Today It’s more important than ever to detoxify harmful chemicals, pesticides and heavy metals due to the stressful conditions in which our food sources are created to meet current demands. Environmental toxins also play a big role in the increase of disease and poor health. For anyone who is truly interested in reclaiming their own health, one must assume some responsibility to do so. Yes we live in a toxic society so it behooves us to do our homework to find out what is workable and safe to consume that will help us resolve the condition that needs to be handled.

Certain medicines and herbs may not react well together and this is where your homework comes in. In this article I will do my best to give you the most accurate information I can but if you are unsure, consult a medical practitioner.

Here are lists of herbs that may help to detox and feed the body:

Wormwood- cleanses the colon of worms and also works as a mild sedative. (Should not be taken by women who are pregnant or nursing).

Black walnut husk- cleanses the intestines of parasites, helps in digestion, works well in fungal infections.

Cloves- Also aids in digestion, clears out parasites.

Cascara Sagrada- works as a laxative to help people who suffer from constipation, a great colon cleanser. (Do not use on a regular basis as it can be habit forming. Follow manufacturer instructions.)

Cayenne Pepper- a wonderful herb that does many things including; helps the heart, kidneys, lungs, stomach, aids in digestion and is good for sinus problems, colds and sore throats. Cayenne is rich in folic acid, vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6, vitamin A and C.

Burdock Root- is a very good blood cleanser and helps the immune system, helps the liver and gallbladder to function better. (Do not take iron and burdock at the same time. They cancel each other out).

Corn Silk- aids the intestines, bladder and kidneys. Corn silk is one of those herbs that work well in combination with other kidney cleansing herbs.

Milk Thistle- for liver problems this herb is a must. It restores liver cells and is a great antioxidant. Milk thistle also aids the kidney and digestive disorders.

Cats Claw- good for intestinal disorders and enhances white blood cell action. (Pregnant women should avoid cat’s claw).

Cranberry- great for the urinary tract as bacteria cannot survive in cranberry’s acidity.

Horsetail- contains silica which is absolutely necessary for bones, hair and skin. It’s wonderful for strengthening the heart. It flushes out toxins when taken with a lot of water.

Pau-d’arco – A very good blood cleanser, has antibacterial properties and strengthens the immune system.

Rosemary- Helps to prevent liver toxicity has anti-tumor properties and stimulates circulation and digestion.

Yellow dock- cleanses the blood, cleans the colon and is good for liver disease. Also good for all types of skin disorders.

Yerba mate- cleanses the blood, helps with allergies, constipation and inflammation.

Parsley- This herb does many good things for the body such as stops tumors from multiplying, helps the kidneys, bladder, stomach, liver and lungs. Helps the thyroid function better, helps in lowering blood pressure, aids in kidney and prostate conditions.

A good multi vitamin and mineral supplement is recommended to help reduce free radical damage and give important nutrients to the body. NOTE: minerals should be taken at a different time from vitamins because some minerals will cancel out some of the vitamins.

Intake of clean fresh water is vital in not only in the cleansing process, but also in necessary hydration for the body. This is so important that if you did nothing else than drink eight glasses of water per day, you would be much farther ahead. You would not expect a toilet to flush without water, so it is with your body. You need water to flush toxins and waste from the body.

Foods that help you detox and alkalize the body:

Most vegetables
Most fruits
Maple syrup
Molasses
Soy products
Most vegetable and fruit juices, preferably raw fresh organic made from a juicer.
Water and lots of it.

(vegetables and fruit that are acid forming are: Asparagus, brussel sprouts, chickpeas, cranberries, canned or glazed fruit).

To keep indoor air clean you can get a good ion air purifier and a good vacuum with a Hepa filter. (Spraying the air with perfumed air cleaner products is not recommended because it does not take pollutants out of the air).

Ionic foot baths are also good for helping the body to detox and assist in the reduction of pain of all sorts.

Negative ions are very beneficial for a body and are in abundance in forests, fast moving rivers and water falls or just strolling down the beach. (The footbath mimics this) Get out of the city once in a while and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit and get well!

Just surf the internet or leaf through the pages of magazines and you will come to find out the description of a number of detox programs vying for your attention. The different detox plans come with different objectives and their paths of action are also different from each other. There are detox programs that aim at cleansing your colon; there are many that may target your liver for its detox action. An efficient detox program is one that tactfully weaves all these programs into a total health plan. This type of detox plan can restore back your lost health, energy and vitality.

Although there are different approaches to detoxification dealing with the problem at different levels, most of them begin at the level of diet. Different detoxification diets help the body to get rid of toxins in different ways. As a whole, the detox diet emphasizes on a healthy whole food diet backed up by plenty of liquid consumption.

A typical detox diet consists of fiber rich fresh fruits and vegetables. During detox these fruits and vegetables are recommended to be consumed raw. These foods are also replete with multiple vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Above all, there are plenty of enzymes to aid in the process of digestion. All these nutrients nourish the eliminative organs; contribute to make healthy bowels and works for the smooth elimination of the waste from the system. These detox diets are typically free of animal products and therefore easy to digest. Thus these vegetarian diets are good at flushing out the chemicals from the body.

A detox diet is not boring or tasteless, although it restricts the intake of certain types of foods.

-Nearly 40% of detox diet should be composed of fresh fruits and vegetables. The ideal detox diet includes variety of colorful, especially red and green vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, sprouts, onions, garlic, artichokes and beets.

-Types of beans are major component of a detox diet and they supply the necessary protein to the body. Split yellow and green peas, lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas and pinto beans can enhance the efficiency of your detox diet.
– Among the whole grains, rice is the first choice of many of the detox nutritionists for their easy digestive properties. You can also consume such grains as quinoa, amaranth, millet or buckwheat in the place of rice from time to time.
– Nuts and seeds are another major component of your detox diet. As a part of the detox diet you can consume flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews and walnuts, but avoid peanuts.
– the foods you should avoid roughly are:
– dairy products, wheat, corn, yeast, red meat, alcohol, food additives and preservatives, chocolate and other calorie rich foods.
– Also complement your diet with probiotics, psyllium, activated charcoal, or bentonite clay for easy bowel movement. Back them up all by taking plenty of drinking water per day. Drinking two cups of vegetable broth is also helpful for the cleansing process.

The Kinoki Foot Patch: The Real Deal Or Real Scam?

Copyright (c) 2009 Fred Andrews

Our bodies do not have it straightforward. Each day, we’re exposed to poisons in the air, the water and even in our food! It’s hard to avoid this exposure irrespective of how healthy of a life you try to live.

Unless you’re able to eat only organic produce, you could be getting pesticides in your vegetables and vegetables. If you eat meat, you could be exposed to giant amounts of antibiotics and even growth hormones! Fish can contain mercury and other water carried contaminants.

These poisons make it troublesome for your liver to function correctly, can lower your metabolism (leading to weight ) and have plenty of other dangerous effects. The environmental poisons we are commonly exposed to may cause numerous forms of cancer, persistent fatigue syndrome and other ailments.

Naturally, you would like to eliminate these poisons from your body as completely as possible. You could have seen some of the numerous commercials for de-toxing foot pads. It seems a fair enough idea – but do these foot pads really work?

Kinoki and Avon are among the corporations that promote these detoxifying foot pads. These pads were tested on the program 20/20 and by a number of bloggers concentrating on the field of health.

The results? Discontent . Almost all of the subjects who tried the foot pads reported no change in their health or sense of well-being; surprising given that these were prepared subjects who were hopeful that the pads would be effective for them.

The makers of these foot pads make the allege that their products turn dark as they pull poisons from the body thru the bottoms of the feet. One thing which all of the participants did agree on is the pads did, in fact turn dark. The other thing the partakers came to a general agreement on is that they smelled nasty – some even announced the smell managed to permeate their bedding.

So what about laboratory tests on the pads? Again, upsetting ; these showed no poisons whatsoever in the pads after being worn. In reality, testing proved that the pads turned dark when exposed to water – the darkening of the pads was caused by perspiration, not toxins. A straightforward test with distilled water proved that this alone would turn the pads dark.

The conclusion? Simple enough – do not squander your money. These pads don’t detoxify the body and are either a well intentioned but ill conceived product or an outright scam.

Body Detox With Fasting

Do you want to detox your body? The process of body detoxification expels harmful chemicals and toxins from your body. Even those who lead relatively healthy lifestyles can still benefit from an occasional detox.

If you are interested in detoxifying your body, you will likely to turn to the internet first for information. Online, you will find a lot of free information, guide and methods for body detox. You will also quick to discover the many ways to cleanse or detoxify the body. A few examples include eating organic food only, hydrotherapy, colon cleansing, detox diet, and fasting. Due to affordability, many opt for a water fast.

Before opting for a water fast, it is important to learn its benefits, as well as the danger involved.

Water fasting can be free. The fact that we all have free access to water is one of the reasons why a water fast is a popular way to detoxify the body.

Water can be polluted with chemicals. Recent studies have shown that many cities have water that is tampered with contaminants. Small traces of some prescription drugs and heavy metal have been found in some water samples. Although you may have clean drinking water, it can be difficult or next to impossible for you to realize without a test. For that reason, you may opt to drink only bottled water.

The fact that no solid foods are eaten during a water fast poses both an advantage and a disadvantage. For the advantages, it makes it easier for you to detox your body. It takes both energy and time for food to be digested and toxins to be filtered and removed. Without solid foods to digest, your body detox system, mainly your digestive tract can use all its resources to more effectively rid itself of toxins.

As for the disadvantage of not consuming solid foods, your body will be deprived of essential nutrients. Water is an important component of our body’s ability to survive and is necessary for virtually every bodily function, but so is food to give us energy. Our bodies depend on it to work just like car need gas. With that said, those who are healthy and do not have any medical conditions should be able to survive a water fast, although it may be difficult for your body to adjust.

Speaking of adjusting to a water fast, the difficulty will depend on your daily habit. For example, if you are dependent on caffeine, your body may soon start to experience withdrawal symptoms when on a water fast. Side effects like headaches and dizziness might arise.

As previously stated, the human body needs water to survive. In that aspect, the consumption of water is natural. What is unnatural about a water fasting is the elimination of solid foods. However, when compared to many detoxing or cleansing drugs available for sale, this is considered a very natural approach.

As with all fasts, there are risks associated with a water fast. A relatively unknown danger is the consumption of too much water which leads to water intoxication. Too much water can cause brain damage, and can be fatal. If you opt for a water fast, drink the recommended amount water or seek advice from your healthcare advisor for more information.

It may take your body a day or so to adjust to a water only diet, but it will take your body even longer to readjust to food. If you fast for longer than three days, you will want to start slowly introducing solid food back into your diet at the conclusion of your fast. Many experts recommend first adding other liquids, such as soup or juice first, and then solids. Also, since you had just spent some gruesome days detoxifying your body, be mindful of your food intake afterwards. Don’t put your effort to waste. There is no better time to make the switch to organic foods than now.

As you can see, there are a number of pros and cons to using a water fast to detox or cleanse the body. A safe way to do so is with the advice of a professional healthcare. Some recommend water fasting for at least five days, while some state that you should never go more than three days. Consulting with a healthcare professional is your best bet, but always listen to your body and pay attention to any distress signs it may show.

Detox And Its Many Benefits For Your Body

Posted by admin at 22 February 2010

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

For most of my life I considered myself fairly healthy. I was not overweight, very slim infact. I usually ate two to three meals per day, not a lot of junky type foods, so I thought. I was about to learn the hard way that my life style and eating habits were not healthy at all.

My diet was like most of North Americas diet, a lot of processed food, soda, drinks, not real juice but man made sugary drinks, fast food and lots of fat! I also smoked 2 packs a day of menthol cigarettes. I also became less active as time went on.

I considered my lifestyle and eating habits perfectly normal. This is how I observed most people living their life. What I did not realize was all the dyes, preservatives and hydrogenated oils I was consuming, not to mention exhaust fumes, solvents, chemicals pesticides and heavy metals in our environment.

We spray our homes with chemicals to kill off nasty little critters. We walk outside on the grass that has just been sprayed with more chemicals. We put chlorine in our pools and we can’t go outside at any time without being exposed to the exhaust fumes from cars, planes etc.

Some of our food supply is deficient in nutrients. We do not eat the way our grandparents and great grandparents ate. Their food was richer in nutrients. We, over a long period of time have depleted our soil and the constant deluge of chemicals used to obtain a larger yield of crops is what gets in our system.

What does this all mean? We live in a highly toxic environment!

There are various types of detox methods that help your body rid itself of its toxic overload.

Colon cleansing is one of them! The majority of people have some difficulty with their colon, constipation being a one of the big ones. Colon cleansing can be done naturally with eating foods high in fiber or taking fiber supplements. A diet that includes vegetables and fruits such as raspberries or blueberries are a great source of fiber. In fact, 1 cup of these fruits has as much fiber as eating 10 bran muffins. Imagine the carb count of 10 bran muffins! It is also a must that you consume a lot of water. This helps hydrate and nourish your body and flush toxins and fecal matter out of your system.

Diet is so important! Where possible eat organic. We have enough chemicals and pesticides and processed foods to deal with. Just use your common sense and eat real all natural foods just as Mother Nature intended. Instead of that candy bar for quick energy, eat a piece of fruit instead.
Fasting is still a valid therapy for detoxing. When you eat, the body spends many hours processing the food through digestion, nourishing the cells and elimination. When you stop eating and drink a lot of fluids, the body can then concentrate on eliminating toxins and healing the body. Fasting can be 1 to 3 days or as much as 10 days if done properly and under the care of a licensed practitioner. Also a visit to a licensed nutritionist can help you with vitamin and herbal supplement selection that suit your particular needs.

You can also get spa detox footbaths or detox foot patches. These are awesome because they draw toxins out through your feet. I personally know what these detox baths can do. You would be amazed as to how mucked up the water looks after 30 minutes. The color the water turns is directly related to where you are detoxing from such as the gallbladder, liver, lymphatic system etc.

Our current environment calls for taking action in caring for our bodies. Detoxing is a great way to alleviate toxic build up. You’ll feel great and have energy to spare.

Detox for vitality is the name of the game. I hope this helps.

Natural Body Detox

Detoxifying is the method of cleaning the body by removing all excess toxins and other elements that may harm it. Because natural body detox eliminates toxins in the body, specialists claim that it could improve resistance to diseases, improve mental state, digestion, and health. It also aids in buffering the effects of sudden weight loss or gain. Detoxification can purify the body, thus, making you feel revived and regain your beautiful outlook in life.

There are different levels of detoxification. Detoxification can be performed physically, which is usually done through several methods, but it can also be done mentally.

Physically, detoxification is the process of cleaning the body.  Flushing away the toxins that might bring illness, damage, and other disease that can impair the body. Naturally, our body cleanses itself through our lymphatic system, blood circulation, kidneys, liver and lungs. But because of the toxins that we get from foods, such as fat, cholesterol and caffeine, the body’s ability to eliminate all of them overloads. Thus, it causes toxin build up that can result to certain disease. This is the very reason why detoxification programs were thought of. Certain programs and products like detox diet, detox foot patch, Elemis Silhouette capsule, detox body cleansers, and body detox plans all aim to clean the body and remove unwanted substances. Detoxification processes are helpful in preventing sickness and clearing out all the toxins in it. Detoxification processes are helpful in preventing body degeneration and rejuvenating it.

Although physical detoxification is great, it is not enough. We should also detoxify our mind and cross out all the negative thoughts in our lives. Cleansing the mind and purifying it can improve the health of a person. In fact, many people who support detox diets say that emotional stress is the reason why toxins do not properly leave the body during waste elimination. It causes more stress and makes our brains sluggish. Light detoxification can also enhance a person’s view of life. Taking out all the negatives and being optimistic allows us to accept different beliefs and have an open mind. It can also help us to think clear.

Remember that toxins in the body promote problems such as headaches, nausea, fatigue, stress, insomnia, acne, and tiredness. They can also block and slow down the delivery of oxygen and nutrients that are needed by all parts of the body. Since the brain is the largest consumer of oxygen, it has a tendency to be damaged, thus, it might affect the work of the brain and the whole body itself. Getting rid of all these toxins through detoxification is a wonderful way for the body to be purified.

Body detox is a portion of transformational medicine, where change is not just in the physical body but also on how we view things. Specialists say that enhancing the elimination of toxins in the body can help in dealing with the traumatic experiences, problems from the past, whether it involves the family or other relationships, and job stress. Removal of these distraction toxins helps in making an individual feel better and experience a new view of life.

Being cleansed inside out is not hard but it is also not that easy. Purifying the body from all the harmful substances in it needs discipline, determination, and commitment. It is true when people say that anything that is gotten with no effort at all is taken for granted. So work in natural body detox now. Appreciate your health and take care of it. Remember, you are the only person who can take care of yourself the most.

The detoxification processes of a colon cleanser treatment are so important to maintaining a healthy balance in your body that many doctors consider it to be a key to personal wellness.Presented by Natural Body Detox

Body Detox: Helpful Tips

Posted by admin at 3 February 2010

Category: Uncategorized

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Do you want to cleanse or detox your body? If so, please continue reading on for some important and helpful tips.

There is a difference between a colon cleanse and a whole body cleanse or detox. The results are similar, but they are achieved in different ways. In most cases, you will start to see immediate results with a colon cleanse. This means that you may be running to the toilet more frequently. On the other hand, a body detox doesn’t always act as fast, so you should be able to go about your normal day.

To successfully remove toxins from your body, you need to stop putting them in. That is why all should stop drinking coffee or soda, even just temporarily. Unfortunately, many of us have become dependent on the caffeine. If this is the case, start weaning yourself off it. This is important if you drink a lot of soda or coffee, as you may notice withdrawal symptoms when you first start your body detox. In the days leading up to your cleanse, slowly reduce your caffeine intake.

A popular way to detox or cleanse the body is to fast on water. During this time, you will not consume other liquids or solid foods. Water helps to expel toxins from your body, but the lack of solid foods also enables your body to rest and cleanse more. Although water fasting is an ideal way to detox the body, there are some risks involved. Extended fasts can lead to malnutrition. Always listen to your body.

Whether you opt for a water fast or a juice fast, it is important to proceed with caution. At the end of your fast, you may be craving a lot of food, but take it slow. Your body may have spent three to seven days without any food. It needs time to readjust. For that reason, start out small and consume easy to swallow and digest foods, like soup or applesauce.

Organic food is a great way to assist in your body’s own detoxification system. It is ideal for those who need to eat or those who are overweight. Whether you have a medical condition or have become dependent on food, you may find it tremendously challenging to go without them in a water or juice fast. Instead of suffering or giving up halfway through the detox, choose a better option. Just switch to organic, all-natural foods.

To find all-natural, organic foods, visit specialty food stores. Your grocery store may have a section, but it may be small and you may find high prices. Visit the online websites of organic food manufacturers to find moneysaving coupons. Organic food can be ordered online. Although you will have to pay for shipping, you may find the best selection.

Water should be your best friend during a cleanse or body detox. The more water you consume, the less hungry you feel and the more toxins will be expelled. On that same note, do not overdo it on the water. Too much water can lead to serious health complications. On average, eight 8-ounce glasses of water is recommended. Depending on your weight, how much you sweat, and how much you exercise, you can safely consume more.

If you opt for a detox product, like detox food pads or pills, read all directions. This is not only for your safety, but for success. Some require more than just taking a few pills; you may still need to modify your diet. Your chances of successfully eliminating toxins from your body increases when you follow all product directions.

Finally, don’t return to your normal eating habits. Regardless of how you detoxed your body, you now have a cleaner one. Right away, you should notice many benefits. These benefits may include weight loss, higher energy level, and better skin color and texture. Unfortunately, if you return to your normal eating habits, these “good feelings,” will soon disappear. Now is the perfect time to reduce your calorie intake, eat healthier foods with less sugar and salt, or make the switch to organic.
