Q: What are electrolytes?
A: Electrolytes are important because they are what your cells (especially nerve, heart, muscle) use to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and to carry electrical impulses (nerve impulses, muscle contractions) across themselves and to other cell. Your kidneys work to keep the electrolyte concentrations in your blood constant despite changes in your body. For example, when you exercise heavily, you lose electrolytes in your sweat, particularly sodium and potassium. These electrolytes must be replaced to keep the electrolyte concentrations of your body fluids constant. 		 
     
     
  Q: Can children take Arise & Shine products and do the cleanse?
A: Our products are generally safe for all however, all of our formulations are based on adults and we do not make recommendations for children. 		 
     
     
  Q: Can I eat nuts, seeds or grains on the cleanse?
A: Remember that these will slow the cleanse process but if you want them, it is best to pre-soak or sprout them. 		 
     
   
Q: Should I still take my medication and daily supplements while I cleanse?
A: Your health care practitioner should monitor medication. You may take your normal daily supplements, however, they may not be needed as you will be getting the nutrition that you need for the period of time that you cleanse from the cleanse products. If you feel that you need a nutritional boost, you may take Great Greens or POWER Up!. If you decide to take your daily supplement, it is best to avoid supplements that are protein based, that contain salt, soy, dairy or foods listed on the acid-forming foods list. It is also best to avoid probiotics that contain large amounts of lactobacillus, which is acid-forming and might interfere with Flora Grow. 		 
     
   
Q: What about working out while on the Cleanse 28 Program?
A: You can work out lightly during your cleanse. By the second week one should go to non-aerobic forms of exercise like light yoga, Tai Chi, walking or gentle swimming. Jogging, rebounding or any activity that creates a bouncing of the intestine is not recommended. Remember that when you exercise vigorously you are using electrolyte minerals that you may need for cleansing. In general cleansing is a good time to rest and tune into your body and spirit in other ways. When you complete your cleanse you can return to your normal workout with renewed vitality. 		 
     
     
  Q: What can I use as a sweetener?
A: One of the benefits of cleansing that many people report is a decrease in their cravings for sweets. If you do want to sweeten something, organic Stevia, honey, molasses and maple syrup are all good. 		 
     
     
  Q: Are Sea Salt and Braggs OK?
A: No. Sea salt is not organic and Braggs, a Soy Sauce Alternative made from several amino acids, is too acid forming during a cleanse. 		 
     
     
  Q: What can I use as a salt substitute?
A: A variety of sea vegetables provide a good salty flavor. Dulse and Kelp are the usual favorites. Spike (a seasoning salt alternative) with out salt is also a good choice.   You might also try celery seed. 		 
     
     
  Q: What spices can I use?
A: You can use all spices except black pepper, salt and salt products. 		 
     
     
  Q: What snacks can I have?
A: Raw fruits and vegetables are the best choices. 		 
     
     
  Q: When can I snack?
A: You can eat 45 to 60 minutes before or after a shake (except on the master phase) 		 
     
     
  Q: Can I do only a week of pre-cleanse and then a week of the Master Phase?
A: This is not recommended because your body will not be properly prepared for the Master Phase and after all why put out the effort to cleanse unless you are going to get the most out of it (no pun intended) that you possibly can! 		 
     
   
Q: I'm concerned about losing too much weight on The Cleanse.
A: Most people find that their weight stabilizes quite nicely after a cleanse. During your cleanse you can choose a phase that includes food and supplement your diet with some good fats from avocados, flax oil or olive oil. Also Great Greensand L-glutamine may give you extra nutritional help. 		 
     
   

Q: Can I take the liver, kidney or parasite products while on the Cleanse 28 Program?
A: We recommend completing Cleanse 28 before the use of liver or parasite products. After you have done Cleanse 28, take a 6-8 week break before you begin using the liver or parasite products. For optimal results while taking the liver or parasite products, we suggest you follow the Mild Phase of Cleanse 28. We do not recommend using the kidney products at the same time as a cleanse. Mainly because it becomes too many supplements to take at once.
