Why Do People Need To Detox?

We all come in contact with millions of chemicals and toxins throughout our lives. They are all around us; in our homes, at work, through the air we breathe, through the water we drink, through the foods we eat and through over-the-counter, prescriptions, and recreational (illicit) drugs we take. We are over-taxing our bodies with more processed fast foods, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and other stimulants than our parents and grandparents have ever dreamed of.

We have to deal with billions of pounds of over 9,000 different chemicals a year being dumped into our air and water from U.S. manufactures. They accumulate in our lungs, blood, brain, liver, colon, tissues and cells; especially fat cells. Our bodies are designed to rid the toxins from our bodies. But, with the increases of toxins we put in our bodies, eventually our bodies become overloaded, taxing the human body beyond its natural capabilities of detoxification. And the only thing our bodies can do is accumulate the toxins until inflammation developes and then we develop a wide variety of health problems.

Depending on where the inflammation is in our body, we experience symptoms from the inflammation. If the warning signs of toxicity aren't addressed, disease may result.

The Bodies 7 Channels of Eliminating Toxins
Skin - The skin is the bodies largest organ.It eliminates toxins through sweat. Using a sauna to sweat or dry skin brushing to open up the pores is a great way to keep your skin eliminate toxins.
Lungs - The lungs filter the air and breathe out toxins. You can help eliminate toxins through your lungs by staying away from smoke. Exercise and deep breathing at least 15 minutes a day will help eliminate toxins.
Lymphatic - The lymphatic system filters out bacteria and other foreign particles. Exercise and massage is a great way to help your lymphatic system eliminate toxins.
Blood - The blood is a liquid organ that is part of the elimination process because it transports substances through the body. Exercise stimulates the blood system and assists the body in eliminating toxins.
Liver - The liver metabolizes and stores nutrients from food, converts ingredients into substances that are needed in all parts of the body and filters the blood of toxins.
Kidneys - The kidneys filter the blood and produces urine which is the bodies waste. Often kidney problems are a result of Dehydration. Drinking lots of filtered water will help the kidneys eliminate toxins.
Colon - The small intestine and colon is approximately 23 feet long which gives the body time to break down what you've eaten and pull out the nutrients and extra fluids that recirculate in the body. Drinking lots of filtered water and fiber will help the colon eliminate toxins.

Death Begins In The Colon
The road to health begins with intestinal cleansing and detoxification -- no matter what the disease or the problem. Dr. Bernard Jensen said, " The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It's that hard and black. "
