from your body.

A major word of caution! Many people make mistakes with colon cleansing...often very significant mistakes...

First, you might never do it at all, with the mistaken belief that if you're taking all the other above actions you don't need it. Or maybe you've never even thought about it.

Second, if you do colon cleansing, you might inadvertently choose products that are very harsh on your body, take too long, or are cumbersome and disruptive to use. You choose a good option but then execute it in a damaging or inconvenient way.

Third, you do a colon cleansing and then fail to keep the ongoing 'maintenance' up.

Now you can do 3 great things for your digestive health:  detoxify, maintain and support your digestive system ... by combining the benefits of New Start™, Gentle Cleansing, and Complete Probiotics™.

Consider this...

Dredging Out Poisons is Crucial

To help you examine why cleansing may be helpful to your overall health, let's compare it to a non-human model...

We make it a national priority to clean the toxins from our rivers. Why not your body also?

You may or may not be aware that many rivers are full of poisons that make them unfit for recreation, wildlife, food supplies (fish), and even commerce. Numerous rivers, both inside and outside of the United States, have been or are slated for dredging to clean up PCBs.

Take these rivers, for example...

• Hudson River -- the largest federal Superfund site, stretching a 200-mile span to clean up PCBs dumped there from 1946 to 1977.
• Clinton River in Michigan -- scheduled for clean-up of toxic contamination at levels three times higher than much-publicized Rouge River pollution.
• Columbia River near Vancouver, Washington -- where a PCB hot spot three feet deep with concentrations as high as 300,000 ppb (parts per billion) will be cleaned up, to not exceed a level of 98 ppb.

And there are many more, both in the U.S. and abroad. But some rivers are dredged for other reasons...

Not Just for Poisons, But Dredging for Regular Accumulations of Sediment Too

Dredging is for cleaning up non-toxic but hazardous sediments also. Remember to clean the sludge from your body.

Dredging is even performed when there is no contamination. Rivers carry sand and soil with them as they flow toward the ocean. The greater the water speed, the more capacity it has to move sand, silt and even rocks with it. Then when the water slows down, materials that were suspended in the water drop down to create sand and gravel bars that can impede navigation.

If enough sediment falls out, the deposits create shoals or sandbars, making navigation channels shallower than shown on navigation maps. Shoals are hazardous as they can cause ships to run aground, damaging the vessel and its contents... and even damaging the environment if dangerous cargo is spilled in the waterways.

Dredging is underwater excavation used to re-establish the channel for smooth navigation, and to clean up contaminants. Periodic dredging is performed to keep a channel clear and safe for navigation and other purposes, called maintenance dredging.

What does this have to do with your internal cleansing?  More than you might think...

Ways to Show Toxins the Door

Here's what I mean...

New Start™ uses a blend of Fiber -- critical for two reasons:

You could be taking in more toxins than you realize -- through pesticides on your foods, by eating unhealthy convenience food loaded with preservatives, drinking chlorinated water, smoking or alcohol use, auto exhaust and other environmental pollutants, the skin care products you use, and your own metabolic wastes.

Although normally present in small amounts, it's easy to see how toxins can accumulate over a period of time (just as the pollutants in our rivers accumulated over time).

Your detoxification program should include an exercise program that creates profuse sweat.

There are only a few ways you can show toxins the door.

Exercise that creates a large amount of sweat is a very effective way to facilitate toxin elimination. If you're not engaged in an exercise program that causes you to sweat profusely on a regular basis, consider starting one today.

Additionally, it's the job of your liver and colon to force toxins to exit your system. Removing toxins and cleansing your intestinal tract can then set a healthy stage for reintroducing beneficial microflora, which is critical to good overall health.*

It is clearly not recommended to cleanse excessively, but many adults benefit from 2-4 cleanses per year.*

Also, while not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing, I believe that cleansing when you want to get pregnant is a great way to prepare your body for optimal health.* It's also very appropriate after weaning your child to promote cleansing of your body.*

Just as periodic dredging of a navigation channel in a river is done to clean it up, conscious commitment to cleaning your internal organs and digestive system on a regular schedule makes good sense.

It helps you get rid of the 'sludge' of toxins and other non-helpful things that build up in your system over time.* Here's why...

Your Liver -- a Critical Organ to Protect

Your liver, weighing about four pounds, is the second largest organ of your body (your skin is the largest) and its largest gland. It performs more than 500 separate jobs, and is critically involved in every aspect of your metabolism. It's the central 'chemical laboratory' of your body, producing chemicals you need to survive, such as bile, albumin, blood clotting factors, cholesterol, and vitamin E.

Perhaps its most important function is the secretion of bile. This fluid is stored in the gallbladder and released as needed for digestion.

Bile is essential to break down fats into small globules, and also helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and helps assimilate calcium. It converts beta-carotene into vitamin A. Further, it promotes intestinal peristalsis and normal bowel function.

Your liver plays an important role in fat metabolism, and production of cholesterol, lipoproteins, and phospholipids. In a complex process catalyzed by a series of enzymes, your liver converts amino acids (proteins) and lipids into glucose.

Your liver helps regulate normal blood sugar levels, by creating glucose tolerance factor (GTF) from chromium and glutathione. Sugars not needed immediately are stored in the liver and converted back into sugar when needed for energy. Excess food is converted to fat in the liver and carried to your body's fatty tissues for storage. When needed, it provides energy for the brain, heart and muscles.

Your Liver -- Your Body's "Garbage Disposal"

In addition to its important digestion and energy production functions, your liver treats 1.4 liters of blood per minute, acting as your body's garbage disposal, or detoxifier. It eliminates various harmful chemicals from your body...

• Ammonia produced from protein digestion and bacterial fermentation of food in the intestines
• Insecticide residues
• Chlorine, alcohol, and other harmful chemicals

Your liver combines these toxic substances with less toxic ones, then excretes them via the kidneys. So for the liver to function properly, you must also have capable kidney function.

Perhaps in an ideal world -- a world without environmental challenges, stress, and processed foods -- cleansing wouldn't be necessary. But that simply isn't the case for most of us in the 21st century.

You can see why regular cleansing of the body, and especially the liver and colon, is so vital to maintaining your good health.*

Just as dredging is done on our rivers, cleaning your internal organs and digestive system on a quarterly or semiannual schedule with New Start™ makes good sense.*

Why do I recommend New Start™ over other alternatives?

Let me explain...

Seven Reasons to Choose New Start™ for Your Periodic Cleanse

You will find New Start™ to be...

• Quicker -- New Start™ takes only 10 days to get great results (the shortest regimen available among the leading cleansers). So you can promote normal intestinal tract function more quickly.* Why spend 14 days or up to a month, for no good reason?
• Convenient -- Use this easy 10-day program without disrupting your work, school, activity, or home schedule. In fact, it's been specifically designed to eliminate toxins -- NOT your lifestyle!
• Gentle -- New Start™ does not contain harsh stimulant laxatives that make you run for the bathroom, unlike many cleanses on the market that contain ingredients tending to irritate the inside lining of your colon. (This is also unlike those uncomfortable cleanses designed to prepare you for tests like colonoscopies.)
• Complete -- This unique, 3-step system refines, reduces, and releases toxins from your body.* What it does NOT do is introduce new toxins!
• High Quality -- Utilizes wholesome, all-natural dietary fibers that are specially selected and combined into a toxin-absorbing formula for release from your system.*
• Low in allergenic potential* -- No nuts, soy, eggs or milk.
• Simple to understand and easy to use -- This uncomplicated "evening only" cleansing regimen lets you wait till you get home and settled in for the evening. No need to alter your lifestyle for a cleansing program...

And that's just the tip of the iceberg...

Gentle Cleansing Picks Up Where New Start™ Stops

Gentle Cleansing Daily Digestive Maintenance picks up where New Start™ leaves off, giving you ongoing day-to-day support for your digestive tract.* Gentle Cleansing is an advanced dietary approach to gastro-intestinal health and regularity that relies on the natural cleansing power of pure oxygen.*

Gentle Cleansing nourishes and stimulates through the power of our OxyGen activated oxygen-magnesium matrix, combined with vitamin C and bioflavonoids.*

While fiber supplements simply push soft stool through the colon, Gentle Cleansing is designed to nourish and stimulate the bowels to enhance the natural detoxification process.* The result is a cleaner, healthier internal environment.*

Let Proven Gentle Cleansing Protect Your Digestive System
EVERY Day

You're most likely exposed to toxins and stress each and every day of your life!

Reducing the impact of those toxins on a daily basis may make sense for you, especially if you live in or near a big city (pollution and stress), are exposed to second-hand smoke, or eat fast food or convenience food...

Also if you're one of those people who works in a stressful occupation, or runs non-stop all day and well into the evening.

Gentle Cleansing Daily Digestive Maintenance is a preparation containing magnesium hydroxide, bioflavonoids and vitamin C, and has a cleansing gastro-intestinal effect.*

Here's why that's important...

Your Body's Second Brain

A well-functioning intestine equals an effective immune system, enabling you to live optimally and with pep.

Eighty percent of your immune system is in the intestines. Plus, it's the nutritional uptake center of your body. Keeping it healthy will keep you healthy!

Your intestinal nervous system contains just as many neurons as the nervous system in the spinal cord. Because it uses these to communicate with the cells in your body, some people call it your "body's second brain". It truly has great impact on how the rest of your body functions.

The process of digestion involves performing 28,000 different chemical reactions -- making it critically important for you to support your intestinal health and help it usher toxins out of your system.

How effective is Gentle Cleansing?

How Do Clinical Studies Show Gentle Cleansing's Effectiveness?

Two clinical studies in Örebro, Sweden, in cooperation with Universitetssjukhuset (the University Hospital), suggest that Gentle Cleansing effectively supports both digestive and overall health.

Eighty percent of study participants cited improvements in energy level, saying they had more energy to perform normal daily activities.

Participants noted that their health was also supported in these respects:

• Healthy skin, hair and nails
• Calm stomach
• Enhanced outlook on life
• More relaxed overall
• Improved memory skills

In the other study on Gentle Cleansing, efficacy scores were assessed by participants at baseline, 8 weeks, and 24 weeks, in four different measures of health -- general body pain, general health condition, daily activities, and physical activities.

The results showed statistically significant improvements of 33% after a 24-week period in the areas of general pain and general health. Results were pretty well established after only 8 weeks. A slight improvement resulted from continued use for an additional 16 weeks.

In both daily activities and physical activities, the 8-week improvements were maintained at the 8-week level through the 24-week mark.

The tolerability of Gentle Cleansing was excellent, and no tolerability problems were noted throughout the study periods.*

Here's how it works...

3 Simple Steps to a More Refreshed Body*

New Start™ uses a revolutionary, simple 3-step system to gently remove toxins from your body -- Refine -- Reduce -- Remove.

While cleansing is an important part of self-care to promote normal intestinal tract function and provide digestive support*, it must be done with intention. But, much of the work has already been done for you!

New Start™ provides advanced natural solutions for all three phases of cleansing:

Step 1: New Start™ Refine --

• Supports your liver's purifying function*
• Natural botanicals support detoxification*

New Start™ Refine supports your body's cleansing function, particularly your liver, to help with normal detoxification.*

Your body is constantly working to eliminate toxins through your lungs, kidneys, digestive system and especially your liver.

Every minute of every day, your properly functioning liver eliminates small amounts of toxins, heavy metals, bacteria and other impurities from your blood before returning it into circulation. A healthy liver utilizes complex enzymatic processes to metabolize toxins so they can be easily excreted from your body.

Normally, your liver secretes about a quart of bile a day. The function of bile is to carry processed non-functional, non-nutrient environmental compounds and their metabolites, as well as compounds your body normally makes such as cholesterol, to your intestine -- where they're carried out of your body.

Step 2: New Start™ Reduce --

• Traps and binds toxins eliminated by your liver*
• Specialty blend of all-natural fibers bind toxins for transport*

The New Start™ Reduce step involves trapping and binding toxins secreted by your liver.*

Trapping and binding toxins secreted through the bile for transport from the body is crucial for effective support of your body's internal detoxification and cleansing functions.*

If the impurities are not bound by fiber, they become subject to re-absorption and recirculation by your body, ending up where they started, leaving you no better off.

Fibers trap toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, binding them and their metabolites for transport from your body.* Dietary fibers are capable of absorbing non-functional metals, environmental pollutants and even impurities your own body creates in your GI tract.*

The dietary fibers in New Start™ Reduce are an excellent source of fiber and have been:

• Specially selected for their exceptional absorbing capacity that simplifies the effective elimination of entrapped toxins.*
• Combined in a specific proprietary ratio to maximize their ability to resist the breakdown and fermentation by your intestinal flora.*

As I noted previously, the reason we chose all-natural fibers for New Start™ is that they do not re-introduce additional toxins into your body, giving you a cleaner cleanse.

Step 3: New Start™ Release --

• Supports excretion of toxins through bile and intestinal bulk by removing it gently and thoroughly from your body*
• Natural botanicals gently support toxin elimination*

In the third step -- Release -- toxins are gently removed from your body.*

Step 3 is gentle, comfortable and completes your cleanse.

Assisting the trapped toxins to move smoothly through the digestive tract, gently sweepingyour colon of accumulated waste is the final step in New Start™.*

Powerful stimulant laxatives such as Cascara sagrada, psyllium, and senna are not used in New Start™. Why?

Because they can irritate the delicate layer of the intestine so that it sheds -- stimulating bowel movements. This harsh action can cause cramping, bloating and worse. Maybe even leaving you feeling trapped in the bathroom half the day...

New Start™ Release is a gentle formula with a digestive botanical blend that works while you sleep to promote a healthy, comfortable bowel movement soon after waking in the morning.*

How Does New Start™ Stack Up Against the Competition?

Just in case you still have any doubts, here's a breakdown of many of the ways that New Start™ demonstrates superiority over its competition:

Does Life Begin in the Colon... Or Does Death Begin in the Colon?

Either could be true...

"Death begins in the colon" implicates toxins accumulating in your colon. But "Life begins in the colon" because great digestive health is inseparably linked to your total immune health.

The term probiotics actually comes from the Greek, "for life". Probiotics put more LIFE into your life by maximizing the effects of a healthy diet. That's why I recommend you add them to your cleansing program...

Probiotics support your best immune health by replenishing microflora in your intestine for optimal balance, supporting bowel and intestinal health, and optimizing vitamin and mineral absorption from your healthy diet.

Lactobacillus sporogenes found in COMPLETE PROBIOTICS™ are a superior strain of probiotic because they. . .

• Have the best bioavailability for the body.*
• Contain 2 billion live viable lactobacilli that retain their viability during preparation, storage, and shelf life.*
• Effective -- survives the rigorous acidic stomach environment and reach the intestine safely where they proliferate.*

And so much more...

So What Are You Waiting For?
