One way to “jump-start” your journey to total health is to go to a cleansing and body detoxification retreat. They have been growing in popularity because of the great results people experience during and after their attendance.
In fact, I recently wrote a letter for a cleansing center in Canada called Abundant Life Wellness Centre. It was a lot of fun, not only because it’s an area of interest for me, but also because I got to learn some interesting facts and statistics along the way.
At some point, I plan to head up to the Centre and participate in a retreat. Right now, we have young kids, which makes it more difficult. Maybe in a year or two our parents will feel prepared to watch our kids for 10 days while we go to Canada for the retreat.
Anyway, whether you ever plan to go to a cleansing retreat or not, you may want to take a few moments to read this letter. It is intended to get you to go to Abundant Life Wellness Centre, but it is also educational. Here’s the link:

seems like a waste of time really, do some research yourself (http://www.fitnessforums.org) and you are set.
Mark – It would be helpful if you explained your thinking rather than just saying a cleansing retreat is a “waste of time–come to my site and you’ll see.”
I did two searches on your forum. One for “cleansing retreat” and the other for “retreat.” Neither search produced a thread that is relevant to my post.
I don’t want to discourage comments at all. I appreciate them, and want to encourage thoughtful discussion here.
Thanks!

I think the retreat sounds both relaxing and invigorating! Ryan, did you ever see that movie titled, The Road To Wellsville? It is loosely based on the teachings of Dr. Kellogg; I say “loosely” because they are actually poking fun at –rather than touting– his cause: maximum health through a wholesome vegan diet (maybe even raw), colonics, ample rest, and exercise. Funniest scenes depict the strange “exercise” equipment that was sold at that time. A lot of bizarre massagers and machines that vigorously shake the body. Ironic how after I saw this movie, rather than scoffing at “wacky” Dr. Kellogg, I wanted to learn more about him and find out if his resort is still in operation!
I remember when that movie came out, but I never did see it. The movie is rated R and, at the time, I was in 9th grade! Maybe I should put it in my Netflix queue… :-)

Hey Ryan, my DH and I were strongly considering sending him on a fasting retreat with Dr. Graham of http://www.foodnsport.com – it is supposed to be a life changing experience. But in the end we just didn’t feel like we could let him be gone from our family for a month! :)
We’re considering going to a family health and fitness retreat this fall if they decide to go ahead with it, though.
The cleansing retreat sounds peaceful and relaxing!
