Nutra-Klens
A New Beginning
Pushing Your Buttons
Have you ever wished that your body had a “reset” button like the one on your computer? With a push of a button, you would get a fresh start, a “re-boot” that would allow you to clear out your system and get back to feeling better.
Unfortunately, there is no “reset” button hidden on the human body. Our forefathers recognized the value of “fresh starts” and made regular spiritual and physical cleansing part of every major religion.
When you are feeling unwell, it is hard to assess what is making you feel poorly when there are so many possibilities. However, there are strategies you can use to clear your mind and your body of the stress and “toxins” that are making you sick. With the Nutra-Klens program, you get a fresh start, and from this new beginning, you will be able to better sense which parts of your life and diet are affecting you both positively and negatively.
Inner Passage
As a Clinical Nutrition Specialist, I can definitively tell you that what you eat has a significant impact on how you feel. There are as many nerve cells attached to and monitoring your gut as there are in your brain. Just as your brain responds negatively to verbal insults, so does your gut respond negatively to dietary insults. Fatigue, restlessness, mood swings, bloating, gassy, belching, burning, churning, gurgling, twisting, cramping, and “toxic” are just some of the common symptoms people feel when their gut is out of balance.
Detox involves following a program that limits the toxic burden going into the body and helps the body get rid of the current toxin load. The Nutra-Klens protocol presented here will help you achieve this balance and cleansing.
Nutra-Klens is important, supportive care for patients experiencing migraine headaches, muscle and joint pains, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, food allergies and intolerances, chemical and environmental sensitivities, skin problems, and alcohol and chemical dependency.
Unlike many other detox programs, the benefits of the Nutra-Klens ingredients have withstood the rigors of scientific inquiry and reports.
Doing The Two Step
The liver is the primary organ responsible for neutralizing toxins in the blood. Liver detoxification
involves two main steps: Phase I and Phase II. Both of these phases are important for complete and reliable detoxification.
When your body has been exposed to months and years of air pollution, food pollution, water pollution and mood pollution (i.e.…stress), the liver’s ability to filter and detoxify becomes overwhelmed by the muck and mire of modern daily life. Much like an air or water filter that becomes blackened with filtered pollutants, your liver’s detoxifying abilities can be overrun which allows untreated toxins to spill into your body.
Hence, you feel “toxic.”
Nutra-Klens fully supports the Phase I and II liver detoxification systems and refreshes these important systems so they can work at 100% of their capacity. Using Nutra-Klens is like replacing the dirty air and water filters in your home and car.
A Four Stage Cleaning Process
The Nutra-Klens program involves four stages to maximize the detoxification process: (1) Washout (2) Secondary Clearing (3) Physiological Re-adjustment (4) Stabilization.
To get the maximal benefit of this detoxification program, it is necessary to follow the program as closely as possible. If you have any questions, problems, or symptoms that concern you, please contact our office so we can help you stay the course. If some of the recommended foods are those which you are allergic or have not tolerated in the past, do not eat them even if they are on this program. Ask one of our medical or nutrition staff members to assist you in selecting different food options.
Detoxification is not always an easy process to undergo. As toxins are pulled from your body and excreted through your stool and urine, you may initially experience a worsening of your symptoms such as fatigue, headache, and body aches. This usually will last only one or two days and occurs only in a minority of patients. Please contact our office if you have any questions or experience symptoms that concern you.
Because urine and stool are the primary carriers of toxins from the body, it is very important that you drink plenty of water to stimulate urine flow and take measures to keep your bowels regular as well.
You should not start the Nutra-Klens program until both your kidneys and intestines are working reliably. If you consistently have problems in these areas, let us know and we can help get you going…literally.
Adva-Klens is an important companion supplement for the Nutra-Klens program and will help clear toxins from the body and rejuvenate the liver’s detoxification functions. Take one capsule of Adva-Klens twice daily with the Nutra-Klens shake. If you are feeling very toxic, increase this dose to two capsules twice daily until you are feeling better.
Washout Phase: Days 1-3 Detoxification Phase
The first goal of detoxification is to “wash out” toxic substances that may contribute to your sensitivity and the overburdening of the detoxification pathways. Most patients need to eliminate all foods except
Nutra-Klens during the first three days. Some people may need to extend this phase for as long as seven days depending on their toxic burden. I will determine if extending your Washout Phase is
necessary. You should plan on a three-day Washout Phase unless specifically told otherwise.
It is important that you follow the washout program very closely. Even small amounts of the wrong substances or foods can prevent effective toxic clearing.
Instructions for Washout Phase:
• Drink 5-6 Nutra-Klens beverages per day (2 scoops Nutra-Klens + 8 oz. water), take 1 Adva Klens capsule twice daily and drink at least five additional 8 oz. glasses of water each day.
• Space your Nutra-Klens drinks three hours apart (for example, at 7am, 10am,1pm, 4pm, and 7pm)
• No other food is recommended except water.
What to expect in the first three days:
Depending upon the degree of toxic load your body is carrying, you can expect some symptoms of those elements working their way out of your system. During this initial phase some people report mild to strong headaches, an increase in muscular aches and pains, weakness, dizziness or a feeling that everything is happening in slow motion. You may also experience intestinal symptoms including loose bowels or constipation. These symptoms usually occur on day two or three, but keep in mind that this is a good sign, and the next day you should be much better.
Once you are through the Washout Phase, you should feel better than you have in some time.
Secondary Clearing: Days 4-7
You should now consume Nutra-Klens three times daily + 1 Adva-Klens twice daily, and add to your diet foods selected from the Basic Food List. You may want to carry a copy of the Basic Food List in your pocket or purse so you can refer to it when eating in restaurants or events.
There is no limit on portion sizes, but you should go increase your food intake carefully. If you have known or suspected food allergies or intolerance, keep a food diary such as the one located at the back of this program. A food diary will allow you to identify the foods that may be contributing to your symptoms and health problems.
If you are ever in doubt as to what to eat or if you are at an event or restaurant with no good food options, it is better to consume an extra Nutra-Klens shake rather than eat toxic food during this detoxification process. Put a Ziploc baggie filled with one serving of Nutra-Klens in your purse, car, suitcase, briefcase, or office drawer so you can always make the best choice.
Continue to drink five 8oz glasses of pure water each day.
Physiological Readjustment: Days 8 – 14
At this point in the Nutra-Klens program, most people can really feel the beneficial effects of clearing out their toxins.
You should now consume Nutra-Klens two times daily + 1 Adva-Klens twice daily.
Continue following the basic menu plan detailed in the Nutra-Klens program. Feel free to make substitutions to create a more personalized diet using the foods from the Basic Food List.
Stabilization: Days 15 – 21
For this phase, you can test additional foods for your “clean” diet. Make a list of the top 10 foods you like to eat and start testing these foods one at a time. Do not test more than one food from this list in any one day. This will allow you to track the foods which were making you sick and toxic…even if you liked to eat them in the past.
You should continue having one to two Nutra-Klens shakes a day several days per week (have one to two days without any shakes).
Remember to keep a Ziploc baggie filled with one serving of Nutra-Klens handy so you can always make the best choice while you are detoxing.
Beginning Anew
Congratulations on taking this important step in revitalizing and re-invigorating your health.
The personal health choices we make in our hectic, go-go lives often turn our bodies into the human equivalent of a toxic waste Superfund site. It is no surprise that so many of us walk around feeling poorly and with nagging health problems.
The Nutra-Klens program has consistently made a substantial difference in my patients’ lives…and I hope to count you as another success story.
Be Well,
Michael Hirt, M.D.
