Below are treatments and tips that simply worked for me in treating my Mother who battled Alzheimer's/Dementia from 2000 - 2012.  It is part of the cleaner lifestyle that is advocated on my site.  Just wanted to disclose that the core of the treatment, the supplements and the soaking of the feet, were found on ehow.com, and I expanded on it through my discoveries and experiences when I was administering this treatment to my Mother.  I took the treatment with her so I could understand what she might be going through. God guided me through it all.
    

As it happens quite often in life, these experiences touched my heart so deeply that I want to share my knowledge to as many people as I can. My hope is that it makes a difference in people's lives, one person at a time.  I kindly refer to this treatment as the JOY Treatment to honor my mother who's middle name was Joy, hence "JOY in Clean Living". My Mother had a strong compassion for helping those that were hurting. She just didn't want them to hurt anymore. I sincerely hope, that on her behalf, this website helps as many hurting people as possible. I know Mother would be smiling. And more importantly, I believe God would be smiling too.

Just a friendly reminder to always check with your physician before starting any generic treatments of any kind.  It is always best to get your doctor's opinion first.
     

The JOY Treatment begins first with changing your habits of eating and exercising. Analyze and implement a more natural and organic plan in your eating. And implement a regular habit of exercising. Enjoy a bath soak in Epsom salt and sea salt on occasion, especially after holidays, parties, weekends of eating out, etc... Everyone is different, and this may be all your body needs to offer it breathing room which will allow your body the ability to naturally cleanse itself of the aluminums, etc... as God intended. However, if you have done this for 3 - 4 weeks and have seen no results, then proceed with the treatment as described below:

Begin with simply taking the following supplements daily for a 2-week minimum for an effective aluminum cleanse. (It was our experience that our bowels changed to a rusty color and then back to normal which was an indication that the bulk of the aluminum had been eliminated successfully.)

Apple Pectin – 600 mg

Turmeric – 600 mg

Kelp - 600 – 660 mg

Then to completely pull the aluminums out of the body, you need to soak your feet for 20 - 30 minutes in  1 cup Epsom salt every day for the 2-week period preferably in a bubble foot spa. If using still water, soak no less than 30 minutes. Do not soak your feet longer than 30 minutes. Be careful handling the water when disposing it as the aluminums will soak back in to the body upon contact.

Minimize aluminum intake during and after treatment.

Eliminate alcoholic beverages and barbecue sauces during the treatment.

Depending on how much aluminum your body is eliminating, you may or may not have discomforts and/or digestive issues. But if you do, here are a couple of suggestions to ease the discomforts:

For aches and pains: Ibuprofen

For digestive issues: Bean-O, Alka Seltzer, sprite, lemon drops and peppermint.

The best advice is to live a life from now on that is…AS NATURAL AS POSSIBLE AND ORGANIC WHEN YOU CAN!

The idea is to begin living a life as preservative free as possible which will minimize the aluminum intake. Check labels consistently looking for aluminum and preservatives that may contain aluminum. Sometimes, they don’t always say it but they do in fact contain it. For example, after further research, here are just a few additives that I discovered to have aluminum in them: Blue Lake, Yellow Lake, and Red Lake dyes. You have to be careful with additives that don’t really tell you what they are, like “natural flavors”, because you don’t know what is in it. Trial and error is the best way to determine this one. Also consider the products used to prepare your foods, such as aluminum pans, or the container of your beverages, such as aluminum cans. Glass and stainless steel pans are preferred.
    

There is a maintenance plan that consists of taking the same supplements on Wednesday and Sunday only and soaking feet at least once a week, but you can soak them more often if you prefer.
    

Combat those everyday aches and pains with an occasional Epsom salt and sea salt soak in the tub as well. It is a great way to facilitate the cleansing that the 2-week treatment and maintenance plan accomplishes. Just a note of interest: Soaking in a tub of Epsom salt with hemorrhoids is not a good idea. It may cause them to be inflamed. Consult your physician about this concern prior to the Epsom salt soak.
    

Keep in mind that it took a long time for the aluminums to build up in your system, especially to the point of causing problems. And, it will take a while to see major results from the treatment and new lifestyle changes that you are making. For instance, I started the treatment in February, 2011, and was on the maintenance plan for about 5 years. I have recently discovered that my body seems to be handling the aluminums and preservatives quite well and that I no longer need the maintenance plan. When I would take the supplements at night and wake up the next morning with a killer headache, I knew that my body did not need it any more. So, I would conclude that my regimen of exposure to these elements is at a good and safe level for my bodies ability to process it as God intended. I am in balance, if you will. That is a GREAT PLACE TO BE! I feel better than ever. I am so aware of the presence of aluminums in my body that I now know when they are out of balance. The reality is that the longer your body has been effected by the aluminums, the more sensitive you are to them. So, you will begin to recognize the symptoms. Taking the treatment or simply soaking your feet will bring the levels in your body back to normal. It is a wonderful feeling to know that aluminums cannot hurt you anymore! You have the weapon needed to defeat the negative effects it may have on your body. Hallelujah!
