Holistic Balance
It is somewhat difficult to separate the practice of detoxification from fasting. Fasting or the avoidance of bad food is one method of detoxification, probably the most effective (easy to live with) form. There are many other ways to detoxify.
Toxicity is a greater concern than ever before. There are many new and stronger chemicals, air and water pollution, radiation etc. We ingest new chemicals, use more drugs of all kinds, eat more sugar and refined foods, and daily abuse ourselves with various stimulants and sedatives. The incidence of many toxicity diseases has increased as well. Cancer and cardiovascular disease are two of the main ones. Arthritis, allergies, obesity, and many skin problems are others. In addition, a wide range of symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, pains, coughs, gastrointestinal problems, and problems from immune weakness, can all be related to toxicity.
Toxicity occurs on two basic levels--external and internal. A toxin is basically any substance that creates irritating and/or harmful effects in the body, undermining our health or stressing our biochemical or organ functions. This may result from drugs which have side effects, or from patterns of physiology (functioning organs, tissues, or cells) that are different from our usual functioning. Toxicity occurs in our body when we take in more than we can utilize and eliminate. Homeostasis means that our body functions are in balance. This balance is disturbed when we feed ourselves more than we can utilize or consume of specific substances that are toxic.
Of course, if our body is working well, with good immune and eliminative functions, we can handle our basic everyday exposure to toxins. The purpose of this web site is to discuss with you ways to support the elimination of toxins, excessive mucus, congestion, and disease and to prevent, on a day-to-day basis, the buildup of toxicity. Through detoxification, we clear and filter toxins and wastes and allow our body to work on enhancing its’ basic functions.
