	<description>Holistic Health, by its very definition, is an attitude toward health which includes Diet, Nutrition, Exercise and Lifestyle. I believe that our sense of well being is a reflection of our attitude towards ourselves, others and the world around us.</description>

<h3>Vita-flex treatments for relaxation and energy!</h3>
<p>Vita-Flex is a from of communication that awakens the body&#8217;s ability to heal itself. Being touched can encourage the mind, body and emotions to be reintegrated.</p>
<h3>What is Vita-Flex?</h3>
<p>Vita-Flex Demo</p>
<p>Vita-Flex is a reflexive or pressure point massage that activates reflex points on the feet hands, face scalp and various areas throughout the entire body. It is a tool that assists the body in healing itself by either stimulating depressed areas or depressing over active area as the body deems suitable at the time. One cannot induce more pain or create disease with this technique. The word reflexive means to direct back on to ones self, as it applies to Vita-Flex we stimulate one area of the body to create change and healing in another area. When the technique is applied a minute electrical impulse is sent along channels or meridians to a specific area where the body will either stimulate or depress the region to create balance. The body has a self regulating system that Vita-Flex simply taps into, this makes for quicker and more efficient use of the body&#8217;s healing mechanisms.</p>
<h3>Why Vita-flex is different from reflexology.</h3>
<p>The Vita-Flex technique is unique among the various pressure point therapies in that it is not simply a direct pressure on a point but more like a rotation or swing through the point. The finger is rotated into, then on and then over the point in one smooth movement, A close analogy is to compare the swing of a bat or a golf club, there is the swing into the ball, the strike of the ball and the follow through if all three are not done smoothly or properly one does not get the desired result,</p>
<h3>How many Vita-flex points are there throughout the body?</h3>
<p>There are literally thousands of reflex points all over the body that can be activated. They are set up in a logical fashion. The body has three dimensions so Vita-Flex works in all three dimensions, e.g. if the right front shoulder has been hurt it may cause more pain or injury to massage it directly. In Vita-Flex one can work the front left shoulder, the right back shoulder, the front right hip, the area of the right foot directly below the baby toe and the area below the baby finger on the right hand This is how we work; front to back side to side and top to bottom as we apply Vita-Flex for a specific problem.</p>
<h3>What happens in a Vita-Flex Treatment?</h3>
<p>A Vita-Flex treatment generally takes 45 minutes and follows a specific pattern of points to be done, Some people liken it to a tune up where one feels relaxed yet energized. It can stop or alleviate pain in seconds and relieve most neck and back problems with the application of the Atlas Adjustment, The Atlas Adjustment straightens the top vertebrae of the spine, this in turn starts the spine to receive the proper impulse from the atlas as to the proper position for the rest of the vertebra. Individuals with scoliosis respond and heal in sometimes in as little as a week after this technique has been done. A sure sign the atlas is out of alignment is to have one leg longer than the other because the hips are out of alignment. When the atlas is aligned the legs immediately straighten out and will stay unless an injury or accident befalls the individual where the technique can be reapplied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When considering the question of human wellness today, it is worthwhile to examine the role of nutrition and detoxification in achieving optimal health.</p>
<p>I believe there is one, and only one disease &#8211; and that is toxemia. This can be described as the accumulation in the body of wastes, toxins, or poisons (free radicals). These toxins accumulate primarily as a result of dietary habits, and do so in two different ways.</p>
<p>It is no secret that the typical Western diet consists of over-processed, devitalized foods grown with chemical fertilizers and sprayed with a multitude of toxic chemicals. Ingesting these low-quality, frequently overcooked foods on a regular basis causes malnourishment of the many specialized cells in the body, to the point where they become dysfunctional and die.</p>
<p>A second harmful aspect of the common diet is its high fat and low fiber content &#8211; meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. These foods tend to move through the digestive tract at a quarter of the pace of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fibreless foods tend to be sticky and gooey when digested, adhering easily to the walls of the colon as they pass through. This causes a gradual build-up of toxic residue, as layer upon layer of waste matter accumulates to the point where five to 40 pounds of fecal material can be found residing in this important canal.</p>
<p>Prolapsed Colon<br />
These focal deposits in the bowel may then lead to another condition known as &#8220;prolapsed colon&#8221;. When the muscle tone of the colon is inadequate (unable to deal with the extra pounds weighing it down), it can start to impose on the uterus, ovaries, bladder, and other organs In the abdominal area. No wonder so many women experience reproductive problems and discomforts.</p>
<p>Click here  for information about colon lifts</p>
<p>Cause and Effect<br />
As the environment inside the colon be comes increasingly toxic, parasites, bacteria, fungi, germs and viruses tend to readily proliferate. The fecal matter is very acidic and will, over time, damage the colon wall, leading to inflammation and enlargement of the pores which pass nutrients and moisture between the colon and the bloodstream. These enlarged pores then allow the bacteria and toxins to pass into the bloodstream.</p>
<p>Candida Albicans<br />
Candida Albicans is a new disease receiving increased attention these days. is simply the result of a diseased colon leaking the Candida yeast through the colon wall into the bloodstream which is then carried throughout the body.</p>
<p>Conversely, a healthy colon will properly contain the Candid. yeast, where it can do the job for which it is intended &#8211; making fecal waste biodegradable.</p>
<p>To treat Candida infections, the colon needs first to be detoxified, thereby reducing tissue inflammation, and halting the movement of yeast into the bloodstream. Any therapy or treatment that ignores this important fact will not create long term positive results.</p>
<p>This is much the same for all diseases. As toxins run amuck throughout the body, they settle into the tissue, causing many diseased conditions that are basically symptoms of the same cause, toxemia.</p>
<p>Allopathic Medicine<br />
Allopathic medicine is the treatment of disease using substances that produce effects different from, or opposite to. those produced by the disease. This focus has led to a specific understanding of symptoms but not cause. The absolute simplicity of toxemia as a possible cause of many disease conditions has gone unrecognized as it does not conform to the mind-set which recognizes technology and science as the remedy for the disease process.</p>
<p>I believe that a better understanding of the nature of toxemia can lead to a better understanding of how and why to cleanse and detoxify the body.</p>
<p>Detoxification programs and cleansing diets are some of the methods which can assist the body to rid itself of waste and unhealthy tissue.</p>
<p>Given time, the waste in the colon be comes as hard and black as tire rubber. To aid the body in its elimination process, the severity of the problem must be first recognized. Simply eating a high fiber diet will not cleanse the body, and fasting one day a week, although beneficial, has its limitations. Therefore, a sustained program of treatment lasting several months is recommended to loosen and dislodge impacted waste. In addition, it is important to cleanse the body and its tissues of accumulated toxins at the cellular level.</p>

<p><strong>June 16, 1991, marked the passing of Stanley Burroughs, a pioneer in the field of alternative health care.</strong> Author of Healing for the Age of Enlightenment, and The Master Cleanser, Stanley was a man renowned for his research into the role of toxemia in disease.</p>
<p>Since his research and writings have influenced my own life and work to such a great extent, I feel compelled to share with you some of the highlights of one of his most important therapeutic tools the Master Cleanser Lemonade Fast.</p>
<p>It was in 1979 that I under took a specific type of cleansing program in order to prove to my room-mate it would not work! This program involved the Lemonade Diet, developed by Burroughs in 1941. It initially came about in response to his need to find a better method to treat ulcers, and it was some years later that he realized that this diet treated many other diseases successfully, and he named it the Master Cleanser.</p>
<p>This cleansing program worked so well for me that I went on to study all of Stanley Burroughs work and through 1980 I did 100 days in total of the Master Cleanser program and never felt better in my life.</p>

<p>Specific Procedures</h3>
<p>The Master Cleanser is a liquid mono-diet that cleanses and detoxifies the body as it stimulates healthy tissue growth. It consists of fresh lime or lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper mixed with water and drunk 6-12 times a day. A herbal laxative tea is taken twice a day, and no other food is consumed.</p>
<p>This regimen that can  be followed for 10 days, and may also be safely extended to 40 or more days, depending upon a persons physical condition.</p>
<h3>Toxemia and Disease</p>
<div id="attachment_483" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://vitagem.com/wp-content/uploads/cayennepepper.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-483" title="cayennepepper" src="http://vitagem.com/wp-content/uploads/cayennepepper-300x199.jpg" alt="red peppers for the master cleanse" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Organic cayenne pepper.</p></div></h3>
<p>To understand why this therapeutic diet works its necessary to understand what disease is from a holistic perspective. Dis-ease is simply the accumulation of wastes, toxins, or poisons in the body, which in turn creates the myriad of symptomatic illnesses we are seeing so prevalent in people to day.</p>
<p>The glands and organs of our eliminative systems can easily become overwhelmed by wastes from poor diet, lack of exercise, tension, air and water pollution etc. As much as several pounds of waste can literally become impacted in the colon, adhering to the walls. Over time, the waste will then begin to leach into the blood stream. causing it to be re-circulated throughout the body, and settle into the tissues and cells. This settling of toxins is the final step that acts as a precursor to disease because its constant presence weakens the cells and eventually the entire immune system.</p>
<p>It stands to reason, then, that cleansing the body of this accumulated waste serves to rejuvenate the innate healing mechanisms of the body. so that they can function at optimal capacity to restore health and vitality, the less toxicity that is present in  the body, the greater our vital force becomes.</p>
<h3>Physiological Process</h3>
<p>Because the act of digesting food consumes our energy on an ongoing basis, it follows that the elimination of solid food for short periods of time will make the energy normally used for digestion available for the process of detoxification. Thus the first step is to stop eating food so that the lemonade drink can commence its work.</p>
<p>Because the lemonade drink is easily assimilated, it places little or no demand on the digestive system. Fresh squeezed lemon juice is a powerful cleanser for the body, and is also high in vitamins. Additionally, it is the only fruit or vegetable to contain cationic and anionic minerals.<br />
Lemon also helps loosen and break up mucus in the body. Mucus is one of the body&#8217;s defenses to protect it self against irritations. When too much mucus settles in any one area, dis-ease is the natural outcome.</p>
<p>Those of you familiar with color therapy will also know that lemon, when consumed fresh squeezed, releases the color that stimulates the body to cleanse itself.</p>
<p>Cayenne pepper, another key ingredient of the diet, breaks up this mucous and acts as a cleanser for the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems. It is used by herbalists to treat a wide range of problems and to enhance the effectiveness of many other herbs.</p>
<p>The maple syrup provides energy from an unprocessed sugar which still contains many of its original nutrients.</p>
<p>The absence of minerals and vitamins in processed sugars makes the digestive system rob the body of these precious nutrient stores in order to metabolize the sugars. If too many processed foods are eaten, the pancreas seems to one of the first organs affected, often resulting in hypoglycemia and then further deterioration of the pancreas.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_485" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 106px"><a href="http://vitagem.com/wp-content/uploads/images-7.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-485" title="laxative" src="http://vitagem.com/wp-content/uploads/images-7.jpg" alt="laxative for cleanse" width="96" height="110" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Choose an effective Organic Laxative</p></div>
<p>The herbal laxative tea is used to stimulate peristalsis of the colon, since the only other way to do it is to eat a diet high in fiber. The lemonade drink, or Master Cleanser, having no fiber, must use a laxative to remove the waste as it is being shed from the colon wall, otherwise it will stay in the body, leading to tiredness and any number of problems.</p>
