Physiological Detoxification

Our body has to cope daily with a large volume of toxins.  Toxins are poison and if left untreated by the various detoxification systems of our body and not eliminated through our organs of elimination, we would slowly be poisoned, our health would suffer and we would eventually die.

We are exposed to two main types of toxins.  The first is considered normal metabolic waste.  These are toxins normally produced by the various organs and metabolic processes necessary to stay alive.  Carbon dioxide is an example of a metabolic toxin.  This gas is the result of our body using oxygen to create energy.  Carbon dioxide is eliminated every time we exhale.  Our body makes many toxins which need to be neutralized and eliminated.

The other type of toxin our body needs to neutralize and eliminate are toxins from outside our body.  We get these toxins from food, air and even contact on our skin.  In today’s world, the challenge to our body to keep from slowly being poisoned is multi-faceted.

A well-designed purification, cleanse or detoxification program needs to effectively address all of the following:

  • Eliminate or minimize our exposure to toxins for a time to allow for the body to clear out the burden our body is currently dealing with.
  • Support the organs responsible for detoxification and elimination: liver, digestive tract, kidneys, bladder, lymphatic system, lungs and skin
  • Ensure that we supply our body with all the necessary nutrients needed for these organ systems to function and do their job of detoxification and elimination.

The more unhealthy a person is, the more likely they are to suffer from essential vitamin, mineral and phytonutrient deficiency and insufficiency.  This compromises the body in two ways:

  • without proper nutrition, the body is stressed and more internal toxins are produced
  • without proper nutrition, the organ systems necessary to detoxify and eliminate can not do their job.

Junk food consists of dead and empty calories, over-processed, nutrient-depleted, chemically-laden stuff (not food), which contributes to both the toxic load and lack of nutrition necessary to eliminate toxins from the body.In this situation, the problem becomes a cycle that just keeps getting worse.

The lack of optimal nutrition also usually results from someone eating more junk food, which consists of dead and empty calories, over-processed, nutrient-depleted, chemically-laden stuff (not food).  This contributes to both the toxic load and lack of nutrition necessary to eliminate toxins from the body.

Our bodies are exposed to so many chemicals that it was never created to have to deal with.  Pesticides, preservatives, artificial flavors and colors, house hold chemicals, industrial chemicals, fake fats (margarine and shortenings), fake sugars (high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners), hormones and medicines – and the list seems endless.

Common symptoms of toxicity:

  • Weight gain
  • Food cravings
  • Poor digestion
  • Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
  • Low libido
  • Reduced mental clarity
  • Skin problems
  • Hormone issues
  • Headaches
  • Allergies
  • Chronic infections
  • Numerous other health complaints…

In fact, if you have ever been to a doctor with a real complaint and concern – the “I just don’t feel good anymore” – or “I shouldn’t feel this way” – and were told your blood test looks normal and everything seems fine – you are most-likely dealing with a state of toxicity.

Unless the doctor you consulted with is trained to look for and identify these problems, they will be missed and you will continue to suffer until your body can’t cope anymore and you are diagnosed with a condition and given a drug for it.  The drug only complicates the problem by not addressing the cause of the problem and contributing to the toxic burden of the body.

By following a proven and scientifically designed plan to help you eliminate toxins and support your organs and systems of detoxification and elimination, you can make a huge difference in your health and start back to supporting your body to achieve true wellness.Healthy nutrition can help reduce toxins in your body.
