WHAT IS NATUROPATHIC DETOXIFICATION?

You now realize what toxicity is, it's the build up of internal bodily poisons that have accumulated in the body over a life time, that begins to interfere with the efficiency of the metabolic process.
   
The question now is how do we correct this problem?
   
In allopathic drug medicine the concept of toxicity is foreign, so it is seldom addressed, it's often compounded by more toxic drugs.
   
Even the medical treatment for such conditions as drug, tobacco and alcohol addiction is more drugs which in turn produce more addiction. The root of the problem. On the physical level it's toxicity and that is not addressed by orthodox drug medicine.
   
The root of the cause on a mental, emotional and phycological level is often suppressed with more drugs, therefore more toxicity and the spiritual aspect of the human being is simply denied, danced around, ignored, excused away and in effect not addressed by orthodox medicine.
   
Fasting is the most direct path to detoxification. It is mankind's oldest natural healing modality. It detoxifies body, mind and spirit. Animals instinctively, naturally and automatically fast when ill, diseased, wounded or injured. You cannot force and animal to eat when it's body's chemistry is out of balance.
   
The ancient Israelites fasted for physical, mental and spiritual purposes on a regular basis. They were the healthiest race of people in the world at that time. True fasting means no food or liquid nutrition except distilled water. True spiritual fasting is no food or water.
   
Many health resorts and spas throughout the world attribute their success to some form of fasting.
   
At Abunda Life we believe in and we like the benefits and results of fasting, but we have discovered from our experience that after a few short days of fasting the body's glycogen reserves become depleted, there's not a whole lot of energy to do much else. Most individuals are not able to engage in much physical activity while fasting. That's why some fasting spas simply put people on complete bed rest during the fast, they don't even permit TV or reading.
   
We developed a program clinically about 20 years ago that we call "Naturopathic Detoxification." The program accomplishes most of the benefits of true fasting . Although most people will experience a mild to moderate withdrawal as a result of going off coffee, tobacco, alcohol, fried foods, sugar, white flour products and junk foods. Physical and mental energy, strength and endurance actually increases during the detoxification process. This enables us to put our guests on an intensive program that includes exercise and many other health enhancing benefits.
   
When you go on the Naturopathic Detoxification Program, you get all your nutrition. You temporarily step back from eating. You get all your nutrition in the form of five delicious and highly nutritious health drinks a day. The health drinks are in the form of raw juices, potassium broths, amino acid drinks, green drinks, fiber drinks and the super food drinks.
   
Each of your liquid meals is supplemented with natural vitamins, minerals, herbs and enzymes, a total of 50 to 60 natural food supplements a day and a rejuvenator drink containing liquid minerals, aloe vera, herbs, electrolytes and super tonic.
   
As incredible as this may seem, you will receive more nutrition without eating than you've gotten in a long time eating your meals. This is especially true if you've been eating a typical diet.
   
The best part of all of your nutrition is assimilable.
   
The net result is more available bio energy which enables your body to detoxify in a similar manner as fasting.
   
Most people don't realize the tremendous amount of bio energy that is required for digestion, assimilation and elimination. This becomes especially true if a persons diet is heavy in meat and processed foods, white flour products, sugar and junk foods.
   
A life time of indulging in Baskin Robbins, Dunkin Donuts, Whoppers, Diet sodas, Golden fries, Pizza Hut and Sunday junk foods is not without long term detrimental effects. We are what we eat.
   
During your detoxification process at Abunda Life, you will be drinking a gallon a day of pure distilled water. This is what the program requires in order to flush, cleanse, purify, wash and detoxify a life time accumulation of toxins from your blood, stomach, colon, intestines, liver, glands, organs, nerves, brains, and every cell of your body.
   
This process is being monitored daily throughout your urine. 99 times out of 100 there is no reason to intervene in the program, but it is possible to detoxify too fast or too slow. It's possible for your body to require more electrolytes or minerals, or water or you may require more rest. If that's the case , we will be right there to help supervise you through the process.
   
Naturopathic schools thoroughly train naturopathic doctors in the detoxification process. Naturopaths are the most qualified of all practitioners in this natural healing modality.
   
At Abunda Life we take our work seriously. This detoxification process is not for everyone. It is not the silliness that some people call detoxification. It is certainly not the mindlessness that our Orthodox drug medicine professionals calls detoxification, substituting one drug for another. Real detoxification is not for whiners, complainers, and people who must drug every minor discomfort. This program requires a mental commitment.
   
Naturopathic detoxification works. It rids the body of a lifetime accumulation of morbific material. Some people have literally transformed their lives. During the process you will be addressing deeply lodged environmental and metabolic toxins with a special treatment called " The Fat Burning And Internal Purification Room." This treatment sweats out toxins inside at cell level.
   
Another Abunda Life treatment will assist in the detoxification process are the ozone bath treatments, skin brushing, colon hydrotherapy, message, thalasso therapy, herbs, ocean bathing, fresh air walks on the ocean and lots of special supervised exercise.
   
No form of detoxification is pleasant because it usually is accompanied withdrawal symptoms. Toxicity crisis and sometimes the healing crisis. There's an ancient proverb that says, "One must first get worse before they get better." This is often true with people who have not taken care of themselves. Others feel better than they have felt in a long, long time from the first day of the detox process and continue increasingly more energetic. Each person's body is different. This is why we monitor you daily.
In Summary:
   
The crux of the Abunda Life program is a process we developed twenty years ago called "Naturopathic Detoxification."
   
The design and purpose of program is to speed up the body's processing of metabolic, endogenous and morbific waste materials.

   
The net result is the lowering of the body's total level of toxicity.
   
We believe that toxicity is the primary cause of all Imbalanced and bodily interference with the innate and the common denominator of all known disease. It is also a major factor in overweight, excess body fat, fatigue, compromised immune system, mal nutrition and stress.
   
When we reduce the body's total level of toxicity, we free up bio energy that was being used to neutralize toxicity. Most people have no idea of the cost in bio energy it takes to neutralize tobacco, sugar, alcohol, drugs and junk foods.
   
A detoxified body is a energetic body, free from the encumbrances of poisons that interfere with every bodily process and are at the root of every known human disease.
The medical model is disease, caused primary by germs. A medical doctor fights disease by treating disease symptoms. How does he do this? Primary by drugs.
   
The naturopathic model is different. We believe the human body was created to be vibrantly healthy for 120 years, that our creator designed us not for sickness, but high level wellness (Genesis 6:3) (111 John 2.).
   
We believe all human conditions less than optimal wellness is due to interference with the innate.

What is the innate?

It is the natural healing life force that our creator programmed into our immune systems, subconscious minds and spirits, designed before the foundation of the world (John 1:1), (John 17:24), (Ephesians 1:4).
   
The innate is the healing force within, we are designed for perfect health and high level wellness. Cut your finger and 10,000 times 10,000 natural processes go into action to protect, cleanse, repair, mend, restore, and heal that finger automatically without you giving the matter even a thought.
   
The process is going on in each of your four trillion cells 24 hours a day. The process is known as homeostasis.

Orthodox drug medicine has 26,000 names for 26,000 different diseases and a corresponding drug treatment for most of these known diseases.
   
Naturopathic medicine goes back to the principle of the innate which states that the body was designed to be ultimately well. (Genesis 1:31). We believe if the body is not well there must be a cause. In most cases we are the cause. We create our own diseases by causing a obstruction, imbalance or interference with the innate.

WHAT CAUSES A INTERFERENCE IN THE INNATE?

In naturopathic medicine we do not have 26,000 names, there are only about 7 basic causes for interference with the innate, namely:

1. Toxicity, (usually due to junk foods, medication, faulty life style, constipation, alcohol, overeating, tobacco, drugs of any and all types, stress, anxiety, processed foods, sugar, fried food).

2. Nutritional, we are made from the dust of the ground. This means the minerals and nutrients which come from the earth. When we become deficient in any one or the 100 known nutrients, our bodies begin to break down.

3. Structural Imbalance, (usually due to lack of exercise, poor musculature, or spinal subluxation.)

4. Genetic, (the sins of the 3rd and 4th generation.

5. Circulation, (usually due to one or more of the above.

6 Trauma.

7. Meta-Physical, (This term means above the physical or reasons other than physical such as emotions, mental, psychological and spiritual. It encompasses such areas as relationships, our work, our self image and relationship with our creator.)
   
Out of the seven toxicity is not only the most common, but it usually accompanies the other six.The Abunda Life Program directly addresses the primary cause behind most health problems, toxicity.
   
In naturopathic medicine, we fight toxicity, we do not treat disease, we treat the overall health of the entire body. We believe this is best served by first going through the Naturopathic Detoxification Program.
   
In naturopathic medicine, we fight toxicity, we do not treat disease, we treat the overall health of the entire body. We believe this is best served by first going through the naturopathic detoxification process. This is our contribution to humanity. We do it better than any profession on the face of the earth. Naturopathic medicine is primary the science of detoxification.
   
Every known healing modality works better after the body has been detoxified, nutrition, homeopathy, chiropractic, fitness medicine, hypnotherapy, orthomolecular etc.

THE ABUNDA LIFE NATUROPATHIC DETOXIFICATION PROGRAM

The Crux of the Abunda Life Program and the reason for our incredible results is a self healing, self correcting and self adjusting process called “Naturopathic Detoxification. We developed this program clinically in 1964. Since then tens of thousands of people from all over the world have experienced renewed vigor and amazingly higher levels of physical, mental and spiritual well being. There is no program like this in America.

After 25 years of clinical experience we have observed that most people’s weight, energy and health problems stem from the long term cumulative effects of a faulty diet and poor eating habits. Most people are over-stuffed and undernourished.
   
At Abunda Life we reverse this life sapping, health debilitating process. Your body gets a rest from foods. You receive your nutrition in the form of five delicious nutritious raw juice and super drinks a day. Your health drinks are supplemented with natural vitamins, amino acid chelated minerals, natural food supplements, herbal, enzyme and nutritional therapy.

While at Abunda Life you will eat less while you drink more and get more nutrition than you have in a long, long time. Every cell of your body and brain will literally be saturated with live nutrients.

Robert H. Sorge N.D., Ph.D. Naturopath and Holistic Director and Gloria Sorge, Program Director and Manager of Abunda Life Health Retreat. At Abunda Life your program is professionally supervised. You are monitored every day. You receive large amounts of natural food supplements, raw juices and Super Drinks, five times a day... The results are amazing!

By taking a rest from food for a while your body will go through self healing process not recognized in orthodox drug medicine known as “Detoxification.” Years of garbage cleans out at cell level.
   
We believe that detoxification is the first step in the total wellness process. Programs that do not address detoxification are unable to get to the core of most health, weight and energy problems, their results will be short lived because they're unable to build on a solid foundation of clean, healthy and rejuvenated cells.
   
Naturopathic detoxification gives us almost the same benefits of fasting, without fasting. On a fast one would be permitted distilled water only. Although we believe in fasting the problem is after a few days most people get too weak to engage in other activities.
   
Naturopathic detoxification is different, you get large amounts of nutrients from your health drinks and natural food supplements. Physical and mental energy is quite high so you are able to follow a vigorous physical and mental training program while your body detoxifies.
   
Because some people are extremely toxic it is necessary that we professionally monitor your detoxification process on a daily basis. Some people go through a healing crisis or toxemia crisis where they actually feel worse for a few days before they feel better. This is why a program of this type be professionally supervised.
   
In allopathic medicine there are 26,000 names for 26,000 different diseases. In Naturopathic Medicine we say there is one common denominator to all disease and that is TOXICITY.

TOXICITY IS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF ALL DISEASES AND IS A ROOT CAUSE OF OVER-FAT WEIGHT

One of the main causes of putting on excess body-fat weight is a faulty metabolism. A lifetime of poor living habits eventually manifests itself in highly toxic condition of waste material build up at a faster rate than they can be thrown off efficiently. The bio-energy required to maintain an effective metabolic process is not available because it has been rerouted and dissipated in the neutralization of toxins.
   
Most over-fat people's metabolisms operate at a snails pace. We believe the reason for this is a basically toxic condition caused by a lifetime of devitalized diet, high refined foods, enzyme dead foods, saturated and hydrogenated fats, cooked foods, sugars, food coloring, food preservatives and other plastic substances that we call food.
   
One of the reasons calorie counting diets don't work is most of the time we never address the cause. Over-fat is not caused by calories. Some people eat 20 to 35,000 calories a day and never gain an ounce.
   
We believe the main reason people who lose weight on a calorie counting diet blow up so fast and gain all the weight back plus some, is the issue of toxicity. Toxicity has never been addressed. In naturopathic medicine we believe that toxicity is the common denominator of all disease. Why should it be any different with a faulty metabolism, that eventually becomes an over-fat weight condition?
   
For years we've heard the orthodox drug profession blame much of the over weight problem on a faulty thyroid. Seldom does this profession explain how the thyroid gland gets messed up. It seems their solution again is not deal with the cause, but drug the effect.
   
It's no mystery, a bug didn't bite the thyroid. The thyroid like all other glands needs unique nutrients for it to function optimally. In naturopathic medicine we call this the “Chemical Story.” Each system of the body needs different elements.
   
The thyroid gland controls body's elimination channels. In naturopathic medicine we believe when these channels are blocked or toxic the control system will malfunction. Almost like a backed up furnace can cause the thermostat on your wall to malfunction.
   
For thirty years Abunda Life has gotten incredible results. No other organization in the world has gotten the all over results that we have. No if's and's or but's about it. We help people to take fat off their bodies.
   
People from all over the world have asked us for our secret herbs, vitamins and supplements. We explain that we do use exceptional health products, but they are just part of what we do.
   
We believe that the starting point of all physical achievement is naturopathic detoxification. We have stuck to these naturopathic principles for thirty years and as a result we have gotten results that people have never even dreamed possible.
   
The primary Abunda Life principle that the World's Greatest Body-Fat Loss Program is geared around is naturopathic detoxification.
   
This means we temporarily take you off eating. All of your meals are gotten out of the Champion Juicerator or Vitamix. All of your nutrition is derived from five delicious and highly nutritious, easy to digest health drinks each day. With up to 50 to 100 natural food supplements a day and a minimum of a gallon of special ozone compressed distilled water.
