Lose Weight.  Not a strict regimen with a drill sergeant barking imperatives, but rather a program that allows you to set the pace.  If you want to cheat, that's your choice, but our environment makes it less tempting to do so.  more about losing weight

Moderate Cleanse     Starts with lessening addictive items from diet, such as; tobacco, pot, coffee, chocolate, sweets, pastries. However, not all is spartan, as we replace white sugar items with local fruit, and white flour & starchy items with more nutritious fare.

Detox / Lessening Yearnings     More intense than 'moderate cleanse,' this program is geared toward banishing, or at least lessening addictions. A big factor is the environment at our Cleansing Center.  Whereas you may have tried at times to de-tox on your home turf, you probably had several ways to cheat, because you're regular environment was not removed enough from the things you were addicted to, whether it be food, tobacco, caffeine, pot, sex, drugs, sweets, or staring at a computer/TV screen, or a combination thereof."

Cleansing Fast    Not a strict water-only fast, but rather a very effective cleansing regimen that allows moderate amounts of fruit and vege juices. Whereas a water-only fast might be effective for a prison demonstration, it feels like starving, and can release too many toxins too quickly.  All those toxins swimming around inside of you are harmful. That's why we recommend a cleansing fast that is more effective and safe - for releasing toxins and flushing them out of your body.  Enemas and colon cleansing are optional components.
