With the economy slowing (or crashing depending on your point of view), and food prices rising, you may be forced to make some tough choices when it comes to what to eat, where to eat it and how to pay for it. Can you still afford to buy nutritious fresh food, which is notoriously more expensive, or will you turn to more calorie-dense, less nutritious packaged foods? Will you “dine” at fast food restaurants more often, eating their high-fat, high-sugar but low-price offerings? Recent articles in the Los Angeles Times and on MSNBC.com address this issue.

If you are an advocate of using natural remedies and you suffer from chronic heart failure, there’s good news on the beneficial effects of the herbal extract hawthorn. A recent analysis of 14 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies (the best types of medical studies available) found that oral preparations using hawthorn leaf and flower extracts improved both symptoms and heart function in patients with chronic heart failure.

• Most of the people in the 14 medical studies were receiving hawthorn in addition to other prescription medications
• While heart failure can come on from “out of the blue,” it is most often associated with other chronic medical conditions […]

This is the scientific study on the Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse program. I have quoted it verbatim and only added bolding to emphasise the headings, etc. I plan on posting some comments ont this when I get a chance, but for now here it is.
