The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat are filled with man-made chemicals and pesticides that overload the liver and the entire immune system. Studies show that these toxins have been associated with hormone disruption, immune system suppression, reproductive disorders, several types of cancer and other disorders such as allergies. An alarming finding of one study showed that PCB and DDE levels appear to be unexpectedly high in the general population and may actually be increasing. These toxicants were banned decades ago; it was assumed that they would now be almost non-existent in the U.S. population. However, no one really knows. We must now do our best in detoxifying our bodies for better health.

Your Liver

The liver is one of the most important organs in the body when it comes to detoxifying or getting rid of foreign substances or toxins. Glutathione, the most abundant sulfhydryl in the body, functions to chelate and detoxify heavy metals; mercury and lead have also been shown to combine or complex with glutathione. Once complexed together, the bile becomes a major route used by the body to excrete the complex, thereby reducing the amount of glutathione available. The primary source of the sulfur portion of cysteine is methionine. Cysteine cannot be taken up by hepatocytes (liver cells) easily, whereas methionine is taken up more readily, and is then metabolized into S-adenosylmethionine, homocysteine, cystathione, and cysteine. Cancer cells utilize methionine in order to grow and proliferate. Do not let this happen. Frequent detoxification clears your system of these cancerous toxins!

Mucoid Plague In Your Intestines

Mucoid Plague is a layer of very hard, yet rubbery material that clings on to the walls of your intestines. Even a thin layer of mucoid plaque weakens the body. Nature intended mucoid plaque to be sloughed off. But due to stress and diet, most Americans have many hardened layers of mucoid plaque. The healthy colon weighs about 4 pounds. One autopsy revealed a colon choked with 40 pounds of impacted mucoid plaque! A proper colon cleanse and detoxification program prepares your body for optimal health by removing the mucoid plaque.

Diet Pills, for Health, or Health Hazard?

The stimulation of some diet pills is obvious. A lot of weight loss herbs are stimulatory. Some athletes have even experimented with these to give them more energy during their competitions. How's that for a stimulant?

You should be very careful or better: do not use them at all. If it is really necessary consult your doctor first. Substitute: Take Fruit.

Detoxification with Fruits

Fruit is detoxifying and you can eat as much of it as you want. You will lose a lot of weight if you cut down on other nutrition and replace them by fruit.

Best Detox Method: Sauna Therapy

Despite best efforts, large human populations are at times exposed to toxic chemicals. When these chemicals are lipid soluble and do not metabolize easily, they accumulate in the body and may present a health risk for the individuals' entire life. Reduction of chemical body burdens is one goal of treatment for the chemically exposed. Sauna therapy has long been used by doctors to cure their patients of toxic shock from heavy metals. Sauna therapy is able to remove more toxins than your kidney alone! 15 minutes of sauna can clear as much toxins as 24 hours of your kidney working time! Even then, sweat contains more urea and heavy metal than urine itself.
