  • Is your gut making you sick?
  • Five easy tricks to clear out toxic waste
  • Restore your health from the inside out

With the New Year just starting, there’s no better time to clear some of the toxic waste from your body and jumpstart your health for 2015.

Everyone is affected by toxins. They can come from the environment, foods, water, and even from toxic relationships. All of these need to be addressed at some point.

But today I’m going to focus on one specific area that you have a great deal of control over – clearing toxins from your gastrointestinal system.

When toxins invade your GI system, it quickly throws the beneficial bacteria and microbes in your gut out of balance. This can easily manifest into health concerns that may be affecting your well-being.

MD Exposes the Hidden Danger to Your Eyes

When your eyesight starts to fail, it's a real problem. Suddenly you can't go to the grocery store... you can't get to the doctor if you have an emergency... you can't meet your friends for dinner…

Your "regular" doctor doesn't have time to keep up with the latest research. And the same goes for eye doctors. They go to school to learn how to fit you for glasses and contacts, but have no way of preventing the damage and loss of eyesight that threatens your freedom and independence.

Let me show you something that explains a LOT about how your eyes work.

In my FREE Special Report, I'll show you a HUGE, untapped resource for your eyes that safely and naturally restores clear, effortless eyesight.

In fact, this type of imbalance is often the underlying cause of more health problems than you might imagine. These include diabetes, hypertension, fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic fatigue, irritable bowels, cancer and many other health concerns.

So, one of the best things you can do for your health is wipe out the toxins that might be making you sick.

You don’t have to change your entire lifestyle to do it. You can defeat a toxic gut and restore a healthy balance in just 5 simple steps. I call them my 5 R’s.

Here’s what I recommend…

Remove things that negatively impact the gastrointestinal system. You may not realize it, but more than 70% of immune system receptors are in your gut. Even more surprising is the bacteria in your gut contain millions of unique genes that coexist with our own human genes.

This means that everything you put into your body sets up home and affects your body in one way or another. Some are good, others are bad. This makes it important to get rid of anything that negatively affects the environment of your GI tract.

The World's Quickest Solution for Ending Prostate and Urinary Misery

This has recently been revealed to be one of the only real breakthroughs in prostate health.

The seeds of a strange fruit (sometimes called "Chinese Apples") hold powerful phytonutrients that are a revolution in prostate health.

In fact, UCLA and Veterans Administration research have now proved this to be true.

Not only that, but it may be the worlds quickest solution for ending prostate misery.

Simply stated, these phytonutrients represent a huge step beyond beta sitosterol, saw palmetto, and other phytosterols alone.

Some of the worst offenders include sugars, artificial sweeteners, wheat, MSG and genetically modified foods. All of these should be avoided.

Replace digestive enzymes that will help to improve digestion. You can boost digestive enzymes by eating more raw, organic fruits and vegetables. Sprouts, papaya, pineapple, kiwi and avocado are all rich sources of enzymes.

It’s also important to avoid combining starches and proteins when you eat. This is a very common mistake. When you combine these foods, the digestive acids and enzymes produced by your body cancel each other out and disrupt the harmony in your gut.

Reinoculate your digestive track. Help beneficial bacteria flourish by ingesting probiotic foods like miso, kefir and kimchi. You can also supplement with probiotics that contain good GI bacteria like bifidobacteria and lactobacillus species. Keep in mind that antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria. So, avoid these drugs whenever possible.

Repair the lining of your GI tract by supplying key nutrients that can often be in short supply in a diseased state. Look for a good multivitamin that contains zinc, antioxidants (e.g., vitamins A, C, and E), and the amino acid glutamine. I also suggest supplementing with a high-quality fish oil supplement. The best ones come from fresh, wild-caught, deep sea fish, and are molecularly distilled for purity.

There’s also one last step you can take to restore your health from the inside out…

Rebalance your lifestyle to support a healthy GI tract. Both stress and your personal outlook on life can all throw your entire system out of balance.

This means it’s essential to identify sources of stress, nurture your spirit, and establish a strong mind-body connection. My personal recommendation is to take part in time-honored practices like Qi Gong, Tai Chi or Yoga. These types of exercise involve gentle body movement, mental focus, and deep breathing that help reduce stress, anxiety, depression and moodiness.

It’s also important to connect with your inner purpose. Use any tools that motivate you, whether it’s through community involvement, meditation, prayer, or connecting with nature. All of these activities will feed your spirit and release pent-up stress and anxieties that are part of everyday life.
