Whole Body & Cell Rejuvenation!
The Vit-Ra-Tox Seven Day Cleansing program is an integrated system of self-purification that combines the benefits of fasting, a fibrous intestinal cleanser, nutritional supplements and daily colon irrigation. It is a complete program of blood and tissue detoxification that rejuvenates each and every organ, gland, tissue and cell in the body.
This Program allows the body to put up the “Do Not Disturb” sign for seven days. All of the organs of the body get a chance to stop and rest. When we are eating, our organs are constantly working-digesting, assimilating and eliminating. But when we stop eating, all of this energy goes into a serious house cleaning. Old accumulations of toxins are eliminated from the system and flushed out of the body. This is why daily colonics or enemas during the cleanse are very important…the toxins MUST be removed from the body on a daily basis, or they are re-absorbed into the active bloodstream, which may result in a feeling of sluggishness, nausea, etc. Please read carefully the directions enclosed in the Kit for the 7-Day Cleanse. Read them a couple of times until you understand the required steps. Then you are ready to begin.
If you have done little or no fasting in your life…We recommend that you start out slowly. Do a 24-hour cleanse first. Then in a couple of weeks try a 3-day cleanse. If you feel comfortable with the 3 days, try for 5, or 7 days, or repeat the 3-day cleanse until you feel comfortable with proceeding for a longer duration.
For Seven Days you eat nothing at all. It may sound severe, but you are going on a fast with cleansing and nourishing products that help detoxify and supplement the body. Make no mistake—this is not an herb based program. These products may be used on a daily basis as well as on the Seven Day Cleansing Program. They are products of the highest quality! Great care has been taken to preserve the live enzymes in the Greenlife (also known as Springreen), Wheat Germ and Flaxseed Oil capsules and the Whole Beet Plant Juice Tablets. There are no “high potency” supplements, because we believe that Nature provides the best quality combined with all its synergists. There are NO binders or fillers contained in these natural Supplements. Only Natural sweeteners such as blackstrap molasses and honey are used in our Natural Source Vitamin C.
You can be assured of supplementing with some of the best products nature has to offer and you will also be amazed at the results of this program.
Note: Consult a Naturopathic Doctor or Health Professional for diabetic, tubercular, cancer and extreme degenerative diseases, or if you have serious colon or eliminative problems. These conditions must have guidance and assistance during any fasting or cleansing program. All cases are not alike in their response to the detoxification. Results may vary considerably according to individual constitutions. Substitutions with other products may also vary the results of this program.
Bentonite Detoxificant - A purified colloidal Bentonite (clay suspended in water). The Detoxificant is very useful in adsorbing toxic substances. It is negatively charged which allows it to attract positively charged particles in the alimentary canal. In fact, it can adsorb 40 times its own weight in toxic substances. It acts like a sponge, mopping up undesirable debris. The clay is also very soothing to an irritated bowel.
Intestinal Cleanser – A fine powder of a special grade of Psyllium which contains both the seed and husk. This material holds moisture well and attaches itself to the mucous lining, making it soft and loose so it will move away from the bowel wall. This is a very important ingredient to the success of the cleanse.
GreenLife – (Also known as Springreen) A very potent biogenic plant substance (organically grown cereal grasses-barley, oats, rye and wheat) which provides rich sources of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes which are quickly assimilated and help in the cleansing process by building the blood. The grasses are known to sustain life, promote health and facilitate the healing process. This is the finest supplement of its kind. (Persons with wheat allergies should not have any problem with this product since it is derived from the wheat grass state, not the grain state which contains the gluten.
Wheat Germ Oil - These capsules contain 73% Wheat Germ Oil Natural (Vitamin E source) and 27% Flaxseed Oil (unsaturated fatty acids-linoleic and linolenic-Omega 6′s and 3′s). Vitamin E functions as an antioxidant which stabilizes cell membranes and protects cells and tissues important for muscles, eyes, liver, skin and nerves. It also protects red blood cells from damage.* Flaxseed Oil improves health by providing our bodies with adequate amounts of valuable Omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed is one of the richest sources for the Omega-3 fatty acids and also contains twice as much of the essential nutrients as do fish oils.
Natural Source Vitamin C – The sources of this Vitamin C supplement are from the dehydrated juice of the Acerola Berry (cherry) and Wild Spanish Orange (two natural, high potency sources of Vitamin C) which also supply their natural synergistic factors. No ascorbic acid (a synthetic form of Vitamin C) is used. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is easily absorbed and nutritionally supports the body as an antioxidant and prevents other antioxidant vitamins such as A and E from being oxidized in the body.*
OPTIONAL – Whole Beet Plant Juice Tablets – This is an organically grown, concentrated, whole beet juice product in tablet form. Beets are nutritionally potent. They contain iron as well as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur and iodine, in addition to many vitamins and trace minerals.
A Little More About the Founder…
Victor Earl Irons was a nationally renowned and respected nutritionist and health freedom fighter. He was born on January 23, 1895 in West Virginia, USA. In 1919 he graduated from Yale University. In his younger years he sold aluminum pots and pans, ate refined flour, sugar, and had a weakness for chocolate bars.
At age 40, he was diagnosed with severe ankylosing spondylitis (also known as Marie Struempell Disease), an arthritic condition where calcium deposits into spurs in exactly the same relative position on every vertebra of the spine. They grow at the same rate, spreading the vertebrae apart and bending the spine, so that over time the patient begins to stoop imperceptibly. Within 20 years, the body is doubled over so that the head is below the knee. Six different medical doctors in Boston, Massachusetts told him that there was no cure. He read a little about “natural methods”, and turned to cleansing, fasting, natural foods, and NO DRUGS! Within two months he had no more pain from the displacement of his vertebrae. Within 14 months there were practically no spurs, and the clinical signs of this “incurable disease” were erased – by natural methods.
With this experience, his theory of life and disease changed, and became a position opposite to that of the entire orthodox thinking in the U.S. His theory became…
“THERE IS ONLY ONE SUPREME POWER, THERE IS ONLY ONE CAUSE OF DISEASE, THERE IS ONLY ONE DISEASE, AND THEREFORE, THERE IS ONLY ONE TREATMENT FOR ALL DISEASE.”
This theory is based on principles that scientists have proven, and he termed, Natural Law. Natural Law states that the bloodstream will keep the body in perfect health if it is properly nourished and is able to remove all waste products from the body.
For twelve years, Victor Irons traveled throughout the country lecturing and teaching his principles of health to Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, Optimist Clubs, Lodges, Church organizations, and PTA groups. However, he felt that too little was being accomplished, as his listeners found no way of following through on the knowledge gained. To be effective, he decided to produce and distribute products that would help people achieve proper nutrition and proper elimination, to live in harmony with Natural Law.
Frustrated with the lack of natural ingredients in the dietary supplements of the time, Irons worked with Dr. Royal Lee of Standard Process and Harold Pratt to develop a completely natural, whole food supplement that contained every nutrient necessary for mammals to live. He named this complete food GreenLife®, and began producing it in 1953. GreenLife® was the first dietary supplement of its kind, produced from juice of the cereal grasses: barley, oats, rye and wheat. Many products have tried to imitate, but none have equaled the quality, nutritional value, and “life” of GreenLife®.
Victor Irons also pioneered the use of psyllium and bentonite to clean out the digestive tract and promote bowel health. He emphasized that even the best food supplements were ineffective unless the body could absorb them. By educating such influential authors as Bernard Jensen (Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management) and Daniel Reid (The Tao of Sex, Health, and Longevity), his teachings reached far and wide.
THE HEALTH FREEDOM FIGHTER
In 1956, Victor Irons was charged with 6 misdemeanor counts of selling “Misbranded articles of Drug.” One “Drug” article was GreenLife®, a dietary supplement containing a mixture of dehydrated juice of barley, oats, rye, and wheat grass, alfalfa, bone meal, brewer´s yeast, fish liver oils, and kelp. On the 22nd of October, after a lengthy and costly trial, Irons received “…a verdict of guilty of the offense of Violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, (Title 21 U.S.C. 331 and 333).”
In a plea bargaining session prior to sentencing, the prosecutor and judge Francis J.W. Ford promised Irons he would not go to prison or pay any fine if he would just plead guilty and promise never again to claim that there was a need in human nutrition for the wholesome vitamins, minerals, fiber, and herbs he was selling, for which FDA said no need had ever been established. FDA and government prosecutors also insisted he agree to never again claim or imply that “…nearly everyone in this country is suffering from malnutrition or in danger of such suffering because of demineralization and depletion of soils and the refining and processing of foods…” Irons refused this plea bargain, stating that, “He would see them all in Hell before he signed his name to a bunch of lies and falsehoods.” He was fined $6,000 and sentenced to 6 years, one for each count. He paid the fine and served 6 months at the federal penitentiary at Danbury, Connecticut rather than recant his teachings.
Irons became a national health hero to thousands of health food store owners and enthusiasts who were equally “guilty” of selling therapeutic foods that FDA said were legally “drugs”. The Food and Drug Law was clear. It defined a “drug” as “…any article intended for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in man.” That, of course, is exactly the “intended” use of health foods.
After his release from prison, Irons helped found the National Health Federation, and served on its Board of Governors for more than 20 years. He gave thousands of dollars and hours of service to NHF to help make it the most powerful health freedom lobby organization in America. NHF was able to get the Proxmire Vitamin Bill introduced and unanimously enacted by Congress in 1976. It prohibited FDA from banning vitamins and minerals as drugs based on their potency.
Victor began a second family at the age of 72 and fathered his last child at the age of 80 – proof of his vitality and vigor. He passed away in 1993 at the age of 98 years old from complications of a car accident.
Thousands of people have benefited from his teachings of eating whole natural foods, fasting, and colon cleansing. He dared to read, think, speak, write and teach about health in a simple way that drew thousands to his lectures. His students, wife, family and friends loved him. V.E. Irons, Inc. continues to be a family owned and operated company that preserves his integrity, principles, and reputation in every product we have manufactured and distributed for over 50 years.
