Hello, everyone, Vanda Maria of Raw And Well, today, I’m here answering a question. And I hope it will be helpful on your journey.

And so the question is, what does a detox program involve? Okay, so this question could be answered in many different ways.

And the first thing I’m going to say it, it’s gonna depend right? On the person that you’re working with the professional you’re working with.

So I’m going to speak for myself, and, you know, others will work with their clients in a different way, right, even though they might be using the same modality.

And they might have learned from the same people or person whose modality were putting forward, right.

And so that’s the basis of an it’s the knowledge that we have, how we work with our clients is going to depend how we experienced our own journey, how many clients we’ve worked with, and how much we learn from each client that we work with.

And that going forward, we change things up and kind of learn from our mistakes, our experiences with others, and kind of, you know, use that going forward.

And so for me, what a detox program involves, is really, you know, going through an onboarding process, that’s how things get started, right.

And the first time I speak to my clients, I ask them certain questions, that’s usually during, like, what we call a, a quick call that we have, that we put in place that’s free, right, and we call it a discovery call, right?

And we kind of find out where the person is, and what they’re looking to do. But the onboarding process, the way I work with my clients is always going to be the same, I’m going to need a few things.

Information wise, just like any other practitioner, or even a doctor, right would require from you to initiate to start the process to see what’s going on, right.

And so when you want to work with me, there’s two things that I do that are really important as I send out a health questionnaire that needs to be filled out, and signed and sent back to me, right. And along with that, is also photos of both your right and left thigh.

And I send instructions on how you could achieve that, right. And then that gets submitted to me as well. And I take those two things.

And for me, it’s like putting the puzzle pieces together combining the two which is symptomology.

And the other one is a tool that we use to see what’s going on in your body, right, your cells, the your lymphatic system, your digestive system, all of our different systems, right, and all our different organs and glands, we could see through the iris of our eye.

And of course, since we’re bilateral beings, we need both the right and the left side.

Hello, everyone, Vanda Maria of Raw And Well, today, I am answering another live question.

How long does it detox program last? Okay. I’m gonna start here. And I hope it’s taken in the right way. So when we go into detox, we call it a journey, a lifestyle, we want to develop a lifestyle around detox.

Detox doesn’t happen overnight. It took us decades, and even several generations, why we are feeling the way we’re feeling and why we have come to understand that we need to detox, right?

It’s not about treating the symptoms. It’s about removing the waste accumulation in the body.

Waste could be anything from metabolic waste, from things that we consume, that we put on our bodies that we are around and continue to inhale that right. Anything that you inhale, you’re consuming.

The body has to process that any negative things that we consume, and that were around even other people’s energies will affect how long do we have to detox for.

And so everybody’s going to be different. Everybody is going to have their set of problems that their experience or symptoms, and we don’t want to treat those symptoms, we want to address the root cause and strengthen that.

So the body can then get rid of the symptoms, the symptoms are only there to it’s the body’s way of war warning us and waking us up. But instead, we want things to happen overnight.

We want things to happen. We want instant gratification, right? And that’s not what detox is about. Detox is about creating a lifestyle that is sustainable for you.

At that time, right, and we evolve from there. And that lifestyle, we keep improving 1% better each day one by 1% better version of ourselves today than we were yesterday. Right?

So to go into this, asking, you know, and having that be in our thoughts, it’s only going to slow us down even more, right?

Because worry and fear are going to interfere with how quickly our bodies can release these obstructions, this accumulation we have created in our bodies and our lymphatic system, etc. Right?

All our organs, cells, tissue, everything gets affected, the symptoms are only there again, as warnings, right?

And so we don’t address the symptoms, therefore the body has to go through the process of elimination in order for us to resolve a lot of these symptoms and issues that we’ve created, right. And so the body heals in reverse.

What Is Organic Food?

What Is Organic Foods?

Organic Food Definition

Understanding Organic Foods

While most of us have heard about organic foods we may not have that much of an idea about what this term means. So where can you get this information without getting bogged down by the technical jargon. There are a number of different places like dictionaries, encyclopedias, television shows and even the internet. The main item to remember when you are looking for organic food definition is in many cases the standard answer.

Feature Two

Now that we have covered the organic food definition is short we should take a closer look at this subject. For any food to be classified as being an organic food it needs to be free from all genetically modified internal cell structures. The plant must be like the ones that you see growing in the wild – but ones that we can eat without getting poisoned – and their inner cell structure should not have been tampered with.

Feature Two

Next the land that you are choosing to plant these 100% organic plants should be absolutely free from all traces of chemicals. To allow the land time to recover from the abuse of these harmful products like chemicals and pesticides you should uproot any chemically treated plants. Then you will need to leave the land alone for about 2 to 4 years.

Feature Three

This time period will allow the land to recover from the various chemicals which were heaped on it. Once you are sure that the land is ready for planting begin by fertilizing the land with organic fertilizers. These fertilizers will help prepare the land for plants. The first phase of organic food definition includes the preparation of the land where the food is to be grown.

Feature Three

Now you can plant your organic plant into the soil. Using only techniques which are healthy for your garden or land you should make sure that friendly bugs and plants are used to protect your garden’s harvest from plant hungry insects.

Feature Four

The entire combination package of chemical free land, organically produced plants and environmentally safe pesticides – read spiders and ladybugs here – along with protective, sweet smelling (to us that is) plants is what is ultimately meant by the organic food definition.

From Seed To Plate – Easy Organic Growing

Raw Lifestyle /

Purchasing organic foods is a rapidly growing trend in the U.S. and all signs say that going organic is no passing fad. Today, a majority of Americans (74 percent) purchase organic food and beverages because they believe it is healthier-and safer-for themselves and their families.

Recent evidence suggests that organically grown crops contain higher levels of vitamin C, polyphenols (naturally occurring antioxidants) and some minerals. Just as important to many families is the fact that organic fruits and vegetables are never grown with synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides or growth regulators. People feel safer without these chemicals in the produce they eat.

Growing your own organic produce has never been easier. In fact, organic growing can be as simple as planting seeds in a pot or two in the backyard or even on your kitchen windowsill. Before you know it, your own fresh and fragrant, homegrown vegetables and herbs will be ready for the dinner table. No compost piles or expert growing skills required–only seeds, soil, water and a little nurturing.

Here are a few easy tips on how to get started:

Windowsill Growing

You can begin growing your own organic food right on your kitchen windowsill. Seeds of Change offers a variety of options to get you growing, including 100% Certified Organic seeds grown by a network of family-owned, certified organic farmers.

Water

Drink More Water For More Energy

Detox, Raw and Well /

What makes up 70-80% of our planet? Water. What makes up 70-80% of our body? That’s right, water.

Water is the single most important nutrient you will give your body apart from oxygen. Water rejuvenates us and carries vital nutrients all-round the body where it’s needed. Water picks up all the leftovers, wastes and debris that the cells throw off into the lymph system and transport them out of the body via the channels of elimination.

Drink More Water

So, when you drink more water it has the double combination of feeding your body and clearing you of all the waste products that were built up in your system.

Your brain needs water, and plenty of it. Without water, your brain will operate worn out, tired and sluggish. Water is the ultimate gift to give yourself to think with clarity. In addition, water acts as a kind of healthy lubricant moistening tissues and joints.

When you drink, you want to avoid tap water. Tap water is more like a dazzling mix of chemicals. It contains fluoride, chlorine, and many others. The amount of chemicals in water will fill up books – it’s more like a chemical soup. The evidence that fluoride is poisonous is so overwhelming that it’s being pushed to be banned in many countries by action groups.

Satisfy Your Thirst

The thirst mechanism when having been turned off for a prolonged period is often mistaken for hunger. As you drink more water your thirst mechanism will return to its natural state. Not only will you begin to feel thirsty when you need water again, but your appetite will decrease.

This brings us to the next big thing you need to understand about water. If I asked you the difference between inorganic and organic minerals, chances are you couldn’t tell me, right? Well let’s briefly explain the difference. It’s a simple difference. Organic minerals come from plants; inorganic minerals come from rocks and volcanic sources. Organic minerals can be broken down by the body. Inorganic minerals are not used by the body and are stored until suitable water can come and carry them out. Organic minerals can be broken down by the body, while inorganic cannot. One is derived from natural plant life; one is derived from rocks, filings and small pieces of grit. Which one makes more sense to use?

It’s better to get your plant minerals through the food you eat rather than the inorganic form in water. Bottled water is often taken, tested and found to have bacteria and very often isn’t rated much better than tap water.

Pure H2O

Pure H2O

Do you know the best water to use? The best water to use is the same water you use in your iron. The purest water in the world is distilled water. It’s as pure as rainwater should be if our atmosphere wasn’t polluted.

If you haven’t yet heard that 70% of the world’s population is dehydrated – you will soon, as the UN push to get proper water supply to people in the third world.

The second-best method of filtering is a type of filtering called “reverse osmosis”. Unfortunately, the standard bench top filter isn’t enough.

Most of the nasty contaminants in our water simply don’t have a taste. Some people feel it’s a case of out of sight out of mind. This may work for things people think, yet when it comes to your body, the life of your children, the health of those you care about and the line between getting cancer and surviving it’s far short of acceptable.

The opportunity for energy, for vitality, for a quality of life is only known to a select few who choose to raise their standards and take action to apply what they know. New discoveries are being made all the time as new research comes out of the United States, out of Germany, and out of Australia and other countries. How does this apply to me you may ask? Well, these contaminants can kill you. Is this a reason to get upset? No, it’s simply an action signal to act smarter.

The best bit is when you’re drinking absolutely pure distilled water it is so much easier to drink. It’s so easy to refreshingly flood your body with purity that will flush out chemicals, clear out the lymph system and contribute to expelling excess weight in the body. Distilled water is so easy to drink and be absorbed by your body without having to flush out the other nasties first that many people report who were struggling to drink half a liter of water a day, are now drinking 4 liters a day and up, with ease! If you can’t get distilled water, reverse osmosis filtered or table water is the next best option.

Many people in third world countries don’t have access to a clean water supply. We in developed countries have currently almost unlimited access to clean water. My suggestion to you is to use it!
