Why Detoxify

"Of all the polite topics of conversation, the state of one's intestines is probably at the bottom of most people's lists. Let's face it: Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, gas, diverticulitis and colon cancer are simply not things we like to discuss. And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don't believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material." - Vegetarian Times, March, 1998

More Americans are hospitalized due to diseases of the digestive tract and colon than for any other group of disorders. The estimated total cost in lost work, lost wages, and medical bills is well over $50 billion per year! Colon/rectal cancer is the number one cancer in America for men and women together.

We are all exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a daily basis at work, in the home, through the air we breathe, our food and water supply, and through the use of pharmaceutical drugs. Most people today live on a diet of over-processed and over-cooked food, not to mention coffee, sugar, chocolate, junk food, prescription drugs and alcohol. U.S. industries manufacture over 6 trillion pounds of 9,000 different chemicals a year. They dump billions of pounds of industrial chemicals into our air and water year after year. So now scientists have started to examine pollution levels in humans and their findings are deeply disturbing. Research proves that our bodies are not capable of eliminating all the different toxins and chemicals we inhale and ingest every day. They simply accumulate in our cells (especially fat cells), tissues, blood, organs (such as the colon, liver and brain) and remain stored for an indefinite length of time causing all kinds of health problems.

The 'dead' processed foods we ingest lead to poor digestion and elimination. This causes a toxic build-up in the body, specifically the colon. (You are fed from your small intestines and you get your water from your large intestines.) Toxins being held in the colon will create a home for parasites. These parasites and fungal forms, like candida, create symptoms like aches and pains, chronic diarrhea, nausea, acne, skin rashes, bad breath, fatigue, menstrual irregularities, insomnia, depression, gas, bloating, impotence, overall fuzzy brain, severe PMS, cravings for sugar, sweets or starchy foods, and recurrent fungal infections (athlete’s foot, vaginal yeast infections and UTI’s). When your body is overloaded with toxins it’s almost impossible to lose weight. Your metabolism becomes sluggish, organs become run down, and your body creates fat cells to store the excess toxins.

You can see in our day to day lives how easy it is to get overwhelmed with toxicity. You have the tools at hand to deal with this. As overwhelming as it might seem you can shift the balance back from a state of disease and unhealthiness in your body to one of vibrant health and experience a higher quality of life.

  • Help restore normal bowel function and promote regularity
  • Soften and absorb old hardened fecal matter off walls of colon and bowel pockets

Precautions While Detoxing:

Here are the precautions to take to prevent permanent damage when you detoxify your body:

1. Don't detox too fast. If toxins are released from the cells faster than the body can move them out of the tissues, the toxins may damage the tissues on the way out. So if you experience pain, nausea, or other symptoms when detoxing, cut back on your detox method until the symptoms clear. These type of detox symptoms are rare with this program you just need to make sure you are eliminating effectively.

2. A total fast from food is not a good detox method because it may release the toxins too fast. A water fast pulls the toxins out of your cells but then you have to recirculate them through your liver and kidneys which were too overburdened to deal with them in the first place. Doing this detox will pull the toxins out and hold them harmless in your colon.

4. Make sure that you are getting the proper nutrition i.e. Superfood and water to nourish your cells while they detox.

5. Don’t hesitate to call during your detox with any questions you might have.
