 It
is estimated that about 20 million pounds of mercury flows into the sea
each year, about half form industrial and ahlf form natural sources. 250,000
pounds per year are used by dentists in the United States alone. Mercury
is very poisonous in all forms. Cadmium is now everywhere: In the air,
in water, in our food. Every day we consume about 20 micro grams into our
body. The symptoms of chronic cadmium intoxication are: high blood pressure,
sore joints, back pain, osteoporoses, anemia, and decreased fertility.
As early as 1974 in Florence, Italy, at the Congress of the World Health
Organization, attention was drwn to the fact that 60-80% of the environmental
toxins, which includes heavy metals, contribute to many diseases like neuro-dermitis,
autoimmune disorders, allergies etc. Research in Switzerland has shown
that chelate-assisted elimination of lead may reduce the occurrence of
certain cancers by as much as 90%.
Detoxification Process Explained
--- Detoxication
Methods and Products
 Dr.
Ted H Spence, DDS, ND, PhD/DSc, MPH - "Detoxification comes in many
forms and refers to many different programs that
cleanse the body of toxins. Today, our environment is toxic and the foods
we eat, even the air we breathe and the water we drink is laden with chemicals
foreign to our system. Therefore, everyone is undergoing some type of detoxification
to maintain life and health. Although basic detoxification begins with
diet, detox programs may include nutritional fortification for the liver,
lungs, kidneys, bowels and blood. Detoxification for the body may
refer to the cleansing of the bowels, kidneys, lungs, the liver or the
blood, since these are the organs involved in detoxification of chemicals
and toxins from the body. The liver acts as an in-line filter for the removal
of foreign substances and wastes from the blood. The kidneys filter wastes
from the blood into the urine, while the lungs remove volatile gases as
we breathe." more
Dr. Susan Lark M.D - "Drinking four to six glasses
of alkaline water a day will help to neutralize
over acidity and over time will help to restore your buffering ability.
Alkaline water should be used when conditions of over acidity develop,
such as cold, flu or bronchitis. Like vitamins C, E and Beta Carotene,
alkaline water acts as an antioxidant because of its excess supply of free
electrons. This can help the body against the development of heart disease,
strokes, immune dysfunctions, and other common ailments." It is well known
that the average city water today contains over 500 chemicals that do not
belong in it. Part of this is due to the fact that most delivery systems
in the U.S. include cement, asbestos pipes, cast iron, PVC (porous to certain
solvents, herbicides and pesticides) and that lead, cadmium and other toxic
metals leach out of valves and couplings of pipes between a water treatment
plant and a faucet in the home. Ionized
Alkaline Water helps to naturally flush toxins and acidic waste from
your body and is a powerful antioxidant. Water is one of the best
sources for detoxification. Ionized Alkaline Water makes more oxygen available
to your cells than distilled, reverse osmosis, filtered only, bottled or
tap water. Cancer doesn't thrive in an oxygenated body. Alkaline
Ionized Water will help to optimize your body's pH. You could try
to achieve an alkaline state with foods but alkaline water will turbo charge
your efforts. As a result, it enables your body to better absorb
and utilize nutrients, minerals and supplements.
J. K.Paulsen, M.D. - "The body naturally manufactures fat in
abundance to incarcerate and absorb chemicals and toxins
that accumulate over time. As you cleanse the body, one can expect fat
and inches to be substantially reduced." - J. K.Paulsen,
M.D. is a Bariatric Physician and a member of the American Society of Bariatric
Physicians
Linda Page P.h.D.- Chemicals are polluting the earth's environment
faster than the human organism can adapt to them. Toxinsare
building up and our bodies are becoming filters trapping the pollutants.
The current level of chemicals in our air, food and water supply alters
us at the most basic level - our enzymes, then spreads throughout every
body function to lower our threshold of resistance to disease." Detoxication
Methods and Products
A report released by the Pesticide Action
Network North America and Commonweal finds that Americans can
experience up to 70 daily exposures to residues of a class of toxic chemicals
known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including such chemicals
as DDT and dioxin, through their diets. The report, "Nowhere to Hide: Persistent
Toxic Chemicals in the U.S. Food Supply," analyzes chemical residue data
collected by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and finds persistent
chemical contaminants in ALL food groups. Exposure to POPs has been linked
to serious diseases and developmental disorders, including:
Breast and other types of cancer
Immune system suppression
Nervous system disorders
Reproductive damage
Disruption of hormonal systems
Modern cosmetics
contain a host of dubious ingredients that would be more at home in a test
tube than on our faces.Coal tar colors, phenylenediamine, benzene, even
formaldehyde, are just a few of the synthetic chemicals commonly included
in shampoos, skin creams and blushes - toxins which are absorbed into your
skin with every use.
Naturopaths who hold that illness can be healed by the natural processes
of the body are the most vigorous supporters of detoxification,
since they believe that the primary cause of disease is the accumulation
of uneliminated wastes. When the body's natural cleansing systems are no
longer up to the task, proponents of detoxification say everyone should
detoxify at some point.
They back up their argument by listing the various symptoms of toxicity
which include headache, fatigue, congestion, backaches, aching or swollen
joints, digestive problems, allergy symptoms, and sensitivity to chemicals,
perfumes, and synthetics. Others list constipation, hemorrhoids, mood changes,
ulcers, psoriasis, and acne as common symptoms. The benefit common to using
one of the many detoxification therapies available, say its proponents,
is that they all put the body, and especially its digestive tract, on vacation.
In other words, by cleansing the body of built-up poisons and not adding
more to the mix, we reduce the stress on the immune system and therefore
promote healing and good health. Specifically, advocates of detoxification
therapies claim increased vitality, reduced blood pressure and blood fats,
and improved assimilation of vitamins and minerals.
Toxic intestinal cells can result in poor absorption of nutrients, a
“leaky gut” wall, or sluggish
bowel movements and food allergies. Since over 70% of our immune system
is in the lining of the small intestine (called the GALT, Gut Associated
Lymphoid Tissue), our overall immunity may be compromised because of the
toxic intestinal cells.
Detoxification is essential for good health to exist. Our body must
eliminate toxins daily or we would die immediately. Since our environment
is more toxic today, our livers are over stressed with environmental toxins
to deal with daily. Processing other toxins, when the liver is stressed,
may be delayed. Detoxification is also a lifestyle change. For it is by
the way we live that determines our health and how our liver processes
toxins. Detoxication

 Natural
Detoxification Jacqueline Krohn M.D.
The human body continually detoxifies itself, getting rid of the poisons
that assault it from both without and within. This book explains what toxins
are, why plants and animals produce them, and how the body resolves its
"internal trash-removal problem.". The book gives understanding and
guidance to people with often misunderstood chronic conditions. According
to Dr. Jacqueline Krohn, "Cleansing toxins from the body can dramatically
increase the quality of life." In Natural Detoxification, a range of techniques
described can help improve digestion, clear the sinuses, normalize blood
pressure, improve mental clarity and memory; and stabilize emotional and
hormonal fluctuations -- all achieved through detoxification. In addition,
the authors suggest that detoxification can improve the effectiveness of
many healing treatments. Dental amalgam, the
material in “silver” tooth fillings, contains approximately 50 per cent
of the highly toxic heavy metal mercury. But is it safe to put so much
Mercury, the most toxic non-radioactive metal known to man, into the mouth
of a person? Detoxification is a normal body process
of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys,
lungs, lymph and skin. Internal detoxification is one of our body's most
basic automatic functions but in our world today, body systems and organs
that were once capable of cleaning out unwanted substances are now completely
overloaded; thus many unwanted substances stay in our tissues.

 The
Road To Better Health may begin with a Healing Crisis A
healing crisis is also known as the Herxheimer Reaction
which
occurs when the body is detoxifying too rapidly and toxins
are being released faster than the body can eliminate them. As you move
toward better health with natural healing programs and better nutrition,
healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process the body will begin
to discard toxic residues which have built up in your body over the years.
The healing process usually does not occur without repercussions. During
the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house, (detoxify)
and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuildinternal organs, you
may experience headache, uneasiness, flu like symptoms and fatigue.
H. Reg McDaniel, MD - "The human body has an amazing cleansing
system for eliminating toxins that accumulate in the body. This system
can also become inefficient and allow toxins to build up and be stored,
especially in body fat, rather than be eliminated. Once this natural cleansing
system begins to work more efficiently, reactions can occur. These reactions
result from the stored toxins begin released faster than the liver, kidneys,
skin and lungs can remove them from the body. These reactions can include
loss of appetite, nausea, headaches and swelling in various lymph glands
throughout the body."
Dr. Mercola - "Every act of every cell in the body produces waste.
This waste is poisonous, it is incompatible with the life of the cell..."
"The cells throw their waste into the lymph that carries it back to the
blood. The blood takes the waste to the excretory organs mentioned above
for elimination." "Normal elimination keeps the blood and lymph clean."

Alteratives
/ Blood Purifiers Alteratives are herbs which alter
(purify) the blood. Most herbs for blood purification promote the cleaning
action of the spleen, liver, kidneys and bowels. These herbs should be
used over a long period of time, allowing gradual detoxification of the
entire blood stream which in turn, will improve digestion, assimilation
and glandular secretions. Bad habits and poor diet must be corected to
remove the cause of the toxicity of the blood. Infections, cancer, arthritis
and skin disease are some of the diseases caused by impure blood.

Herxheimer Reaction
(The Healing Crisis)
The Herxheimer Reaction occurs when the body is detoxifying too rapidly
and toxins are being released faster than the body can eliminate them.[v]
When this occurs, one will suffer from headaches, nausea, vomiting, and
malaise. Even though this is but a short period of the health program,
it can be severe and deter one from reaching their intended goals.
Also, the person may not know what they are experiencing and think that
they are regressing.
To minimize the Herxheimer Reaction:
Drinks lots of pure alkaline ionized water
Get minimal exercise daily
Lots of sunshine
Take detoxification slowly ... one step at a time
Don’t increase the dose of herbals
Keep the organs of elimination (bowels, lungs, skin, kidneys) open
Take detox baths
Use aromatherapy
oils for aches -like peppermint, birch, and wintergreen
Sweat by using exercise, saunas, baths, and herbs
Avoid foreign chemicals and refined processed foods
If the Herxheimer reaction occurs, cut back on your health detoxification
program. Reduce the dose of herbs and follow the above outline to reduce
the symptoms of toxin elimination. The more toxins there are to eliminate,
the sicker one is when they come out. Generally, one will feel better when
all is over and health is restored again. Just remember, don’t give up.

 Toxic
Overload: A Doctor's Plan for Combating the Illnesses Caused by Chemicals
in Our Foods, Our Homes, and Our Medicine Cabinets Dr. Baillie-Hamilton
An environmental health specialist at Stirling University in Scotland,
Baillie-Hamilton details how toxins may be linked to dozens of serious
health problems, including immune system diseases, neurological disorders,
digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, cardio-vascular diseases, cancer,
hyper-sensitivity, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders and childhood health
problems. "These chemicals are simply not going to go away," Institute
reports "pesticides are a likely cause of immune suppression for millions
of people throughout the world" and that 25% of the chemicals in the environment
are neurotoxins linked to increased incidence of brain disease.
Dr. Steve Nugent - "Without exception, every North American
now has in his or her tissues 300-500 known toxins that were not in existence
before 1940. So, where has all the poison come from? Shortages of natural
materials during WWII prompted the creation of synthetic chemicals. For
example, scientists developed nylon when they ran out of silk for parachutes.
Natural rubber ran in short supply, so they developed synthetic rubber.
A shortage of butter produced oleomargarine. Plastics were developed during
this time period. Toxins are everywhere. The problem is not confined to
North America, although the studies have been done in the USA and Canada.
Because of the nature of wind, rain and weather, we know that the entire
planet is surrounded with toxins. Almost every known toxin and farm pesticide
on the planet can be found in places as remote as the North Pole. Scientists
doing studies there drilled through the polar ice cap, sank a camera through
the pole, and found nearly a foot of brownish greenish goop that, similar
to many industrial chemicals, refused to freeze. Contained in the muck
were DDT, dioxin, and PCB's as well as hundreds of other chemicals. Ours
is a closed eco-system....which we cannot escape. The studies identify
up to 500 toxins. It should be known that the instruments were calibrated
for up to a maximum of 500 toxins "
Mercury Exposure - Dr. Klinghardt and Dr. Patricia Kane lecture

"In all chronic diseases heavy metals play a role. Heavy metals lead

treat these infections without changing the milieu. We all have neuro toxins
in our body. Under these neuro toxins mercury
has
a special importance, because it prevents detoxification. When mercury
is removed, then the other toxins tumble out. Neuro toxins lead to "Neurotoxine

F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.
- "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water.
Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and
chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water
to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive
the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic
waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the
body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient
water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system
kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are
activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken
areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across
pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research
that I mentioned earlier."
Benefits of Alkaline, Ionized
Water, by Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D.
Water has the ability to attract and accumulate bio-energy. It also
stores an energy memory of harmful or helpful vibrations to which it was
exposed in the past. Chlorinated tap water is polluted with non-biological
chemicals and negative energy imprints. It is also devoid of bio-energy
and so may be regarded as being badly polluted as well as 'dead'. Alkaline
living water is regarded by a growing number of health care professionals
as the best water to drink and is listed as a medical device in Japan for
the treatment of degenerative diseases.
Joseph
M. Price, MD - "Chlorine

Matthew Silver, MD
- "An associate in her early fifties who had suffered for many years from
the toxic effects of chlorine poisoning from inhaling vapors from
an over-chlorinated swimming pool. This had resulted in many severe
health challenges including extreme chronic fatigue and breathing difficulty
that kept her housebound and dependent on oxyn. Even minimal exertion led
to extreme shortness of breath. After just three days of drinking glyconutrients,
she reported that all of her symptoms improved dramatically and that she
was able to leave her house without oxygen and work in her garden, which
she had not been able to do in years." The sugars found on all Glyconutrients
(saccharides) also address the workings of the brain and nervous system

Could Detoxification be the Fountain of
Youth?
By Natasha Lee
Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research
performed an amazing experiment in the early 1900's. He managed to sustain
the life of cells from a chicken embryo by immersing it in a solution containing
all the nutrients necessary for life and changing the solution daily. The
cells took up nutrients from the nutrient-rich broth and excreted their
wastes into the same solution. The only thing Dr. Carrel did each day was
discard the old solution and replace it with fresh nutrient solution. The
chicken cells lived for 29 years until one night Dr. Carrel's assistant
forgot to change the polluted solution! We do not know how much longer
the cell's life could have been maintained.
Dr. Carrel concluded at the end of his experiment that the cell is actually
immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats which degenerates.
He is quoted saying "The cell is immortal, renew this fluid at intervals,
give the cell something on which to feed and, so far as we know, the pulsation
of life may go on forever." The average chicken lives about 7 years. His
detoxified, properly nourished chicken cell lived for 29 years.
It may be hard to believe that the a body could live indefinitely, however,
a similar level of vibrant health and life extension can be created in
humans by following the obvious similar principal.
Every cell in our body excretes waste material which becomes toxic,
and poisonous to our bodies if we allow it to build up faster than we renew
the fluid in which it floats. According to the above experiment, this is
the cause of aging and degeneration. Factors such as "time" and ideas such
as " that's just life" fade from the picture, with new data in view. The
fact is, every 7 years we have a completely new set of bones, teeth, skin
and hair. Logically, a person should be able to look and feel better than
they did 7 years ago by changing and improving the way they take care of
their own body as Dr. Carrel took care of his chicken cell.
Time alone is not a disease or poison, it is the toxins that accumulate
with time that the body cannot withstand and so deteriorates from. In other
words, time alone is not the cause of death. Poisons are the cause of death
of life forms.
 So,
logically and from the above data by detoxifying your cells a person can
freshen up and grow healthier and younger than they once were by practicing
this principle. Periodically detoxifying the body, drinking lots of fresh
water and staying smart on nutrition can appear to work miracles. Dr. Carrel
however proved these amazing results are not miracles, just good science.

"Every day we are exposed to toxins in one form or another. We encounter
them
in the air we breath, the food we eat, and the water we drink. The environment
is filled with natural and manmade toxins. Even our own bodies produce
toxic metabolic waste. While our immune system can detoxify and eliminate
many of the toxins we are exposed to each day, it can only do so much.
If we are exposed to more toxins than our immune system can process and
eliminate, these toxins accumulate in body tissues. As toxins accumulate
in our bodies, cells and tissues begin to degenerate. When this happens
symptoms arise." Dr. Bruce Fife
http://jctonic.com/include/healingcrisis/04howtoxicareyou.htm
We live in a toxic world. Environmental pollution and disease-causing
germs assault us continually day after day. Our food is nutrient deficient

The
Detox Diet : A How-To and When-T0 Guide for Cleansing the Body by Elson
M. Haas
Many of the health problems in Western society stem from excessive use
of food and drugs. Abuses and addictions touch almost every persons life;
they develop along with other responses to stress from family, work, school,
or the world at large. In exploring his concerns about abuse and the way
it affects health, Dr. Haas has developed a specific orientation and program
for initial healing and detoxification. This process has evolved over his
25 years as a naturally-based general health practitioner. He also includes
a section on fasting and juice cleansing including the benefits, the specific
process, and hazards to watch for.
Practical
Hints for a Detoxifying Regime
by Dr. Kiki Sidhwa, N.D., D.O., D.N.H.
"I have no doubt in my mind that long fasts have the best results in
chronic ailments. But not many people have the time or inclination nor
the necessary grit and commitment to undertake such a fast. For those who
want to detoxify themselves the following practical suggestions will go
a long way in helping them to detoxify."
Therapeutic
Fasting
Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting
triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to
each and every cell and tissue in the body.
Internal Cleansing The first step in anyones health program is to clean
and open up all the elimination organs Weak and congested liver, gallbladder,
bowels or kidneys can be the cause of many chronic health problems by causing
toxic and putrid waste to be absorbed into the rest of our system. Over
the course of time, this effects the functioning of every cell and organ
in our body. It poisons the blood, lymphatic system, nervous system and
brain, while clogging up the heart, vascular system, lungs and sinuses."
Many times the real cause behind sickness and disease is this retention
and reabsorption of these toxic wastes.
The best of all medicines are rest and fasting.
---Benjamin Franklin
Marine Plants
To Boost Immunity and Detoxify
"There is no family of foods more protective against radiation and
environmental pollutants than sea vegetables ... sea vegetables can prevent
assimilation of different radionuclitides, heavy metals such as cadmium,
and other environmental toxins." Steven Schecter, N.D.
Healing Clay - Healing Earth
Clay is renowned to have many uses in promoting health in plants, animals
and humans. Bentonite, Montmorillonite, Pascalite, as well as other types
of healing clays, have been used by indigenous cultures since before recorded
history. Studies show that the use of volcanic ash clay internally
goes back to the Indians of the high Andes mountains, tribes in Central
Africa and the aborigines of Australia. Taken internally, it supports the
intestinal system in the elimination of toxins. The application of clay
has achieved miraculous healing of Buruli Ulcer - mycobacterium ulcerans
which is similar to leprosy and tuberculosis mycobacterium or flesh eating
disease. more
Toxic Metals - A Cause of Autistic Spectrum
Disorders and ADD/PDD? Nancy Hallaway's twin boys were diagnosed
as hyperactive with Attention Deficit Disorder and severe autistic tendencies.
Her doctor found unacceptable levels of lead, arsenic, aluminum and cadmium
in their bodies, and his treatments led to immediate and spectacular improvement
in both children.
Detoxifying
with Chlorella
There have been numerous studies on Chlorella's detoxifying effect
on cadmium, heavy metals, PCBs, and chlordecone (a harmful insecticide).
In addition there have been recent findings of chlorella's potential radioprotective
effect against Gamma-rays.
In 1984, Drug and Chemical Toxicology published a study by Dr. Pore
of the West Virginia University, School of Medicine, in which chlorella
administered to rats increased the rate of detoxification of chlordecone
(a harmful insecticide). It was shown that chlorella caused the toxin to
be removed from the body more than twice as fast as the control group.
Dr. Pore found two active absorbing mechanisms in chlorella; sporopollenin
(a carotene-like polymer) and the cell wall itself.
 In
1975, Japanese researchers, Hagino et al., found that chlorella increased
excretion of cadmium in individuals suffering from cadmium poisoning. Dr.Steenblock
sites other examples of Chlorella's ability to detoxify in his book Chlorella
Natural Medicinal Algae: In one study "brewer's yeast culture was poisoned
and killed by the addition of P.C.B., mercury, copper and cadmium. When
Chlorella extract was added to these toxic substances, the brewer's yeast
remained alive!" "Other studies have shown that chlorella cell walls absorb
and hang onto uranium and lead." "Chlorella has been used to detoxify people
suffering from P.C.B. exposure. Doctor Ueda of the Kitakyushu City Institute
for Environmental Pollution Research in Japan gave 30 patients who suffered
from P.C.B. exposure, daily doses of 4-6 grams of Chlorella for a one year
period. As a result almost all improved (less tired, better digestion,
normal bowel movements)"
Chlorella to Remove Mercury and Pesticides
Dr. Mercola - "Chlorella is an incredibly powerful nutrient from
the sea and is a form of algae. I use it quite a bit for mercury detoxification
as it binds very strongly to mercury to eliminate it from the body. Chlorella
also is a useful source of chlorophyll, and it adds magnesium and protein
to the juice. Binds to other heavy metals and pesticides in the juice.
The normal dose is one teaspoon in the juice. However, about 30% of people
cannot tolerate the chlorella, so if it makes you nauseous you should definitely
avoid it. Spirulina is another algae that has
many similar benefits and is a good balance to chlorella. However it does
not bind to heavy metals like chlorella."

High
doses of chlorella have been found to be very effective in Germany for
mercury elimination.
Chlorella is an important
part of the systemic mercury elimination program, as approximately 90%
of the mercury is eliminated through the stool. Using large doses of chlorella
facilitates fecal mercury excretion. After the intestinal mercury burden
is lowered, mercury will more readily migrate into the intestine from other
body tissues from where chlorella will effectively remove it.
Dr.
Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton
contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health
by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally.
Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods
on the planet". Containing a
wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll,
enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains
optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body.
Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations
that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens
increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use
oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening
the heart and circulation. more about marine

Detoxification
By Ted H Spence, DDS, ND,
PhD/DSc, MPH
Our body is designed to utilize
natural substances, which includes foods, herbs and phytochemicals. Any
foreign substance will serve as a stimulus to our immune system, which
has the function of removing these substances. Although the toxicity of
a chemical may vary, it is the job of the liver to reduce toxins into compounds
that the body can safely handle and eliminate through the kidneys (as urine),
skin (as sweat), lungs (as expelled air) and bowels (as feces). Maintaining
these eliminative organs in good working order is essential for one’s good
health to continue.
While there are many detoxification
programs available, they differ in their actions and their intent. Some
detoxification programs (DP) work only with the bowels, others may cleanse
the liver or the blood, and others may aid the kidneys or the skin in their
functions. By combining these detox programs into a total health program,
one can effectively restore their health to an optimal level and look younger
in the process. When the body can eliminate toxins, then health is restored
and energy and vigor are revitalized. Many different approaches to detoxification
and wellness will work, even though they attack the problem at different
levels. Any program that augments detoxification will improve health. Other
factors must be considered in detoxification, like nutrition, water, and
exercise, rest, sunshine, and fresh air.
Detoxification Diets:
Detoxification diets help
the body to eliminate toxins in many ways. First, natural vegetarian diets
include the fiber needed for stimulating good bowel eliminate. They also
contain the proper amounts of vitamins that feed and nourish the bowels
and the liver, as well as other eliminative organs. They also include a
valuable source of enzymes since most vegetarian diets are eaten raw. The
elimination of meat from the diet for a short period enhances detoxification
because meat is so difficult to digest and requires many enzymes for its
digestion. Therefore, vegetarian diets are cleansing diets and aid the
body in elimination of toxins.
Of course, changing diets
and lifestyle is easier said than done for some people. Many people want
health and will go to any length to improve their health, including dietary
changes. But there are others who do not want to change their life style
for anything. These people will be difficult to motivate and will not stick
with the detox programs for one day. They may not want to give up their
sodas, or their cigarettes, their beer or their coffee. They may
make a few changes, like drinking more water, or they may give up completely
in a very short notice. Our way of eating has been cultivated over many
years and will not change over night. But to those who do want better health
and do not want to rely on pills/drugs for their existence, nutritional
changes will be welcomed, especially when they start feeling better and
having more energy.
Diets are very important
and are usually the basis for any detox program, whether it is herbs, cleansing
or other detox programs.[i] Detox diets will generally eliminate trigger
foods, which may cause many problems with digestion and elimination. Foods
like wheat (glutens) and dairy (milk, cheese) are often the cause of allergies.
Sugar is eliminated because of its “empty calories” and tendency to produce
hypoglycemia. Meats are eliminated because they may contain hormones, antibiotics
and are difficult to digest. Caffeine is wise to avoid, since it has many
ill effects on the body’s digestion. Refined, processed and junk foods
are also out for any detox program to work. (more
on detox diet)
Herbal Detoxification:
Generic diets for detoxification
are good, but may not stimulate the liver, lungs or the kidneys as much
as one would like. Therefore, herbal cleanses are indicated when we want
to hone our cleanse to a “sharp edge” and be organ specific. Of course,
herbs are foods too and provide one with vitamins, minerals and enzymes
for excellent nutrition. Herbs are powerful, because they may be combined
together to fortify those herbs that aid specific organs. For example,
herbal combinations that aid the liver may be found in many organic food
stores. The list below shows how herbal combinations help the various
organs.
Skin Cleansing:
Detoxification should include
some type of skin cleansing, because our skin it one of our best eliminative
organs. Heavy metals are actually released through the skin’s pores when
we sweat. Sauna baths and steam rooms are great for removing toxins from
the skin and regenerating one’s health and energy. It has been documented
that our skin’s sweat glands when combined can perform as much detoxification
as one (or both) kidneys. Therefore, it is very important to support our
skin for detoxification to be maximal. If our kidneys are damaged, then
helping the skin will help the kidneys ... indirectly, but effectively.
Good skin care is in order,
if one’s health is to benefit, also. Using chemicalized skin care products
is not wise, even though they are cheaper. These chemicals may be absorbed
into our circulation and provide more “toxins” for our liver to deal with.
We are not made out of cast iron, and even the chemicals in our soaps and
shampoos will make a difference with our health. Most people do not “see”
the ill effects of these subtle chemicals, because their liver is able
to metabolize them. But, individuals who are environmentally toxic will
see a great change in their health when using natural soaps and shampoos.
We should take their advice and use only natural skin care products also.
Cleansing our skin is rather
simple. First, we need to bathe daily using natural soaps. Then we need
to care for the skin by using only natural oils and products of natural
origin. Even the clothes we wear can make a big difference in our health.
Synthetic fibers do not absorb sweat (toxins), while natural fibers, like
cotton, will absorb toxins. Dry skin brushing helps in removing the outer
dead skin layers and keeps the pores open. Another good method of skin
brushing is with vigorous toweling off after bathing. Towel roughly until
the skin is slightly red. Change towels often because they will contain
toxins.
Good skin care also requires
good nutrition.[ii] Since our skin is mainly fat, we need high quality
fats and oil from natural sources to give our skin health. Butter and olive
oil are two excellent natural oils, which keep the skin in good condition.
As always, the fats/oils should be natural ... only.
Detoxification
Baths:
Use ½ cup of baking
soda or use ½ cup of Epsom salt or use ½ cup of sea salt.
Soak for 15-20 minutes and then scrub the skin gently with soap on a natural
fiber. Within a few minutes the water will turn murky and “dirty.” The
darkness to the water is heavy metals coming out of the skin (aluminum
and mercury). Do this once a week during detox and once a month for maintenance.

Pure
Inside Out - a fabulous detox resource website There is undeniably
a lot of hype and a lot of confusion about the why and the how of detox.
A whole new thriving industry is now based on detox aids. While some of
these might genuinely work, unfortunately a good number are just a useless
waste of time, energy and money. The detox industry has capitalised on
our fear and bewilderment in the face of the countless toxin-related health
scares promoted by the media on a daily basis. Some argue that the origin
of all disease is an accumulation of toxins in the body, while others completely
reject this theory. Some traditional doctors even claim that detox is just
another fad. more
Juice
Fasting:
Fasting with vegetable juices
can be another excellent way to develop good health and cleanse the body
of toxins. Juices, minus their pulp (fiber), contain an excellent source
of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. When the pulp is not added, one is able
to drink more juice than they are able to eat. For example, one can easily
consume the juice of several heads of lettuce in one sitting, but may not
be able to eat the lettuce whole. This allows the body to get an abundance
of nutrients with minimal processing (digestion). Fasting on mono-juices
also allows the body proper time to process these juices and helps to preserve
our valuable digestive enzymes.
Juice fasting has helped
many people over come serious diseases like cancer, because it gave them
optimal nutrition and allowed the body to cleanse itself of toxins. [According
to many nutritionists, cancer is merely a toxic condition.] With some juicers,
the pulp is discarded, but it may be saved and added back for fiber (not
too much). Juices contain good sources of antioxidants and enzymes, both
of which are needed for cleansing and eliminating toxins. Juices are also
easy to digest and help those with digestive problems. (more
on the healing power of fasting)
Flora:
Our bowel flora is also important
for detoxification and normal health.
Probiotics
is the term given to the normal bowel flora, which are taken as supplements.
It has been found that these normal flora actually defend our body from
the pathogenic species of bacteria and perform many vital functions, such
as detoxification of toxic chemicals and making valuable vitamins (mainly
the B vitamins). When our normal flora are present they secrete mediators
in which the pathogenic forms cannot grow. But the reverse is also true,
that when the pathogenic forms take over, they will exclude the normal
flora with their toxins.
Many scientists feel that
it is the toxins secreted from the pathogens and not the pathogens themselves
that create disease. The ability of all bacteria to change and grow under
specific conditions of their immediate environment is called pleiomorphism.
Cell wall deficient forms are “bacteria” which lack a defined cell wall,
yet have all the specifications of being bacterial-like. Even viruses have
been found to exhibit morphological forms, which resemble bacteria and
fungus. While this is not widely accepted by modern medical scientists,
it hass been proven beyond a shadow of doubt by eminent scientists, like
Virginia Livingston Wheeler, Irene Diller, and Royal Rife. Their microscopic
studies have revealed that bacteria and viruses and fungus may be all different
forms of the same organism, differing only by the environment in which
they are grown.
Antibiotics kill off the
good bacteria as well as the bad and allow the bad to repopulate and develop
antibiotic resistance. Natural forms of antibiotics are better, since they
do not kill off the good bacteria with the bad and do not allow drug” resistance
to take place. Garlic, for example, is perhaps, 200 times more effective
against pathogens than most antibiotics today. And it does not produce
antibiotic resistance forms, which is a danger to all our health. As antibiotics
become more widely used, more antibiotic resistant forms will be encountered.
Herbal antiseptics and anti-bacterial tonics are far better and less dangerous
to our over-all health, because they do not kill of the good bacteria with
the bad.
Replacing our natural flora
is a good step for preventing disease and keeping our bowels healthy and
populated with normal flora. Taking Probiotics
containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidus can help us in our detox
program and also in repopulating the gut after a cleanse. Our normal
healthy flora should be a part of any detoxification program. (more
on boosting the immune system with probiotics)
Antioxidants:
The use of antioxidants,
like vitamins A, E and especially C, are very essential for detoxification
since they are involved with the detoxification of toxins. Antioxidants
are involved with helping cells to neutralize free radicals that can cause
mutations and cellular damage. As these free radicals are neutralized,
the antioxidant vitamins will be used and exhibit low levels. Vitamin A
and E are fat soluble and will be found in our fat tissues/stores, but
vitamin C is water soluble and will be found mainly in our skin (between
the cells according to Reams). Vitamin C is also involved with many other
important bodily functions, like collagen formation, wound healing, energy
production and fighting off colds (viruses).
The function of antioxidants
is so important that any deficiency of them will be seen as catastrophic
to one’s health. When our antioxidants are low, energy is not available
and detoxification cannot take place in a normal fashion. Therefore, toxins
accumulate or are stored until they can be processed. The liver and
many other organs are compromised in their functions when antioxidants
are low. Just the lack of energy is enough to cause the body to have compromised
or poor health, because it is energy that is required for the removal of
toxins and wastes. Vitamin C should be taken with bioflavinoids to
ensure that all the components of the vitamin C complex are taken together,
since they work together. Pure ascorbic acid is called vitamin C, but does
little by itself. We tend to think that ascorbic acid as vitamin C, but
it is only part of the vitamin C complex. Vitamin C is very essential to
any detoxification program, because that is what the body uses for energy
to process and eliminate these toxic wastes. Think of vitamin C as the
gas in the dump truck carrying toxins to the waste dump. Without gas the
truck is not going to remove wastes or move at all. Without vitamin
C our body is not going to “dump” its toxic load. Therefore, ensure
adequate vitamin C and always take vitamin C with bioflavinoids for optimal
benefit.
Vitamin C can be taken in
very high doses until the bowel tolerance level [BTL] is achieved. This
BTL is different for different people. Some persons reach tolerance at
4-5 grams (4,000-5,000 mg), while others may not reach tolerance until
10-15 grams (10,000-15,000 mg). Cancer patients notorously can take 20-30
grams (20,000-30,000 mg) of vitamin C before tolerance is reached ... meaning
that they needed more vitamin C than most people. By taking vitamin C to
its tolerance level we find out 1) what our BTL is and 2) how saturated
our body is with Vitamin C. Vitamin C was found by Linus Pauling
and Ewan Cameron to be very effective in helping many patients to over
come that killer disease, called cancer. Perhaps, this was because vitamin
C was needed for detoxification of toxins, which “caused” the cancer in
the first place. Although Pauling and Cameron were greatly criticized for
their work with vitamin C, they were able to help many people overcome
cancer and without compromising their health as toxic chemotherapies often
did.
Enzymes:
The use of enzymes in detoxification
is important, because the body needs an adequate supply of enzymes, not
only for digestion, for also for detoxification.[iii] Enzymes are best
obtained from fresh raw fruits and vegetables, but may be taken daily with
meals as nutritional supplements of multi-digestive enzymes. Enzymes in
our food helps us to digest that food, but many foods today are processed,
refined, heated (cooked), radiated and stored, which destroys enzymes and
leaves it non-vital.[iv] Foods with enzymes destroyed will have a longer
shelf life, but will not give one health when it is eaten.
Fresh raw fruits and vegetables
are the best source for enzymes and help to give one vibrant health.
Enzymes are also used by the body in detoxification of toxic substances.
The liver is the source of most detoxification enzymes, which it must make,
or store. To aid the body in removing and eliminating wastes and toxins,
enzymes are best taken in between meals. This way they do not get involved
with digestion, but go to the liver and to the blood for detoxification.
Many therapies have utilized
enzymes for improving health and enzymes have long been the key to many
detoxification therapies which have helped many to over come that dreaded
disease, cancer. Kelley, Gerson, Moerman, and Neiper used alternative
nutritional therapies with enzymes for curing cancer. The famous Wobe Mugos
enzymes from Europe were utilized with Laetrile therapies for cancer. Never
was Laetrile give alone, but was used with vitamins, diet and enzymes.
This made the Laetrile therapy very successful in the 1970s. If cancer
is a toxic condition, which many feel that it is, then taking enzymes will
help it. And it does.
The use of raw foods in many
detoxification diets are using the enzymes found naturally in those foods.
Additionally, these raw foods provide fiber and, with proper food combining,
will not waste the body enzymes reserves. Preserving enzymes is the key
to over coming disease and living to ripe old age and remaining healthy.
Yes, vitamins and minerals are important, but vitamins are enzyme co-factors
and many minerals are use to activate enzymes. Therefore, the vitamins
and minerals themselves are only augmenting the role of the enzymes which
are detoxifying toxins and supporting metabolism.
Enzymes also help the bowels
in cleansing, because they liquefy the bowel content, which makes transit
much easier. The role of enzymes in digestion is to break down foods for
digestion and absorption. When foods are broken down they become more liquid
and the bowels move much easier and faster. Transit time is decreased and
our health is increased when toxins are removed and eliminated. Perhaps,
this is a link to breaking the “constipation chain.” Enzymes are the key
to health. Preserve our enzymes and we will be healthy for a long time.

Link between Toxic Body and Obesity
Dr. Harper -
"Toxic overload sets the stage for many health challenges. The majority
of the world's population cleanse for good health. By following their example,
we could be healthier and slimmer. After all, cleansing is the key to permanent
weight loss."
Kelly Brownell, PhD -
America
is overlooking the real cause of its ever-expanding waistline. The problem
isn't so much people's lack of self-control, he said. It's a "toxic food
environment"
Most people have become obsessed
with food, never realizing that the body is like a beautiful orchestra
out of tune as a result of improper eating and lifestyle habits that have
contributed to a whole-body system that is constipated and affixiated with
yeast, parasites, chemicals and
toxins. I have experienced out of
pure necessity, first hand the transition from a state of ill health to
the euphoric state of good health through diet, a diet of simply eating
the healthy, cleansing foods that we should have been eating all along.
Your body has naturally shed
the excess pounds and healed itself many times over and has effectively
handled more illnesses and health challenges than any drug. Your body,
over time, is continually adjusting, recovering and healing from some form
of illness and/or injury. The body is continually adapting to its ever-changing
environment and lifestyle eating habits. In fact, the body is a healer
and is masterful at healing itself on its own when provided the right cleansing
and restorative foods at the right time
Toxins in the body obtained
from commercial vegetables, fast foods, breathing dirty air, drinking unpurified
water, and the loss of natural hormones contributes to weight gain, premature
aging and nearly every age-related health problem. Over-eating and
consumption of the wrong types of food also contribute to weight gain and
obesity.
According to "National Geographic,"
studies have discovered various chemicals from our foods and environment
that indicate man contributes 700,000 tons of pollutants into the air every
day, ranging from everyday household cleaners to cosmetics and hair dyes.
 The
Body Restoration Plan: Eliminate Chemical Calories and Restore Your Body's
Natural Slimming System Dr. Baillie-Hamilton, an expert
in human metabolism, argues that our own natural weight-regulation system
is being poisoned by the toxic chemicals we encounter in our everyday lives,
and that this damage makes it increasingly difficult for our bodies to
control and lose weight. Toxins in food, water, air, packaging, cosmetics,
and household products enter our bodies as Chemical Calories, hampering
our metabolic and appetite-regulating systems and making us fatter.
.
Without a nutritionally
rich diet that nourishes and assists the body in cleansing these substances
from the body, the body will lose its strength and vitality. The immune
system will become suppressed, contributing to an increase in illness,
disease and excess body fat - a major killer in America today. These chemicals
and toxins accumulate over time, and cause the liver and kidneys to become
overworked and weak. Research has shown that stress causes the adrenals
to release excess cortisol, a stress hormone that triggers over-indulgence
in simple carbohydrates: chocolate, candy, sodas, and ice cream, even when
you are not hungry. Excess cortisol contributes to hormone imbalances.

Bowel Cleansing:
Keeping the bowels clean and moving is a major step in regaining our
health since the bowels are crucial in the elimination of toxins, especially
those processed by the liver. [The liver dumps in to the bowel via the
gall bladder.] This is why one hears a lot about the bowels, and bowel
cleansing. In severe cases, enemas and colonics may be needed to
breakup and washout long-standing bowel encrustations. Diet may do the
same thing as an enema or colonic, it will just take longer. Also, one
should be very diligent in repopulating after a total washout of the normal
flora and Probiotics
will be necessary to restore that balance.
Constipation is a national pastime and slow bowels are more common today
than years previous. For one thing, people not only ate better 100 years
ago, they were more active and got out doors more. When the bowels
slow down, toxins are not eliminated and are reabsorbed and carried back
to the liver for recycling and elimination. Reabsorbed bile salts have
been linked to increased cholesterol levels; therefore, cholesterol is
a major indicator of constipation. Also, when the bowels get slow and toxin
levels increase, the pathogenic microorganisms grow to out-number the normal
flora causing dysbiosis. Although flora is needed to correct this,
it is the clogged bowels that are the major problem. When the bowels move
again, everything else will fall into order.
Our endocrine glands that control metabolism are also involved; since
it is our thyroid that controls metabolism and metabolism affects how our
bowels are functioning. In this way, constipation can be seen as a symptom
of hypothyroidism. Low body temperatures (a symptom of hypothyroidism)
are very common today ...although they are not “normal” ... as many authors
have reported. One major factor in low body temperatures is the suppression
of thyroid function by heavy metals, like mercury, which binds to our thyroid
hormones and renders them inactive. Eliminate the mercury and the body
temperature is likely to return to normal. more
on thyroid: Real Thyroid Solutions - End Your Suffering Now.
The easiest way to get the bowels moving is by using a high fiber diet
consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables. Sometimes, one may add
extra fiber during the day by drinking a glass of water (juice) with psyllium
husk powder. The extra fiber adds to the bulk of the stool and decreases
the bowel transit time, which means better toxin elimination and better
health. It makes sense that if one can eliminate toxins their health
will improve.
One of the best ways to improve the bowel function is with herbal remedies
that act as bowel stimulants or laxatives. These products range from the
very mild - slippery elm - to the stimulant - cascara sagrada- to the very
harsh - aloes and senna. Everyone may react differently to these products,
so they should be taken cautiously at first. Some persons may take two
aloes with no effect (meaning they are heavily blocked), while others may
take a mild herbal and get a much greater effect than most. Herbal bowel
combination formulas are excellent because they not only stimulate the
bowels to move, but give the bowels the nourishment it needs to move on
its own.
Herbal formulas should not preclude a wholesome natural diet, since
diet comes first in matters of health. One should not become overly dependent
on herbal laxatives, since they deplete potassium and may be “addicting”
as some authors claim. Yet, herbal products play a key role in getting
the body to eliminate toxins by stimulating the eliminative organs like
nothing else can and, therefore, cannot be ignored.

Conclusion:
Detoxification may produce symptoms of headaches, nausea, malaise and
vomiting due to the toxins being released [Herxheimer
Reaction]. If this occurs, one should back off the program and proceed
slowly. Proceeding to fast with detoxification can have disastrous results
when toxins are released into the circulation. Our body should be primed
and ready to eliminate toxins before they are released. We do this by getting
the bowels working, keeping the skin clean and getting the kidneys and
lungs operating. Only by having all organs of elimination in proper
operating order can our body begin to dump toxins efficiently and maximally.
Keeping the skin clean and healthy is of prime importance also.
Detoxification is essential for good health to exist. Our body must
eliminate toxins daily or we would die immediately. Since our environment
is more toxic today, our livers are over stressed with environmental toxins
to deal with daily. Processing other toxins, when the liver is stressed,
may be delayed. Detoxification is also a lifestyle change. For it is by
the way we live that determines our health and how our liver processes
toxins. Detoxification is easy if we eat a wholesome natural organic diet
and live life in a natural way. But for those who want their cake and eat
it too, detoxification may be compromised. A change your lifestyle may
be needed and detoxification will be forthcoming. Nature has afforded us
the chance to live in a toxic environment and not be affected by it. Of
course, we have to live right to get that chance. Without detoxification
we may not get a second chance.
Good health is within our reach, but first we must cleanse this “temple”
and eat a wholesome natural diet that provides us with maximal nutrients
and fiber. Herbs can help us stimulate the liver, lungs, kidneys and bowels
when needed, but diet is the first priority in any detoxification program.
Don’t become overly dependent on herbal laxatives. When toxins are released
one may feel bad for a day or two, but when our good health is restored
we will have renewed energy and will “soar on the wings of an eagle”.
Many people living today have never known what good health “feels” like.
They survive with an abundance of toxins and an existence less than healthy.
Good health is not hard to find, but does require diligence and life
style changes which are compatible with toxin elimination. Sir Jason
Winters Says, “Death begins in the colon.” With good toxin elimination
through natural detoxification programs our health and energy are restored.

  What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.

CDC
website
"Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing
that diabetes rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive
hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates
also went up sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were
introduced."

In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles
asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood
through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic
diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international
magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy,
and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals and
the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic
diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues. Learn

Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government
agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing
to protect American children.
Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana)
during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've
been using Thimerosal, and the only test that you know of is from
1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?"
For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what
they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury
compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause
immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)
