What is the core philosophy of Purium, and how does it relate to health and well-being?
Purium’s core philosophy is that the quality of the food you consume directly translates to the quality of your life. While the saying “you are what you eat” is partially true, the emphasis is more on the nutritional quality of the food rather than its literal form. Purium believes in providing “pure and premium” food to improve overall wellness, longevity, and happiness, supported by scientific principles, particularly in phytochemistry and epigenetics. Purium advocates for the body to function optimally through better digestion, elimination, rehydration, nutrition, and detoxification support. We believe that many health issues can be addressed by focusing on these core functions, rather than relying solely on medical interventions.
Why is there a specific recommendation to take Super Aminos 30 minutes before the Power Shake on the Ultimate Lifestyle Transformation (ULT) program?
Super Aminos are designed to be rapidly absorbed into the body, working within 23 minutes to support muscles, brain, and cellular functions. The 30-minute recommendation gives them sufficient time to be effective before consuming the Power Shake. This timing is designed for optimal utilization of the nutrients. However, a small percentage of people may experience a drop in blood pressure from the super aminos, so it’s recommended that these people take the Power Shake with the Aminos, or right after, to avoid discomfort. The 30 minute recommendation is generally for comfort and rhythm.
Besides the Super Cleanser, what other natural methods are recommended for parasite removal, especially for breastfeeding mothers?
For breastfeeding mothers or individuals who cannot use the Super Cleanser, Purium recommends pumpkin seeds, which have sharp edges that can physically disrupt parasites. About a half a cup over two to three hours is recommended. Coconut oil is also highly effective as it contains compounds like caprylic acid and monolaurin, which can smother parasites and prevent them from absorbing nutrients. Coconut oil also offers benefits such as being antiparasitic, antifungal and antiviral. It is suggested to buy cold pressed coconut oil packed in glass. A small amount of psyllium with pumpkin seeds may also help those who can tolerate it.
If someone has allergies to common ingredients like wheat, soy, and brown rice, what Purium product alternatives are recommended?
For individuals with allergies to wheat, soy, and brown rice, Purium offers a range of pure green products that are free from these allergens. Options include the organic barley green juice, camu blend, and the spectrum greens. These products provide the benefits of greens without the problematic ingredients. It is also important to note that wheatgrass or barley grass does not mean that there is wheat or barley in these products.
Which Purium products are specifically recommended for supporting the detoxification system, particularly the liver, kidneys, and bladder?
To support the liver, Purium recommends alkaline green foods that increase oxygenation and circulation, along with products high in carotenoids like Super Xanthan, spirulina, and carrot juice. Beet juice and zinc-8 are also beneficial for liver health. To support the kidneys, reducing animal protein and fried food intake is key. Increasing the intake of greens (which contain bitters to aid bile production) and Super Aminos is also recommended. For a healthy gallbladder, the Bio Fruit with its cranberry extract is highly beneficial and helps to support a healthy urinary tract as well. The aloe digest is also recommended for support of all of these organs.
What Purium products are recommended for managing psoriasis, especially when it returns after initial improvement?
For psoriasis management, Purium suggests using the enzyme advantage before each meal and the bio region every night before bed. They also emphasize having two green drinks a day and engaging in activities to increase circulation such as elevating the legs against the wall. Super Xanthan is a key product, as its astaxanthin content can help manage psoriasis, often requiring a dosage of 6 capsules a day. This is because astaxanthin resides in the layers of the skin, and also acts as a natural sunscreen, with antioxidant properties.
Which Purium products should not be used together?
The only product that is recommended to not take with other products would be the daily fiber blend. This product is designed to trap and move things along. It is recommended to take daily fiber two hours after taking supplements to make sure they do not absorb the benefits of the nutrients. Also mixing the bio fruit and the spectrum greens is not recommended. Labels should be checked for warnings, as all other advice is from personal experience.
Can Purium products help with mental function recovery after surgery or while using opioid medications, and what products are specifically recommended?
For recovery of mental function post-surgery and while using opioid medications, Purium recommends Chlorella and Revive It All, along with fulvic zeolite to remove residues from medications and anesthesia. It is recommended to continue with green drinks to assist in binding and removing dioxins. They do believe it will help you recover from the medications, but also encourage coming off of medications soon.
