Q. What is the Optimal Cleanse?

The Optimal Cleanse is a nutrient-based whole body detoxification program that incorporates targeted foods, powerful rice-based detox shakes, and step-by-step instructions to guide you through your cleanse. Designed to feed the liver and go after the fat, this program will assist your body's detoxification systems in being more efficient in eliminating toxins while boosting your metabolism. The Optimal Cleanse Program has been successfully used in medical clinics around the country and is recommended by many leading doctors.


Q. How can the Optimal Cleanse benefit me?

Everyday, all day we are exposed to a number of toxic substances in the foods we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the environment in which we surround ourselves (smog, plastic materials, building materials, etc.). Many of these toxins are unable to escape our bodies and can be stored for years, or even decades. Additionally, our bodies may also suffer from stress, fatigue, extreme dieting, and/or substance abuse, making it is easy to see why one can benefit from the Optimal Cleanse Program.

The Optimal Cleanse Program is designed to help restore your body's natural detoxification system, (which may be compromised, overburdened, and fatigued) and promote a healthy state for the body to begin to recover and function efficiently. The Optimal Cleanse Program can promote weight loss, in fact many of our clients loose 10 lbs. in 10 days. It can also help stabilize high cholesterol, regulate hormones, promote mental clarity, and increase energy. The Optimal Cleanse Program supports healthy liver function and many clients enjoy an improvement in hair and skin. We recommend cleansing every three to six month with your doctor's approval.


Q. What is detoxification?

Detoxification is the elimination of toxins from the body. We are exposed to these toxins externally, from environmental sources, and internally, from products generated by ongoing, normal daily cellular processes. Your liver is the principal player in detoxification, and the Optimal Cleanse is designed to give this organ, as well as other tissues, the necessary nutritional support for the detoxification process.


Q. Will I lose 10 pounds in 10 days?

All patients vary - results depend on age, activity level,etc. However, 10 pounds is the average loss our clients experience.


Q. Is this a colon cleanse?

No. It is not a colon cleanse, thus no emergency trips to the restroom! The Optimal Cleanse shake is a liver and fat cell detox developed by East West Essentials after years of clinical testing. It is designed to eliminate toxins that can cause digestive problems, sluggish metabolism and fatigue.


Q. Will I be tired? Can I go to work? Can I work out?

You are getting 20 plus grams of protein in each shake and all the nutrients you need in the day. Keep in mind that while most clients feel more energized, others may need to modify strenuous physical activity during the Optimal Cleanse. There is no "typical" response as each client reacts differently based on lifesyle, environmental exposure and physiological, mental and biochemical differences.


Q. Does it taste good?

Although most enjoy the taste, please remember it is a medical food designed for health benefits. It is not intended to be a dessert shake. Drink it ICE COLD and quickly if you find the taste or texture unpleasant in any way. You can also add cinnamon for taste. It will be worth it!


Q. Does it contain sugar or anything artificial?

No! The ingredients are all natural.


Q. Can I mix the Optimal Cleanse with juice or something besides water?

For maximum benefit, we always recommend you mix with filtered water. If weight loss is not a goal and you are only looking to detox, you may blend with an organic fruit or juice.


Q. Are there any side effects?

While mild and temporary, some clients experience disturbance in sleep patterns, changes in body temperature, light-headedness, mood swings, headaches, joint and muscle aches, inability to concentrate and changes in gastrointestinal function. If constipation occurs, consider a natural fiber supplement or herbal tea. Always consult with your healthcare provider.


Q. Can I take additional supplements while on the program?

We recommend you follow your doctor's recommendations. The Optimal Cleanse has been carefully formulated with specific levels of selected nutrients to support its intended use, so you shouldn't need additional supplements during your cleanse. Furthermore, you may be sensitive or allergic to ingredients contained in your current supplements.


Q. Is it okay to use the Optimal Cleanse if I am pregnant or nursing?

No, at this time the Optimal Cleanse has not been clinically tested under these conditions and we do not recommend using it while pregnant or nursing.


Q. How many canisters of the beverage product will I need?

If you are following the program servings exactly, you will need two bottles for the 10 day cleanse, two bottles for the 14 day cleanse, and four bottles for the 28 day cleanse.


Q. May I use this product and dietary plan for my child?

No. The contents of this product have been based upon adult guidelines and it has not been clinically tested for children.


Q. Can I use salt on this diet?

Generally we over salt our food. We suggest that you use sea salt sparingly, or not at all.


Q. Can I drink coffee and tea?

Caffeine has been eliminated from the dietary program as it can have a significant negative affect on detoxification. Herbal teas without caffeine can be used during this program.


Q. How often may I use the products and programs?

You may go on the Optimal Cleanse program as often as you like, if recommended by your healthcare practitioner.

How can I make the 10 day cleanse a 14 day cleanse.

  • Day 1 repeat once
  • Day 6 repeat twice
  • Day 7 repeat once

This will add an additional 4 days to the cleanse which will make it a 14 day custom Optimal Cleanse.
