Oh that mythical fountain of youth! We've longed to find it since the sixteenth century when Juan Ponce de Leon sought the mysterious waters that would cure aging.

Though we joke about that magical fountain, the truth is that the "waters of youth" can actually be viewed as the fluids within our own bodies that carry nutrients to our cells, feeding them and flushing away cellular waste. If those fluids contain even small amounts of toxins, cells cannot excrete waste or take in nutrients efficiently.

In 1912 French physician and biologist Dr. Alex Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute won a Nobel Prize in medicine for his work on the immortality of the cell. Dr. Carrel experimented with various tissues and organs, keeping them alive in laboratory experiments with pure nutrients and continuously cleansing away wastes. His research indicated that aging takes place because minute amounts of toxic substances build up in the blood and other fluids throughout the body. This led Dr. Carrel to conclude: "The cell is immortal. It is merely the fluids in which it floats that degenerates." Renew this fluid at proper intervals,and give the cells nourishment upon which to feed, and so far as we know, the pulsation of life may go on forever."

Wrinkled sagging skin begins with the plasma membrane. This membrane is where most damage occurs. As this membrane ages, it stiffens and loses its fluidity. When it hardens, water can't pass through the cell wall with nutrients or remove waste properly. Waste products build up and cause inflammation, which is one of the primary contributing factors in aging, along with sun damage, stress, and sleep disturbances.

Would you like to stay young and healthy for as long as possible? Cleanse the body and the cells have the best chance to remain supple and young. Many people believe that there is no way to halt the inevitable aging process-at least not without expensive drugs, surgery, or high-tech interventions. But what most people don't realize is that they do have the power to look younger and feel healthier-beginning with a simple cleanse program.

A diet rich in raw foods, vegetable juices, pure water, whole grains, and lean protein can begin to gently cleanse the body and protect it from inflammation and free radical damage that causes wrinkles and other symptoms of aging. Add to a healthy, whole foods diet periodic cleanses, and you could literally watch the years roll off your face.

The four-step plan of the "Wrinkle Cleanse" is designed to flush toxins from the body, carrying away toxins and poisons. It outlines a detailed, easy-to-follow program to help you rejuvenate your cells and transform your health:

STEP 1: The Quick Cleanses. These begin with an All-Day Vegetable Juice Fast or a Two Day Raw-Food Rejuvenator, both of which will enliven the body and help repair damaged cells virtually overnight. These are an excellent "kick-start" to the Wrinkle Cleanse Program or a "quick-fix" to prepare for a special weekend or event.

STEP 2: The 14-Day Day Cleanse Diet. This portion of the program introduces a diet that includes raw vegetables, fruit, sprouts, vegetable juices, pure water (preferably alkaline water), whole grains, legumes, leans proteins, and other nutrient-rich foods. It eliminates the substances that increase inflammation and contribute to wrinkles such as simple and refined carbs, caffeine, soda pop, alcohol, and junk food, resulting in firmer skin and improved muscle tone.

STEP 3: The Cleansing Boost. These cleanses give the body an opportunity to experience deep cleansing in the organs of the body, such as the intestinal tract, liver, gallbladder, and kidneys. These unique cleansing programs help to flush away toxins that congest organs and promote aging. The Cleansing Boost can totally transform your face and overall health. You begin with a One to Two-Week Colon Cleanse then go to the 7-Day Liver Cleanse, and/or The 7-Day Gallbladder Flush, and the Kidney Cleanse.

STEP 4: Energy-Boosting Supplement Program. This aspect of the cleanse program outlines the vitamins and minerals that help renew skin and increase vitality. Antioxidants such as alpha- and beta-carotene, vitamin E, glutathione, selenium, and alpha lipoic acid bind to free radicals and keep them from damaging your cells.

You may think this sounds too simple. How could such an inexpensive dietary program make a person look younger? I can tell you firsthand it works. Give the Wrinkle Cleanse a try. After all-you have nothing to lose but wrinkles. (C) Cherie Calbom
