Are you ready to take charge of your health and "never be sick again"?

Cleansing - Why Detoxify and How

All chemicals can be divided into two basic groups - fat soluble (lipophilic) and water soluble (polar). The fat soluble chemicals are absorbed more readily into body tissues and are harder to get rid of. These include the metals (dental mercury, lead, etc.), petrochemicals, plastics, herbicides and pesticides. They can accumulate in the body tissues and extra-cellular fluids, irritating the cells and causing mutant cells to form. This can be the beginning of cancer.

We need to rid our bodies of the regular build-up of toxins "from the air we breathe, the fluids we drink, food we eat and the hectic pace of the average North American life", as quoted from the National Cancer Society.

Your body has an innate wisdom that naturally inclines you towards getting rid of toxins. Pimples, ear infections, fever, runny noses, colds and the like are usually regarded as "bad" and undesirable in our society. However, using medicines to suppress the symptoms of minor disease and ailments prevents you from expelling the accumulated toxins. These suppressed accumulations result in the more serious degenerative diseases.

Your body is a complex, perfectly designed machine with two modes: one is for digestion with absorption of nutrients and elimination of wastes; the other (when no food is present) is for cleansing and healing. During a fast, when no digestion is required, the body draws toxins from wherever they are most accumulated and eliminates them. However, it very simply can't do both functions at once.

Thus, you are encouraged to do a cleansing fast once or twice a year at minimum. If you fast on a regular basis by taking liquids only for one day out of each week, you greatly assist your lymph systems to remove the wastes that accumulate in the tissues.

Colonics and hydrotherapy is a more focused method to assist the body in cleansing and releasing accumulated toxins. More information on colonics and it's benefits in detoxifying your body can be found here.

A gentle herbal cleanse and bowel tonic is Avena's Herb Cocktail, which we take on a regular basis. Herb Cocktail is a combination of herbs designed to gently massage and release all build-up in the lower intestinal tract when taken daily. The bowels are rebuilt from the inside out, allowing the toxins and compressed fecal matter to be released gently and safely.
