The South Beach Detox: A CURE TO EATING DISORDERS?

“The South Beach Detox: “A cure for Anorexia?”

“A South Beach Yoga Studio develops a detox program that could hold the key to cure millions of young sufferers, mostly females, of Anorexia.”

While The South Beach Detox was not originally developed with curing Anorexia in mind, it most definitely has the potential to do so.

The South Beach Detox is essentially a cleansing program which main objective is to bring both body and mind to a state of perfect balance, ultimately promoting health, mental stability and vitality. Through

the combination of a flawless nutritional approach, a highly effective yoga

sequence, and a supportive awareness meditation program, the recipients of The

South Beach Detox experience a powerful personal transformation that melts away all conditioned

responses and unhealthy habits embedded in their old personality, leaving space

to create the New.

“The synergetic effects of the components of The South Beach Detoxnormal""> literally propel you to the next level of performance on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels!”, says Yoga Master, Fred Busch, creator of The South

Beach Detox, who enthusiastically adds, “It’s not just that you’re feeding your body

with the most perfect food on Earth, creating the perfect balance between

exercise and rest according to your body’s needs, or that you are aware of the

state of perfect bliss you access when you really listen and heed your body’s inner

intelligence, it’s that you’re doing it all together!yes""> And, that doing it all together is what transforms you into

this powerhouse of endless energy and equanimity.yes""> Anybody who has experienced the magical metamorphosis of The

South Detox bears witness that it partakes

of the principles of Alchemy!”

Because The South Beach Detox integrates all the elements necessary to “re-create” a person from scratch – i.e. at the cellular level, it is most suited for people suffering from conditions resulting from deeply-rooted complexes and mental impressions that

may already have crystallized themselves, not just on the mental but also the

physical level of their being, such as in the case of Anorexia.

Ranked #1 Superfood by renowned health authorities, the E3Live supplements, which form the foundation of The South Beach Detox,

represent the highest quality food we can bring to our body. This, of course, constitutes one of the

fundamental benefits of The South Beach Detox when it comes to Anorexia. Because in such extreme cases the body is so severely

undernourished, or even often starved, bringing it a perfect food like E3Live immediately restores its

vital balance. Appeased, the body

is now able to relax and allow the remainder of the miracle to start

unfolding. The combination of a

healthy exercise plan and a perfectly orchestrated “spiritual awakening” program

dissolves any trace of resistance, leading to a full surrender where the

recipients start to truly respond to their nutritional needs at the cellular

level. Soon, the appetite increases,

but because the food intake is intelligent and healthy, the weight gain takes

place at a very slow pace, which proves much more manageable psychologically in

the case of Anorexia. Finally, the

obsessive preoccupation with body weight, food intake, and excessive exercising

disappears and, free of fear, the sufferers of Anorexia are able to start

moving towards their natural body weight without a second thought.

Alessandrina Lerner, a recovering Anorexic, who participated in The South Beach Detox and was so enthralled by the results that she is now working with Fred Busch to disseminate the program says, “I

struggled with Anorexia for over 20 years, bouncing from Therapists to Recovery

Programs, AA Meetings to various Support Groups without success, then I

attended the Yoga Teacher’s training with Fred Busch.yes""> Through an intelligent and balanced approach to nutrition,

exercise/ rest, and a deep awareness of the processes involved in my unhealthy

eating habits, I soon found myself empowered to change all my habits and put an

end to the vicious cycle I had fallen victim to.yes""> As I watched in awe the personal transformation occurring

within my body and mind, soon emerged the butterfly that had been trapped in

its cocoon for so long. Thanks to

The South Beach Detox®, I am finally free of Anorexia, I am moving towards a

healthy body weight and I’ve never felt so good inside both my body and my mind.”

How ironic that what could possibly be the cure for Anorexia would be conceived in the heart of South Beach, renowned headquarters for the Modeling industry, a sector long plagued by the disease, and where it may most likely

continue to develop if industry standards don’t change.

Regardless of whether or not it is the miracle cure so many sufferers of Anorexia have been waiting for, it is without a doubt the most wholesome and effective detox program anyone could ever hope for!

Tips For A Healthy Lifestyle: 'Pollution May Promote Dementia'

Tips For A Healthy Lifestyle: 'Pollution May Promote Dementia'
Dr. Weil's Daily Tip, December 20, 2010

Pollution is known to negatively affect the central nervous system. A recent study shows that mental capacities may be reduced as a result.  More research needs to be conducted but this finding follows common sense which concludes that pollution is bad for us on many levels.  For more, read the short article from Dr. Weil below.  

In this recent study, a doubling of exposure to black carbon - a pollutant associated with engine exhaust - was associated with lower than expected scores on a screening test for dementia. The investigation included 680 men, whose average age was 71. The same Boston-area men also had lower composite scores on six other cognitive function tests. We know that particles from pollutants generated by traffic can cause oxidative stress and adversely affect the central nervous system. The differences in mental capacities seen in the study were similar to those normally seen in men nearly two years older. While the study doesn't prove that pollution caused the deficits seen, the researchers noted that particles found in diesel exhaust are small enough to pass through the air-blood barriers of the lung, enter circulation and travel to various body tissues, including the brain, where they can cause neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. The researchers said that their findings require confirmation by further research. The study was published online Dec. 20, 2010 in Environmental Health Perspectives.

The need to detox: The South Beach Detox launches a local detox program in London, UK

The South Beach Detox launches a local detox program in London, UK

Press Release, Friday, March 12, 2010

After a successful launch in the US, The South Beach Detox will be offering a local detox program in London, UK. 

The intention behind The South Beach Detox program is to help people implement significant positive changes in their lives by employing simple but effective tools.  Through the practice of intelligent eating, proper exercise, good rest, and

awareness, you will learn to to create an environment for your body and mind to experience true well-being.  This is 4-Day Detox goes far beyond 4 days.  The South Beach Detox is in fact a training ground to teach you certain skills that can easily be employed in your daily life and that will bring tremendous results in the way of healthy, balanced and harmonious living.  Detox programs do not have to be difficult but require a certain level of effort to be successful.  The South Beach Detox was specifically designed with that in mind, i.e. to maximize the benefits, and mitigate the challenging parts, to the degree possible.  In order to gain the most out of your detox, your body has to get the deep rest that it needs and this requires a specific internal and external environment.  The South Beach Detox provides this environment with a perfect balance between exercise and rest.  

Here are some general guidelines regarding detox programs to help you maximize your detox experience.

Detox programs are designed to give the body the conditions necessary for it to expel stored toxins and waste material throughout the whole body. This is accomplished through a two-fold approach consisting of reducing food intake and increasing

rest. This combination allows your body to use its vital energy in a direction other than the attempt to digest food which is the bodyʼs number one energy drain. When the body has access to this new found (not wasted) energy it uses it to clean itself.  That's exactly what the detox is.  You may find yourself feeling much more energized than usual during this time - especially after the second day, but donʼt drain yourself in Yoga practice during this time. Spend more time resting in childʼs pose during your sequence and go into relaxation pose sooner if you feel the need to.  Listen to your body, the primary intention during The South Beach Detox is to conserve energy so the body can use it for cleansing itself.  Throughout these four days please take as many naps as possible and avoid any unnecessary social engagements or demands on your time and attention. This special time of detox is just for YOU!  So enjoy our organic nutritious energy drinks, detox yoga sequence, the guided meditations specifically designed to let you go within and support your detox, and the time for yourself.  We make ourselves fully available to you during this period of change and transformation.  Living free of patterns and habits is very liberating, so enjoy taking this opportunity to give your body and mind a deep cleanse.

FAQs on The South Beach Detox

Can I work during this Detox?

Yes. The South Beach Detox is specifically designed to create the perfect detox environment while allowing you to continue to work as usual.  It is a non-invasive detox that will allow you to function normally in your daily life.  However, remember to rest more than usual and avoid all unnecessary social engagements.

What is a Detox and Why Does it Work?

Detox of the Body is initiated through the limitation of caloric intake which allows the body to focus on cleansing rather than digesting. Digestion is one of the biggest energy drains in our regular life.  The extra energy that is freed through the detox is used by the body to cleanse itself. This detox program is structured so that your body receives optimal nutrition in the context of caloric restriction.  This combination of deep nutrition and body cleansing is a potent tool for transformation.

The need to detox: 'A New Revolutionary Home-based Detox sets out to restore health, balance, and harmony amongst stressed populations'

'A New Revolutionary Home-based Detox sets out to restore health, balance, and harmony amongst stressed populations'

Press Release, 'The South Beach Detox'

Could it Really Be True: Only Four Days to a Healthier, Lighter, Happier You without Surgery, Harmful Drugs or Deprivation? 

The revolutionary South Beach Detox ®, a four-day program of Yoga, Meditation and nutrient-rich, all natural supplements, brings proven weight loss, peace of mind and flexibility to people of all ages and all walks of life. 

Miami, FL (November, 18, 2010) – With the plethora of dieting products and programs out there, it’s not surprising that most people would be distrustful of any program that claims to bring weight loss, improved health and peace of mind in four short days.  But that’s exactly what the revolutionary South Beach Detox® does. 

The South Beach Detox® is a ground-breaking program that combines the benefits of Yoga and Meditation with the amazing health benefits of E3Live® products, a combination of super digestive Enzymes, superior Probiotics and nutrient-rich Greens put together to support this highly innovative detox program.  And if that wasn’t enough, participants are guided one-on-one by locally renowned Yoga Master and owner of Miami Yogashala, Fred Busch, and Alessandrina Lerner, director of The South Beach Detox® programs at Miami Yogashala.

Busch and Lerner have been coaching individuals through The South Beach Detox® in the U.S., South America, and Europe for almost a year and are now preparing for the imminent launch of the virtual South Beach Detox®, a home-based version of the detox program which combines the same powerful elements but can be done in the comfort of the client’s home and for only half the price, making this high-end detox extremely attractive to all in a time of limited budgets!

Benefits of The South Beach Detox ® include increased energy, weight loss, strengthening of the immune system, regular bowel movements, mental clarity and, last but not least, personal transformation.  Users also report a better understanding of nutrition and thus a better relationship with food.  Roxanne, a business woman in Fort Lauderdale, reports, “The South Beach Detox ® program has changed the way I think about food…  The products used in the detox are fabulous, in terms of the way they make me feel, like how much stronger I feel when I take them.” 

E3Live® has been touted by health professionals and users alike.  Dr. Baxter Montgomery of the Houston Cardiac Association uses E3Live® in his disease reversal program specifically with cardiac disease and diabetes, and describes his own use of E3Live® in the following terms, “Within a few days of starting to drink E3Live® our team noticed a leap in our stamina during workouts, an incredible boost in mental clarity and focus and a decrease in appetite.”

The benefits of Yoga and Meditation have been proven across the world for thousands of years now and the benefits of E3Live® have been confirmed by medical and health experts across the country.  By combining both of these and having your own personal “coach” to help guide you, a brand new start to a healthier, more peaceful and happier you is just four days away!

HEALTHY LIVING: 'THE 10 GOLDEN RULES TO A FREE MIND'

'THE 10 GOLDEN RULES TO A FREE MIND'

Poetic Monthly Magazine, Enlightenment Column - April 2010

Freedom is a state of mind that is completely independent from your external circumstances. You can live in the most difficult circumstances and be free or live like a prisoner amidst your golden palace.  Whether you see the glass as half-empty or half-full is directly influenced by your past life experiences and conditioning. The only way to free yourself from the old patterns and suppressed fears and desires that are preventing you from reaching your highest potential in life and enjoying a long, healthy and happy life is to learn to know your mind and transcend it.  There are many ways to do this and all it takes is a little effort on your part.  It is well worth the benefits you will reap as a result.  For more, read below and visit www.letloverule.us.

Last month, we talked about Freedom and how getting back to the roots of who we truly are by honoring our inner child and living in the now can help us regain this freedom.   This month, I’d like to offer some more practical suggestions on how to access that realm of Infinite Freedom that lies at the core of each and everyone of us.  The “rules” to apply are so simple, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been using them all along.  They’ll help you decondition your mind and ultimately set you free from all the antics and idiosyncrasies that keep us entrapped in unhealthy behaviors... After all life and the way we experience it is all a matter of perspective, a question of mind... And so why not free ourselves from the confines of a limited mind and gain access to self knowledge and the freedom that comes with it?  So go inside, introspect a little, decondition a little so you can love and live a lot!

10 GOLDEN RULES TO A FREE MIND

Code 1  - ACCEPTANCE OF OTHERS 

Learn to accept other people for who they are without judging them in relation to your expectations.  Understand people’s personality as the result of their own conditioning.  

While their mental programming may vary from yours, the same process of conditioning has brought it into existence and while you may be aware of yours, they may not have shed light on theirs yet.  As you start accepting others, they in turn will start to accept you.  And remember to always laugh at yourself, your behavior, and your antics…

Code 2  - ACCEPTANCE OF YOURSELF

Accept yourself with all your qualities and present limitations.  In order to prevent unnecessary anguish, understand that all your actions are the result of your mental makeup and therefore do not dwell on your problems and shortfalls.  All the while, remain intent on cleansing your mind’s content of all inner conflicts which cause all perceived limitations, so you may continue to grow on the spiritual path and come closer to personal freedom.

Code 3  - DETACHMENT

Watch your habituated reactions to your environment and the people around you.  Understand how your attachment to the external can result in discontentment and reduce your need to find happiness in outer activities.  Do not suppress external desires for such suppression causes even more harm then acting them out, but become detached to the outcome of your actions even when it is not as desired.

Code 4  - IDENTIFICATION OF ONE’S OWN EGO – Mental & Emotional Attitude

Identify your greatest needs, attachments, desires, hang ups, etc… One of the best ways to discover your attachments is to trace the cause of your present anger or unhappiness to its source.  This will point out the mental and emotional attitude that causes disturbances.  Focus most intently on the things and people that cause you the most intense dislike as they will unveil, and eventually help you remove, your emotional hang ups.  Treat the whole world as your teacher… 

Code 5  - LIVE FULLY IN THE NOW

Try to live each present moment as fully as possible by giving your full attention to the now, whatever the task may be without thinking about the outcome or completion.  Forget about the past, i.e. do not worry about past “failures” and stop trying to replicate pleasurable experiences too.  Do not anticipate the future either.  You can make plans but see planning as part of the present.  Enjoy every action as you perform it and enjoy the fact that you exist and that your every action is an expression of your very existence. 

Code 6 – DISSOCIATE FROM THE EGO (body, mind, and actions)  

Do not fully identify with your actions, body, or mind, which only make up the Ego.  Realize that your consciousness, i.e. the witness that sees it all, is separate from your Ego and underlies everything in your life.  The more you purify body and mind, the more you will begin to see and identify with the “ever-present” Consciousness rather than with your mind and body.

Code 7  - - BE YOURSELF AND OPEN UP TO OTHERS

Open up and express your true feelings to others. Instead of putting up a wall that causes mental tension and alienation and creates a greater divide with others, be willing to open yourself and be vulnerable.  Do not try and hide your weaknesses for others will most likely feel a sense of falseness emanating from you.

Code 8  - SEE UNREALIZED POTENTIAL IN ALL

Remember (however difficult that may be) that everybody has the potential to reach higher levels of awareness, a potential that lies dormant, awaiting to be tapped.  One’s mental programming is causing a person’s current circumstances, but these can be changed and made more harmonious as soon as one starts understanding himself and his own mind.  

Code 9  - EMBRACE DIFFICULTIES AND ENEMIES

Do not avoid difficult situations and enemies but treat them as your greatest teachers.  Rather than continually associating with people and situations which tune in with your emotional programming and therefore reinforcing and satisfying your individual prejudices, let so-called controversial circumstances bring your emotional conflicts and prejudices to the surface and unveil your mental programming.  Once this is clearly identified, you will be able to deal with it and free yourself from it. 

Code 10  - RECOGNIZE MENTAL PROGRAMMING IN YOURSELF & OTHERS

Try to put yourself in other people’s shoes.  Instead of reacting blindly as programmed, try to see the other person’s point of view.  Remember that all reactions – yours and those of others – are purely automatic.  Try to change your response to all of life’s situations so that they may only cause the least possible emotional upsets.

PRESERVING MENTAL HEALTH FOR A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE

PRESERVING MENTAL HEALTH FOR A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE 

'Avoid Nightmares with Conscious Work'

New York Times, July 27, 2010 

Western Medicine and Therapists are beginning to realize the immense benefits of ancient yogic techniques and to integrate them in their own practice. Emerging techniques such as "Mastery Dreams" are directly derived from yoga practices such as 'Psychic Sleep' (Yoga Nidra) or "Detached Awareness of the Inner Space of Consciousness" (Chidakasha Dharana) and are used to resolve past trauma and unresolved subconscious material which continuously affect us on the conscious level through our fears, preventing us from enjoying a carefree life.  Unlike the dream state where awareness is lost, during these techniques the practitioner is able to directly access the level of the unconscious mind and through the practice of detachment and desensitization he/ she is able to neutralize all the mental impressions stored there.  Once the emotional content of memories, suppressed fears and desires is removed it stops the resulting ingrained negative behaviors and patterns from affecting the sufferer in his daily life.  For more, read below.

Nightmares resulting from traumatic events usually fade over time, as the haunting images and terrifying plots become less intense. The dreams may also naturally evolve into what some specialists call “mastery dreams,” in which the dreamer has found a way to ease the pain or horror — say, confronting a rapist or saving someone from a fire. But when that does not happen of its own accord, many therapists use behavioral interventions to reduce nightmares or guide the waking patient toward having a mastery dream — using the conscious mind to control the wild ways of the unconscious. Some of these techniques have been in use for years. In one treatment, known as lucid dreaming, patients are taught to become aware that they are dreaming while the dream is in progress. In another, called in vivo desensitization, they are exposed while awake to what may be haunting them in their sleep — for example, a live snake, caged and harmless — until the fear subsides. Both techniques have been researched extensively. More recently, therapists and other experts have been using a technique called dream incubation, first researched in the early 1990s by Deirdre Barrett, a psychologist at Harvard Medical School. And Hollywood has just produced its own spin on lucid dreaming and the idea of controlling dreams, with the release earlier this month of “Inception,” a thriller whose plot swirls through the darkest layers of the dream world. As Dr. Barrett wrote in an online review of “Inception,” for the International Association for the Study of Dreams, “I love the idea of millions of action film fans the world over leaving theaters asking each other if they’re ever had a dream in which they knew they were dreaming — or whipping out their smartphones and Googling to find out if you really can learn to influence dream content.” Using dream incubation for problem solving, Dr. Barrett, the author of “The Committee of Sleep,” which expanded on her initial research, asks patients to write down a problem as a brief phrase or sentence and place the note next to the bed. Then she tells them to review the problem for a few minutes before going to bed, and once in bed, visualize the problem as a concrete image, if possible.
