Q: Can I take the Ultimate Cleanse for the rest of my life?

A: The Ultimate Cleanse was not designed to be used forever. It was designed to help get your body back to properly functioning on its own. SEE NEXT QUESTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAIL.

Q: How long should I take the Ultimate Cleanse? How do I know when I'm done with the Cleanse?

A: Cleansing Blend with Herbs and Cleansing Blend with Fibers were designed to be taken together in the morning and evening as a complete internal cleanser. The key objective of an internal cleanse is to support your body's natural ability to have 2-3 bowel movements a day, and to release accumulated toxins in the body.

How to Begin:  Take 1 tablet of the Cleansing Blend with Herbs and 1 tablet of the Cleansing Blend with Fibers in the morning and in the evening on an empty stomach ( 30 minutes before meals or at least 2 hours after meals ).

How to Adjust:  Increase intake of both products by 1 tablet every other day ( but not skipping a day of the product ), until you achieve 2-3 good bowel movements per day. Once you achieve 2-3 good bowel movements per day, maintain that dosage. Do not exceed 6 tablets of each product twice a day. If you experience a loose or watery stool, decrease your intake of the product. Be sure to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day, or half of your body weight in ounces.

How to Finish: Your body will tell you when you have almost finished your initial cleanse. When you begin to see signs of an overly soft or persistently loose stool, decrease the dosage of each product by 1 tablet in the morning and in the evening. Then maintain that dosage until your stool softens again, then decrease again to the next lower dosage. Continue to decrease the tablet intake as you see signs of a persistently loose stool until you back down off of the product. This process could take anywhere from a few weeks to 3-6 months ( each individual is different ). You can use the Ultimate Cleanse for up to 6 months at a time if needed, but it's intended to only be used for as long as your body needs it. We recommend that you take a 2-3 month break from the product if used for up to six months at a time. You may repeat the Ultimate Cleanse once or twice a year.

How to Maintain: Even after you have stopped taking the Ultimate Cleanse, it is important that you continue having 2-3 bowel movements per day if possible. The Ultimate Fiber and the Ultimate Oil will provide bulk and lubrication to the colon and can be used year round as a maintenance program to keep the bowel clean and functioning efficiently.

Q: I'm taking the maximum recommended Ultimate Cleanse dosage and I'm still not achieving 2-3 bowel movements per day, what should I do?

A: Some people have very stubborn or sluggish colons and need a stronger bowel cleanser. The Ultimate Cleanse does cleanse the bowel but the Super Cleanse has a stronger ratio of bowel cleansing herbs. Both products can be used together to provide a total body cleanse and a powerful bowel cleanse. You can also add the Ultimate Oil to your diet, since the Ultimate Oil helps to lubricate the intestinal tract. If the bowel still does not move with the Super Cleanse, you should consult a health care provider. If you are having no bowel movements at all, discontinue the cleanse and consult your health care provider immediately.

Q: I'm a pregnant or nursing mother, why can't I use the Ultimate Cleanse? What Nature's Secret products can I use?

A: The Ultimate Cleanse can pull accumulated toxins out of various organs in the body and those toxins may be potentially hazardous if passed along to the baby. Also the mother's body is busy developing the child or the milk, and it's best to reserve the bodies' energy for that development. A pregnant or nursing mother can use any of our nutrient products, but it's always important to consult your physician when introducing new items to your diet during pregnancy. The important thing to remember is that pregnancy and lactation are building processes, and cleansing is a detoxification process.

Q: How soon can I start the Ultimate Cleanse after surgery?

A: We recommend waiting four to six weeks after surgery because it's best to allow the body to reserve its energy for healing after surgery. As always, we recommend consulting with your physician before beginning a cleanse.

Q: Is the Ultimate Cleanse suitable if I have Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Thyroid or any serious health concerns?

A: We recommend that if you have any serious health issues, to consult your health care provider before using any cleansing products. Even though some individuals with these health concerns may benefit from internal cleansing, we still recommend that you consult a health care provider.

Q: Is the Ultimate Cleanse suitable for children?

A: Ultimate Cleanse and the Super Cleanse are not suggested for children under the age of 12. These products were designed for adults. The child might benefit from the Ultimate Oil, which can provide lubrication to the bowel. It is important to consult your health care provider before administering any supplements to children.

Q: Does the Ultimate Cleanse make you lose weight?

A: The Ultimate Cleanse is a cleansing product, not a diet product, however people have lost weight during their cleanse. Many people have an excessive amount of fecal matter in their intestines. Ultimate Cleanse will help to cleanse the fecal matter out of your body. Cleansing is the first step in a good weight control program. Cleansing can help improve the assimilation of nutrients, which can help control the appetite. Cleansing the organs can also improve their performance, increasing your metabolism.

Q: What should I expect from a detoxification program such as the Ultimate Cleanse?

A: Some individuals experience mild flu like symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, headaches, etc. during the first phase of the cleansing process. This generally lasts anywhere from 2-5 days. Some of the positive effects after the Ultimate Cleanse may include feeling lighter, better, and more energetic. You may also notice enhanced digestion, better elimination, healthier hair, skin, and nails, brighter eyes, increased mental clarity, heightened enthusiasm, vitality, and much more.

Q: Do I have to change my diet?

A: We recommend a high fiber low fat diet which includes fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Try to consume easier to digest proteins such as fish, chicken, or turkey instead of a large amounts of red meat products. When snacking, try to eat more fruits and vegetables instead of cakes, cookies, and pies. Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day, or half of your body weight in ounces. This is a must because it helps to eliminate toxins quicker, and is essential for over all good health.

You don't have to change your whole lifestyle drastically to reap benefits from the cleanse, but being more health conscious with food and exercise will give you better results. So remember, do the best you can on the diet, but have reasonable goals, no one is perfect.

* Do not eat fruits if you have Candida Albicans issues.

Q: Is the Ultimate Cleanse effective in eliminating legal and illegal drugs from the body?

A: The Ultimate Cleanse is designed to release and eliminate toxins from the body. Over a period of time a cleanse could be beneficial for releasing these types of substances. The average cleansing time could be anywhere from 3-6 months depending on the level of toxicity and the individual.

* However, this product is not recommended for this type of usage.
