Why isn’t Accommodation included in the
Programme cost?
We have a variety of different levels of accommodation, and
want people to have a free choice. Also, we have a number of guests who come
here just to relax and do not undertake a programme. And there are
occasional guests who choose to stay elsewhere for various reasons.
Residents of Phuket often join us for programmes, and in many cases choose
to stay in their own homes.

Why haven’t I heard about Cleansing before, and
why is it so popular now?
For a period of time people put their faith in the medical
profession to such a degree that they stopped questioning what was best for
themselves. Now people have ready access to information through the
internet, and in many cases are better informed about their conditions than
their GP. As more people undertake cleanses and experience the benefits of
our programmes, they share this information with friends and family. When
people return home looking and feeling so much better, others want to know
how they did it.
Top of page
Why can’t I do this at home, why do I need to
pay you to do this?
You can do this at home and we encourage you to do so. It is
our intention to release a home-based cleansing kit in 2008 to facilitate
this. Most people prefer to undertake at least their first programme under
professional care and supervision. Others find that participating in a group
environment is more supportive than attempting to complete a programme at
home with all the usual temptations and distractions.

Why would I choose Atmanjai to do my programme?
We have the most experienced and supportive team in Thailand,
and are the only center providing these services in Phuket with a beachfront
location. Phuket is renowned globally for its magnificent beaches, 5 star
golf courses, spectacular diving and other attractions. Phuket also offers
world class dental and medical services at a fraction of the cost in the
rest of the world, enabling you to address overdue treatments conveniently
and cost-effectively.

What are the main differences between Atmanjai
and other “Healing Centers”?
Unlike other centers we accept only 12 clients at any time on
our programme. This allows us to offer the highest levels of education,
training and support during your cleanse.
No other center anywhere in the world offers a programme as comprehensive as
our “Master Cleanse Programme”. Many centers will offer additional
therapies, treatments and gimmicks that are simply not necessary.
No other programme we are aware of can generate the results that the “Master
Cleanse” does.
Top of page
What does Atmanjai mean?
It is a combination of Thai and Sanskrit words that can mean
either “Loving Spirit” or “Victorious Soul”. For us, it is a daily reminder
of how we want to conduct ourselves and our business of caring for people.
It is also reflective of our belief in the mind-body-spirit continuum.
Top of page
Does that mean Atmanjai is run under religious
principles?
No, we operate holistically, without allegiance to or judgment
of any faith or religion. Having said that, we do believe that there is some
great wisdom in the teachings of most faiths and we respect those.

How do I get off this fast?
First, let it be known that none of our programmes are true
fasts. A fast means complete abstinence from nutrients. These are cleansing
programmes and the way to transition is with soft fruits like peaches, soft
apricots, papaya, etc. Shredded, wilted carrots can be taken and also
slightly wilted apples. You should also have a steamed vegetable – but not
potato. Between meals you can have vegetable broth or raw vegetable juice.
Full details are included in your Guide to Cleansing.

I’d like to do some activities and tours while
on this programme, is that OK?
The more rest you give your body the better. Take a short walk,
visit the beach. After your colemas you should lay down for at least half an
hour. Do not plan a vigorous schedule, rest is most important.
Top of page
How long should I be on your programme?
I recommend the 7 day cleansing, but the length of time is
determined on an individual case-by-case basis.
Top of page
I’m nervous about the colema, is it necessary?
Colemas are essential to the programme, there is no other way
to remove toxic material as quickly as your body will be releasing it.
Top of page
A friend told me she felt weak after the
colema, is that normal?
Colemas are a cleansing treatment, and your body is working to
remove toxins. That’s why she would have felt weak and that’s why it is
important to rest for half an hour after your colema.
Top of page
Someone told me they are doing a different
colema, should I do that too?
For different conditions we will recommend different colemas
from time to time. As examples; vinegar and water colemas can help rid the
bowel of acid and germ life, garlic oil can help eliminate pinworms,
buttermilk can help remove extreme intestinal gas, clay water can be very
soothing, aloe-vera gel and water can be a healer for inflamed tissue of the
colon.
Top of page
Does the bowel become better using colemas?
The intestine and bowel are best cared for through colemas and
eventually they become stronger. The tone built up will be transferred to
the whole bowel. The most difficult to care for is the ascending colon. As
you develop better bowel tone, better bowel movements are attained and there
is less toxic material to deal with, so the tissue becomes better.
Top of page
What other supplements should be taken on your
programmes?
Supplements provided during our programme should be taken
because they have individual and collective cleansing properties. After the
programme it is best to use colostrum for 2-3 months to have good natural
bowel movements. Colostrum is natural fluid that comes in mother’s milk
after giving birth. It starts the natural bowel movement in the baby and
sets up intestinal flora for good movements.
Top of page
Why are we drinking the honey/vinegar mixture?
It helps to do some of the work that hydrochloric acid does in
the stomach in digesting proteins. It stirs up the acid/alkaline balance in
the body to throw off more acids through the urine.
Top of page
Should I continue with the vinegar and honey
when I return home?
If you continue taking psyllium and the vinegar and honey drink
twice a day, morning and night after completing the programme, you will
further maximize the cleansing benefits. You can continue in this manner for
several months.
Top of page
I’ve noticed on the programme that my heart
seems to be pounding, could it be overworking?
It could be that your body is working hard detoxifying and you
should rest as much as possible. The pounding could also be caused by gas
pressure.
Top of page
Will taking too much calcium cause muscle
cramps?
It can. Follow the instructions, and if taking calcium
supplements after the programme, know that calcium can be controlled by good
stomach digestion. Iodine controls calcium. Greens, tops of vegetables also
control calcium. To be effective, calcium must be taken with magnesium to be
properly assimilated.
Top of page
What can I do to make my body absorb proteins
better?
Emotional strain breaks down this ability more than anything.
Relax and renew. Then you need to get sodium back into the stomach wall to
help digest protein. One of the easiest methods is to not eat starches and
proteins in the same meal.
Top of page
I’m worried about my weight on your programme?
The weight you lose will be weight you need to lose. You will
keep hydrated, and you will receive excellent nutrition via supplementation.
The weight you will lose is primarily from compacted waste in your colon.
Some people will gain weight as a result of our programmes. When their body
is cleansed the organs can begin metabolizing food correctly, thereby
providing them better nutrition.

What is a Bali Style Bathroom?
Simply – this is a partially open bathroom. It has high walls and a partial
roof to ensure your privacy, and there is a lockable door between your
bedroom and bathroom for your personal security. It’s a wonderful feeling to
shower with the sense of being outdoors but with the comfort of knowing your
privacy is assured.
