Cleansing the Body, Dr. David K. Hill. There are a number of cleanses associated with healthy detoxification of the body and essential oils. Dr. David Hill in September of 2010 gave a presentation, with the introduction of a cleansing product from doTERRA named Zendocrine, on cleansing protocols and how they work in the body. A summary of that presentation is on the tab Science and Research above.
There are many cleanses that different folks have advocated. We will list here some of the more often mentioned and what their benefits are. Under the Procedures tab we will include some experiences people have had.
Quotable Quotes about cleanses:

are designed to detoxify our bodies."

Isolated Cleanses
A more aggressive, time
period specific cleanse that may address
one area of the body.
Herxheimer reactions
Since Isolated Cleanses are oft time an aggressive
approach to cleansing body organs they can release
massive quantities of toxins that have been within the
body, especially from those that have had health
problems. These released toxins can cause
uncomfortable reactions as they exit the body through
the bowels or skin. Some may experience digestive
disruption, others rashes or other skin disorders.The general advice is to slow the cleanse by reducing or spacing the cleansing agents to find a comfortable level, but to continue the cleanse. Also consider a period of preparation with a nutritional cleanse as described above.
doTERRA GX Assist
·
3 GX Assist capsules daily for 10 days. Best taken
with meals. If uncomfortable reactions reduce the
number of daily capsules.
·
Follow with PB Assist, a probiotic, to build healthy
digestive functions. 3 capsules per day, with meals, for
5 days.
·
Wait 15 days, repeat. Do this 3 times. (repeat 15 day
protocol for 3 months)
Candida Cleanse
This is a cleanse similar to the GX Assist but using
individual essential oils. It also is highly
effective against Candida or yeast infections that
affect many.

The Master Cleanse or Lemonade
Diet - Stanley Burroughs
(contributed by Robert James)
The Master Cleanser is a way to cleanse the body of
toxins and reduce the cravings we experience from eating
junk food. The cleanse involves drinking only Lemonade
made from fresh Lemon juice, Grade B/Medium maple syrup,
water and Cayenne Pepper. No solid food can be eaten for
the duration of the cleanse.The Lemonade is best taken at room temperature. The master cleanse is technically not a "fast" and proponents say it is more gentle on the body because it does contain some essential vitamins and minerals.
According to proponents it is recommended to be on the cleanse for a minimum of ten days, but it is not uncommon for people to stay on the cleanse for longer periods of time, even as long as 45 days.
A good indicator of when you should end the cleanse is when the coating on your tongue clears up and your tongue is nice and pink in the morning. This indicates that your body has cleared out most toxins. But you must judge for yourself when to end the diet.
For me, personally, I experience a high influx of energy and a feeling of euphoria after about the 2nd or 3rd week.
The following quantities of each ingredient are required (some adjustment may be required for non-average sized people, large or small.) These amounts are for all the Lemonade you need for 1 day that is 2 quarts.
· 14 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
· 14 Tablespoons (Grade B) Maple Syrup
· 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper – or to taste (as much as
you can stand)
· 2 quarts of water
· Drink at room temperature.
· 10 to 45 days are mentioned
It is essential to go off of the cleanse slowly. The lack of solid foods for such long periods requires careful breaking, as gut flora need to re-develop and mucus linings re-build. This usually involves drinking "full strength" juices for a day or two, while slowly adding in soups, then fruit, vegetables and nuts before resuming a regular diet. I would definitly use the PB Assist probiotics during the cleanse to help re-establish a healthy intestinal culture. Some individuals have returned to their healthy diet the following day after stopping the program without any problems, but this is rare and not recommended especially for first timers.
Others also recommend coupling the Master Cleanse with Slim & Sassy or Grapefruit water (1 to 2 drops in 8 ounces of water) and/or the AromaTouch Technique. Also topical application of essential oils directly to the area of the liver with warm compresses (Helichrysum, etc.).
The Lawton Foot Technique -
Dr. Sue Lawton
(contributed by Pat Leavitt)
This is particularly good for pain as well as pulling
toxins from the body. Have on hand the following:
2 large 9x13 glass Pyrex baking pans and a pair of boot
socks
· Place the pans in the oven, with the setting on bake
at 180 degrees
· Sit your friend in a comfortable chair
· Apply topically the oils of your choosing with a
carrier for easy of spreading. Cover all of both feet
· Citrus oils for detoxification
· Frankincense or other antibiotic oils such as
On Guard, Melissa depending on their specific needs.
· Place the heavy boot socks on each foot. If you do
not have boot sock just put on double sport socks.
· Place the covered feet in the warmed Pyrex dishes and
cover each foot with a warm moist towel, followed by a
dry towel.
· While their feet are simmering, let them rest until
the heat has left (usually about 30 minutes) or you can
use those same oils and do a AromaTouch Hand Massage, or
using the oils in the AromaTouchTechnique kit.
