HOW THE BODY DETOXIFIES
Normally, the body has its own internal de-cluttering system, continually detoxifying, pollutants, cellular by- products, harmful chemicals and toxic waste. Here’s how.
LIVER
The liver is our most important detoxifier, as it neutralizes poisons. What it cannot render harmless, it stores – protecting the rest of the body from harm.
KIDNEYS
The kidneys eliminate fluid wastes, maintain electrolyte balance and purify the bloodstream by detoxifying medications, free radicals and toxins found in the blood.
COLON
The colon eliminates solid wastes and absorbs water from foods.
LUNGS
The lungs act as a site of blood filtration and eliminate toxic gases with each respiration.
SKIN
As the largest eliminative organ, every pore of the skin is an escape route for waste material.
GENERAL CLEANSING GUIDELINES
Our bodies are naturally equipped to eliminate toxins. However, as our environment becomes more polluted with an ever-increasing number of synthetic chemicals, our bodies are exposed to a growing number of toxins from food, water, air, household chemicals and even our workplaces. This leads to a gradual accumulation of toxins that can cause symptoms ranging from fatigue, headaches, mood changes, pains, coughs and gastrointestinal problems. Long-term toxic exposure can weaken our systems, increase our susceptibility to infection and eventually lead to chronic illness. To thrive in this environment, our bodies need extra support to detoxify themselves. Read the rest of this entry »
They may have become common, but they are not normal. Wastes are deposited in cells and tissues, where they undermine the body’s ability to function effectively, leading to:
* Fatigue
* Headaches
* Gas and bloating
* Aches and pains
* Dry, itchy skin
* Blemishes
* Body odour
* Skin irritation/rashes
* Sleeplessness
* Indigestion
* Nausea
* Mood swings
* Constipation or bowel irregularity (less than once a day is cause for concern)
More common toxicity symptoms include headache, fatigue, mucus problems, aches and pains, digestive problems, “allergy” symptoms, and sensitivity to environmental agents such as chemicals, perfumes, and synthetics. People who experience these and others on the list may benefit from diet changes or avoidance of the drug or agent that may be influencing the symptom.
