DETOXIFYING What do you think of when you see or hear DETOX? Your Colon, Liver, All Of The Body, Heavy Metals, Waste Products, Drugs/Medications, Alcohol, Processed Foods?

All of these items play a part in detoxification. Personally, I think of the Liver, because aside from being the second largest organ in the body (our skin being first) and capable of 500 functions or more, it filters the blood that goes to our heart , and therefore determines the quality of our Blood Stream, the quality of our heart, and most importantly the quality of our LIFE!

Over taxing this function of our livers for prolonged periods of abuse with non organic and toxic substances can have its toll on our bodies. Fortunately for us, though, the liver is the one organ that can best generate itself. Helping the liver to stay healthy is immeasurable…and one way to do so is detoxification.

In Alternative Medicine detoxification is about getting rid of toxic substances by using one or more of a variety of methods ranging from eating certain foods or drinking specific juices all the way to fasting (abstinence of food, liquids, or both) combined with baths and enemas, The absolutel objective is to eliminate impurities from the major digestive systems: Liver, Pancreas,  Stomach, Colon (large and small – plus the Kidneys of the circulatory system), cleanse the blood, and most basically restore energy while strengthening the immune system…thereby allowing our health to flourish!

Future posts on this page will examine the numerous types of detox programs, various recipes, and the particular type or types that might be right for you.  Ideally, detoxing is already a part of your life…if not, CONSIDER IT!

There are many types of detoxification cleanses and many can be intimidating. However, what you want to consider before employing any type detox protocol is to cleanse the kidneys and colons first. These organs are “elimination” organs. Their primary functions are to carry harmful wastes OUT of the body. So it is essential to have them cleansed to do their work properly and prevent any type of blockage or backlash of toxic waste back into our system!
