WHY DETOX?

Detoxification is the process of addressing the natural toxins in the body.  The liver, digestive tract, kidneys, bladder, lymphatic system, lungs, and skin are the major organ systems that are involved in the neutralization and elimination of toxins.

Because we are exposed to high levels of foreign substances and over-consume chemically-treated, synthetically-produced food, extra detoxification is needed.  This program utilizes whole food supplements, pure food, and water to give the body the resources it needs so that it can purify and rebuild itself naturally.  This program places an emphasis on the liver and colon because these two organs play a major role in supporting the digestive system and detoxification. This helps you to achieve a higher level of health by cleansing the body from the inside out.

As a society, we face increasing amounts of challenges in our environment.  We encounter substances every day from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink, including: medications, pesticides, heavy metals, fumes, synthetic materials, cigarette smoke, caffeine, preservatives, and much more.  In addition to these environmental challenges, our bodies produce waste by-products as a result of normal metabolism (such as ammonia, carbon dioxide and free radicals) that need to be eliminated.  If these toxins are not neutralized and eliminated, the result is sub-optimal health.

You may be asking if you have toxins in your body.  If you don’t have 2-3 bowel movements per day, every day, you are not eliminating toxins.  Think for a moment of all the foods and drinks you have consumed over your lifetime.  The amount could literally add up to tens of thousands of pounds.  Our bodies eliminate much of the food, but what about the additives, preservatives, dyes, etc.?

Take a simple test:  Do you or have you eaten processed foods?  Do you eat non-organic fruits and vegetables?  Do you eat meat and poultry that is not free-range?  Do you consume genetically-altered food?  Do you or have you ever used artificial sweeteners?  Do you drink soda?  Do the foods you eat have preservatives, additives, dyes or sweeteners added?  Do you or have you ever consumed margarine or partially hydrogenated fats?  Do you eat fast foods and/or eat out regularly?  Do you fry, charbroil or grill foods?  Do you drink coffee regularly?  Do you drink alcohol?  Do you drink tap water?

If a majority of your answers are yes, then it is likely that your diet contributes significantly to your toxic load.  In addition to your diet, you are also exposed to other irritants such as cigarette smoke, pollution, hair dyes, hair spray, dry cleaning chemicals, cosmetics, exhaust fumes, soaps, perfumes, cleaners and drugs.  This everyday exposure to these substances may have you feeling less than your best, experiencing: weight gain, fatigue or difficulty sleeping, headaches, poor digestion, food cravings, reduced mental clarity, low libido.
