Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

General

What are some of the reasons for constipation?

One major reason for constipation is a lack of fiber in your diet. With our Program you will never lack that since fresh fruit and fresh raw vegetable are key ingredients of our meal-plan. The standard American diet of meats and refined, processed foods will not give you enough fiber which, by the way, creates more problems than just giving you constipation. In addition, DC-2 which you start taking from the second month on our Internal Cleansing Program is pure psyllium seed husk which acts like a broom in your intestines. Nothing can sit around in your colon, putrefying and causing your problems when you take DC-2. Anyway, many people already know about the connection between a lack of fiber and constipation. The other major reason for constipation is not nearly as well understood. When undigested or poorly digested food passes from the stomach and small intestine into the colon, it is very sticky, clinging to the walls of your intestines. In addition, the longer this material stays in your intestines the more moisture is absorbed and the hardened material becomes more difficult to expel.

All of this happens when you don’t practice proper food-combining and when your digestive system is not in good working condition. The abuse of laxatives can contribute to that. The only way to effectively clean out the buildup of old waste material in your intestines is through “tune-up” of your body centering on the three digestive cleansers in our program.

I am told that distilled water leaches minerals from the body. Is this really true?

People who say this do not understand that it is impossible for distilled water to leach the good minerals. Only the unusable minerals are leached out – not those that are used up and become part of your tissue. Minerals from tap water are not the kind the body can use. They are rejected by the cells and constitute a hazard in the bloodstream. Distilled water has the ability to collect these unusable minerals and pass them as sediment into the kidneys for excretion. So yes, distilled water does leach out the bad minerals. N.W.Walker, doctor of Science, who lived beyond 100 years said: “It is not intended that we should furnish the body with the minerals it must have for regeneration and replenishment, by means of the natural (tap) waters. The minerals which the cells of the body will use for constructive purposes must come from the raw food we eat.”

All of this happens when you don’t practice proper food-combining and when your digestive system is not in good working condition. The abuse of laxatives can contribute to that. The only way to effectively clean out the buildup of old waste material in your intestines is through “tune-up” of your body centering on the three digestive cleansers in our program.

I was raised with the belief that I need to eat lots of meat for the protein but you don't eat any red meat at all. Where do you get your protein from?
First of all, the protein requirement is not nearly as high as people imagine. The average person needs about 25 to 30 grams of protein a day. You can get plenty of proteins for a healthy body from beans, whole grains, brown rice, and many vegetables and even fruit. If you want to eat some animal protein, try some fish and lean chicken or turkey. And of course, free range animals are the best.

Red meat has very little fiber. It stays in your intestines so long that it actually causes toxemia because of decay that takes place inside of you. Another problem is that animals raised for food are raised very badly with lots of antibiotics. For that reason, too, try to buy some free-range chickens that have been raised in a natural manner.

One other reason to hold down protein intake from animals is because there is some evidence that too much animal protein in our system actually leads to a loss of calcium from the body and you know what leads to – osteoporosis. When you take in too much protein, the undigested protein will turn into uric acid and that will soften your bones.

My doctor suggested a modified radical mastectomy for my breast cancer. Since the lymphatic system is connected to breast cancer, how can your program help cleanse my lymphatics?
The first step in cleansing the lymphatic system is to cleanse the colon so that the excess mucoid material backed up in the lymphatic system can be drained out. At the same time practice proper food combining to prevent mucous material backing up in the lymphatic system.

The second step is to practice skin brushing. When practiced daily for several months skin brushing is very effective for improving body tone.

The lymph system, according to medical texts, is not studied very much. Because of a swollen lymph system (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma), Jackie Kennedy Onassis died long before her time.

Our program concentrates on cleansing the lymph system. You can see this is much different than using toxic chemicals in an effort to overcome toxins in the blood and lymph. When lymph nodes swell, they are actually striving to increase production of white blood cells to bolster our immunological system of defenses.

In case of uncontrolled infection, the lymphatics may act as an avenue of spread, providing direct access to the bloodstream, which can lead to a severe poisoning of the system through the blood stream (Septicemia).

Don’t’ you think it’s much easier to clean out the poisons? If you don’t clean them out, you will have to cut them out (which is no assurance of a complete removal of the toxins).

One of our favorite meals is chicken and rice; surely this is good food combining?

No. Chicken is high protein; rice is high in starch. You must not combine protein with starch. A popular replacement would be brown rice and stir fried vegetables. White rice is too mucous forming. It tends to clog the lymph and blood vessels. Sludge in the bloodstream and lymphatic vessels is the beginning of many problems.

 

What do you recommend as a moisturizer for the winter?
In the winter time, the average person’s skin is pretty rough. Take care of it from both sides, this means from the outside and the inside.

Our olive oil creme will help you from the outside. It penetrates all the layers of the skin and you should use it two or three times a day. However, please be also aware that if the body is full of acidity, it is trying to get rid of it. Uric acid is excreted not only through the kidneys but also through the skin. Therefore, cleaning your body on the inside through the Internal Cleansing Program as well as proper food-combining, will bring fabulous results for your skin.

Oily skin? No more! Dry skin? No more! Blemishes? No more!

By the way, this applies also to the skin on your head. Your scalp is like a garden. You must work the soil. Brush the scalp with a natural bristle brush as much as possible. When you do that, you may lose hair in the beginning, but like baby hair, it begins to come in within a few months. Gradually the hair will become thicker and heavier. Do use olive oil creme on you scalp. Massage it in every morning and see what happens.

Is this related to skin brushing? Yes, brushing the skin should be not be reserved just for your head. As just mentioned, the body tries to eliminate toxins and uric acid not only through the “regular” eliminative channels, but also through the skin. You see, we generate uric acid in our body, much of it because of too much protein consumption, which means organ meats and other animal products.

Dr. Jensen, in his book Tissue Cleansing through bowel management writes: ” I believe the skin brushing is one of the finest of all baths. No soap can wash the skin as clean as the new skin you have under the old. You make new skin every 24 hours on the body. The skin will be as clean as the blood. Skin brushing removes the top layer. This helps eliminate uric acid crystals, catarrh and other acids in the body. No one can be well wearing clothes unless they brush their skin.”

The amount of acid crystals dry skin brushing brings out is amazing. These crystals can and do cause pain and inflammation in many places. Get rid of them. Also, not to be forgotten, skin brushing provides an excellent massage for the lymph system which tries to eliminate wastes as well, but without exercise and /or massage, it will become stagnant and cause many problems with your body.

Are you really serious when you say that I shouldn't have milk for breakfast?
Actually, leave it out from your lunch, dinner and snacks as well. Milk and all dairy products are hard to digest and cause a lot of mucus. Throughout most of the A.M. hours the body is naturally cleansing. Don’t interrupt that cleansing process by straining your digestive system. That’s why on the Program we eat only fresh fruit during that time. One of a kind and as much as we want.

Dr. Benjamin Spock, who long advocated drinking cow’s milk, joined several physicians at a conference four years ago in questioning milk’s nutritional value and warning of the possible harm it can cause some children. At the conference, one of the leading physicians, Frank A. Oski, M.D., said “There’s no reason to drink cow’s milk at any time in your life.”

Henry Bieler, M.D., another prominent physician, warned of the potential dangers of cow’s milk and particularly attacked the notion that you need milk to build strong bones. “Herbivorous animals build strong muscles and bones from grass and leaves alone. The elephant lives on leaves and grows his enormous tusks from the calcium protein of the leaves. The moose and elk grow huge antlers in just a few months each year, shedding them again in winter – the moose on a diet of water plants and green leaves, the elk on leaves, twigs and grass.”

Milk is fine for the growing calf which doubles the weight of its bones every month for the first three month of its life, it is not designed for human consumption and certainly not necessary for adult humans to have good health and strong bones.

I suffer a lot because I can't control gas from my bowels. It's quite a social problem for me.
First of all, concentrate on proper food combining. When you eat in combinations that cannot be properly digested, you end up with the natural consequences of foul-smelling stools and gas. Digestion is not the same as putrefaction! Putrefaction takes place when part of what you eat does not get properly digested and on top of it stays in your eliminative system longer than it is supposed to. On the cleansing program you will never have sticky, undigested food cling to your intestinal walls. The high fiber contents of your daily diet will see to that.

Also, take “friendly” intestinal bacteria – acidophilus and bifidus. Coffee, alcohol, antibiotics and a number of other substances destroy these very essential bacteria in your intestines. When your intestinal flora is unbalanced, you will suffer from gas, bloating and other discomforts. In addition your immune system will be weakened and you will be much more likely to succumb to infectious diseases.

I heard that taking too much fiber is harmful because it takes nutrition out of the body.
Some studies have shown that, however, according to them you would have to take in excess of 40 grams of fiber per day. The amount of fiber that is in 3 heaping teaspoons or 10 capsules of DC-2 is about 10 grams. In addition, as just mentioned, leave about 45 minutes between taking the DC-2 and eating your breakfast to make sure food doesn’t mix with DC-2.

This is really no issue to worry about, because the the health benefits of fiber are so well established that even if on some days you may exceed that 40 gram level you will suffer no harm. Eat according to the meal plan suggestions and also in agreement with proper food combining guidelines, and nutritional deficiency will absolutely not be a problem to you.

Nutritional deficiency is something that average Americans have to worry about because of their heavy reliance on highly processed, nutritionally depleted foods they consume on a daily basis.

I love carrot juice but recently my skin turned yellow. A friend told me to stop drinking carrot juice since I was becoming jaundiced. What should I do?
This is a wonderful example of how well-meaning friends or even health professionals with little understanding of the issues involved can throw people off the cleansing program.

Carrot juice has frequently been called the king of juices because of its nutritional content and even more so because of its many health benefits. The alkaline minerals, especially calcium and magnesium, contained in carrot juice help soothe and tone the intestinal walls. At the same time, these minerals help to strengthen bones and teeth.

Fresh carrot juice stimulates digestion and has a mild diuretic effect. But perhaps its most important contribution to our health is in its tonic and cleansing effect on the liver. Through regular use, carrot juice helps the liver to release stale bile and excess fats.

Don’t worry about your skin turning colors. This is simply a manifestation of the toxins that the liver is excreting. It is not the carrot juice itself nor the carotene that comes through the skin, as this discoloration will take place even if the juice is filtered to the point of clearing it of all color pigment.

As you continue to cleanse your liver, you will eventually see a reduction of this color-change in your skin. If you reduce the amount of carrot juice you drink, you will reduce the cleansing effect and with it the color change in your skin.

To sum it up: As an overall tonic and rejuvenator, carrot juice can’t be beat.

I am suffering from bone spurs. Do you have any suggestions?
Bone spurs, sharp outgrowths of bone tissue on the back of heels and on joints, are the result of an acid/alkaline imbalance in the body. The blood is too acid while the stomach and digestive system produce too little acid and enzymes. The digestive system becomes bogged down from trying to digest a refined diet of excess fats, carbohydrates and proteins. This congests the liver, overworks the kidneys and creates a very toxic system.

Your diet should consist of at least 50 to 70% raw foods. Properly combine your foods and eliminate all processed food and drink from your diet.

Cleanse your blood, bowels, kidneys and liver with ginseng, DC 1, DC2, DC3 and LIV-C. Use digestive enzymes to thoroughly digest and absorb nutrients and supplements. Use only distilled water and raw juices for drinking and cooking.

Over time, you PH will stabilize and the bone spurs will dissolve.

What effect does distilled water have on cancer?
In the book The Choice is Clear written by Alan E. Banik,O.D., Dr.Brown Landone – who lived to the ripe old age of 98 -says: “Hard water seals each cell with a film, so oxygen cannot reach the imprisoned cells. Nature then develops new cells which thrive on less oxygen. These cells are called Cancer cells. Distilled water often frees the imprisoned cells and allows the oxygen to reach the cells.” Doesn’t it seem logical that a lifetime intake of distilled water could have beneficial effects? I think so.

When you think about health maintenance, you think of eating right, and taking supplements. What is the reason for these ingredients and what is the right balance of each?

Like the earth, our bodies are approximately 2/3 (70%) water. Water plays an important role in controlling the temperature, as well as circulation and elimination. In fact, when the body is parched, it is like a drought to the crops. Then what kind of water should we drink?

I had an interesting experience that showed me even more about the value of distilled water. Recently, I started to grow alfalfa sprouts at the Retreat Center and I was not very successful. The seeds would barely germinate and hardly grew even though I faithfully rinsed the jars 3 times daily. I asked a horticulturist for the reason and she suggested I use non-treated water. So I started using distilled water and now all is well with my sprouts.

Why is distilled water used to prepare the ginseng tea?
Distilled water has no chemicals such as fluoride or chlorine and no inorganic minerals which may tend to build up inside the body causing problems. Because of this the ginseng is more easily absorbed into the blood stream providing the fullest benefit to the body.
I have patches of red, itchy skin pop up on different parts of my body at different times. What does this mean?

Remember that your body has four ways to eliminate toxins. Through the:

• Colon (stool)
• Kidneys (urine)
• Lung and
• Skin

The real cause of skin problems has to do with congestion in the normal channels of elimination. The buildup of toxic elements in your body occurs when you do not eat, digest and eliminate properly. When that happens, your body will vicariously eliminate through the lungs, in place of the the kidneys, or through the skin, in place of the colon.

Needless to say, your lungs do not make good kidneys, neither can the skin accomplish the duties of the colon. Do you know that people can die from lung cancer even though they don’t smoke or inhale second hand smoke?

Eat correctly and cleanse yourself, and you have an excellent chance of getting rid of your skin irritations. In plain English this means: take care of your kidneys by drinking the highest quality ginseng tea, take the Digestive Cleansers 1, 2 and 3 to cleanse your colon. Also, revive your skin through dry brushing and exercise your lungs in fresh air.

I have been food combining for one month and I still suffer from gas. How long will this last?
It takes time to gradually remove all of the build-up from your colon and small intestine.

When you have a dental cleaning done the dentist has to really scrape and grind to get all the hardened plaque off your teeth. Of course you can’t use that method on your intestine. That’s why I separate my Digestive Cleansers into three formulas to gradually remove what’s sticking to your intestinal walls.

One month is almost never enough time to do the job. Please be patient and you will see more and more improvement including fewer problems with bloating and gas.

I am worried about not getting enough protein and B-vitamins if I eliminate red meat as you suggest.
Don’t worry. Protein intake is not nearly as serious as many people think it is. The body can do very nicely on the protein you get from vegetable sources, especially soy bean items. And you don’t have to consume mountains of it to get enough protein. Look at the books in our library, they will tell you how much you need. Plus, I am not a strict vegetarian. I eat good seafood and some free range turkey or chicken.

B-vitamins are very important, but here too you are perfectly well taken care of in my program. First of all, look at the ingredients in my supplements, such as CHOICE ONE or the MULTI MINERALS. You’ll notice quickly that you are safe here. In addition, I always urge my customers to eat whole wheat items and brown rice. Look at what’s in those two food items and you’ll be surprised.

People all the time eat white rice, white bread, white pasta, bleached this or fortified that, which many times means that a little bit has been put back after all the vital ingredients have been destroyed in the processing of the food. That’s why eating more natural, raw, unprocessed foods is one of the major steps you should take towards optimal health.

And, in the final analysis, if you still want to take a carefully selected vitamin B supplement, that’s fine too.

What is your understanding of Candida?
Candida is a yeast infection and one of the main causes is the overuse of antibiotics. You may think that you don’t get them because you haven’t been to the doctor. In reality, when you eat beef, chicken as well as dairy products, you ingest antibiotics because they are in those foods. Other causes are a high sugar diet, steroid hormones, birth control pills, various drugs, and malnutrition which weakens the immune system.

To eliminate the yeast infection, you should eliminate all processed foods and drinks. The bowels must be cleansed as well as the blood. The liver especially must be cleansed since it is responsible for filtering the blood. Fresh carrot juice and distilled water with ginseng will assist in cleansing the blood, while DC-1, DC-2, DC-3 and LIV-C will clean the bowels and liver. The diet must consist of whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits with one serving of animal protein once a day, or a vegetarian source if preferred. Food supplements will assist the body in healing itself and strengthening the immune system while digestive enzymes, maxidophilus and maxibifidus will inhibit yeast overgrowth and assist in digestion of foods.

You can tell, it’s not easy to deal with Candida, but it can be done if you follow my Cleansing Program.

I like what you say about your cleansing program but I have very regular bowel movements. I am quite sure there is nothing wrong with my colon. What's in it for me?
Good for you that you are so regular but you may underestimate the effects of your diet on your intestines.

Some times ago a 56-year-old lady agreed to begin the cleansing program as a test, even though she was also quite regular. After a while she wrote to me: “I’m totally amazed at what came out of me. I never would have dreamt any of that stuff could have been in my colon. All that hardened mucus – it’s hard to believe!”

Give the Internal Cleansing Program a try and you may answer your own question.

Can I eat pasta and cheese?
Let me make it simple. Do you think you can watch TV and concentrate on reading a book at the same time? This situation is similar to how the body digests food. Eating foods that fight against each other reduces your system’s ability to gain needed nutrients and therefore, needed energy for daily living. So my answer is No. Pasta is a concentrated starch, cheese is a concentrated protein. Like cheese and crackers, chicken and rice and meatballs and pasta – these combinations do not go together. Could this be why so many are so tired too much of the time?
I have had problems with heartburn for about the last year. I tried a variety of antacids with good results. But they seem to be working less and less. What would you suggest?
First of all, heartburn has nothing to do with heart problems. The pain is caused by stomach acid backing up into the esophagus and causing the lining of it to be burned, with the pain showing up in the area where the heart is. Antacids work by reducing acid in the stomach so that whatever backs up will not hurt so much. Obviously, you are not solving your problem but only hiding symptoms. Acid isn’t your enemy. It is needed for proper digestion of food and it even can kill harmful bacteria. Also, antacids have a lot of aluminum poisoning because of antacid abuse.

There are some practical tips that are fairly well known:

Don’t overeat and don’t lie down with a full stomach. Don’t drink alcohol, don’t drink liquids with your meals, even distilled water. Drink it in between meals instead. Drink some carrot juice with your food. Avoid spicy foods and fruit juices.

Best of all though is to take part in my cleansing program and to eat according to my food combining principles. I know that I seem to be suggesting that for almost anything that ails people, but I can say that simply because I know that it will be best for you. The stack of testimonies from my customers tells me so.

I am pretty skeptical that one single program can be good for so many different problems. Could you please explain that point?
Because of the way they distribute nutrients and pick up waste products, among other things, they affect the whole body in a profound way. If you have impurities in these systems, or they don’t function well, you will know it.

But both of these systems depend to a large degree on the proper functioning of the whole digestive and eliminative system for their own proper functioning. If you don’t digest well, your blood stream and your lymph system will not get the proper nutrients, plus, they will be burdened with harmful substances. That in turn will overburden your liver, your kidneys and your heart.

When you look at how my program works, you can see how I very methodically include, in successive stages, a variety of cleansing products that care for the colon and circulatory system, then the liver and small intestines and thereby, indirectly, the lymph system as well. When these major systems are cleansed, your whole body will begin to function in the way it is designed to.

Add to that exercise and other nutritional and healing supplements such as aloe vera, chlorella or blue green algae, kelp, vitamins and minerals and you can begin to see why I have a stack of testimonies from people who were able to overcome ailments that at first glance seem to have nothing in common.

As I’ve said a hundred times before, I don’t heal people, the body does that by itself, if only it is given the freedom to do. Cleanliness not only is close to godliness, it literally means freedom for the rivers of life inside of you to flow freely again.

On your program I am supposed to take vitamins and minerals with the food. Why should I take ginseng differently?
Good point. Ginseng tea, especially in its extract form, does not have to be digested. This probably sounds strange to you, but digestion means separation of the nutritional elements from the unusable particles that food carries. Ginseng, in its extract form, is already separated. The stomach does not have to hold it to separate anything from it. This way you can use the highest degree of Ginseng in the most efficient way. The same is true for chlorella and Blue Green Algae which you are taking in the mid-afternoon with your ginseng tea.
I am already 23 years old, but I still have so much problem with acne. My friends have tried to help me by telling me about different creams and medication, but nothing helps me. What can I do?
The skin is the major eliminative organ in the body. Whenever your insides are in disarray, your outside, your skin, will show the effects of it. That of course means that the topical application of creams will at best mask your problems, just as you obviously discovered yourself.

According to Dr.Henry Bieler, who took care of movie stars in the past, acne is caused by congestion. He wrote a book called, Food is Your Best Medicine. He says that acne is incompletely oxidized fats in the diet that clog the oil and sebaceous glands and thus causes acne. He cautions that it would be prudent to eliminate fats from the diet, especially from diary products.

Another physician, Dr. Barnes Broda says that over 90% of acne patients experience great improvements when the digestive system is improved and when the liver can properly provide the bile to break down the fats in the small intestine. Too often the liver is toxic and congested which is one of the causes of bloating.

Yet another physician, Dr. Royal Lee, writes “practically every case of acne will benefit from a detoxification schedule.”

In short, study my Internal Cleansing Program and then get started on it. Many before you have seen major improvements.

Is speedy elimination of toxins harmful?
No, since living cells are not lost in the process of elimination. The longer you let poisons remain in your body, the greater the chance of the onset of degenerative diseases. The only exception I make is for pregnant and lactating women. The baby depends on the mother’s blood stream for all of its nutrition and it is best if the expectant mother can cleanse before conception.

Let me stress again. Don’t look at my program as a buffet. Don’t take a little here and a little bit from over there. Complete success comes from the whole program. After level 1 move on to level 2. This means, add DC-2 and LIV-C and Olive Oil Cream. DC-2 acts like a sponge in your intestinal tract. Its purpose, besides providing bulk is to clean out the many accordion folds in your intestine. Your villi are like feeder mouths absorbing nutrients from the food passing along. If those feeder mouths are covered and clogged up by deposits of mucus and undigested sticky matter, you will not be able to use even high quality nutrition.

LIV-C helps the liver function at peak condition. The liver has so many amazing functions apart from detoxifying substances passing through our system. LIV-C will prevent a fatty liver. If that’s already the condition, LIV-C will act as a detergent and flush out toxins. Remember, cancer is always related to a congested liver, according to Max Gerson, M.D.

HSU Olive Oil Cream is a very important part of cleansing. It is rubbed on the entire abdominal area several times daily. It will be absorbed and act as a lubricant for the toxins being flushed out by DC-1 and DC-2. By the time you reach level 3, most people already experience so many benefits that they are ready to tell all their family and friends about it.

Don’t forget, however, Level 3 is not the end of the program. It is the maintenance level. You can’t expect to accomplish a thorough cleansing in a few weeks only. Also, you need to maintain your health.

Why can't protein and starches be combined such as in a turkey sandwich?
Although various combinations of foods can be eaten together, the energy required for digestion puts a tremendous strain on our digestive system. The reason for this is because starches and proteins require different enzymes. For example, starches need the enzyme amylase for digestion which works in an alkaline medium, whereas protein requires hydrochloric acid and pepsin for digestion and as the name suggests, works in an acid medium. When starches and proteins are eaten together, these enzymes are mixed together and depending upon which one is needed the most, the other one suffers. For example, a predominantly protein meal would require larger amounts of hydrochloric acid which would interfere with what little starch digesting amylase was secreted, causing the starches to be partially digested, allowing fermentation and incomplete digestion. The result would be gas and bloating and a reduction of nutrient absorption. This, in turn, could lead to bowel problems like constipation and food allergies due to undigested food particles being absorbed into the blood stream. Miscombined eating produces fatigue during the digestion. By properly combining our foods, we reduce the stress to our digestive organs and increase nutrient absorption. The result is improved health and energy.
Could distilled water even have an effect on cancer?
You know that I don’t advocate any single substance as being a cure for cancer. There is however an interesting quote in “The Choice is Clear” by Dr.Allenn Banik, that says: “Hard water seals each cell with a film, so oxygen cannot reach the imprisoned cells. Nature then develops new cells which thrive on less oxygen. These cells are called cancer cells. Distilled water often frees the imprisoned cells and allows the oxygen to reach the cells.”

We may not always know in detail what effect cleansing has on all of the various organs, but one thing I am totally convinced of – cleansing the digestive and eliminative system together with the circulatory and lymph systems is the best way to take care of your health.

Is it all right to prepare food in a microwave?
When preparing our foods, we must do it in a way that does the least amount of damage, so as to preserve the quality. It is interesting to note that experiments have demonstrated that microwave cooking alters the food enough to produce, after eating, changes in the body’s immune system, as well as functional and structural changes. It was also discovered that microwave cooking converts the amino-acid L-proline into D-proline, which is a proven toxin to the liver, kidney and nervous system. Since these changes are detrimental to our health, it is best to use microwave cooking as little as possible or not at all. Until further research assures us that beneficial, nutritional delivery is taking place, it is best to avoid microwave ovens.
When our digestive tract dysfunctions, are there other indications besides constipation?
Yes, We give many names to these indications. Heartburn. Flatulence. Ulcers. Colitis. Polyps. Diverticulitis. Fissures. Hemorrhoids. Indigestion.

Let me ask you something. If your food completely digested, would you have constipation? No. The reason we have constipation is because the digestive tract has been dysfunctioning. What we eat is giving us many indications, like heartburn and flatulence. You see, when you cannot digest, waste foods stay very, very gummy. They stick to the intestinal wall and do not move. DC1 and DC2 and aloe…taken in accordance to my program schedule, will make you brand new again.

Why can't I take any Ginseng. Isn't Ginseng all the same?
A bicycle is a vehicle. A Cadillac is a vehicle. Many do not have specific knowledge of ginseng. So, the cheaper the better. People say they can buy the same amount of different brand of ginseng at one-third the price. Here is my warning. Ginseng is a blood purifier. People take ginseng and still have to come to health professional. Why? that ginseng didn’t do anything. It’s not going to heal people. You have to insure getting the toxins out of the blood through the urine. Ginseng is not just ginseng.
My Children have ongoing respiratory problems. Is your program at all advisable for them?
I have dealt with several people whose asthma, for example, was totally overcome within a few months after starting on the program.

With children, I have found that respiratory problems many times are related to dairy products. This is another area in which most people have been thoroughly indoctrinated by commercial interests.

Dairy products are hard to digest for many people and they are mucus forming. Take children off dairy products and give them brown rice based or soy based drinks in addition to helping them eat fresh fruit and green, leafy vegetables.

Not only will they get plenty of calcium, but in addition you will see most respiratory problems and also problems with recurring ear infections go away.

This means you really don’t need to deal with the whole cleansing program, just with the nutritional and supplementary components of it to help your children.

Would your program get rid of parasites?
Parasites grow like fungus where there is food stagnating for them to eat. They nest in the warmth of your 98 degree body temperature and have babies every three weeks. If your intestinal function is active enough, digesting in and out three times a day, parasites should not have any nesting ground.

But, it would take long time for us to achieve that. Remember 27 feet of intestines? Some have parasites going up into their digestive system. We’re not talking about just tapeworms, we’re talking about all kinds of warms.

Often people who start this diet program also use Dia-Min to break up the parasites from making eggs and hatching eggs – usually three weeks, but I like people to use at least a month. Because they hatch.

Recently I heard about a coral calcium supplement that also advertises its alkalizing effect on the body. I know you've talked about this a lot. What's your opinion on this supplement?
In my many years of retail experience I learned to always keep an open mind towards new products and ideas. Even now that I live at the Retreat Center I am still constantly bombarded by information about the newest and the best the market has to offer.

I was intrigued by this product and I got some of it and performed an alkalizing test on it by dissolving it in water and using pH tape to measure its effect. I found that my new multimineral formula performs better in alkalizing the water which should mean that it does its job in the body just as well.

I wholeheartedly agree that an acidic body condition is the source of many health problems. The body uses calcium as a buffer to fight an acidic condition and when not enough calcium present in one’s diet, it takes it from the bones. Just about everyone should make sure to eat foods high in absorbable calcium (excluding dairy products) or use a calcium or multimineral supplement that contains enough absorbable calcium.

Let me also mention another important reason for taking a multimineral supplement with good calcium: as you know I am very big on colon health and cleansing with my digestive cleansers. There is a direct relationship between colon cancer incidence and low calcium, low fiber intake. Calcium and fiber help to bind up toxins before they can damage colon wall cells.

One such particular study happened in 1999, which is many years after I developed my Internal Cleansing Program. Scientific proof is usually years behind the direct evidence I and many of my customers have that my program is truly working to improve their health.

Is it ok to use dairy products?
For many years people have been taught to drink several glasses of milk a day and eat cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt, because these foods have lots of bone building calcium and protein for strong muscles. As a result the Dairy industry is a Multi-billion dollar industry. But just because a lot of people use dairy, it does not mean that it is good for you. Let’s examine the facts. Although Americans use a tremendous amount of dairy products, they still suffer from bone loss or osteoporosis. So obviously the dairy is not helping. What many forget is that cow’s milk is ready to feed the baby cows, or calves, which grow to be 1,200 pounds or more. Because such growth the milk is loaded with high amounts of calcium, phosphorus, protein, one of which is casein and fats. On the other hand, a human baby grows to be only 100 to 200 pounds – small in comparison to a cow. Human mother’s milk contains small amounts of calcium, proteins and fats and is high in carbohydrates. When cow’s milk, an unbalanced food for humans, is consumed, it upsets the natural balance of the body causing health problems. Some of those problems are:

Thirteen Reasons to Stop Using Dairy Products

1) Pesticide Residues Dairy products have six times higher pesticide residues than the average non-animal food products. (See graph on page 317 of Diet for New America, by John Robbins)

2) Antibiotics are routinely added to the feed of cows. This comes through in the milk and meat. This can upset the natural balance of intestinal flora in the body and may be related to candida albicans problems so widespread today.

3) DES and other female hormones are routinely administered to cows. Residues are transmitted to people. Possible consequences of this are cancer, premature sexual maturation of girls and boys, behavior disorders connected to uncertain and confused sexual identities, an expanding assortment of sexual aberrations indicating that human hormonal systems are being affected and imbalanced.

4) Congestion Dairy products are mucous producing and involved in many instances of allergies, sinus congestion, postnasal drip, bronchial and lung congestion.

5) Prostate Cancer Milk and cheese are specifically identified (along with eggs) as risk factors for fatal prostate cancer (American Journal of Epidemiology, August 1984). Prostate problems are very widespread in men over 40 years of age, increasing in probability with age.

6) Uterine Fibroids The consumption of dairy products is strongly linked to various disorders of the female reproductive system, including ovarian tumors/cysts, vaginal infections/discharges, and uterine fibroids. (See “Food as Healing”, by Annmarie Colbin)

7) Multiple Sclerosis Dairy products are implicated as a causative factor in Multiple Sclerosis. (See pages 279-282 of “Diet for New America”, by John Robbins)

8) Osteoporosis The high concentration of protein causes urinary excretion of calcium. This calcium loss actually promotes osteoporosis, a disease of thinning bones very commonly found in older people. (See McDougall’s Medicine, by John McDougall)

9) Lactose intolerance is a condition of lacking the digestive enzyme “lactase” which digests the carbohydrate portion of dairy products known as lactose or milk sugar. This commonly causes headaches, gas, abdominal pain and cramps. This affects 5 -10% of Caucasian adults, 70% of Black adults, both in America and Africa, and many Asian adults. (See “Incidence of Lactase Deficiency in Ulcerative Colitis”, Gastroenterology, 53:890, 1967)

10) Saturated Fat The fat content of dairy products is saturated fat. This contributes to heart disease, which kills 40% of Americans, and strokes, which kill 10% of Americans. Saturated animal fat consumption is also strongly linked to many forms of cancer.

11) No Fiber Dairy products also contain NO FIBER, potentially contributing to constipation, hemorrhoids and colon cancer.

12) Colic in babies can be caused by antibodies in cows milk. This can happen even if the baby is breast-fed and the mother consumes dairy products. (Pediatrics. April 1991)

13) Cruelty Purchase of dairy products supports the cruel veal industry. Cows must be regularly artificially inseminated to continue milk production. The female offspring become more milk producers. The male calves will not produce milk, so they are raised in tiny crates to become anemic “tender veal.”

As the list demonstrates, it is far wiser to eliminate milk and milk based foods. As a substitute, many people have switched to nondairy drinks such as soy milk and rice milk.

Why does your breakfast menu call for only one kind of fruit each day?
We eat according to the rule of Proper Food Combining. It’s not my rule, or anybody’s rule…Our body FUNCTIONS this way. We have ignored the body function and limitations and end up with indigestion.

Even the deer in the park eat one food at a time. They eat one grass at a time even though grasses in spring are growing everywhere. Either they eat wild roses that day or they eat Jerusalem artichoke that day or they eat clover that day. They don’t mix clover and they don’t mix green grass. One thing at a time. So try it. We eat one fruit at a time because they DIGEST differently.

After a week on your program I have diarrhea. Why?
The mucous is coming out – the top layer of putrefied matter has been loosened by the Digestive Cleanser #1 (DC1). Your clogged kitchen drain needs draino. DC1 acts like drano. DC2 formula works to cleanse only the lower bowel, loosening the hardened material ‘plated’ on the inside colon wall. The peristaltic movement of the colon is ‘freed’; this wave-like motion becomes more frequent, thus moving the softened matter along more quickly.
My Diarrhea burns. What's happening?
If diarrhea is irritating and/or burning coming out – those toxins are also irritating, burning and eating the flesh inside of your colon. Get it out as fast as possible. Diarrhea is the body’s way of getting rid of toxins fast. This is the time to increase aloe vera and continue DC1. If a stricture exists, you will experience the alternate action of diarrhea and constipation. Time to speed up cleansing by increasing DC1
Is it harmful to increase DC1?
No, increasing DC1 helps increase healing, especially when you combine DC1 with aloe vera. There are healing herbs in DC1 also. DC1 is not habit forming.
My physician put me on a new drug because he says I have parasites. What can you suggest I do?
First of all, I won’t be interfere with your physicians recommendation but I would like you to understand how I deal with it. How do fungi, parasites, worms and viruses congregate in the human body?

We live in a hostile environment, surrounded daily by fungi, parasites, worms and viruses. We can become infected with worms and viruses from contact with people and by the air we breathe.

A fungus can also be gotten by contact. Parasites can be picked up from our foods, walking barefoot on contaminated soil, from animal contact and drinking water.

The important point to understand is this – As long as our bodies are clean internally, and we are eating a diet of fresh, raw natural foods and clean water, these hostile invaders can not harm us. The problem arises when we try to live off of processed foods and fluids such as coffee and soft drinks. As the body collects wastes in the bowel and contaminates the blood, a person develops the perfect breeding ground for these unwanted invaders. The poor nutrition and accumulated waste weaken our immune system hereby allowing these invaders to flourish.

By cleansing our bowels, liver and blood, and through eating healthy, fresh foods and drinking ginseng tea daily, we can develop a very strong immune system to combat these invaders. We need to keep our eliminative processes functioning at peak efficiency, which will allow our bodies to easily throw off any unwanted hostile invaders.

Before you even begin with the Cleansing Program, take the parasite package (DIA-MIN & DC-1) for one month

It was suggested to me to start estrogen therapy to avoid bone loss. Do you approve of it?
When you take estrogen, or any other prescription drug, make sure you know what you are taking. Know the purpose of the drag and all of its side effects. Your library should have a copy of “Physicians Desk Reference.” Please read and study it and after you understand what you are undertaking you make an informed decision. There is hardly a problem with bone loss in the Orient. One reason is their relatively low meat intake. I showed you earlier how a diet high in animal protein leads to calcium loss. Another reason is the high intake of aquatic foods.

The number one health food supplement taken by the Japanese is Chlorella. It is a single cell algae that comes as close to being a perfect food as you can get. Aquatic foods, like Chlorella, are in control and hopefully you will stimulate your own estrogen function without any side effects. I would recommend it to everyone before they look at more expensive and invasive measures to avoid the problems of menopause

How can I lose the weight that I gain over the holidays?
There are basically two approaches to weight loss. One is a “diet” program, which usually consists of some type of supplement that increases your metabolism and which you take for a specified period of time.

The other is a change in life-style which not only affects your weight, but more importantly improves your overall health.

If you are familiar with my program of internal cleansing, you know that I am a proponent of the life-style change approach to weight loss. I hear so many customers’ stories of trying this pill and that pill, losing some weight, yet in the end gaining more than they started out with. This experience is commonly know as yo-yo dieting. This form of dieting can actually be detrimental to your health.

Depending on your level of discipline, those Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year spreads can be a challenge to anyone who is weight conscious, whether you are on my program of internal cleansing, or not. My advise is this: if you are trying to be faithful to food combining principles and the cleansing regimen, do the best you can.

If you waiver a little bit, don’t worry, just take an extra enzyme or two and pick up where you left off. For those of you who are not familiar with my program, aft the holidays is an excellent time to begin. The HSU Internal Cleansing Program is a most comprehensive approach to detoxifying and tuning up the body. It is no only a “diet” program per se, but also a way of life that incorporates food combining and supplementation in a way that helps to take weight off (if it is needed) and keep it off.

Based on the many testimonies I have received, I believe this is the best way to deal with those unwanted “holiday” pounds.

Why shouldn't we mix starches, such as potatoes, rice and breads, with our protein meal?
As was covered in the carbohydrate meal eaten at lunch, starches and proteins like fish, chicken and turkey, require different enzymes for digestion. By mixing our foods, we mix our enzymes, creating an inefficient digestive process requiring a great deal more energy and resulting in reduced absorption of nutrients. When we are in the process of rebuilding our health, we need to reduce stress to the body and increase absorption of nutrients for faster recovery.
I am really embarrassed by my bad breath. I brush and gargle every day and still it is there. What do you suggest?
Halitosis is simply bad breath which can be caused by such things as poor dental hygiene, smoking, gum and tooth decay, and spicy food such as garlic and onions.

Primary cause however is internal putrefaction or fermentation and rotting of foods in the colon and small intestine which comes from improper diet, poor assimilation and elimination.

If what you have tried so far does not help, then you should seriously consider intestinal cleansing. In the past, physicians used to claim that what happens in your colon couldn’t possibly affect your breath of people in order to understand digestive processes.

By the use of internal cleansing in combination with a whole food diet, distilled water, and ginseng tea your breath will noticeably improve because the foul smelling putrefaction from the intestines will be eliminated. Also, the use of chlorophyll from chlorella or blue green algae and friendly bacteria from bifidus and acidophilus will rid the bowel of bad bacteria which can cause fermentation of foods eaten.

There are also those which say that bad breath comes from your tongue. This may be true, however, don’t you remember when physicians would routinely look at the tongue of their patients to get some idea of what was happening? They did it because the condition of your tongue is a reflection of your overall and in particular bowel health.

Do you have any suggestions for dealing with facial wrinkles?
If you take a look at the cosmetics department, you’ll see a number of excellent items there that will help. In addiition though, please understand that the condition of your skin is determined by your overall health. The skin is primarily fed from within, not from the outside. The better your overall health, the better the condition of your skin.

I know you may begin to think that I mention my Internal Cleansing Program for any condition known to humanity, but I do that because it is simply the most effective way to treat 1001 health problems.

In addition, I want to mention smoking. Cigarettes not only contain nicotine but also over 45 other chemicals, one of which is acetaldehyde, which is released during smoking. This chemical destroys the collagen, or cross-linking bonds which hold our tissues together, creating many small wrinkles. So, at the very lest, don’t smoke.

Do you ever eat meat?
Yes, I do, but I never have more than one meat dish per day. Also, I don’t eat red meat. I eat certain seafood items and free-range turkey or chicken. In addition, I am always mindful of proper food combining, that means, I don’t eat high starches with meat.
Why the need for vitamin and mineral supplements? Don't they merely give me expensive urine?
Hardly. The nutrient content of food depends on growing conditions, storage and handling, and the preparation of the food. Cooking foods also destroys many nutrients. Even the raw foods that I always urge you to eat, actually are not as fresh as we’d like them to be.

In addition, some fruit are picked prematurely, which means that they have not attained the vitamin and mineral content desired.

Why is refined sugar bad?
We say, “Well, because it is empty calories. No. Not so. When children eat a lot of refined candy their teeth begin to decay. Why? Only a portion of the whole sugar cane was used. When sugar is refined a portion is taken out of the whole. When this goes into your body by itself, body doesn’t know what to do with it. Body can’t metabolize it. So body must leach from your reserves – from you own bone or teeth to make it look like a whole. It’s not just empty calories.

White rice. People say, Asian people are very healthy, they know how to keep themselves healthy. So I stopped eating wheat and went into chinese food. White rice is just as white flour is. Because the outer surrounding of the rice is taken off and given to the pig, we eat the starch part and our body has to supply that which is lost.

Is Nutrasweet bad for you?

In the same manner that it’s a portion out of a whole. Body has to supply something to make it compatible for metabolizing. I never use Nutrasweet.

I am always worried about getting sick in the winter. What supplement do you recommend for the immune system?
I certainly would urge you to drink Ginseng tea regularly. It has shown to be exceptionally helpful in this regard. In addition, taking healthy bacteria such as acidophilus and bifidus for a healthy internal flora, is also of great importance in that regard. But I never want to stress one particular item too much for the following reason.

Our Maker intends for our body to be clean and in balance. If we keep our house clean, flies will land elsewhere. By the same token, when people around me have colds, the flue and I dare say, AIDS, I wan to reply that without blockages and imbalances in the body, we wouldn’t have to worry about that.

We are a very intricate machine and if we can learn how to keep it running properly tuned, we won’t have to worry about “Oh, let’s use this extra for the immune system, or that special thing for overgrowth of this.” My responsibility is to teach how to clean the body and how to feed it nutritionally. When you do that, everything else will fall into place automatically. That’s what the testimonies I am getting are all about.

People ask me: “How can you possible take care of so many different health conditions with those few items on your Internal Cleansing Program?” I always tell them that I don’t heal, I show how to cleanse and feed the body, and the body, as our Maker planned it, will do the rest.

I am severely anemic. What would you suggest?
My answer will be very similar as to the last question. when the body is out of tune, all the natural mechanisms are not functioning properly. Don’t just try to balance your body chemistry artificially.

Cleanse and eat correctly and your body will take care of its own problems. More specifically, use Sun Chlorella and drink ginseng tea and your blood will be in excellent shape.

Internal Cleansing Program

Why should we not use milk and dairy foods made from milk like cheese, yogurt and ice cream?

1) Pesticide Residues Dairy products have six times higher pesticide residues than the average non-animal food products. (See graph on page 317 of Diet for New America, by John Robbins)

2) Antibiotics are routinely added to the feed of cows. This comes through in the milk and meat. This can upset the natural balance of intestinal flora in the body and may be related to candida albicans problems so widespread today.

3) DES and other female hormones are routinely administered to cows. Residues are transmitted to people.

Stop consuming dairy products for two months as a test. See what a difference it can make in your own life!

How long will it take to thoroughly cleanse and restore the 22 feet of small intestine as well as the five feet of colon?
The time period will vary from person to person due to the various factors involved such as metabolism, the quantities and types of foods consumed, the condition of the small intestine and colon, whether one exercises or not, and the overall health of the person. The average person will need at least six months to a year, or more in some cases, to thoroughly cleanse and restore the 22 feet of the small intestine and the five feet of the colon to the point that three healthy bowel movements will occur each day without the use of DC-1, DC-2 and DC-3. When this occurs, all putrefactive material should have been eliminated.
What are the herbs used in DC-1 and why?
Cascara Sagrada (220 mg) – Is one of the safest laxatives ever discovered and is not habit forming. This herb is not only excellent for cleansing the colon of encrusted waste materials, but also tones the peristaltic muscle of the colon, helping to overcome constipation. It also increases the secretions of the liver, pancreas and stomach.

Butternut Bark (100 mg) – A very mild and gentle laxative that is not habit forming. Acts as a tonic to the colon and the liver.

Ginger (50 mg) – Alleviates gas and aids in relieving cramps and pains.

Cramp Bark (30 mg) – Aids in the relief of cramps.

Bayberry (30 mg) – Aids digestion and is effective in overcoming excess mucus accumulation in the bowel. Also aids in the healing and repair of gastritis, enteritis, dysentery and diarrhea.

Oregon Grape Root (30 mg) – Stimulates liver and gallbladder, helping to overcome constipation.

Fennel (30 mg) – Alleviates gas and cramps.

Slippery Elm (30 mg) – Contains a high amount of mucilage which is very soothing and healing to the walls of the intestines.

Fenugreek (30 mg) – Contains a high amount of mucilage which is very soothing and healing to the walls of intestines. Excellent for relieving the pain and irritation of ulcers.

Okra (30 mg) – Contains a high amount of mucilage which is very soothing and healing to the walls of the intestines.

How does psyllium seed husk in DC-2 help to remove waste from the bowel?
Psylium seed husk, a water soluble fiber, expands in the bowel as it absorbs fluid. It acts as a scrub brush as it passes through the bowel, taking with it waste material, providing it is not mixed with other food.

What is the purpose of DC-2 on the program?

After using DC-1 for one month on level one, a lot of build up waste material has been removed exposing much older and stickier waste material. DC-2, a water soluble fiber, assists in its removal by sponging out the loosened matter.

How is the cleansing of the small intestine by DC-3 accomplished
Pepsin, a digestive enzyme, breaks down the built up proteins and sticky waste material covering the wall of the small intestine, allowing DC-2 to carry it away as it passes through the bowel. In addition to pepsin, DC-3 also contains peppermint, fenugreek and ginger, which assist in cleansing as well as being very soothing and healthful for the small intestine.
What is the purpose of Kelp?
In order for the thyroid gland to function properly, it must have a ready supply of natural food based iodine. One of the best sources for this is Kelp which also contains minerals. Kelp grows in the ocean where the water contains minerals in the same proportions as the human body. Since this iodine is food based, it will not accumulate in the body causing a toxic condition as would an iodine prepared from a chemical based drug or medicine.
What is the purpose of using aloe vera on the cleansing program?
As individuals use the various cleansers such as DC-1, DC-2 and DC-3, encrusted deposits of food which have lined the small and large intestines over a period of years, are gradually removed, exposing the tissue underneath, perhaps for the first time in years. This tissue is very tender, just as when one removes a scab. Aloe vera is known for its therapeutic benefits in healing irritated and damaged tissue. It is also beneficial in helping to mend digestive tract ailments such as ulcers and hemorrhoids in the large intestine.
What are some advantages to using concentrated, whole leaf, cold pressed aloe vera juice?
More economical: one tablespoon of 5-1 is equivalent to five tablespoons (or 2ozs) of regular aloe vera juice; one tablespoon of 10-1 is equivalent to 10 tablespoons (or 4ozs) of regular aloe vera juice.

More bioactive: cold pressing preserves the vitamins, minerals and other constituents like polysaccharides, allowing more healing and health benefits.

The stronger the concentration, the faster and more efficient the healing

What is Maxidophilus and its purpose on the program?
It is a friendly bacteria called acidophilus in powder form that must be refrigerated (70 degrees F or colder) to preserve its potency. It is implanted and works in the small intestine. Its function is to control the buildup of unfriendly bacteria that grow in the small intestine. These unfriendly bacteria, if left unchecked, could create such problem as gas, constipation, a weakened immune system and prevent proper digestion and absorption of food.
What is Maxibifidus and its purpose on the program?
It is a friendly bacteria called bifidus in powder form that must be refrigerated (70 degrees F or colder) to preserve its potency. It is implanted and works in the colon. Its function is to control the buildup of unfriendly bacteria that grow in the colon. These unfriendly bacteria, if left unchecked, could cause such problems as gas, constipation and a weakened immune system.
Why does the liver need to be cleansed?
The liver performs many functions, some of which are:

Acts as a storage and distribution center of all nutrients.

Helps in controlling blood sugar along with the pancreas.

Secretes and contain hormones.

Stores nutrients which include fats, carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins.

Secretes bile for fat digestion.

Acts as a filter or screen to neutralize toxins.

Because the liver is involved in so many functions, it is very important that the liver be cleansed in order to restore and maintain good health.

What is the purpose of olive oil cream on the program?
Topical application of the olive oil creme on the abdomen, permits the cream to penetrate the skin, the muscle tissue and then the bowel wall itself. This action permits a lubricating action to take place between the bowel wall and encrusted waste material, allowing more efficient removal of these waste products. DC1 cleanses the bowel from the inside – out. Olive oil cream helps the process from the outside – in.
Why is distilled water used to prepare the ginseng tea?
Distilled water has no chemicals such as fluoride or chlorine and no inorganic minerals which may tend to build up inside the body causing problems. Because of this the ginseng is more easily absorbed into the blood stream providing the fullest benefit to the body.
What are the benefits of using IL HWA Korean Ginseng?

One of the main benefits is its blood purifying properties. With regular use it rids the body of excess uric acid through urination. As the uric acid level drops, the proper pH level is restored allowing the body to heal itself and utilize oxygen more efficiently.

Other benefits include:

• Lowers bad cholesterol (LDL), raises the good type (HDL).
• Increases production of red blood cells.
• Lowers high blood pressure.
• Lowers high blood sugar.
• Increases physical stamina.
• Strengthens immune system.
• Improves digestion and absorption of nutrients.
• Increases red blood cell production.
• Prevents cell damage from oxidation.
• Improves nerve growth, nerve transmission and mental function.
• Normalizes stress conditions caused by heat, cold and abnormal physical exertion.

Why is IL HWA Ginseng expensive?
Ginseng in its raw state is one of the most expensive herbs because unlike most of the herbs which can be harvested yearly, mature, high quality ginseng roots can only be harvested every 6 years. When the ginseng root is then processed into a liquid extract, the result is that the liquid concentrate is expensive as well. If the liquid concentrate is not expensive then less than 6 year old roots are probably used. Sometimes other, less expensive herbs are added to try to justify the cost. At the present time only the IL HWA brand is using pure 100% six year old ginseng roots in their concentrate.
Why is IL HWA Korean Panax ginseng superior to other brands of Korean Panax ginseng?
IL HWA only uses fresh six-year old whole Korean Panax ginseng roots, never just the rootlets. The whole roots are then processed using a double jacket low temperature vat which never exceeds 72 degrees. The end result is a liquid concentrate with a saponin content identical to the fresh roots before processing. The IL HWA Korean ginseng concentrate is not mixed with anything which would reduce its potency.
What is the purpose of Sun Chlorella?

Researchers have found Sun Chlorella beneficial for the following reasons:

• It helps generate red blood cells as all chlorophyll does, thereby increasing the amount of oxygen in the circulatory system.
• It strengthens the immune system.
• It assists in the healing of wounds and ulcers.
• It improves digestion and bowel function.
• It protects against radiation.
• It stimulates the growth and repair of tissues.

Why are digestive enzymes needed?
While it is true that the human body secretes enzymes for digesting foods, it’s ability to do so becomes impaired tremendously due to abuse. Depending on how much cooked and processed foods are consumed, the ability of digesting foods can be impaired in as little as 20 or 30 years. The pancreas becomes exhausted and no longer able to produce sufficient quantities of enzymes to properly break down our foods for digestion. This can lead to obesity, under weight, skin problems, food allergies, malnutrition, reduced energy and several overall health problems as well as digestive tract disturbances such as gas, bloating, indigestion, constipation and diarrhea. By taking digestive enzymes with our meals we can more easily digest our food, allowing the body to absorb the nutrients which in turn more fully nourish the cells, improving our health and energy while we cleanse and allow the digestive system to repair itself.
What is the purpose of vitamin E?
It is an antioxidant which assists the body in copeing with stress by providing the cells with oxygen and maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.
Why is it necessary to take a multi vitamin/mineral formula?
Due to a lifetime of poor eating habits and an overburdened and toxic digestive system, our ability to properly digest and assimilate the nutrients from our food, is severely hampered. This condition, over time, will leave the body without the necessary nutrients needed to properly maintain abundant health and energy. Until we can eat and assimilate our food properly, by supplying extra nutrients in the form of a supplement, the body will be able to repair itself more readily. Otherwise fatigue will set in and the healing process will slow down considerably.
What is the purpose of the C-B-R?
To ensure that the body receives a daily supply of vitamin C, bioflavonoids and rutin, which are crucial to the maintenance and repair of blood vessels, skin, bone and muscles. Also vital for a strong immune system and absorption of iron.
What is the purpose of dry skin brushing?

The skin is the largest eliminative organ. Regular dry skin brushing removes dead skin cells and stimulates the skin to eliminate toxins more efficiently thereby speeding up the internal cleansing of the body and reducing stress to the kidneys, lungs and colon which also assists in the elimination of waste. Other benefits are:

• Stimulates better blood and lymph circulation.
• Stimulates nerve endings in the skin while also energizing the nervous system.
• Tones and tightens skin.

Why is only fresh fruit eaten for breakfast?
Fresh fruit is very easy to digest. For most people, their digestive system has been severely overworked from eating processed foods. Fruit allows the body to receive nourishment without overburdening the digestive organs since it is basically self-digesting. Fruit also allows the body to purge itself of waste material from foods eaten the day before, thereby preparing the digestive system for more efficient digestion for the rest of the foods eaten that day.
What is eaten for lunch?
Lunch is considered a carbohydrate meal because concentrated proteins such as found in chicken, fish, turkey, beans, tofu and lentils are not consumed. Instead, one fine example of lunch is an alfalfa sprout sandwich with an 8 oz glass of raw carrot juice. The bread used is made from seven grains that have been sprouted. It is completely flour-less and high in fiber and nutrition. A natural safflower mayonnaise sauce is used on the bread to provide essential fatty acids. Next, a combination of fresh vegetables is used such as green or red bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, carrots, or any other fresh vegetable, except head lettuce. Head lettuce is made up of mostly water, with very little nutrition. It also has two chemicals related to cocaine and heroin which, when consumed, stop digestion. Use any dark green, leafy vegetable, like romaine, which has valuable nutrients such as magnesium, calcium and chlorophyll. We layer the veggies with fresh alfalfa sprouts which are loaded with health building nutrients, chlorophyll and enzymes. We also drink one 8 oz glass of raw carrot juice which contains health building nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, beta carotene, and enzymes.
If DC-1 acts as the natural laxative, why do I need DC-2?
Our physicians remind us of the importance of a proper lifestyle including diet and exercise. You believe your dentist when he tells you of the plating or plaque that builds on the teeth and gums. It’s this same buildup or plating that takes place in the gastrointestinal tract – to often prevent nutrient absorption. DC-1 is used to break apart the hardened plaque. Two capsules just before each meal works effectively for most people. Some need more in the beginning. Like draino in the clooged sink, DC-1 breaks up the obstruction. When you take DC-2 during the second level, DC-2 acts like a sponge to soak up and cleanse the bowel, of this once hardened material.

DC-2 is an excellent cleanser for colitis, hemorrhoids and ulcers. Take DC-2 forty-five minutes before breakfast, giving it time to leave the stomach and enter the intestines. It is important to follow with 8-10 glasses of water between meals, to continue flushing the loosened waste out of your intestines.

What is eaten for dinner?
This meal is comprised of a protein and a fresh, raw, green salad made of non-starchy vegetables and one 8 oz glass of raw carrot juice. A strict vegetarian would eat starch or beans with vegetables.
Can red meat be eaten?
It is best not to include red meat because it is too high in fat, especially saturated fat and cholesterol. Both are implicated in heart disease and colon cancer. Also, of all the animal proteins, it produces the highest amount of uric acid in the body, contributing to an overly acid pH. People who suffer from gout and various forms of arthritis should avoid red meat as the uric acid intensifies these types of conditions.
Is frying really that bad?
The method of preparing our foods by frying is used world wide, but that doesn’t mean that it is good for you. First, extreme heat is used which destroys a lot of valuable nutrition and second it is fried in oil which contributes to excess fat calories. Also, super heated oils are dangerous to the body in that they produce trans fatty acids which cause damage to the body at the cellular level. This damage is caused by free radicals. This type of super heated oil is also very toxic to the liver and produces low density lipoprotein cholesterol, which is the bad type. There is also increased risk of colon cancer as well. In addition, fat that is heated to a high degree becomes rancid. It is best to bake or broil your chicken or fish thereby avoiding excess fat calories and trans fatty acid toxicity.
When do I take DC-3 and why?
In approximately the third month in our cleansing program the DC-1 and DC-2 should have cleared a pathway through the large intestine, making way for the small intestine to begin cleaning. Remember DC-1 and DC-2 dislodged and moved out the obstructing debris. Dc-3 can now reach the inside skin to continue cleansing and healing. That’s why it’s important to include DC-1 and DC-2 with DC-3.

You will notice your health improving from continued bowel movements as your weight is slowly adjusted and your energy returns. DC-3 aids in cleansing the villi which are now able to do their job more efficiently: absorbing the life-giving nutrients into the bloodstream to be delivered to the cells.

By maintaining your new lifestyle, good fresh foods will no longer stick to the intestinal walls to narrow passageways to vital elimination.

I've had great results with DC-1. I no longer have constipation and I'm just happy with results. Can I just keep using it without bothering with all those levels?
You could do just that, however, you’d be missing out on a lot of health benefits that way. DC-1 begins to clean you colon. The years of buildup of old, hardened, mucoid plaque don’t come off that easily. Don’t be fooled, for example, by ads that say that a quicky one week cleanse will take care of it, No way.

DC-2 continues that process by acting like a broom to remove all of those deposits that DC-1 has begun to loosen. In addition, fiber has been shown to produce some really great benefits for your overall wellness regimen. Fiber binds to cholesterol and triglycerides and carries them out of your body before they can get into your bloodstream where they can cause serious troubles.

Fiber also promotes regularity and keeps old fecal matter form remaining in your eliminative system for too long where it putrefies and contributes to the development of colon cancer.

A couple of years ago, Leonard A Cohen, a researcher with the American Health Foundation, found that the benefits of a high-fiber intake can be extended to breast cancer. He found that colon and breast cancer tend to arrive at the same time. Estrogen is needed to initiate breast cancer, he said and his research suggests that fiber changes the way estrogen is metabolized, offering a protective effect against cancer.

I started your program about a week ago and I am allergic to DC-1. What should I do?
Some people on the program may feel that the program items are causing an allergic reaction and become concerned as to whether they should continue with the program. The fact is that many people for years have taken medications to fight colds, flus, fevers and perhaps certain allergies. These drugs merely suppress the symptoms while the underlying causes remain, which is a highly toxic system and weakened immunity. As you begin cleansing and properly eating you will flush our all the years of accumulated drugs and bring to the fore suppressed illnesses such as colds, flus ad allergic-like reactions.

Also, let me read this comment to you from Granville F.Knight, who is a medical doctor in Santa Monica: “I would say that 95% of my patients with allergies have a dietary deficiency.”

Depending on your actual condition, you may go through a few reversals, or many. I can say this with confidence because others before you have had very similar experience with the Digestive Cleansers or Ginseng Tea and when they continued they cleaned out their system and what appeared to be allergic reactions stopped.

This, by the way, is true also for those who were allergic to certain foods before they started the Program and who overcame those allergies because they restored their bodies’ natural state through the Program.

Why are you so sure that your program is special?
To have vibrant health you need to do the following:

1) Cleanse and tone the small and large intestine.

2) Cleanse and tone the liver.

3) Purify the blood with regular use of IL HWA Korean ginseng.

4) Practice healthy eating habits.

5) Incorporate proper food combining.

6) Prepare your foods as naturally as possible by cutting down or eliminating altogether frying, grilling and microwaving.

7) Use food supplements such as enzymes, vitamins and minerals.

8) Drink plenty of pure water – distilled is recommended.

9) Eliminate bad habits such as smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, junk and processed foods such as coffee, candy, pop and sugar.

10) Eliminate excessive intake of proteins and fats.

11) Exercise regularly and

12) Get proper rest and sleep.

13) Peace of mind.

Of all the program on the market today, only HSU Cleansing Program meets all of these requirements.

Your Internal Cleansing Program is a three months program. What do I do after that time?
There are three levels on the Program, but you mostly certainly should not end it after three months. If you read “Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management” by Dr. Jensen you will see that he recommends to cleanse for a period of at least a year. For the average person, that’s how long it takes to remove the toxic buildup form the walls of one’s intestines. After one year you should then evaluate yourself and see how you’re doing. I myself started the Program many years ago, but I still take the Digestive Cleansers, the Ginseng Tea and the other supplements. I continue this way because I don’t want any buildup in my colon.
Do I have to worry about Intestinal Wall Discoloration?
If you are taking DC-1 and your physician performs a colonoscopy, you may receive the news that your colon appears discolored with either dark spots or large dark patches. Your physician may present this news to you with a very serious face warning you of impending doom and gloom, however, there is nothing to be concerned about. This discoloration is caused by the herb Cascara Sagrada which is the main ingredient in DC-1.

The German government, in a study of herbs, discovered this effect and published it in the “COMPLETE GERMAN COMMISSION E MONOGRAPHS.” It says:

“Pigment implantation into the intestinal mucosa (pseudomelanosis coli) is harmless and usually reverses upon discontinuation of the drug.”

In other words, continue to use Mrs. Hsu’s Digestive Cleansers with the confidence that they are of the highest quality and tested and valued for more than 3 decades by thousands of happy customers for their outstanding efficacies.

What is Halitosis?
Halitosis is simply bad breath which can be caused by such things as poor dental hygiene, smoking, gum and tooth decay and spicy food such as garlic and onions. The primary cause however is internal putrefaction or fermentation and rotting of foods in the colon and small intestine which comes from improper diet, poor assimilation and elimination.
How can the problem of halitosis be quickly eliminated?
By the use of internal cleansing in combination with a whole food diet, distilled water and ginseng tea. This will remove the foul smelling putrefaction from the intestines. Also, the use of chlorophyll from chlorella or blue green algae and friendly bacteria from bifidus and acidophilus will rid the bowel of bad bacteria which can cause fermentation of food eaten.
What is the cause of foot and underarm odor?
Body odor can be the result of bacteria under the moist armpits and sweaty feet, and eating of strong smelling foods, such as garlic and onions. However, the primary cause is internal putrefaction or rotting of foods inside the colon and small intestine. The way to solve the problem is to cleanse internally and eat a more natural diet, following proper food combining guide lines.
What causes hair loss and can anything be done?
Hair loss can be the result of genetics but by far the greatest reason is poor eating habits, bad circulation and poor blood which nourishes the hair root and an over acid condition caused by a high fat, high protein diet. The way to correct this is by reducing fat and protein, eating a more natural diet of whole, unprocessed foods, internal cleansing of the bowels and the use of ginseng and chlorophyll to reduce the over acid condition of the blood.
Why do people, who smoke for any length of time, have so many wrinkles on their faces?
Cigarettes not only contain nicotine but also over 45 other chemicals, one of which is acetaldehyde, which is released during smoking. This chemical destroys the collagen, or cross-linking bonds which hold our tissues together, creating many small wrinkles.
Is it possible to improve one's vision, even though one has worn glasses for years?
Yes, it is possible. In order to do this, one has to cleanse the body of waste material in both the intestines and blood. Also, the liver has to be cleansed. Proper pH must be maintained, as well as a natural, unprocessed diet. By doing this and exercising, one can improve blood flow to the eyes carrying vital nutrients for good eye health. Use of cod liver oil is recommended as it is beneficial to good blood flow and lubrication of the inner eyes. Also, exercising the eye muscles with the use of vision training glasses is very beneficial.
How can a breast tumor be reversed?
Within the breast are located numerous lymph nodes which are connected to the lymph vessels. This lymph system has no pump like the heart so the fluid that circulates must be moved by muscle contractions. The lymph node’s purpose is to neutralize bacteria, but the lymph nodes can become overburdened to the point that they become infected and swell, creating a lump. If left unchecked, it could become a tumor, either benign or cancerous. This situation occurs because the body becomes overburdened with toxic waste from the bowel which has accumulated from years of poor eating habits. This waste enters the lymph system overwhelming the lymph nodes, suppressing the immune system and creating an over acid pH level in the blood. This is a perfect breeding ground for cancer also. The eating of too much fat can affect breast tumors as well, as it will cause an increase in estrogen levels. The way to reverse this situation is to cleanse all putrefactive waste from the intestines, drink distilled water and ginseng tea, reduce the fat levels, eat a whole foods diet and incorporate dry skin brushing along with regular exercise.
How can eczema and psoriasis be corrected?
Both eczema and psoriasis are skin afflictions appearing as dry scaly patches on the elbows, knees, feet, hands, scalp and other areas of the body. When the kidneys and liver can not properly rid the body of toxins, they are then eliminated through the skin which is the largest eliminative organs of the body. The liver and kidneys become overburdened because of the toxic waste material which has accumulated in the intestines from many years of poor eating habits and bad elimination. Also, alcohol, smoking, soft drinks, coffee, tea and city water contribute to this internal poisoning. To correct these two conditions, the bowels, blood, liver and kidneys must be cleansed and toned. Coupled with a 50 to 95% raw foods diet, the body should be able to eliminate properly, allowing the skin to heal.
Is exercise really that important?

The human body is designed to be used. In fact, if not exercised regularly, we can not have optimum health. The benefits of exercise are:

• Relieves stress, fights depression
• Improved digestion and elimination
• Organs and glands are stimulated allowing them to function more efficiently
• Muscle tissue is kept toned and strengthened
• Prevents bone loss
• Maintains healthy metabolism and body fat levels
• Strengthens the entire cardiovascular system
• Assists in removal of waste through increased respiration, perspiration and blood and lymph circulation
• Maintains flexibility and keeps joins healthy
• Reduces blood pressure Increases good cholesterol (HDL), decreases bad (LDL)
• Lowers overall cholesterol and blood fat levels Increases absorption of oxygen in blood and cells Slows down the aging process Stabilizes blood sugar

What is prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer is simply cancer of the male prostate gland. This gland is made up of muscular tissue and has a spongy center of secreting cells divided into three lobes completely enclosed in a strong, muscular capsule. This gland is supplied with many nerves and blood vessels which not only carry nutrients to it but also carry waste away. Due to the buildup of toxic waste inside the intestines the prostate can become congested because waste material from it can not be removed properly. In fact, the waste from the blood and intestines will add even more waste to the prostate, contributing to further congestion. Glandular tissue is very sensitive to as well, causing further swelling of the tissue. If the tissue remains congested with waste material for too long, the delicate tissue inside the prostate will develop cancer cells which slowly grow, many times undetected. To reverse this, the individual has to thoroughly cleanse the intestines, liver and the blood. The proper pH must be maintained as well as reducing the intake of fat. Use of a whole foods diet with distilled water and ginseng is essential to properly nourishing the prostate. Chlorophyll from chlorella or blue green algae along with friendly bacteria will eliminate excessive bacteria, allowing the prostate to properly remove its own waste material and eliminate congestion. The addition of essential fatty acids has been found to be crucial to a healthy prostate as well.
How long does it take for the blood to circulate one cycle through the human body?
The volume of blood in a adult male is about 5 to 6 liters and in an adult female about 4 to 5 liters. It takes sixty seconds or less for the blood to complete one full cycle through the body.
Can one's stool become clean enough not to smell putrid?
The key word here is putrid. Many individuals have retained toxic, fermenting waste in their colon and small intestines for so long that every time they have a bowel movement, the feces have a very strong smell like that of rotting meat. After cleansing one’s digestive system and then applying proper eating habits, this putrid smell will be eliminated entirely. The odor of the stool will then vary according to the amount of strong foods eaten, such as garlic and onions. Even when strong smelling foods are not eaten, there will be some odor because of the natural process of digestion from secretions of bile, hydrochloric acid and the combination of amylase, protease and lipase, starch, protein and fat digesting enzymes.
Can body odor go away?
Yes, unnatural body odor can be eliminated. In many cases this odor is caused by internal putrefaction, releasing itself through the pores of the skin. One must cleanse internally, restore the proper pH balance and eat a 50 to 95% raw foods diet. The only odor emanating then would come from eating strong smelling foods such as garlic and onions, or perhaps an over abundance of animal protein that day.
What does it indicate when the area under the eyes is bluish and puffy?
This can indicate a food allergy and a badly congested lymph system from an accumulation of toxic waste.
How can blood pressure be reversed?
High blood pressure can be the result of too much sodium and too little potassium causing water retention, kidney problems, obesity, narrowed arteries from deposits of fat, low animal protein diet and consume more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, drink distilled water and ginseng tea, and carrot juice. Combine the above with bowel and liver cleansing and the body will naturally cleanse itself of all foreign debris and will adjust itself to a healthier blood pressure.
How can diabetes be reversed?
This is the body’s inability to properly metabolize sugar. There are two kinds of diabetes: a) juvenile – when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or ineffective insulin, and b) adult onset diabetes – where enough insulin is produced but its action is blocked by the effects of a diet high in fat. Due to the destruction of the part of the pancreas that produces insulin, one may never be free of taking insulin, but at least the dosage can be reduced by eating a low fat, complex carbohydrate diet, combined with the Hsu Cleansing Program. Ginseng plays a big part in its ability to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. As for the adult-onset diabetes – it can be reversed by simply utilizing the entire Hsu program, especially ginseng. This low-fat, high carbohydrate diet and cleansing program will reduce blood and body fat levels allowing the insulin to function properly.
How can hypoglycemia be reversed?
Hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, is caused by eating excess sugar and processed carbohydrates which are void of vitamins necessary for proper blood sugar maintenance. It can be reversed by following the Hsu eating and cleansing program which has whole foods intact with the nutrients for stable blood sugar levels. Ginseng, once again, is known for its ability to normalize the blood sugar levels, whether high or low. The cleansing process will insure absorption of nutrients and elimination of waste which could interfere with the normal functioning of the pancreas and liver.
How can kidney stones be reversed?
Kidney stones are formed in the kidneys from crystal deposits, usually made of calcium and oxalates. The oxalates come from oxalate-rich foods such as spinach, rhubarb, peanuts and chocolate. Also a diet rich in animal protein creates more oxalates in the blood as well as uric acid and calcium. Other factors involved in the formation of kidney stones are excessive use of coffee and alcohol, a high sodium diet, low fiber intake and low intake of water. To correct the problem, one simply has to follow the Hsu Cleansing Program. Animal protein is eaten only once a day with two meals that are vegetarian. Distilled Water with ginseng will help to dissolve the stones as it purifies the blood. No coffee, pop, dairy, city water and alcohol is used. The increased fiber from the more natural foods and bowel cleansing will insure that excess oxalate and uric acid is eliminated, thereby avoiding the production of new stones.
How can gall stones be reversed?
Gall stones are formed when the bile becomes overly saturated with cholesterol which crystallizes into hard pellets as small as grains of sand or as large as an inch in diameter. These stones are caused by a diet high in saturated fats, fried foods, sugar, white flour and low fiber intake. To correct the problem, a diet high in complex carbohydrates, from whole grains, fruits and especially vegetables would be used. Fluids used would consist of distilled water with ginseng and carrot juice. A thorough cleansing of the bowel with DC-1, DC-2 and DC-3, as well as using LIV-C to cleanse and tone the liver will slowly dissolve the stones.
Why do we need liver cleansing?
The typical American diet of sugar, coffee, alcohol, white flour and rice, saturated fats, fried foods, fast foods, dairy, soft drinks, city water and low fiber, creates an enormous work load for the liver. After many years of bad eating and drinking habits, the liver becomes overloaded and can no longer function properly to maintain a healthy body. The only way to correct this problem is to eat a diet rich in natural foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lower animal protein intake. This will reduce the amount of fats, especially saturated fat and cholesterol. Distilled water with ginseng and carrot juice will be used as well. To assist the liver in removing toxic waste and accumulated fats from itself, Liv-C, along with DC-1, DC-2 and DC-3 would be incorporated. over a period of time the liver will be thoroughly cleansed and functioning at peak efficiency once again, contributing to one’s health and well-being.
What is the reversal process when the body goes through a rejuvenation?
This is the process of the body retracing its steps from a weakened condition or bad health, to one of strong condition, or good health. As the body cleanses itself of toxins and poisons and receives health-building nutrients, it creates strong healthy cells. During this process, a person may experience what is known as a healing crisis. This is normal will pass. Depending on the past history of a person’s health, he or she may go through a few, if any, healing crises, or many. After the body has finally eliminated all toxins and unhealthy cells or tissue, and created healthy cells, no more healing crisis will occur. This period of time of this crisis will of course vary according to each person.
How long does it take the body to cleanse itself of all poisons and waste?
Each person is unique in this regard. Everyone has led a different life-style of eating and drinking, therefore each person will have a different period of time. Also, each person has been exposed to taken different medicines, chemicals and drugs in their lifetime. Constitutions figure into this as well. For some it may take only a few short months to cleanse, but for others it may take years.
Can people who suffer from insomnia obtain relief?
Yes, they can. There exists a combination of factors contributing to insomnia such as coffee and alcohol, depression, anxiety, the use of medicine, especially sleeping pills, drugs, cigarettes, hypoglycemia, thyroid dysfunction, poor eating habits and lack of regular exercise. When the body is malnourished, full of toxins, poisons, drugs and chemicals, the natural order of sleep can be easily affected. To help establish the body’s natural pattern of sleep, one must eliminate all health destroying habits and then incorporate the Hsu Internal Cleansing and Proper Food Combining Program. Many have found that they sleep much more peacefully and waken much more rested. The last cup of ginseng taken at bedtime plays a large role in this.
How is uric acid formed and can it be removed from the body?
Uric acid is formed from eating excessive amounts of foods high in purines such as meats, organ meat, shellfish, sardines and anchovies. Alcohol and obesity also produce uric acid. Uric acid accumulation can be reversed by eliminating alcohol and foods high in purines, combined with internal cleansing of the blood and kidneys with ginseng tea and distilled water, internal cleansing of the bowels and liver, eating a low protein, low fat and high complex carbohydrate diet. The diet should be at least 50% raw with the use of fresh carrot and vegetable juices, each day. Of course, all junk foods and drinks such as coffee and pop are avoided, as well as dairy and sugar.
Can a diabetic or hyperglycemic person eat fruits for breakfast?
Although fruit does contain a sugar called fructose, it does not raise the blood sugar level in the human body like dextrose, sucrose and other forms of sugar. It has a low glycemic index level, in part because of the way fructose is metabolized by the body once in the bloodstream. Also, whole fruits such as apples, contain fiber which allows the fructose to be slowly released into the blood stream instead of all at once such as when drinking a glass of fruit juice.
How do fungi, parasites, worms and viruses congregate in the human body?
We live in a hostile environment, surrounded daily by fungi, parasites, worms and viruses. We can become infected with worms and viruses from contact with people and by the air we breath. A fungus can also be gotten by contact. Parasites can be picked up from our foods, walking barefoot on contaminated soil, from animal contact and drinking water. As long as our bodies are clean internally, and we are eating ad diet of fresh, raw natural foods and clean water, these hostile invaders can not harm us. The problem arises when we try to live off of processed foods and fluids such as coffee and soft drinks. As the body collects wastes in the bowel and contaminates the blood, a person develops the perfect breeding ground for these unwanted invaders. The poor nutrition and accumulated waste weaken our immune system thereby allowing these invaders to flourish. By cleansing our bowels, liver and blood, and through eating healthy, fresh foods and drinking ginseng tea daily, we can develop a very strong immune system to combat these invaders. We need to keep our eliminative processes functioning at peak efficiency, which will allow our bodies to easily throw off any unwanted hostile invaders.
What causes people to be overweight?
There are several factors which contribute to obesity. First and foremost is the fact that people who are obese eat too many processed foods over a long period of time. the liver becomes overburdened and cannot properly metabolize fats which then become stored in the body. Also, other low nutritional value of such processed foods contributes to malnutrition which means that the body does not receive the nutrients necessary to operate at peak efficiency, reducing one’s health and slowing the metabolism. Also, people engage in low calorie diets in an effort to lose weight, which further slows the metabolism. To little exercise or no exercise is also a factor. Because a lot of people eat too much sodium and drink little pure water, the body tends to retain fluids which also contributes to being overweight. The high fat, high sugar diets with little fiber, contribute to bowel sluggishness or the inability to eliminate waste materials properly. This stored waste materials contribute to being overweight. The only way to eliminate this problem of being overweight, is to stop eating all processed foods and engage in a full body cleanse while incorporating the eating principles of the Hsu Program.
Can the cause of backaches be the same for everyone?
Backaches are quite common, especially lower backache. While backaches can be arributed to a pulled muscle or strained ligament, there are other causes as well. The back can ache because the kidneys are not functioning properly. This is due in part to not drinking enough pure water. The coffee, fruit juice and sodas people drink, dehydrate the body. Couple this with a high sodium diet and the kidneys begin to malfunction, causing lower back pain. Add to this the toxic poisons leaking into the blood from the colon and you have an added burden for the kidneys. The back can hurt as well from calcium loss in the supporting skeletal structure caused by a protein rich diet, coffee, soda, sugar and alcohol which contributes to an overly acidic blood system. Another cause is dehydration, causing the soft spongy pads between the disks of the vertebrae to shrink. The only way to overcome these problems so as to have a healthy back, is to eliminate all bad eating and rinking habits and incorporate the Hsu Cleansing Program.
What is lupus?
Lupus is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the organs. The immune system malfunctions and develops antibodies that attack connective tissue. Joints and blood vessels are affected as well, producing symptoms similar to arthritis. Viral infections, immunizations and mental stress can affect the development of lupus. Parasites are involved with lupus because the droppings excreted contain poisons which will prevent healing. These poisons combined with the ones from the air, water and food we eat, overwhelm the immune system and irritate the tissues of the body, causing inflammation. Lupus sufferers have to eliminate all processed foods. In order to build the immune system, all health destroying habits, such as smoking, also have to be eliminated. A diet of mostly whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits along with distilled water and carrot juice should be used. Protein from animal sources can be used once a day in the evening, or from a vegetarian source such as lentils, beans of various kinds and soy products such as tofu. The body must be cleansed of all accumulated waste internally. DC-1, DC-2, DC-3, LIV-C and ginseng should be incorporated to accomplish these purposes. Diatomaceous earth should be used in the first month to destroy parasites in the intestines. To assist in the repair and healing of the body, food supplements should be incorporated as well.
Why do people come down with a cold or the flu?
Colds and flu are really acute diseases which the body uses to cleanse itself of toxins. Germs and viruses will not invade a body that has a strong immune system and is clean. These toxins accumulate in the body from poor eating habits. As the blood stream picks up the toxins from the bowel, they settle in various parts of the body. As the elimination decreases the toxins increase, germs and viruses invade the body, causing an acute disease like a cold or the flu. This in turn allows the sinuses and lungs and diarrhea from the bowels, which can also contain mucus. The way to prevent colds and the flu is to keep the body thoroughly cleansed internally and to nourish it properly. This can be done with the Hsu Cleansing Program.
What is candida and what causes it?
Candida is a yeast infection and one of the main causes is the overuse of antibiotics. Antibiotics are also found in beef, chickens, as well as in dairy products. Other causes are a high sugar diet, steroid hormones, birth control pills, various drugs, and malnutrition which weakens the immune system. To eliminate the yeast infection, all processed foods and drinks must be eliminated. The bowels must be cleansed as well as the blood. The liver especially must be cleansed since it is responsible for filtering the blood. Raw vegetable juice and distilled water with ginseng will assist in cleansing the blood, while DC-1, DC-2, DC-3 and LIV-C will clean the bowels and liver. The diet must be consist of whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits with one serving of animal protein once a day, or a vegetarian source if preferred. Food supplements will assist the body in healing itself and strengthening the immune system while digestive enzymes, maxidophilus and maxibifidus will inhibit yeast overgrowth and assist in digestion of foods.
Should urine have strong color and odor?
The odor and color of urine varies throughout the day. The odor and color will be slightly greater in the morning upon arising when we first urinate. The reason for this is that we have been asleep for 6 to 8 hours which allows the kidneys to concentrate the liquid waste in the bladder. Because of this, the sediment is much darker and the odor is the strongest. As we begin to drink fluids, such as distilled water and carrot juice, we urinate more frequently, not allowing the waste in our urine to concentrate in the bladder. Now the odor and color of our urine are much less. The odor and color can also vary because of the types and quantities of food eaten. The more animal protein eaten, the darker the urine and stronger the smell. This is because of waste materials, such as uric acid, a by-product of anima protein digestion. Other reasons for a strong odor and color of urine are illness or disease such as diabetes and poor kidney function and toxemia, or the accumulation of waste in the bowels and blood. In general though, when we are healthy and eat properly like the Hsu Program teaches our urine will not have a strong odor and color.
What does uric acid produce in the body?
Whenever the uric acid level in the body stays elevated for a period of time, uric acid crystals form and lodge themselves in muscle tissue and joints. As a result, the person’s joints and muscles become inflamed the cause pain. To alleviate this condition, one must follow the Hsu Cleansing Program which cleanses the body of accumulated acid crystals, thereby reducing and eventually eliminating the pain.
Does a symptom in one part of the body mean that the related illness is limited to only that part of the body? ex: Does pain in the hands mean that there is an illness only in the hands?
When the body shows symptoms in a particular area, that is a warning sign something is wrong. For example, if a person has arthritic pains in the elbows or knees and no place else, that does not mean that just the elbows or knees are bad. The body as a whole is out of balance or in an unhealthy state which is contributing to the deterioration of those joints. To correct the situation, the body as a whole must be treated. This of course would be done by using the Hsu Cleansing Program which would bring the body back to a healthy state. The body would then be able to stop the destruction of those joints and begin repairing them. The reversal of any health problem would be treated the same way.
What causes bone spurs and how can this condition be reversed?
Bone spurs, sharp outgrowths of bone tissue on the back of heels and on joints, are the result of an acid/alkaline imbalance in the body. The blood is too acid while the stomach and digestive system produce too little acid and enzymes. The digestive system becomes bogged down from trying to digest a refined diet of excess fats, carbohydrates and proteins. This congests the liver, overworks the kidneys and creates a very toxic system, or toxemia. To reverse bone spurs all processed food and drink must be eliminated. Proper food combining with at least 50 to 70% raw foods must be utilized. Complete cleansing of the blood, bowels, kidneys and liver with ginseng, DC1, DC2, DC3 and LIV-C should be used as well. Digestive enzymes will be used daily to thoroughly digest and absorb nutrients and supplements. Only distilled water and raw juices can be used for drinking and cooking. Over time, as the pH stabilizes, the bone spurs will dissolve. Of course, Mrs. Hsu’s program, utilized in full, will cover all these areas.
What is narcolepsy and can it be reversed?
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder where the person could fall asleep anytime of the day or night, or just become extremely drowsy. This occurs without warning. Some causes of this condition are hypoglycemia, vitamin B-6 deficiency, constant exposure to physical and mental stress, low thyroid function, brain tumor, poor assimilation, low oxygen and heredity. Depending on the cause of the person’s narcolepsy, there could be a complete reversal or at least a tremendous improvement. This can only come about by thoroughly cleansing the whole body. This will eliminate toxins and improve the pH. The person would have to consume only light, nutritious foods, leaning to 50 to 70% raw foods, properly combined for efficient assimilation. Digestive enzymes will help as well. Proper food supplementation as outlined on the Hsu program and 3 cups of ginseng in distilled water each day. This will assist the body in cleansing the blood, establishing proper pH and increase oxygen absorption. As always, the complete Hsu Cleansing and Eating Program must be used for the best results.
When a person shows what seems to be an allergic condition to program items, is the individual truly allergic, cleansing or reversing?
Some people on the program may feel that the program items are causing an allergic reaction and become concerned as to whether they should continue with the program. The fact is that many people for years have taken medications to fight colds, flus, fevers and perhaps certain allergies. These drugs merely suppress the symptoms while the underlying causes remain, which is a highly toxic system and weakened immunity. As they begin cleansing and properly eating they begin to flush out all the years of accumulated drugs and bring to the fore suppressed illnesses such as colds, flus and allergic-like reactions. Depending on the person, they may go through a few reversals or many. The important thing is to help them to appreciate that they must continue with their cleansing until they have gone through all of their reversals.
What is lymphoma?
Lymphoma is cancer of the lymph glands, also called Hodgkin’s Disease. Some of the many functions of the lymph system is to combat bacteria, produce lymphocytes, transport cholesterol and fats and assist in the elimination of toxins. The lymph system becomes overwhelmed with toxins as the bowels and blood stream accumulate a lifetime of toxic waste.

What contributes to an eroding gum line?
The major cause for loss of teeth is from an eroding gum line and not cavities. This erosion takes place for several reasons:

1. Plaque buildup from eating soft, processed foods

What is the definition of processed food?
Any whole natural food, such as an apple, that has been altered from its original state. For example: dicing or slicing an apple would be considered processing.

The more unprocessed foods we eat, the healthier and disease resistant the body becomes.
How important is calorie counting?
Many people become obsessed with the number of calories they consume each day in an attempt to lose or gain weight, not realizing that it is not the quantity of the food that matters, but the quality. Each person has a daily nutritional need of vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and carbohydrates to maintain their health and energy at peak levels. If the types of foods eaten are mainly comprised of processed foods, then they have to eat greater quantities to meet their daily nutritional requirements. This can lead to obesity and poor health. On the other hands, if the person eats mostly natural and unprocessed foods, then the quantity of food needed to meet their nutritional requirement is far less. Eating like this satisfies the hunger, which protects the person from binge eating and craving foods high in fat and sugar which are very low in nutritional value but high in calories. Eating mostly natural, unprocessed foods allows you to eat as much as you want without worrying about counting calories because your nutritional needs will be met before you eat too many calories.
