Few of us would disagree that our environment has become more polluted in the last 50 years. No matter how carefully we choose to live, we are surrounded by some level of toxic chemicals in our air, our food and in the clothes we wear.

In addition, the typical Western diet is high in unhealthy fats and sugars. And abundant in fruits and vegetables contaminated with pesticides and non-organic meats raised with antibiotics and hormones. deficient in fruits, vegetables and we tend to use alcohol, tobacco, and drugs (both illicit and medicinal). These toxic substances build up in our bodies and contribute to a burden on our livers whose job it is to detoxify our bodies of foreign substances, including excess amounts of hormones.

The MediClear program is designed to work in two ways:
1. decrease exposure to toxins and allergens and,
2. help your body cleanse.

MediClear is a rice based protein powder that contains added vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that aid in the detoxifcation process.

Rice protein is used instead of soy or whey protein because the majority of individuals are allergic to rice. The rice protein in MediClear aids in tissue repair and regeneration. And, the amino acids that make up rice protein also assist to detoxify and eliminate harmful substances in the body. Other beneficial amino acids, including glycine, N-acetylcysteine, taurine, and glutathione are added to assist in detoxification. Green tea extract provides potent antioxidant and liver
protecting activity, and MSM helps detoxification and joint function.

Lastly, Mediclear contains a full spectrum of highly absorbable vitamins and minerals to detoxify and regenerate tissues. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) and Medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) are added for energy And borage oil, a good source of the EFA gamma linolenic acid (GLA), has important antiinflammatory properties.

An elimination diet is often recommeneded in conjunction with the MediClear program. Because our fast paced lives lead us to fast food and food on the run, meals tend to be high in fat, sugar, and unhealthful food additives, and low in nutritional value.

The elimination diet is designed to decrease your toxic burden by providing foods that generally do not cause allergies or intolerances and
are free of preservatives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, and other toxic elements.

Over a 3 week period, the diet is designed in weekly increments to ease you into incorporating healthy dietary changes such as increased consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables and healthy fats, while decreasing or eliminating consumption of refined carbohydrates, red meats and highly allergenic foods such as corn, soy and milk.

Believe it or not, if your liver is over-burdened many health problems can arise, including poor digestion, allergies, inflammation, chronic fatigue, blood sugar abnormalities, hormone imbalances (a cause of such things as PMS), and
other chronic conditions.
