Hello, I'm Kimberly King, and welcome to the mother's market radio show, a show dedicated to the Truth, Beauty and Goodness of the human condition.
On today's show, we welcome back, doctor Cali to discuss cleansing or detoxing our bodies, there are simple things we can do to make sure we live each day with energy and vitality than... In our healthy living segment, mother's market body care expert Lindsey, we'll talk about the wide range of beauty products available at mothers, so you can keep looking and feeling your best, plus later, we'll give you the inside scoop on what a mother's market and kitchens classic recipes and give you a way to save some money at mother's market, but first up, we're extremely pleased to welcome back one of the four most authorities when it comes to the health of your body. Lee Aaron Canale MD has been practicing medicine for almost 25 years, she's the founder and medical director of the Center for New Medicine, located in Irvine, California, and is the Medical Advisor for perfectly healthy products. When you wanna know about putting the right things in your body and taking care of yourself, you go to Dr. canale, and we welcome her to the mother's market radio show, Dr. Canale, how are you?
Great, it's great to be here, Kim. It's so great talking to you because you really put things in perspective and you scare us as moms, as we are raising our children, but for those of us in the audience that may not be familiar with your mission and your work, why... Why don't you fill in the audience a little bit about before we get on with today's show, well, our mission, because it's not just me, I am the medical director of center for new medicine, but there's Dr. and all the other doctors and practitioners that help me in our platform and our goal is to educate patients and empower them to live maximum, wonderful life, stand, feeling great-looking great, with a wonderful energy every day.
I love it, but today we're talking about cleansing and we're not talking about taking Lexi, Is it cleansing ourselves out, getting rid of those toxic chemicals in our bodies, and of course since bring us here... What better time for cleaning, right?
That's what they say, that's what all the magazines go, it's time to spring from the planning, but it's not something that we can put a time on, because toxins now permeate everything that we live in, in the air, the water, the food, the soil, every aspect think about cam, when you wake up, what do you put on your body every day from the time that you jump into the shower, so you use the water that's coming out of your shower... Well, now they say that water, that every drug that we are using... Is found in our water supply. Great, well, do you think our skin absorbs anything... Absolutely, that absorbs everything.
When you take something by mouth, you only absorb about 10% of what you're putting in your mouth, your skin absorbs about 30%, so you are absorbing the good things, hopefully that you're putting on your body, but all the bad things... So that's why it's very important that you have good water that you're drinking and bathing in, and how do you accomplish that patient? They're gonna say, Well, how do I do that?
Right, well, there's good, very inexpensive filters that you can buy for your kitchen, and then there's shower filters that you can buy that will detoxify the water that's coming out of your shower, but toxins are everywhere, there's thousands and thousands and thousands that have been introduced in the environment in the past 50 or 60 years, and they grow by the thousands every year, and these chemicals and toxins have not been tested on human, a very, very small percentage to know if they are dangerous or deleterious to our health of everyone. And so now I used to say that a multi-vitamin and oils were essential, but now what detoxification has to be a lifetime procedure for all of us. If we're going to live in this world, I always tell patients, let's give the example. How are our children being born... We are our children being born healthy today... No, no.
Did we hear of autism 25 years ago? No, now you hear about autism all the time, and now I have young couples coming in and say, Dr, came what do I need to do to have a baby?
Well, that's not something any mother asked 25 years ago, in 50 years ago, you just had a baby, but now they're very, very concerned about having a healthy baby because they see that children are being born with unbelievable complications, it might be Autism, it might be autism, something in the autism spectrum, and then it may be other diseases... Cancer is the number one cause of death in children, 1 to 15 years of age. After accidents, why is a child getting cancer, why aren't we asking this, why aren't we pondering this? And then more importantly, why aren't we doing something about it?
Absolutely, they just did a study in Scientific American, they took five in five races of babies, they took the umbilical cord, tested the blood, and in every single child, there were over 200 chemicals in the baby's umbilical cord.
Okay, we don't know what all these chemicals are doing because your biochemistry Cam is different than mine, so we don't know how the toxins are going to affect you for me, but so now we must embrace the concept of detoxification, and may be a better word, like you started out the show cleansing.
Cleansing a was a little nicer than detonators, like scary. What do I do? How do I do it? What am I gonna do?
And it's been a bad connotation, sometimes you don't have to go to go to detox, right.
But what exactly is cleansing... What is detox? What are you talking about and what... At what age point? Do you start this process?
Well, there is no age point, every child, my children detox, and I do tell them that they should be detoxing, they're not as compliant as I'd like them to be because they're teenagers and they think they know every... Everything, of course.
And of course they do, right? That's why they have that bumper sticker, higher teenager. Well, they know everything.
So anyway, but detoxification must be a part, and cleansing must be a part of everyone's life. Today, how do I go start about... Well, the first thing, cleansing of the mind, you heard me talk about that when we spoke about heart disease, and the mind is very, very powerful. So in stress... Where does that start? In the mind, right? And ends in the body, right?
So the effects of stress and in the body, so we must make sure that our mind and the thoughts that we're creating are beneficial to the rest of our body, well, and just to interject the self-discipline, which what starts with the mind, if to make that right choice to do the right thing, to cleanse, to eat right, to be healthy. It does start in the mind, and also sometimes people look at the glass half full versus half empty, if you have a negative attitude going into it, then your outcome is gonna be different.
That's right. And they've actually done lots and lots of studies on that, and I always tell my children, the happy thoughts make happy chemicals, you must start today and turn negative thoughts and do positive thoughts replace anger and hate and envy with... And jealousy with peace, love and joy in your life, because that's where you're gonna win, you're gonna be a winner at the beginning of the day and the end of the day, not that you're not gonna have slip-ups and not that someone's not gonna make very upset and angry, but you've got to turn that around and be happy and be joyful and be loving at the same time, that's the start of your cleans as you mention, 'cause that's where it starts in your head... Exactly, then the next thing is the water, the water you drink water is The solution to pollution, so... What kind of water are you drinking? Are you drinking tap water... If you're drinking tap water, you're drinking lots of chemicals and you're drinking lots of medications, there's no question about it, so a very inexpensive thing to do is go buy a bread or maker, let's say you don't have any money, you go buy a bread... I think a British like 20, 25 something very inexpensive, and that filters your water, there are different great different levels of water makers, you can get a whole house system, you can get another system for your sink, there's all different things out that are reasonable if you go on my website, I talk about that, the different avenues of water choices, and then would that be water purification... Basically, this water purification.
Okay, then I talked about the shower head in bathing, you're bathing in that toxic water, so you need a shower Filter, they're very inexpensive and they last... Some of them last six months, in the last a year depends on... But you need to get a shower filter. If you don't have a whole house filtration system, then after water and what are people drink water out a plastic water balls many times, but you can't use plastic water bottles because plastics produce a chemical called ballets, and tallies are known to gum up that wonderful cell membrane. And cause disease and what kind of diseases do they cause cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Not to mention hormonal problems, so we must embrace this and we must understand what is really going on in the environment, and unfortunately you have to read all different or hear someone like me that does this all the time and researches these things all the time because A I get many patients that have very difficult problems and I've got to figure it out, so I need to have a wealth of knowledge and understanding in order to decipher what's going on with them, and that's why I love your philosophy, because you really do... You have to go through all of that baggage, and we have baggage, I don't know how to be the one... Until the layers of the onion.
Okay, so after water, what are you eating? You have to buy organic fruits and vegetables, you've gotta buy organic meats and chickens, and the other protein sources meets whatever source it is, it needs to be chemical-free and like the eggs, the eggs need to be organic and the chickens need to be able to roam around as opposed to tied to chicken cages, so we need to eat our food that's all connected to nature and needs to be non-toxic, it needs to be organic, it needs to be healthy for us and stay away from all the processed foods.
Look at all the foods that we have that can do naturally detoxify Es like parsley, like cilantro, radishes is a great thing for the kidneys and the liver, all of our vegetables have some component of cleansing, let's say you don't wanna get into a huge detox program, which we'll talk about in a second, but we have all these vegetables, our diet has wonderful vegetables for us to detoxify, to help us detoxify, so we have to eat those seven to nine servings of vegetables and fruits a day.
Okay, so we'll be talking about the detoxification and what that means, what else we can put in our body and to take it out of our body when we come back with more. With Dr. Lee Aaron Kani.

And now, back to our interview with Dr. kaali, we are talking about spring cleaning, not household chores, but the cleaning and the cleaning out of our bodies to get more energy and vitality, and Dr. Canale were talking about detoxification, we've talked a little bit about the foods that we put into our bodies, but also Master cleansing. What is all of this?
Patients always went into, Okay, feel I really wanna detox. What do I do? Well, there's all different kinds of de-taxes, there's one old detox method that's very inexpensive, let's say people, you don't have any money, you wanna detox, you can do something called the Master Cleanse, and mothers has a great little booklet on the Master Cleanse. And what does it basically consist of water. good clean water. Remember, you don't wanna be trying to detox, you don't wanna put bad water back into the body, maple syrup, organic grade B maple syrup, lemons, organic lemons and cyan pepper. And the recipe, if you Google master cleanse or get the book at mothers, you can do that, you can do a three-day cleanse, five day seven or 10 day cleanse. I have many, many, many patients that have done that, sometimes I tell my patients, you have so many medical problems, if I give you vitamins and I give you nutrients and special nutrients to target certain problems in your body cam, those can't work as your body is so toxic, it's like, can you imagine not taking out the garbage in your kitchen for a week, you wouldn't be able to get in there, so you've got to a lot of times detox for me to even give you the nutrients that you need to do... And a master cleanse is a wonderful way. I've never had any patient, I've never had a problem, I'm never has a complication. If you feel more comfortable partnering with a physician or a practitioner or health practitioner to do what you can, because you might wanna know your health before you even start, but there's really no downside, it's easy and very inexpensive to do now, and that's not something you do all the time. You would do it maybe once a year or maybe? I have some patients do it once a month, different things, and I'm not a big person on fasting a lot, so it's not something that I have patients do all the time, but my patients really, really do like it and enjoy it and do not complain about it, and typically, when you start, it depends on probably the amount of problems that that patient has, but you mentioned something between three or seven days that really depends on that particular patient... Yes, and I think it depends on the desires and the intentions of the patient.
Okay, you want them to do something that they're gonna be able to do.
So I'll tell them, Okay, how many days are you gonna do? I ask them, I don't tell them how many days, I say how many days because that's what their comfort level is. Right. And so I want them to be successful, so I'll, Okay, how many days are you gonna do?
Oh, I think... I think Dr. Kai can do even like... Okay, seven, 'cause I had a patient come in this week and she goes, I'm doing the Master Cleanse, now I'm on day three. And you know, I didn't realize how much I forgot.
Dr.
Callie said there's no one that doesn't enjoy food, but think about it, you are... It's not like you're not gonna be eating forever, and I said, So how many days are you doing this... She goes, even I said, you can handle a week, I think you can handle seven days, you can do it.
So yeah, I can do it.
So, and I have children, I have my own children have done it, I have teenagers, they do it because they noticed they feel so much better, so I have every kind of age group, but that has done it, but I don't encourage and recommend it for children like five years old and younger people, teenagers, I have experienced and have successfully done it, now, what other kind of cleanses do I recommend... Well, I, in my office, I have produced a detox menu or a cleansing menu, and gives them different ideas, I have very, very sick patients that need serious detox and they must... If I have camp patients that have metastatic cancer, they're very toxic from the chemo and the prior life, that's where they are, how they got where they are is toxins made a contribution to it.
It's not the only thing. It's just one thing.
So I customize their detox, but the simple little thing that you can do is I have these little homeopathic drops, they're from Germany called Helge L, it's been around for 40 years, and it's three little bottles and you put it in your water every day, it takes maybe one minute to put the drops in your water and you drink it all day, and what that does is it activates the release of chemicals and your liver, your kidney, your bows and your limb clans.
Okay, so that's a simple thing you can do that takes literally maybe one minute to prepare maybe, then I have another... I use another herb called Berber, and Barbara's been known for years to cleanse the liver and kidney and lymphatics, so we can do that, I have sometimes patients do colon cleansing, we have a package that they can do colon cleansing, mothers has different colon cleansing programs.
You can do liver cleansing, we in our office have designed a liver gall bladder flush. That's very inexpensive to do. We give the patient the direction it takes from, let's say they start at 600 PM, they're done at 9 o'clock, I am the next morning, very, very successful. Your liver is the largest internal organ in your body, and it is the organ of detoxification, so you've got to clean out your liver, I believe, on a regular basis, usually what I recommend to my patients is every three months that they do a liver cleanse for lots of different reasons, because all the chemicals and all your digestion takes place and permeable through the liver, so it's a good idea to cleanse your liver, so we can do what it needs to do.
Now, there is something you may have heard of the infrared sauna, and for red SANA has been around for 20 plus 25 years.
It's a sauna that you get into, some small or big, depending on what you buy, it has a lifetime guarantee. It's a phenomenal way to detox, and what is infrared ampere is the healing wave of energy, you have bad rays like x-rays and gamma rays, those are not healthy, but infrared is what comes from the sun, and basically what it does, if you elevate your temperature in the infrared basically dances with the chemicals underneath your skin and pulls them out, and it's a phenomenal way to detox patients... Love the infrared sauna, I have one in my office. I give them on their first visit a complementary certificate to go do it because it is so beneficial and you feel great, and patients all get addicted... Let me give you an example.
I patient come in, this was a year and a half ago, 43 years old, she had already been to maybe 15 doctors, and she told me that when she goes down the groceries, she gets... Immediately starts getting sensitivity, eyes burning, throat, burning, closing, skin, Scratch is adding and I... So after getting her full history, which took about 30 minutes, I told her, I said, You have chemical oberlo.
I said, All you need to do is detox, I'll check your blood. But all you need to do is detox, I told her, Go do the son a one time.
Alright, I told her to read a book called detoxify, die, and she came back a year later and said, dirty, if you want me to sell those, I'll sell those for you, because I am perfectly well and fine, she saw me one time, one time, one visit.
Bought the sauna and hasn't seen me since there's no drugs or when you feel like that, and the more drugs on dogs... Don't forget it. Drugs or toxins.
Absolutely, so you're just adding on to the burden of your body, and I'm not saying that medication is not sometimes important because Kim, it is, it can be life-saving in an emergency, but for the maintenance of long-term chronic illnesses, we have to change some things that are going on in our body?
Drugs or interfere with something natural that's supposed to be taking place in our body, for example, let's say you take an an asset, well, you need asset in your stomach, it's supposed to be there, so if you take an at an asset, you're interfering with something natural and there's a consequence for that and you're gonna pay for it, so you need to think twice, whether you need that medication long-term, if you're on a medication long-term, you need to evaluate and see if there's some kind of alternative source of treatment for yourself, these clients are fascinating, you've talked about mother's and how they have different cleanses for each ailment, it's easy, there are people that would... They be there to help out, and if you have never done a cleanse before.
Yes, I believe mothers has trained clerks and assistants that can help patients and start the mountain something simple. They have all different things, they have detox teas, they have vitamins that are just designed for detox, so there's all kinds of little things and they can try one thing and see where they go, if they want something, it's more on a bigger scale then they need to consult with a practitioner, some kind of practitioner who truly understands detoxification, because as you know, your health can be overwhelming, finding out what solutions are best for you.
Okay, and I have one last question before we go, and that is about the coffee and the teas... Coffees, so everybody talks about Starbucks, this and that. Let's talk about that really quickly before we wrap... Well, I tell my patients, because everyone loves coffee... Right, yeah. And I tell them they can have one organic coffee a day, so organic coffee with not with fake sweet nurse, there's great sweeteners, Debian ALTA, so you can't do that. But those are all available everywhere now, and you need that now, a lot of the specialty coffee stores will offer organic milk and organic cream and stuff, so you can... But I allow them... And then the teas are fabulous. Tea is wonderful. There's great therapeutic medicinal values for T.
So TA is wonderful. I love green teas greets. I tell people, You should really be drinking green tea, don't drink cold, don't drink the sodas, there is no benefit, and that's a whole another talk we'll talk about later come, but stick to good water, if you're just love coffee, we deprive ourselves up so much it right okay, people, let have their one cup of organic coffee and T, I tell people, You can have to all day long, so... Very good advice.
Well, as always, it's so great talking to you and thanks so very much for your time, Dr. kaali, we look forward to having you on again.
