Benefits of doing the Clean 9 other than weight loss

The main ingredient in our 9 day cleanse is our best seller, Aloe Vera Drinking Gel.  While it is not sold for it's taste or packaging.  It is clear why 50% of our US 2.7 billion dollars worth of sales is attributed to this bad boy.  Forever Living Products owns more than 80% of the world's cultivated Aloe. We do not sell it to anyone. It is used for our consumption only.  This drink is as close as you will get to drinking the real thing.  Just in case your grannie did not tell you the benefits of Aloe, read on below.

Aloe was used by Cleopatra in her daily beauty regime.  Gandhi was quoted as saying his secret to long life is praying everyday and drinking Aloe and Alexander the Great conquered an entire island just for the Aloe.  Mentioned in the Bible and the Quran; clearly this is clearly not a new discovery.


Over 70% of our immune system is in our gut.  So it stands to reason that having a healthy gut is a huge part of being healthy and Aloe is the best natural gut cleaner there is.  It is also a natural anti-inflammatory and "itis" means inflamed. That means EVERYTHING ending in "itis" can be soothed by Aloe. Diverticulitis, Gastritis, Arthritis, Sinusitis and the list goes on. Not to mention bloated intestines, imagine having Aloe pass through them and soothe while doing so, voila, bloating over.

In my personal experience the first thing I noticed was sleeping better.  Prior to drinking the Gel I tossed and turned all night.  Now I sleep like a baby.  One of my customers who did the Clean 9 for weight loss purposes said she slept a full ten hours straight for the first time in over ten years.  So who do you know who has insomnia?

I've also played hockey for the last fifteen years and most of it was played in pain.  Starting with a back injury very young, then torn ligaments and constant shin and groin injuries.  This year I was asked to help out and went back in the goal without any form of training.  It's been two months and I have never felt so good. I have NEVER played so pain free before.  Who do you with joint/sports injuries? Now keep in mind that I have been drinking this every morning for the last 2 years.  So please do not expect ten years of arthritis to be gone in three bottles, especially at the minimum dose.

Aloe is such a great cocktail of nutrients, honestly the list will go on much longer than I can type.  Doing the Clean 9 will almost drown your body in this precious plant.  Your absorption will be improved, therefore making your food intake more efficient.  Your meds (if on any) will be more effectively absorbed as well, helping it to work better.  I have even had customers attribute their pregnancies to having done the Clean 9.

Your skin will glow, your energy levels will soar, your overall health will improve and any excess weight you have will shed.  Can you find one good reason why you shouldn't cleanse?  I definitely can't think of one.

Frequently Asked Questions on our 9 day cleanse

I’m interested in cleansing but I do not have weight to lose. I am already slim. I do not want to disappear.
If you have no weight to lose, you will not lose weight.  In fact getting rid of toxins helps the body absorb all the nutrients that may have previously been wasted.  The first two days of the programme is crucial and you have to stick to those, after that you may increase your calorie intake during days 3 to 9 if you are worried about weight loss.

Can I have the meal at lunch rather than dinner?

Sure you can, swap out the entire slot though. Move the entire lunch regime to dinner and the entire dinner regime to lunch.

I cannot eat the entire 600 calorie meal in one go. Can I split it?

I would avoid doing it but if you are like me and barely eat 600 calories even not on the Clean 9 then yes. Split into no more than two though.  Light snack (200 calories) and have the rest of the 400 calories at dinner) or lunch if you are making the swap).

I am lactose intolerant; can I mix the shake with water?

Milk has calories and nutrients that are vital so I would suggest a lactose free option such as rice milk or soya maybe.  I do have customers who have used water though, but again, not the first option.

Will I be glued to the toilet?

Other than to constantly pass urine constantly, no.  In fact the Gracinia has iron in it and can constipate you if your water intake in not sufficient.  For those prone to constipation make sure to order a pro-biotic as well.  Our bodies were not meant to purge. I attended a meeting at Cancer Society where it was actually mentioned that colon cancer is on the rise because people purge so often in an attempt to lose weight.

The book says 4ozs of aloe and 8ozs of water. Do they mean to mix the two?

NO!!!  Shoot the aloe straight. Block your nose and one big gulp. Then have your water. I find that it is easier to sip the water throughout the day rather than gulp 80zs after gulping the aloe.  Water is the secret ingredient though; the more water, the easier the programme.

Does the products contain animal gelatin?

The Garcinia’s capsule is made with beef gelatin. You can simply open the capsule and swallow the powdered contents.

I am allergic to honey, will I be able to take the bee pollen?

You may or may not. If you are deadly allergic I won’t even test it. You can replace the Bee Pollen with Gin-Chia.  It is a few dollars more, so speak to your distributor.

Can I do the Clean 9 while breast feeding?

You will have to do it without the Garcinia, which is your appetite suppressant. Of course, you still need to pass it by your doctor first, but I know of many that have gotten the all clear and made it through without the Garcinia.

Does the Clean 9 clash with any meds?
Yes, if you are on meds for high blood pressure. Make sure to consult your doctor. You can omit the Garcinia just as nursing women do. Again, make sure to consult your doctor. We are not doctors; we are only trained in our products.

I am very heavy, how can I still exercise as recommended?

There are many exercises that you can do if you are very heavy. You can get yourself a noodle and go for a walk in the pool.  A stroll in the park is still exercise. Do not fall into the trap that because you are not sweating and running like crazy you are doing nothing.  A little movement is better than no movement. Do not be pressured into exercising that you are pressured right out of it.  I personally work out alone for that very reason. I rather do 1 minute of intense work out than do none. If a minute is all I can make then that’s what I’d do.  Eventually I will reach to five minutes and then to ten.  You can do it. We will help!

I cannot afford the entire Clean 9, what are my other options?

Well to be honest, if you still think you can’t afford it then you have not done enough research into the cost of being overweight or overtoxined.  How much weight did you lose last year and how much did you spend throughout the entire year trying? How much do you spend on meds for allergies, meds for sleeping disorders, meds for everything else that comes with being un-healthy?

There are those that genuinely cannot afford a basic meal much less being healthy, for those we suggest getting a group together and your distributor will come by and do a product presentation for you; two or three if needed. The commission from any sales made in those evenings is yours to count towards your Clean 9.

And of course there is also the gift certificate. Get a few friends to give you small certificates and they all add up.

 

What’s the next step? How do I make sure to keep off the weight?

The next step will depend on you. Have a chat with your distributor and they will suggest the best way forward based on your needs and your budget.  I do not move forward with anyone unless they continue to drink the Aloe.  Many people like using the meal replacement shake as maintenance or the Garcinia.  Understanding that toxins are the root cause of fat will help you understand why the Aloe must be your first point of maintenance. You must keep your body clean first and then add any other product to your maintenance regime.  I take pride in my work. I love when my customers can give my name after someone has asked what they have been doing.  If you use my stuff incorrectly and do not get the results then you will give me a bad name ultimately.

Pre-Cleanse advice

1. Cut right back on caffeine and booze - it is the withdrawal from these that can cause headaches in the first few days - if you can stop completely for at least 4 days before that would be better

 2. Start doing the 30 minutes exercise a day (or more) for at least 5-7 days before you start to get into the habit of it.

3. Up your water intake to 2 litres a day, you can do this by replacing hot drinks with hot water and lemon and taking a 1 litre bottle of water to work. ALWAYS start your day by drinking a large glass of water.

 
4. Practice making some 600 calorie or lower meals for days 3-9

5. Get use to the taste of aloe: the kit contains enough aloe for you to drink 2ozs every morning for 3 days before you start.

6. Gradually increase your bee pollen intake to reach the suggested amount. ¼ three times a day… ½ three times a day. ..1 three times a day… Start Clean 9.

5. Girls…Start just after your period.
