Detox, fasting, cleansing, dancing and massage retreats

The Lotus Flower and Detox

The lotus is often found floating on muddy, dirty ponds; yet it maintains its beauty and purity, untainted by the pollution around it.

It seeds in the bottom of muddy, dirty ponds, totally surrounded by darkness, with not a glimmer of light. It gently moves up as if an inner knowledge, an inner light that can not be seen, is guiding it.

Eventually it reaches the surface and the light, where it flowers. As it does so, the lotus flower improves the water around it, which becomes clearer, transparent and allows light and life to flow into the pond.

The lotus is the perfect symbol for mind-body detox, as it has been a symbol of the Chinese culture, Buddhism and the path of Enlightenment.

Are we not like the lotus seed; surrounded by darkness, ignorance and pollution, though it may seem as if we are living in advanced, enlightened times?

The Original Vitratox 7 Day Detox Cleanse Programme

The Original 7-Day Vitratox Detox and Cleanse Programme is a life changing euphoric experience, and will provide you with the inspiration to take new measures with your eating habits and relationship to food.

“The seven day fasting and colon cleansing programme is an integrated system of self purification that combines the benefits of fasting, fibrous intestinal cleansers, nutritional supplements and daily colon irrigations.

It is a complete programme of blood and tissue detoxification that rejuvenates each and every organ, gland, tissue and cell in the body.

It takes exactly seven days to cleanse the entire blood stream by fasting, and it requires seven days to thoroughly rid the lymph system of toxins”

The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity - Daniel Reid

 

Seven days without food might seem a grueling challenge, but actually - it's not!

The original Vitratox kit contains supplements which ensure that you won't get hungry during your fast and cleanse!

It's a pleasure to give your body this clean out and you'll feel amazing afterwards.

This page gives more information about our detox programs, including details about the original 7-Day Cleanse Program:

Detox programmes that work!

 

“The first day is simple. It takes at least 24 hours for the body to commence detoxification and start pouring toxins into the bloodstream for elimination.

The second & third days are the most difficult. By then your bloodstream will be carrying up to ten times its normal load of toxins, as the entire body excretes accumulated poisons into the blood for disposal. You will feel weak, fatigued, stiff, light-headed and perhaps nauseous, much like a heavy hangover.

This is not due to nutritional deficiency, so do not make the most common mistake of first-time faster, which is to break the fast prematurely by eating something to ‘pick you up’. The moment you eat something, the unpleasant symptoms of detoxification disappear- not because of the nutrients in the food but because the food signals the body to halt the detoxification process and gear up for digestion and metabolism instead.

The worse you feel during the first three days, the more toxic are your tissues, and the better the programme is working. Hang in there and you will soon feel better than ever!

Generally, you will start passing these toxified encrustation's of mucus on the fourth or fifth day and continue to do so till the end of the cleanse. This deathly junk is collected in a sieve under the colema board, and you should carefully inspect it after each session. By seeing what comes out of you each time, you will be strongly motivated to continue through to the end of the program.”

The Vitratox Kit

The Cleanse Kit is ingenious, and complete. You eat nothing for 7 days, but don’t feel hungry and your body gets all the nutrients that it needs.

No other detox programme is as effective in removing the pounds of deeply encrusted, toxic waste that each one of us carries around in our colons.

It is manufactured today by the Irons family exactly as formulated by the founder in 1953.

GreenLife tablets

The main items include Greenlife®, the dried extract of organically grown young shoots of green cereal grasses. The juice is extracted, chilled, and dried in a vacuum within seconds of extraction to retain maximum potency of vitamins, minerals, amino-acids and enzymes. It is stored in dark, nitrogen filled bottles.

Greenlife® provides everything your body needs and is very potent. It is pure and alive with active enzymes, and its nutrients are easily assimilated without needing any digestive effort.

 

The Detoxificant and Intestinal Cleanser

The Detoxificant and Intestinal Cleanser are the dynamic duo cleansing agents. The Detoxificant is derived from bentonite, a mineral-rich volcanic ash. The ash is refined by a unique process to extract the active detoxifying ingredient, montmorillonite, in a colloidal suspension that retains its innate negative charge. Montmorillonite is 1/500th the size of water molecules, and has a negative charge 200 times greater then its positive charge. Its miniscule size enables it to reach nooks and crannies that even water cannot penetrate, while its strong negative charge enables it to pick up 200 times its weight in toxic positive ions.

The Intestinal Cleanser is a finely ground special grade psyllium husk and seed. It is 100% fibrous bulk, that is not absorbed or digested but instead expands in the stomach to make you feel full, while it dredges your bowels as it passes through.

Other items are: Natural Source Vitamin C, derived from dehydrated juice of the Acerola Berry and Wild Spanish Orange, and Wheat Germ Oil and herbal laxatives made from the cascara sagrada bark.

 

History of the Programme

In 1935, V.E. Irons, a 40 year old former Yale Graduate developed a severe, crippling form of arthritis. Having been told that there was no cure, Irons went off to research his condition on his own, and discovered that the real cause of his chronic degenerative disease was lurking in his own clogged colon.

He cured his condition by fasting and cleansing within a year, and devoted the remainder of his long life to research, development, and teaching of fasting, internal cleansing and natural nutrition therapy.

Victor remained healthy and active throughout his long life, starting a second family at the age of 72 and fathering his last child at the age of 80. Sadly, he died from a car accident at the age of 98. His work has been promoted by people like Dr Bernard Jenson and Daniel Reid, who dedicated his latest book ‘The Tao of Detox’ to Irons, saying:

“During the course of his life, V.E.Irons perfected a system of self-detoxification based on fasting and colonic cleansing that this writer regards as one of the most important contributions to modern medicine and world health in the 20th century.”

Some quotes from Irons:

“Most people are aging because they are walking cesspools. They are literally rotting and decaying from the inside out.”

“Regardless of your financial standing, regardless of your past health history, regardless of your age or sex, you do have this hardened mucus in your colon, and you will be amazed by what comes out of you”

“We have had specimens preserved in alcohol from several inches to a few feet in length, while the
longest we have had was 27 feet, in one piece.
Sometimes it will come out as a pile weighing as much as 11 pounds and continuing to come out for several days to a week.”

 

Daily colonic hydrotherapy with the colema board

 

Once a day, throughout the 7-Day programme, a full colon flush will be performed. This involves using a colema board, and 5 gallons of warm water in a gravitational system to gently but thoroughly shift the toxic debris in the colon.

The matter that passes has built over a lifetime and you will be shocked by what comes out. Only this programme is effective at removing the deadly, toxic mucus and other long held rubbish that lives in the folds of the colon.

For a real, effective detox you must remove the accumulated rubbish and toxins from your colon, which has been built up over your lifetime. Unless you do this you will not assimilate nutrients properly, no matter how good your diet.
