[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How much weight will I lose?” tab_id=”1447412188811-bb77e6b5-ff5a”][vc_column_text]The question regarding how much weight one can lose is a tricky one. Each person responds differently to our treatments. Our focus is more on detox. If the focus gets to a fixed expectation of a mentally desired loss of weight, this desire can become a self-sabotaging obstacle blocking the way from what the body actually needs. Our program is designed to re-balance the glandular and hormonal system and this resetting will calm your liver, adjust the pancreas’ hormonal levels and tonify your kidneys 3 main organs which work in sync. Weight loss is a benefit that one would get, not because stops eating for a number of days, but because of the changes in how the organs function after the detox and how the metabolic system becomes more efficient and any weight loss can become sustainable in the longer term combined with some dietary and living changes to support it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Yes ok, but how much weight will I lose?” tab_id=”1447412474499-1213549c-3d2d”][vc_column_text]
I could give you any silly answer but the truth is that is hard to give you a responsible answer without complete info. i.e. your actual weight vs. height, BMI, age, weight range history, metabolic type and whether the weight is of water retention or fat accumulation type plus whether it is localized or spread equally throughout the body. Additionally whether you exercise in any way, what type of job you do, are you on any medications. On the top of that, possible emotional & psychological factors impacting your body’s responses. The most important…why weight loss is important to you? Is it because your body needs it or because the mind desires it? Even if your body’s response to fasting is fat conservation, it is not a natural reaction and most likely something else triggers it to do so. Perhaps you need to ask yourself some tough questions and be prepared for any answers. This sincere introspection may reveal blockages that now you are ready to drop and be ready for their release, which may bring weight loss as a result…assuming that your body absolutely needs it. I am telling you this because I would like you to find the click that will make a shift. Definitely the detox program rewires the entire system but our cooperation is required as well. Assuming that you have weight to lose and if your body needs it rather than been a simple cosmetic desire, there is no doubt that you will be losing weight in our program. Statistically, you can expect a weight loss from 0.5-1 kg per day depending the overweight amount, metabolism, clear intention and program length. See more about weight loss here.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Is there any pre-fasting preparation?” tab_id=”1447412508354-5d4b4a0a-125a”][vc_column_text]It is a good idea to start the fasting and cleansing process with some dietary changes before your arrival to Health Oasis. Decrease, or if you can exclude, caffeine, alcohol, sugar, red meat, dairy, wheat, processed and fried foods from your diet for a good 3-4 days before coming here. This makes the detox process a lot easier once you commence the fast. Focus your intake on fresh foods like fruit and vegetables and remember to drink lots of water to start flushing everything out. It is not absolutely crucial to the detox, so only do the best you can. If you find it difficult to make these changes, it will not hinder the detox in any way.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do fasting detox programs/prices include food?” tab_id=”1450144642076-e125e5ad-3c46″][vc_column_text]Our detox programs are fasting detox based, i.e. not eating. Detoxing while fasting is far superior in many ways and has many well documented advantages over detoxing while eating.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I do a water-fasting program?” tab_id=”1450144734787-cc383658-a1ff”][vc_column_text]It is our policy to only accept clients who undertake our programs exactly as we administer them. So even though you may know what you are doing, water fasts are not something we specialise in, so we can not offer adequate guidance or safety. As such we cannot recommend nor take responsibility for anyone doing them under our watch. We regret that we cannot be of help to you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”I have high blood pressure!” tab_id=”1450144738682-db9c3d6e-b5af”][vc_column_text]In general, a detox program will probably the best thing you can do, due to the fact it rewires the information the immune system processes and helps the body to reach back to homeostasis (the natural state of equilibrium) which will in turn aid in lowering and regulating a high blood pressure condition. Statistically almost all clients of ours, experience a drop in their blood pressure and in fact if they happen to take blood pressure medication they frequently have to reduce it or eliminate it altogether because the detox itself causes a drop.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Should I do blood tests before I arrive?” tab_id=”1450144740251-cdb37e12-5053″][vc_column_text]It is not necessary, unless you have a medical history of a serious condition. However it will be a good idea, for your reference to do before and after your program a range of blood tests CBC, Lipid profile, Hormonal, Renal & hepatic profiles.
A comparison of these tests will reconfirm the difference not only of how you will feel and how you will look, but also how you will be on the inside health-wise.
Because that is the important factor to keep in mind, the health benefits you will have are the ones that will assist your body transform from the inside.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”I am of normal weight; will I lose too much weight?” tab_id=”1450144741406-c89515d3-49d9″][vc_column_text]The overall aim of all our programs is actually detox. And please remember we all accumulate and hold toxins in our body, especially the bowels no matter what our weight is, whether slim or obese. When the bowel becomes encrusted with un-expelled fecal material due to poor dietary habits, the absorption of vital nutrients slows down to the degree of encrustation. Poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems. We have many guests come to detox who are of normal or even slim body weight because they understand this vital principle.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”I do not want to lose any muscle mass” tab_id=”1450146571355-15cd9798-b94f”][vc_column_text]The nutrition provided with our programs includes a range of vitamins and minerals in their natural form. This will assist your body to detox while also providing its fundamental nutritional needs. You should expect a some weight loss but it will normally be fat or water. From our understanding it normally takes quite a number of weeks of supervised fasting, while not receiving enough protein and doing no strength training to lose a significant amount of muscle mass until the body. When you are done cleansing and go back to strength training you will likely gain that muscle back quickly due in part to muscle memory. However if you are in doubt or concerned we suggest you consult with your primary health care physician.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What kind of tablets do you use?” tab_id=”1450146573288-5e29c9f1-c575″][vc_column_text]We do NOT use tablets at Health Oasis’ fasting detox programs.
One of the major problems with many fasting programs out there is that they use tablets and capsules and a lot of them like the Arise and Shine. The problem with that is that during a fast the stomach can sometimes stop producing gastric juices and when someone throws all of a sudden 10 tablets inside the stomach 5 times a day, the entire body gets confused and has 3 choices,
a) Digest them by starting producing gastric juices,
b) Eliminate them without breaking them down almost in the same tablet form or
c) Vomit them
Very few people in the fasting industry understand this fundamental principle and keep using tablets. We don’t. We use everything in a liquid form and is placed sublingually under the tongue for 1 min where is transported instantly into the bloodstream without digestion and bypassing the stomach and avoiding unnecessary side effects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What about exercise?” tab_id=”1450427337270-a4ae770d-e2e4″][vc_column_text]
We do NOT recommend while detoxing, strong aerobic exercise, which create ketones and disturb the blood sugar balance. Stretching, yoga, stroll walking are fine though.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I do a fasting detox program while on menstruation?” tab_id=”1450427338774-facc8cbd-6c35″][vc_column_text]
The loss of iron over a couple of days of menstruation is not of a concern. Anyway we use sublingual chlorophyll in our supplements, which contains very absorbable iron, plus it cleanses the blood.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do you have trained medical staff who can administer sedatives etc. as required to help overcome these addictions, especially during the initial several days? If not, can you arrange this service from an external source?” tab_id=”1450427471767-5444ff94-60c6″][vc_column_text]
We are a fasting and detox facility and we DO NOT specialize in substance withdrawal or dependency issues. If you are coming to clean up your body and mind, we are able to support you to a certain extent, however in terms of administering sedatives, providing counseling and professional services in this area we cannot or do not promote this as rehabilitation or detox clinic.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”I have diabetes; can I do a fasting detox?” tab_id=”1450427473372-9a019704-2616″][vc_column_text]
Our program is designed to re-balance the glandular and hormonal system and this resetting will calm your liver, adjust the pancreas’ hormonal levels and tonify your kidneys 3 main organs which work in sync. As a result of the pancreas/spleen adjustment, the production of insulin and adrenaline will start reaching optimum levels plus that the thyroid and thymus will be boosted increasing the metabolic rate, which will assist both the weight loss but also the blood sugar levels.
We use an extensive range of oxygen treatments, stabilized oxygen orally administered, H202 in colonics, and epidermally and ozone steam sessions. All these, plus the wide range of the other supplements target the oxygenation of the entire bloodstream in order to combat glucose process malfunctions and bring the body into equilibrium.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What about the colonics?” tab_id=”1450427531115-cb39ff42-f244″][vc_column_text]
The idea of a colonic can be for some a little strange. However please remember it is very easy to do, it is self administered in your own room if you like, and the benefits are amazing and also it is an essential part of any detox. I would recommend trying it a few times first before backing out. If after trying it is unsuitable, then we can work out alternatives.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What type of colonics?” tab_id=”1450427564534-ed6b74a2-aaed”][vc_column_text]
The colonic system we use (and 95% of all detox programs use) is what is called the colema board system and works with natural gravity rather than pumping water pressure that the colonic irrigation machines use which can be quite dangerous. We instruct you how to use and it is self administered which allows you control of the process and privacy instead of having another person in the room while eliminating which can be quite uncomfortable.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What about colonic irrigation machine based colonics?” tab_id=”1532160548332-c290b4ba-ecd8″][vc_column_text]
Please note use of machine based high pressure colonic irrigation is strictly contraindicated during our fasting detox. Under no circumstances can any guest under our care partake in them. Furthermore management reserves the right to stop the program of the guest if they are found partaking in them. Alternatively if this is important to the guest, they are encouraged to do them before or after their program.
