clean9 and nutrilean I have lost 28lb in 60days


Clean 9 Detox Review - Claire's Story

After hearing and reading many success stories about Forever's Clean 9, I decided to be barave and give it a go. As a distributor of Forever Living Products it is important to be able to give first hand experience of the product.
ALSO having been inactive due to hip dysplacia i had put on a lot of weight. I went into hospital for hip surgery May 19th 2014 and decided to use this as my start date. May as well do something useful during my recovery which was going to take at least 12 weeks.




Preparing For The Clean 9 Programme

 It is recommended that you reduce your intake of stimulants a couple of days before starting the detox to minimize any of the possible side effects of withdrawal but instead of the 3-4 cups of coffee I normally drink every day, I think I cut it to 2 cups on the day before I started...followed by 12 hours pre-op of water only

I also checked my BMI which you can do here http://www.440500018943.myforever.biz/nutrilean/calculators/bmi.html

My starting BMI was 30.11 - obese  

 

Starting Clean9 - The first two days

 The first 2 days of the Clean 9 program consist of drinking lots of aloe vera gel and taking both the garcinia and bee pollen supplements as well as drinking lots of water.

There is also 1 protein shake to drink at lunch time but no other eating.

Days 1 and 2

Day 1 went very smoothly.  I missed the act of physically eating and would be lying if I said I didn't feel a little hungry when it got to the evening but i declined the sandwich offered by the hospital.
Day 2 was a little more difficult but I was determined to follow the Clean 9 instructions exactly so I distracted myself with other things as much as I could. I had a slight headache on waking up .The headache lessened when I drank some water and applied Aloe Heat to my temples. Obviously I was still in hospital at this point with a catheter, I took full advantage of this and drank litres of water. Despite being in pain i noticed that my skin was already clearer and when the surgeon popped in to see me my healthy glow was commented upon.

Days 3 - 9

Day 3 could be described as "exciting" - as I got to taste the protein shake which was delicious! I went for the Chocolate shake, it is also available in Vanilla


 I've  had  protein shakes before as meal replacements during Crohns flare ups so I wasn't surprised how full I felt after drinking it. I also got to eat a 600 calorie meal for dinner which consisted of a fillet of chicken, vegetables and mashed potatoes. Luckily the hospital I stayed in has lovely food and catered for my dietary needs.
The following 6 days were busy with getting out of bed and attempting to walk with crutches. I left the hospital on day 5 and came home to a meal of lasagne cooked by my daughter...not the lowest fat meal i know but it was delicious. As my body was healing from surgery I was allowing myself the odd extra allowance as protein is great at promoting healing.
I got to day 9 and attempted the stairs with crutches to reach the bathroom scales. Balancing was hard and at first i thought that i had lost about 60lbs...BUT, NO, I was leaning on the crutches!! I gradually altered my position and let go of the crutches....I had lost 11lb. I would have jumped for joy if Icould have done.


Days 10 - present
Day 10 and 11 I kept to the diet (nutrilean follow on programme) but I did allow myself a fair few choccies given to me by my lovely visitors. I soon got on track again. Sometimes I played with the calories a little and had some of them at lunchtime and the rest in the evening. At day 60 i had lost 28lbs. I am so thrilled...it has taken me two months, I feel healthier and have more energy. I have had to buy clothes two sizes smaller.


So, how did I do? Well, I lost 28lbs bringing my BMI to a healthy 24.84  I still have half a stone I would like to lose. I am beginning to walk more now and hope that by having more exercise and eating healthily i will lose the remaining lbs and tone up too.

Eczema and Aloe Vera Products

There are two types of eczema, the type that comes from within which is known as endogenous and, more commonly, exogenous, a result of external factors such as allergy or irritants. Eczema from irritants is usually referred to as dermatitis.
Juvenile (childhood) eczema is known as 'atopic' eczema

Eczema is an inflammatory condition which can be:-

a) sudden onset, i.e acute with blister formation and weeping ('wet eczema')
                                                                or
b)chronic and dry with thickened patches and very itchy

50% of children with atopic eczema (linked also to asthma and hayfever) grow out of it but the remainder go on to develop the chronic form.

There is a long list of possible atopic dermatitis triggers.  They range from dust and allergy all the way to stress.  Doctors believe its cause can be many linked to an abnormal function of the immune system.  There has even been one research study linking eczema to an overgrowth of Candida.  People who have tried to reduce their candida in the digestive tract have significantly improved their symptoms.  Often a diet high in acidic foods especially sugars and flours can easily cause an overgrowth of candida without giving us specific symptoms.  Too many unhealthy food choices also cause an overload of toxins.  Too many toxins can also lower the immune system’s function.

I guess we all know several people who suffer from eczema. It can be more than sore, itchy and unsightly...it can also affect the way we feel about ourselves, our moods and our mental health if left untreated.





So, how can Aloe Vera help you or your friend or family member?


Aloe Vera a long list of incredible healing benefits.  It wouldn’t therefore be a surprise that the healing properties of pure aloe vera gel also have a positive effect on combating the symptoms of eczema, but not just a soothing, relieving and protecting ointment but also as an internal cleanser, building up the immune system so it can work more optimally preventing the outbreak of eczema.
Treating eczema with aloe vera juice and aloe vera gel is simple but its effectiveness depends greatly upon your commitment and the quality of the product.  Purchasing a product from a seller who can guarantee a high-quality product is extremely important for your healing success.  For that reason the manufacturing process plays an important part as many of the nutrients could get lost during harvesting.  So always purchase your aloe vera juice and gel from a reputable grower.

Nowadays, although medicines and drugs can be very effective in treating ailments, long-term use often involves side effects for patients. Consequently, more consumers and scientists are turning back to look at more traditional, natural therapies which have been long neglected. As a result, aloe vera is once again attracting attention since it can provide many benefits to our health and lifestyle. Hardly a week goes by without the benefits of aloe vera being highlighted in the 'health' pages of major national newspapers.

So, what do we at Forever Living recommend?

1. Avoid all soap products
2. Reduce the dryness of the skin by using Aloe moisturizing lotion, this in itself will reduce the itchiness.
3.Use an anti-inflammatory creme, i would recommend Aloe Propolis creme. As well as anti-inflammatory properties it also has an anti itch and antibiotic effect. Bee Propolis is a natural antibiotic found in Bee hives.
4. Treat yourself from within by drinking Aloe Vera Gel. This will help provide the newly forming skin cells at the base of the epidermis with the micro nutrients they need to develop into strong, healthy cells.

 There are a selection of naturally flavoured drinking gels available (above picture)
Aloe moisturising lotion and Aloe Propolis creme i have already mentioned but there are a couple of other real life savers in our house! Aloe Gelly and Aloe Lips.
Aloe Gelly is a soothing gel that soaks in easily and provides  deep penetrating relief. It is especially good straight from the fridge (tho it can be stored at room temp.) The relief from this product is amazing on all skin conditions. we have used it for eczema, chicken pox, sunburn, wind burn, grazes and burns...it really is a wonder product.
My daughter suffers from eczema on her lips and the Aloe Lips provides instant relief and re hydrates the lips. Aloe Lips can also be used in an emergency on bites, itchy skin, burns, in fact any skin irritations. It fits easily into a bag or pocket so you can always carry it with you.

If you suffer from either type of  eczema then taking Forever Bee Propolis can also help by providing  natural immune support. (it also helps maintain a healthy respiratory system.)
