Primagest
To fully appreciate why the body chemistry support system begins by supplementing with plant source enzymes as we start to transition our diet, it’s necessary to understand a little about what enzymes are, what they do, and how they do it.

Enzymes can be described as tiny units of energy, which are carried by protein molecules. Protein molecules carry enzymes in much the same way a light bulb carries an electric current. Enzymes initiate all cellular activity. In fact, every function that is performed within the body is accomplished by enzyme activity. Without enzymes, there is no life in the body.

Raw foods contain live enzymes that are meant to digest these foods. Any form of processing, such as cooking, drastically reduces the enzyme levels in the foods we eat. When our food doesn’t contain these enzymes, it becomes necessary for the body to sacrifice metabolic enzymes (the life force of the body) for the process of digestion.

After years of eating predominantly cooked diet, our bodies are seriously lacking in the
life force, which can be referred to as the “metabolic enzyme pool”. The average person sacrifices approximately half of their body energy to the digestive process. This is why supplementation for digestive support is an absolute must.

When Primagest is taken every meal, food is digested more completely, leaving less undigested food residue circulating and clogging the tissues. Another important advantage of complete digestion is that the valuable nutrients contained in food are released and made available for body chemistry and cellular use.

With Amylase, Protease, Lipase, Cellulase, Maltase, Lactase and Sucrase, Primagest covers all the bases for digestive support as you begin the program and make the transition toward your ideal diet.

ELECAMPANE: Anti-bacterial used to relieve chronic respiratory congestions and infections. Used to clear excess mucous.

ECHINACEA: Infection fighter and blood purifier. Used for lymph and circulatory clearing.

Detox
To normalize the intestinal tract is to support the body in its efforts to remove the debris accumulated from a lifetime of poor digestion and elimination.

Because of the powerful influence the colon has on health, it is impossible for a person’s health to advance very far beyond the state of this very important organ. The average adult colon has a very high level of toxicity and unfriendly bacteria. It is lined with thick, rubbery mucus. It is physically distorted with structures, ballooning and is quite commonly prolapsed. Because of the many years of poor digestion of “foodless foods” resulting in constipation, gas and many other problems to which the colon falls victim, a healthy, well structured colon is as difficult to find as a like-new Model A Ford. They’re around, but very rare, and are usually the result of a tremendous amount of care.

Our intestinal tract was designed to absorb the nutrients from the food we eat, then to remove the residue completely from the body. Unfortunately, during our lifetime, the intestinal tract becomes sluggish. The waste remains in the colon far too long and is reabsorbed. To maintain proper intestinal health, it is essential to ingest sufficient quantities of fiber.

Detox is a specially balanced formula designed to satisfy the intestinal needs for fiber. Due to the careful ingredient selection and the balance of its formulation, the thousands of Detox users are touting it as being the most effective, yet most comfortable fiber supplement that exists. The exciting thing is, “when all else has failed, it works!!”
