Some have suggested that the Intestinal Cleanse might not be wise during pregnancy because the body releases toxins and other nasties. Is this a concern?
A. The Organic psyllium husks are not food. They are high fiber husks that gently scrub debris from the intestinal walls and help lubricate the bowels. This seems like it would be a real benefit to both the mother and the baby. When on the cleanse, any toxins that are released into the blood stream are headed to the great outdoors. This is because the intestinal tract had its “doors” opened by the psyllium husks so that the toxins can escape. Prior to the “doors” being opened, the blood stream was carrying a high concentration of toxins. The other half of the story is that prior to cleansing, nutrients could not enter the blood stream efficiently. But when the “doors” are opened, nutrients are now able to enter the bloodstream and are available to both mother and child. God made our bodies. If the intestinal tract is not functioning, then we are dying in our own pollution. However, it we cleanse the intestinal tract, the body will naturally eliminate the toxins and absorb nutrients. Th
