One of my favorite verses in all of scripture is 1 John 1:9; “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and CLEANSE us from all unrighteousness.  What an awesome promise.  Not only does He rescue us from our selves and our sin, but then He continues a work in us to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.

Our physical bodies need cleansing as well.  I believe in our fast-paced culture, we have a tendency to neglect the physical body and it takes a toll on us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well.  We can not neglect one component of our health and expect it will not impact the others.

With money being the drive in our modern food systems, we now have an extreme loss of nutrition and even some toxic chemicals entering our body more than ever before.  We have to have a way to break the chemical bonds with these substances in our body so our bodies can function as they were designed to by our Creator.

I recently attended a 3 day intensive class including Chemistry of Essential Oils and how they work in our bodies.  More than ever I was convinced I needed to Detox my body by doing a cleanse.  I’m going to do my own experiment to see if I notice any changes in my health and post them here over the next 5 days.

My wife and I are currently distributors for Young Living Essential Oils so I’m using the YL 5 Day Nutritive Cleanse.  You can get more info on ordering or email us at:

After Day 1

Yesterday was day 1 for my cleanse.  I’ll be honest with you.  I normally consume over 3000 Calories a day so I was a little hungry.  Not as hungry as I expected to be though.  I did look through the meal plan and buy every possible snack I could find just in case my hunger increases.  I would recommend going to the store and buying the snacks before you start the cleanse.  It was quite tempting walking past the fried chicken in the deli. 🙂   I generally had plenty of energy but also a slight headache at the end of the day.  I was thankful to have my blueberry snack before bed.  I slept incredibly well last night even in spite of an in the middle of the night interruption of a bed-wetting.  Ready to see what today brings!
