Care for a gourmet breakfast at The Farm?

MANILA, Philippines - Our body is exposed daily to harmful elements in the diet and the environment, accumulating toxins much faster than we can eliminate them.

This toxification causes frequent body headaches and body pains, chronic respiratory and sinus problems, abnormal body odor and bad breath, food allergies, insomnia, depression and irritability, skin blemishes, constipation, bloating and gas, which are symptoms of illnesses.

Rediscover the body’s natural process of eliminating toxins with the detox programs of The Farm, Asia’s Center of Excellence for Holistic Health located amid the lush vegetation of Lipa City, Batangas.

This clinically-tested program aims to remove the cause of the disease before it makes people ill, using different routes such as skin, lungs, kidney, liver, colon, and the lympathic system.

Detoxification will clean the digestive tract, purify the blood and internal organs, improve metabolic functions, clear excess mucous and congestion, strengthen the body’s immune system, and allow better cell rejuvenation.

A recipient of the Spa Retreat of the Year and the Medi-Spa of the Year Awards from the prestigious Baccarat Asia, The Farm offers three detox programs, which include medically-controlled weight loss, effective diabetes management, and healthy gourmet food.

The programs start off with the “Discover Detox” which includes three days/two nights’ stay in a villa or suite accommodation, guided tour of The Farm, medical consultation, nutritional microscopy, and follow-up consultation with a doctor.

Other features include a colon hydrotherapy session with colon massage, a 30-minute massage under the stars, a 60-minute relaxation massage, a 90-minute purification treatment, and participation in the resort’s yoga and daily activities.

For a more intensive detoxification, there are the “Relax and Rejuve” and “Regain and Recover” programs which run for five days/four nights and seven days/six nights, respectively.

Moreover, The Farm also offers wellness getaways in its “Full Seven-Day Promo” available at any day of the week, be it a day tour or an overnight stay.

The “Day At The Farm” is the basic package, which includes a welcome drink, guided tour, a 60-minute spa treatment (relaxation massage, reflexology massage, lympathic drainage, earth facial, kitchen fresh facial), use of facilities, five-course gourmet lunch, live blood analysis (LBA) and a yoga session.

The Road to Health is Paved with Good Intestines

I know the intestines are not a subject we, in the modern world, like to discuss. However, please bear with me as I provide you with some “seeds of knowledge” that will not only help to prevent disease, but that are also changing the lives of millions of people and restoring health to those with disorders such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple allergic response syndrome, lupus, irritable bowel, Crohn’s disease and yes, even cancer.

The large intestine (also known as the colon) is a hollow tube-like organ of approximately 5 to 5 1/2 feet in length. It is made up of pockets called sacculations, medically known as haustrae. In this tube are trillions of cells associated with the human body, 90 percent of which are bacteria microflora microorganisms living in the large intestine. It is now universally accepted that autointoxication, a condition meaning the body is poisoning itself, is the underlying cause of an alarmingly large percentage of degenerative disorders and complex diseases.

The inner lining of the colon consists of extremely sensitive nerves and glands that provide an important function in the final stages of digestion and assimilation of foods. These same nerves and glands help to eliminate wastes from the system, a sort of human garbage disposal. In addition, the blood eliminates many of its wastes through the colonic walls. Researchers in degenerative diseases and professionals trained in colon hydrotherapy have shown that extra body weight can be attributed to the waste accumulation that lies within the 60,000 miles that make up the blood vessels, lymphatic system, bones, joints and soft and connective tissues. Much of this accumulated waste can take up “housekeeping” in the colonic pockets (sacculations) because of the structural makeup of the colon. Over decades, this “packed-in” waste can accumulate as much as 30 to 50 lbs of fecal waste.

When the body becomes overwhelmed with toxins it can’t handle, it becomes a raging fire on a path of self destruction; this is where colon health computes into the health equation. Colon cleansing can be accomplished by three major methods: colon irrigation through hydrotherapy, exercise, and better diet high in fiber and vegetables aid in the removal and elimination of colonic plaque.
