What is a healing crisis?

A healing crisis occurs when the body tries to eliminate toxins at a faster rate than they can be properly disposed of. The more toxic one's bodily systems are, the more severe the detoxification, or healing crisis. It is characterized by a temporary increase in symptoms during the cleansing or detox process which may be mild or severe. You may feel worse and therefore conclude that the treatment is not working. But these reactions are instead signs that the treatment is working and that your body is going through the process of cleaning itself of impurities, toxins and imbalances.

What are the dangers in cleanzing?

As with all things in life, there can be a down-side to cleanzing.

1. If you are pregnant or have any disease, please consult a physician before undergoing any cleanse.

2. There is always a possibility that someone can be allergic to a food that is in the iZO Cleanze, so make sure you read the program guide which lists all the ingredients. All ingredients are vegan, organic, raw, and gluten-free, but occasionally there is someone that is allergic to something like cayenne pepper.

Will I need to be sitting in the bathroom all day?

No, you will not be on the toilet all day long. You may have more bowel movements than usual, and they will obviously be occurring at irregular times of the day. But this is a good thing. The whole point of cleansing is to get the toxins out. This is not like doing the salt water flush of the Master Cleanse where you DO have to be near a toilet.

Will I be full of energy or sluggish and tired while on a cleanze?

Both! But mostly, you'll feel great, and you'll definitely feel great after the cleanze, assuming you exit properly. Days 2 and 3 can generally be challenging days where you may encounter patches of sluggishness and minor headaches. However, trust that these are merely patches that you will get through if you ride it out. If you're going through Purgatory, keep going! You can always get a colonic or do an enema to help get through the rough patches.

Will I be hungry while cleanzing?

The most common response from iZO clients is how surprised they are that they're not hungry. Most cleanses are designed to somehow beat hunger. Some of them do this by allowing you to eat (not a real cleanse in our opinion). Others do it by weathering the hunger storm of a depleted nutritional regimen. The iZO Cleanze on the other hand floods you with nutrients all day long so that it is more like a feast than a fast. Realize that you're drinking over a gallon of liquid throughout the day.

What if I don't want to lose weight?

The iZO Cleanze is so nutritionally supportive that if you don't have weight to lose, you won't lose it. Your body is flooded with so many nutrients throughout the day on the iZO Cleanze that it will not lose weight that it's not healthy to lose, i.e. muscle, etc.

How much weight will I lose?

Every ‘body’ is different, and therefore your weight-loss pace is dependent on your body history, and in particular how much weight you have to lose. That being said, many people lose up to 1 to 2 pounds per day. The longer you are on the cleanze, the faster the rate of weight loss.

What are the effects of cleanzing?

Your body hasn’t stopped ‘going’ in many years, and on the contrary, it has been pummeled with all sorts of toxic atrocities and stress. So consider this a vacation for your body, but remember that traveling to your vacation destination can be challenging at times. You may experience minor headaches, sluggishness, fuzziness, and general discombobulation at points. Don’t worry- everything is going to be fine. And you can call us or email if you have an issue and someone will get back to you shortly.

What is actually happening with my body on a cleanze?

When your body is without solid foods for 12 hours or more, it switches over into ‘cleanze’ mode during which it proceeds to excrete toxins and heal itself. It does this because you’ve taken the need for digestion away, thereby freeing up the body’s energy to be spent on healing itself. Ironically, although we eat food in order to gain energy, the digestion of solid foods uses up MOST of the body’s energy. When the digestion energy drain is taken away, the body can take that energy and focus it on self-healing and giving itself a surplus of energy.

What if I have heavy metals?

If you have heavy metal toxicity, we recommend that you do the Heavy Metal Hardcore Juice Feast. The iZO Superfood Cleanze is also very well suited to cleanzing the body of heavy metals.
