 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (New Int. Version)
Treating patients in my practice has given me an opportunity to learn much about the body and mind, and soul. Over the years it became apparent to me, that we often get caught up with responsibilities other than our own health. We want to provide and care for others, forgetting that we can not give our best if we are not our healthiest. An unhealthy body, mind, and spirit is like a water bucket that is never refilled. It will eventually run out of water. The bucket then is still there, yet it becomes useless and eventually will be discarded. Taking care of our body, mind, and spirit, or refilling our water bucket is simply a decision we make. And it begins with the 10-Day Detox. In my case the hardest part of changing my lifestyle was to come to the realization, that my bucket was getting more and more empty. It was such a gradual loss of energy and vitality, that I did not even notice it. I thought I was actually in pretty good shape. On a cold January day I had a patient coming to my office asking me, if I could help him to lose weight because he was feeling tired all the time, had headaches, and his digestion was giving him a hard time. After listening to him for only a few minutes, I felt like I was looking into a mirror. All the things he told me were uncomfortably familiar. I remembered a story about Gandhi. A mother in India had a son who's teeth were rotten because he ate to much sugar. She tried to talk to him but nothing worked. Seeing no other solution, she took her son on a three day journey to see Gandhi, who she was told, could help her. Once she was there, she explained Gandhi the problem. He looked at her and told her to come back in three weeks. Protesting that it took three days to come here she reluctantly accepted and went back home. After three weeks she made another three day journey to see Gandhi again. Gandhi looked at her son and simply said: “Stop eating sugar”. Then he told her to go home. Not understanding, the mother asked Gandhi why she had to come back after three weeks if all he did was tell her son to stop eating sugar. Gandhi replied “I had to first stop eating sugar myself”. Thinking for a moment, I told him to come back in six months. I decided to get to work and find a way to help this guy. First of course, I had to change my own life style. I was no longer listening to my own reasons and excuses why not to follow through. So I got started with the 10-Day Detox. A five mile journey begins with the first step. Many successful people have accomplished great things because they never have heard what could not be done. I learned, that changing my lifestyle is like a training a muscle. You continuously have to challenge and train it to get stronger. The soreness and aches of the first few days will swiftly turn into strength and motivation. The sense of accomplishment is indescribable!!! In only 10-Days I was able to get my body into gear and accomplished over the course of the next 6 months a 10 inch reduction on my waist, a change in body fat from 18% to 11%, and an improvement in performance that is just simply unbelievable. Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, an it shall be opened unto you.
- Matthew 7:7
Numerous times I have heard people tell me “I will work out with you as soon as I get in better shape...” Well, the road called sometimes leads to a town called nowhere. Are you waiting for the tide to turn? Are you waiting for things to come your way? Or are you going to get out there and claim what you want, so you don't get stuck with what is left over? Remember, if it's to be it's up to me!
YOU CAN DO IT! YOU DESERVE IT!
 My first thought was that I had discovered a new weight loss product, because most people lost an average of up to 10 lbs. in the ten day period without fasting or starving. In fact, most people don't feel uncomfortable or chained to the bathroom at all. What became clear was that the loss of body fat was a result of the purging of toxins that were stored inside those fat cells. Once the toxins were removed, the fat cells diminished as well because the body did not need them anymore. Imagine your body as your home. We constantly produce waste as part of normal daily life. We put it in the waste container and store it until the dump truck comes once per week to remove it. Our bodies produce waste or toxins that are stored in fat cells. Doesn't it make sense that every once in a while we should remove them from the storage? What would happen if the dump truck never came?
When the waste management was on strike in New York City a few years back the streets were filled with garbage. Soon rats appeared and made the life in the city almost intolerable. All attempts to manage the rats only made it clear, that with garbage comes disease and problems. We can try to combat the disease or problems but until we remove the garbage they will keep coming. Many human ailments are related to body toxicity because often we have not removed the garbage in time. That is great news because it allows for improvement almost instantly. Remove the garbage! Detoxify your body!
Once I recognized the potential of the 10-Day Detox I knew that it was my moral and professional obligation to share my discovery with as many people as I can. The deepest and darkest places in hell are reserved for those who knew,
and stood silent.
- Voltaire
Statistically speaking a reduction in belly fat will reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. Statistically speaking a loss of 7% body weight, (or 10 lbs. For a 140 lbs. Woman) will reduce the risk of diabetes by 60%. You know that life is in constant motion. We never stand still. You either are moving towards or away from health. Will you lead your family towards or away from a healthier future? You have a choice to make. The butterfly effect, described by Edward Lorenz in 1963 in a paper to the New York Academy of Sciences stated, that a butterfly can flap its wings on one side of the world and set molecules in motion...which set other molecules of air in motion. This can eventually cause a hurricane on the other side of the world. This is called “sensitive dependence upon initial conditions – The butterfly effect.” Your choices today, no matter how small, will have an effect on the whole world. When I completed my 10-Day Detox it was the first time I could actually complete a detoxification protocol without cheating or feeling awful. It is not that I had not tried before. Over the past three years I have tried various detoxification programs that took up to 21 days to complete. Not once could I really complete the program because of discomfort, hunger, diarrhea, or simply because it did not seem to ever end. To me completing the detox was very important because I was able to accomplish the task. I felt good about my self and my body. My direction had been chosen and I was in motion. Nothing could stop me from continuing my quest to a healthier, more fulfilled future. One of my personal heroes, Dr. Patrick Gentempo taught me the concept of BE-DO-HAVE. First you have to BE the person you ought to be, so you can DO the things you set out to do, so you can HAVE what you are looking to get. To BE the person you need to be comes always first. To BE your best you have to move and make decisions that get you closer to your goal. You might find people that know more than I do, and you might find people that are smarter than me. But you will never find somebody that cares more about you and your situation as I do. It is my purpose to inspire and motivate you to go and find your healthiest, happiest, most fulfilled you there is. I can however only lead the horse to the water. I can't make him do the back stroke. You will make the choice that is right for you. 
Their destiny is destruction, their God is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. - Philippians 3:19 (New Intern. Version)
When I discovered the 10-Day Detox I was excited because after more than 18 months of research I finally had the right formula. Imagine a tool that can lower the bar to a new life of better health and happiness. Imagine, that taking the first steps towards the person you could be just got easier. Imagine! Those, who want to be helped and are willing to take the step towards a healthier life will inspire and motivate others to follow them into a future that can better than ending up on a respirator or a feeding tube. Remember that today two out of every three people die of cancer. That is statistically speaking you most likely don't get to enjoy your retirement. The number one cause of death is heart disease, and diabetes (which can be controlled in 98% with diet and exercise) is the leading cause of blindness and amputations. I am not telling you that I have found a cure for cancer. Most of these ailments are lifestyle driven or influenced. You have a choice to make. Based on your choices your chance of becoming a statistic might change either for the better, or worse.
