Live Longer Life

One can cleanse the body of toxics, which may aid in prolonging life and healthier living. Water fasting and Kombucha Mushroom Tea are two techniques suggested here, that are to flush the body of poisons, absorbed and stored in the cells, from air pollution, pesticides, additives in food, household products and furnishings or workplace and urban pollution.

Everyone is looking for the magic pill for everything, like longer life to high consciousness to a ticket to heaven. If you want to live long you have to live right. If one jams to the stop light and then slams on the breaks at the last minute the breaks will not last long. One should probably want to eat, sleep, think, work and exercise right, and as suggested here, maybe cleanse the body of the toxics that are ingested in various forms from the environment.

Toxics are the chemical elements one absorbs into the body over the course of time, that are not natural to the body chemistry, and are not flushed, but become stored in the cells of muscle, fat and bone. This is called 'Sequestration' in biochemistry, where the body puts these toxics to lessen damage to the major organs, such as the liver and kidneys. This Sequestration may also be called 'Body Burden'.

Toxics are said to block up the body's cells preventing oxygen and nutrition from getting in and waste products from getting out. Toxics can cause cancer and serious disease of various sorts, impact the immune system and cause various illnesses, relative to the individual's particular biochemistry. I knew a woman who had to wear a breathing mask every time she left the house to drive someplace. She had worked in a completely sealed recirculated-air office building.

An idea and theory presented here is that by periodically purging or flushing these toxics from the body, one may live a longer and healthier life. Some methods for doing this include juice fasting, water flushing and fasting, fasting alone, herbs and vitamins, Enemas and Irrigation, Bentonite clay drawing out through the skin, raw food, dieting, exercise, sweat regimens, or French Clay as well as others. But the essential concept is to remove the toxics from the cellular makeup.

Religions often in some manner encourage fasting of the body or 'Temple of God', as a means to better health. Fish on Friday is a modified example. Other examples can be found: here.

Flushing is another means that may be employed which may or may not be combined with fasting. Flushing means to ingest a liquid such as water only or containing supposed cell cleaners. Fasting is to eat no food of any kind for a specific period of time. Flushing is to cleanse the body with liquids. One can flush alone or flush and fast at the same time. The object is to clean the body of toxics every so often, the period of course up to the individual depending on the method used.

What I am suggesting is the method I have used, the proof in the pudding. I am not a doctor and this article is based only on my own experience.The period of use for me has been in the seven to ten year range. And I can say that I have never been ill in all my nearly six decades except for flu, colds and sinus infection; knock, double and triple knock on wood. However whether due to fasting and flushing, eating proper foods, having a proper mental attitude, walking 12 miles a week, or just good genes, perhaps cannot be determined. But I do know I felt dirty before I cleansed and clean when I finished.

The methods I have used are Water Fasting or Master Cleanse and Kombucha Mushroom Tea. The Water Fast and flush is a fast, from three to nine days, drinking only purified water containing pure lemon juice, pure maple syrup and red pepper. The Kombucha Mushroom Tea is a mixture of purified water, black tea and sugar, of which I would drink 4 ounces a day for a year, while otherwise living a completely normal lifestyle.

Neither the water fasting or Kombucha Mushroom Tea as mentioned here should be confused with fad weight loss programs as may have once or are still popular.

Water Fasting

Fasting means here no food for as long as you can go up to nine days, where it may become dangerous after that. Also means no ingestion whatever including cigarettes, alcohol and drugs, or anything but the liquid flush. The formula for the water flush is 8 x 2 x 2 or 8 parts purified water, to 2 parts reconstituted lemon juice, to 2 parts pure organic maple syrup, and 1/10 teaspoon red pepper, which makes it a little hot. The water is suppose to flush out the system. The lemon juice and pepper are suppose to act like acid scrubbers, to break down the toxics in the cells. The Maple Syrup is sustaining energy.

One drinks as much of this concoction as you want. Feel hungry take a drink. The intestinal track will become empty probably after four days, which is an interesting feeling. One is hungry all the time, and tends to dwell on all the food one will eat when the ordeal is over. One may become a creator of recipes. One may eventually become a bit weak if one goes the whole 9 days. One may want to research this method thoroughly for other suggestions before trying this system, but for myself I only used what is mentioned. No pain no gain as they say. After the fast is discontinued must be careful how you begin eating again. Can't just dive in and eat a huge meal. Have to start slowly. Start with maybe soup broth, and slowly introduce more solid food.

Kombucha Mushroom Tea is a bit more complicated. But once you have the system in place it is only to drink a small glass of the tea once a day and brew a new batch every 2 to 3 weeks.

First you must obtain or buy a starter mushroom and a glass Tea Jar, with a spigot at the bottom is most convenient, and a wide opening at the top. Buy some black tea, plain tea bags is easiest, and plain white sugar, organic if possible. Bring to boil one gallon of purified water in a large (use only stainless steel) pan. Add 6 to 12 tea bags and 1 to one and a half cups of sugar and simmer 5 minutes at low heat minutes. Let cool and pour into glass Tea Jar. Use only non-porous glass. Add your mushroom by slipping it in so that it remains horizontal with both the liquid and mushroom at room temperature. Cover top with a cloth, paper towels or cheese cloth securing with a rubber band, and put in a cool dark place. Let ferment for from minimum 3 to 14 days. This is the formula and method I used, but there are also others.

I would drink 4 ounces a day although some recomend 6 to 8. The caffeine tea and sugar will give a rush, so the amount of tea and sugar can be adjusted to lower limits of 6 tea bags and 1 cup sugar. Decaffeinated and other types of tea other than black can be used I have read, but not tried it myself, although I am planing to try the defacinated method in the near future. Some people also use a little apple-cyder vinegar.

By experience one will learn when to make a new batch. To start, when you have used about half of your first batch make another to give it the approximately a week to ferment, so it is ready when you finish the old. Now what should have happened with you first batch is that a new mushroom should have formed on top of the original. To the new batch add two cups starter tea from your last batch. Then add to it the new mushroom that has formed on top of the old. The old mushrooms can be used more than once, saved for backup, given to friends or thrown away.

Ideally one wants the mushroom to float horizontally on the top of the liquid. This does not always happens and sometimes it doesn't float right being verticle and or halfway down in the jar. No matter, it doesn't seem to make that much difference.

Cleansing might be good for longer healthier living, but one would guess that other things are helpful as well: maybe clean food, exercise, the right amount of sleep, free mind, exuberience, care free constitution, love of life and all that entails, and so forth.

Have never heard of any medical problems resulting from the use of Mushroom Tea, except some cases of nausea and allergic responses and the warning to be careful of contamination. Pregnant and nursing women should perhaps take concern of caffeinated tea and because the tea also contains small amounts of alcohol. People taking medications should probably take precautions, "pre-existing medical conditions which might be adversely affected by changes in pH blood levels", by trying the tea in very small amounts to begin or doing ph testing. Doctors should be consulted so they know what is going on. However doubt that they could recommend or approve of it since it is outside of the purview of the medical establishment.
