Natural body detoxification,cleansing and liver detox diet
Detoxification, the process of ridding our bodies of harmful substances, may help to prevent or heal many health problems
- cancer, degenerative diseases such as arthritis, autoimmune diseases, certain thyroid diseases and chronic inflammatory
diseases such as allergies, chronic infections, and bowel diseases (all of which are increasing at alarming rates.) Most toxins
can be removed through the liver and bowel. In order to treat disease and maintain optimum health it is imperative to
decrease one's toxic load through a process of natural detoxification which will cleanse the systems of the body, allowing
the body to more easily release toxins.
According to Dr Mercola of the Natural News, “Every act of every cell in the body produces
waste. This waste is poisonous; it is incompatible with the life of the cell..." "The cells throw their waste into
the lymph that carries it back to the blood. The blood takes the waste to the excretory organs mentioned above for elimination."
"Normal elimination keeps the blood and lymph clean.”Detoxification is a metabolic process in which toxins are
transformed into less-toxic, body-friendly, or more-readily excretal substances. If toxins are not eliminated from the body,
the eliminative organs are under the influence of active toxins that are retained in the tissues, where they hamper organ
functions all the way down to the cellular level.
Without being too over simplistic,detoxification hold
"the key" to ageless body and timeless health. Once you get a hold of the concept and philosophy of detoxification,
you have found the key to the treasury of health and longevity.Individuals who are genetically able to eliminate cellular
metabolic wastes without external efforts live to be centenarians.
The human body is both a food processor and a waste
disposal unit.These functions are influenced by emotions,environment,genetics,predispositions,
age,stress and nutrition. With time, we all lag behind in our ability to process food for energy and organ building. Similarly
we also lag in our ability to manage[or dispose]metabolic waste. With deterioration of these dual functions,we become prey
to organ malfunctions,afflictions and disease signs and symptoms.Doctors use drugs to suppress these manifestations
or use surgery to remove malfunctioning organs.Thus they cure[silence] our symptoms. With detoxification,we remove accumulated
hinderance that prevent normality.Hence we can slow deterioration to a crawl,slow physical degeneration,manage
chronic disease and restore quality of life. This is what healing is all about and this approach differentiates healing from
cure.Moore
Why Detoxification is Important
• The accumulation of toxins over time
may be the most important root cause of all diseases and dysfunctions and a major part of aging.
•
Detoxification enhances the immune system and the reparative, anti-aging faculties of the body.
• The reversal
of toxic accumulation through detox is critical for recovery, to restore health, especially when dealing with chronic
infection or disease such as Lyme Disease, cancer, etc.
• Detoxification can rehabilitate cells and healthy
living can aid in the process.
• As part of an overall plan, detoxification can improve digestion, skin tone, sleep,
hormonal imbalances, immune function and general health.
Detoxification
Our body is designed
to utilize natural substances, which includes foods, herbs and phytochemicals. Any foreign substance will serve as a stimulus
to our immune system, which has the function of removing these substances. Although the toxicity of a chemical may vary, it
is the job of the liver to reduce toxins into compounds that the body can safely handle and eliminate through the kidneys
(as urine), skin (as sweat), lungs (as expelled air) and bowels (as feces). Maintaining these eliminative organs in good working
order is essential for one’s good health to continue.Read moore
While there are many detoxification programs available, they differ in their actions and their intent. Some detoxification
programs (DP) work only with the bowels, others may cleanse the liver or the blood, and others may aid the kidneys or the
skin in their functions. By combining these detox programs into a total health program, one can effectively restore their
health to an optimal level and look younger in the process. When the body can eliminate toxins, then health is restored and
energy and vigor are revitalized. Many different approaches to detoxification and wellness will work, even though they attack
the problem at different levels. Any program that augments detoxification will improve health. Other factors must be considered in detoxification,
like nutrition, water, and exercise, rest, sunshine, fresh air and care of the immune system.
Detoxification Diets:
Detoxification diets help the body to eliminate toxins in
many ways. First, natural vegetarian diets include the fiber needed for stimulating good bowel eliminate. They also contain
the proper amounts of vitamins that feed and nourish the bowels and the liver, as well as other eliminative organs. They also
include a valuable source of enzymes since most vegetarian diets are eaten raw. The elimination of meat from the diet for
a short period enhances detoxification because meat is so difficult to digest and requires many enzymes for its digestion.
Therefore, vegetarian diets are cleansing diets and aid the body in elimination of toxins.Read Moore
Of course, changing diets and lifestyle is easier said than done for some people. Many people want health and will
go to any length to improve their health, including dietary changes. But there are others who do not want to change their
life style for anything. These people will be difficult to motivate and will not stick with the detox programs for one day.
They may not want to give up their sodas, or their cigarettes, their beer or their coffee. They may make a few changes,
like drinking more water, or they may give up completely in a very short notice. Our way of eating has been cultivated over
many years and will not change over night. But to those who do want better health and do not want to rely on pills/drugs for
their existence, nutritional changes will be welcomed, especially when they start feeling better and having more energy. Read Moore
Diets are very important and are usually the basis for any detox program, whether it is herbs, cleansing or other detox
programs.[i] Detox diets will generally eliminate trigger foods, which may cause many problems with digestion and elimination.
Foods like wheat (glutens) and dairy (milk, cheese) are often the cause of allergies. (gluten sensitivity) Sugar is eliminated
because of its “empty calories” and tendency to produce hypoglycemia. Meats are eliminated because they may contain
hormones, antibiotics and are difficult to digest. Caffeine is wise to avoid, since it has many ill effects on the body’s
digestion. Refined, processed and junk foods are also out for any detox program to work. Read Moore
Every detoxification must have a protocol. It starts
with the bowel or colon, followed by the liver,the kidney and the lymph. in addition,the skin and other elimination channels
mush be keep open and ready to help pass the toxic wastes out. Auto intoxication can be potentially harmful and counter productive
to the whole process. Read moore on detoxification protocol
The colon is also
called the second brain. It houses the Gut associated lymphoid tissue(GALT) which is over 70% of the entire lymphatic-immune
system. The colon through enter hepatic circulation feeds the liver with fresh nutrient filled fresh blood supply. dirty,waste
filled colon means we supply the liver with poisoned blood. This is what causes toxic blood syndrome.From the colon,we can
heal the body of all diseases.Please read moore
The detoxification in the liver is in two phases
namely I & II. To reverse liver disease through detoxification,herbs and supplements are used to aid the liver
to facilitate the two phases of detoxification. By dong this we prevent net accumulation of toxic wastes, support liver function
and regeneration. Through the liver we can support the overall health of the body. With this approach,viruses can not thrive,bile
stagnation is reversed to free flow, fatty liver is addressed,cancer cells are destroyed and cirrhosis is stopped.Milk
thistle,licorice,dandelion,burdock,artichoke,yellow dock,tumeric, and oregon grape seed are some of the principal herbs that
effectively support the two phases of liver detoxification.They flush the liver of wastes,support overall organ regeneration
and help cleanse the elimination channels like the kidneys,skin,blood,lungs and lymph.These herbs are winners any dayPlease read moore
Detoxification helps raise energy levels, eradicates pathogens, stimulates bile production, stimulates blood and lymphatic
flow, promote mucus discharge from the lungs, hydrates the colon, stimulates urine output, provides nutritional support for
organs, stimulates peristalsis, increases digestive capability and bowel function, restores the body’s ability to heal
itself, and help facilitate absorption of nutrients. Please read moore
How to Start with the Detoxification Process
The unique cleansing detoxification
process is individually tailored based on your health goals, biology, body chemistry, exposure to toxins and current health
status. Removing the toxins from your body involves understanding the process and products. It is evolutionary and expands
as your health improves and starts to optimize.
The toxins that need to be removed in order for our bodies to optimally
function include heavy metals, toxic chemicals, toxins from chronic infestations (Lyme, Candida, mold, parasites, virus),
halogens (chlorine, flouride, bromine), and unwanted calcium accumulation.
The Detoxification
Process
During the process of detoxification, you work from the outside, or external environment, to
the inside of the body, the internal environment.
First is an assessment of your health, mouth (mercury fillings,
cavitations or jaw bone infection), and external environment. You will clean up your external environment and begin to detoxify
the bowel, liver and blood with natural cleansing products.
The next phase may start with the addition of supplements
or additional strategies such as IV therapy, or Detoxification Therapies such as far infrared sauna and colonics, or colon
hydrotherapy.
While many may be able to do a simple natural cleanse on their own, we have found that no matter what
process they choose, patients reap the most benefits when they are guided by a coach or medical supervisor on their detoxification
journey

Detoxification [including heavy metal detox] involves the removal of wastes from the body.Often times
essential minerals and nutrients are also lost. After detoxification,colloidal minerals are the best source of replacement
minerals for those depleted during detoxification.Please read moore
A full liver cleansing automatically cleanses the
the whole body,the gallbladder, the pancreatic gland, and the spleen, plus it assists in cleansing the stomach, small intestine,
colon, thyroid gland and others. This procedure also strengthens the lymphatic-immune system and improves the tone of the
kidneys. All of this is important because the liver, blood,
lymphatic system, spleen, and bone marrow are part of the immune system. The stronger each one is, the better they work together
and the stronger the entire immune system is. Therefore, if you have your liver cleansed, and then maintain its cleanliness
consistently, it will not allow serious disease to penetrate and enter the body. It will be free to do its job efficiently
and powerfully.
The
best way to understand detoxification is by observing animals when the fall sick. They don’t go for more medicines!
When animals are sick or poisoned, they stop eating, eat earth or vomit. They practice detoxification. The process whereby
which we eat clay to detoxify the body is called geophagy.Earth does not refer to sand which have harmful bacteria but clay
found deep in the soil. Clay could be red, white or yellow. Clay is a source of earth minerals and anti poisons that have
the capacity to bind mycotoxins and endotoxins into their own structure, deactivate them and allow them to be passed out or
excreted in the feaces. Clay help absorb excess fluids from the intestinal lining thus help heal diarrhea. Monkeys eat fruits
and leaves but still risk their life to come down and dig up clay from the soil. When a rat is poisoned, it goes looking for
clay to eat and in a few days it is cured. Sadly, when humans get sick, we add more toxic cooked food and drugs to our system.
We suppress the illness, feel good momentarily and postpone the doom day
The body has the inherent capability to detoxify itself, but it cannot do this if its elimination channels are blocked
and calcified due to years of degenerative living. Imagine a vacuum cleaner with a dust bag that is completely stuffed. You
can try and vacuum up dirt (toxins) all you want, but until you clear the dust bag, not much will happen. In fact, it could
even make the mess temporarily worse, if the vacuum spews dust back into the air. Read moore
Far infra-red saunas generate molecular vibrations that accelerate metabolic exchanges between cells, decreases pain by facilitating
lymphatic and vascular circulation. Like using solvents to cut grease and facilitate their removal with detergents,
Infra red saunas help break protective rings around molecules in the body decreasing their abilities to become carcinogenic.
It makes bonds between toxins weak thus facilitating their easy eliminating through the eliminative channels.Read Moore
Herbs that support detoxification& blood cleanse

Herbal Detoxification:
Generic diets for detoxification are good, but may not
stimulate the liver, lungs or the kidneys as much as one would like. Therefore, herbal cleanses are indicated when we want
to hone our cleanse to a “sharp edge” and be organ specific. Of course, herbs are foods too and provide one with
vitamins, minerals and enzymes for excellent nutrition. Herbs are powerful, because they may be combined together to fortify
those herbs that aid specific organs. For example, herbal combinations that aid the liver may be found in many organic food
stores. The list below shows how herbal combinations help the various organs. Read Moore
Skin Cleansing:
Detoxification should include some type of skin cleansing,
because our skin it one of our best eliminative organs. Heavy metals are actually released through the skin’s pores
when we sweat. Sauna baths and steam rooms are great for removing toxins from the skin and regenerating one’s health
and energy. It has been documented that our skin’s sweat glands when combined can perform as much detoxification as
one (or both) kidneys. Therefore, it is very important to support our skin for detoxification to be maximal. If our kidneys
are damaged, then helping the skin will help the kidneys ... indirectly, but effectively. Read Moore
Good skin care is in order, if one’s health is to benefit, also. Using chemicalized skin care products is not
wise, even though they are cheaper. These chemicals may be absorbed into our circulation and provide more “toxins”
for our liver to deal with. We are not made out of cast iron, and even the chemicals in our soaps and shampoos will
make a difference with our health. Most people do not “see” the ill effects of these subtle chemicals, because
their liver is able to metabolize them. But, individuals who are environmentally toxic will see a great change in their health
when using natural soaps and shampoos. We should take their advice and use only natural skin care products also.
Cleansing
our skin is rather simple. First, we need to bathe daily using natural soaps. Then we need to care for the skin by using only
natural oils and products of natural origin. Even the clothes we wear can make a big difference in our health. Synthetic fibers
do not absorb sweat (toxins), while natural fibers, like cotton, will absorb toxins. Dry skin brushing helps in removing the
outer dead skin layers and keeps the pores open. Another good method of skin brushing is with vigorous toweling off after
bathing. Towel roughly until the skin is slightly red. Change towels often because they will contain toxins.
Good skin
care also requires good nutrition.[ii] Since our skin is mainly fat, we need high quality fats and oil from natural sources
to give our skin health. Butter and olive oil are two excellent natural oils, which keep the skin in good condition. As always,
the fats/oils should be natural ... only.
Detoxification Baths:
Use ½ cup
of baking soda or use ½ cup of Epsom salt or use ½ cup of sea salt. Soak for 15-20 minutes and then scrub the
skin gently with soap on a natural fiber. Within a few minutes the water will turn murky and “dirty.” The darkness
to the water is heavy metals coming out of the skin (aluminum and mercury). Do this once a week during detox and once a month
for maintenance. (more on detox bath: Hot Seaweed Bath - Thalassotherapy Read Moore
Pure Inside Out - a fabulous detox resource website There is undeniably a lot of hype and a lot of confusion
about the why and the how of detox. A whole new thriving industry is now based on detox aids. While some of these might genuinely
work, unfortunately a good number are just a useless waste of time, energy and money. The detox industry has capitalised on
our fear and bewilderment in the face of the countless toxin-related health scares promoted by the media on a daily basis.
Some argue that the origin of all disease is an accumulation of toxins in the body, while others completely reject this theory.
Some traditional doctors even claim that detox is just another fad.
Juice Fasting:
Fasting with vegetable juices can be another excellent way to develop good health and cleanse the body of toxins. Juices,
minus their pulp (fiber), contain an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. When the pulp is not added, one is
able to drink more juice than they are able to eat. For example, one can easily consume the juice of several heads of lettuce
in one sitting, but may not be able to eat the lettuce whole. This allows the body to get an abundance of nutrients with minimal
processing (digestion). Fasting on mono-juices also allows the body proper time to process these juices and helps to preserve
our valuable digestive enzymes.
Juice fasting has helped many people over come serious diseases like cancer, because it gave them optimal nutrition
and allowed the body to cleanse itself of toxins. [According to many nutritionists, cancer is merely a toxic condition.] With
some juicers, the pulp is discarded, but it may be saved and added back for fiber (not too much). Juices contain good sources
of antioxidants and enzymes, both of which are needed for cleansing and eliminating toxins. Juices are also easy to digest
and help those with digestive problems. (more on the healing power of fasting) Read Moore
The Gut associated lymphoid tissues [GALT] are the lymphatic system in the digestive tract.
Because over 70 % of the lymphatic system is in the digestive system, it is referred to as the second brain. Taking care of
the digestive system means taking care of your immune system.The bowels are where most toxins find their way into general body tissues through enterohepatic
circulation. We cannot start the organ-rebuilding process without cleaning the bowels of accumulated caked fecal matter. As
Gloria Gilbere puts it, “If the gut is not healthy, neither is the rest of the body.” Read moore
How
do toxins cause organ degeneration?
Studies show that about 90 percent of all metabolic activities in the cells take place
in the cell membranes. Toxins inculcate themselves in the cell membranes, displace nutrients, and disrupt metabolic activities.
The liver becomes swollen and puts pressure on adjourning organs which results in pain. Most drugs, like toxins, are mostly
lipid-soluble. When taken, they have to be processed by the liver before being absorbed and used by the body. Water-soluble
drugs are not well absorbed by the body and have difficulty getting to the bloodstream. When these toxins overburden the liver,
they hamper its functions, and the liver becomes sluggish and overflows through the hepatic veins into systemic circulation.
This makes the liver cells porous, exacerbates free-radical damage, and causes viral infections to become infective.From systemic circulation, these toxins are deposited in the organs and tissues of the body. They interfere with metabolism
at the cellular level and result in constitutional acidity. Toxins are stored in fat tissues where they fuel irritations and
chronic inflammations that lead to progressive degenerative liver diseases. They are trapped in the fat cells and cell membranes
where they influence cellular functions. They are not easily eliminated from the human body
The discomforts associated with these occurrences manifest as signs and symptoms which
orthodox medicine addresses with suppressive drugs. Through a series of biofeedback mechanisms, the body builds its homeostasis
around these drugs that establishes a “pacifier effect.” For optimal health, the human body requires an 80 : 20
alkaline-to-acid ratio. Over 96 percent of prescription and non-prescription drugs are toxic and create acid-forming reactions
in the body. Viruses and organ degeneration thrive best under acidic conditions. This approach marks the end of health
care for the patient and the beginning of disease care by the doctor, making disease care the fastest growing failing enterprise
in the world.
Like all filters, the liver’s
pores become clogged with toxins which disrupt its filtration ability. Consequently, contaminants that cannot be filtered
are stored in the liver, which in turn creates a pressure build-up within the liver. The ability to filter out new contaminants
is also hampered. This leads to back-ups, and the toxin that cannot be filtered circulates in the body and in the different
organs and tissues of the body at the cellular level. The storage of these accumulated lipid-soluble toxins in the membranes
of the liver cells increases the workload of the immune system and degenerative diseases emerge. If the filtration pores are
clogged, the liver is enlarged and immunological functions are jeopardized. This ultimately calls for detoxification.
Detoxification done with vegetable and fruit juices (or powdered super foods ) supplies enzymes
for the detoxification process, replenish pro-biotics after colonics, pull toxins from cells and tissues, binds heavy metals
from the blood, tissues, and organs, while nourishing the body with deficient essential nutrients and immunological building
blocks. Fruits and vegetables are some of the surest ways to deliver nutrients, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents,
and pro-biotics from the soil. They also deliver oxygen directly to the human body, since most filtered, purified, distilled,
and tap water are devoid of nutrients. Organic fruits and vegetables bring the human body closer to what nature intended.
The enzymatic component of fruits and vegetable juices strips cancer cells of their incentives to metastasize. They create
the greatest opportunity for enzymes and co-enzymes (vitamins) to come into the body and work together to influence constitutional
alkalinity and metabolic harmony. They have strong properties that can reach deep into the cells, tissues, and organs, and
pull and neutralize toxins through a chelating process. Detoxification is similar to any external cleansing regimen that requires
water and solvents. The water takes the solvents to places where cleansing is needed and then carries the dirt away. The solvents
dissolve the dirt and make it easier for the water to flush it away. In humans, the solvents are the herbal remedies and vegetable
juices that have the ability to pull, attract, and dissolve toxins through a chelating process.
How enzymes in
whole foods and green drinks facilitate detoxification
When
we embalm our food so it stays longer on the shelves of grocery stores, we shut of its healing potential by stopping detoxification.
For our mango-plucking ancestors, detoxification is a passive process, a chore that occurred naturally because of their daily
consumption of enzyme-rich foods. With food processing and preservation, detoxification has become a proactive ritual we have
to embark upon to heal ourselves and body of disease and the dangerous foods and chemicals we encounter. Liver detoxification involves enzyme systems that the liver
uses in the transformation of toxins to less harmful waste products. During this transformation, toxins, drugs and wastes
are converted to intermediate products the body can handle and eventually eliminate. These enzyme systems were part of human
evolution designed to neutralize endogenous byproducts of metabolism that need to be deactivated by the body. Heating and
processing of food takes away the enzymes, thus making natural detoxification impossible and disease prevalent. The microsomal
enzymes in whole foods help to neutralize toxins like spoilt foods and environmental toxins that early humans encounter in
the wild.
Liver
microsomal detoxifications are divided into Phase 1 and Phase 2 enzyme systems, also known as the cytochrome P450 enzyme systems.
With the liver’s enzymes systems, toxins and food are passed through oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis or hydroxylation,
which turns them into less-toxic water soluble substances. The enzymes systems, like all other enzymes in the body, need nutrients
as fuel for their different functions.
Phase 1 detoxification.The synthesis of the enzymes for this phase is induced when the liver is exposed to toxins or processed foods.
These enzymes are responsible for the change of fat soluble toxins into intermediate forms. Free radicals generated during
these transformations are acted upon by antioxidants in our food. The process is called anti-oxidation. Anti-oxidation
is a form of detoxification that neutralizes free radicals during Phase 1 detoxification. If free radicals are allowed to
fester in the body, aging and degeneration of our tissues will make us prone to disease. One of the most important antioxidant
needed for neutralizing the free radical generated from Phase 1 detoxification is glutathione . Glutathione is a tripeptide
that consists of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It is responsible for the detoxification of fat
soluble compounds and heavy metals.Glutathione-rich foods include avocados, watermelons, asparagus, squash,
grapefruit, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, cantaloupe, broccoli, papaya, onions, mushrooms, and walnuts. Limonene-containing
foods include citrus peel, dill weed oil, and caraway oil.
Some toxins are ready for elimination
at this stage while others as passed on to the next stage of detoxification. The intermediates formed during this process
are often more toxic than the original substance. “These intermediate metabolites if allowed to fester around can drastically
affect the immune system which ultimately leads to the suppression of the immune system.” If there are not enough antioxidants
and nutrients to detoxify these toxic metabolites, they are stored in the liver and fat tissues where they cause organic diseases
that plague humanity. Nutrients required for Phase 1 detoxification are the B vitamins, vitamin A (beta carotene), folic acid,
vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione, lecithin, chlorophyll, and essential fatty acids.
The Phase 2 enzyme system is a conjugation process. The conjugation process involves the attachment
(joining) of toxic intermediates wastes from Phase 1 detoxification with proteins derived from foods. The joining or conjugation
processes is donewith the aid offood enzymes so that the attached intermediates are
ultimately converted to water soluble less toxic substrates that are excreted safely through the urine or bile. All these
process occur automatically without our knowledge when we consume enzyme rich foods like carrots, peaches, apricots, sweet
potato, beets, tomatoes, kale, squash, green pear, collards, cantaloupe, cayenne pepper, hot peppers and broccoli.
There are two forms of detoxification, namely, internal and external.
·Internal detoxification is the intake of botanical remedies through the mouth, intravenous route or the anus. From the mouth,
they pass through the digestive system and are absorbed into the blood and lymph where they pull toxins from the tissues.
The toxins are then returned to the kidneys and the intestines where they are eliminated as wastes. Colon hydrotherapy is
a form of internal detoxification where water and/or botanical supplements are passed into the body from the rectum.
Because they are not degraded by the stomach acids, they are more potent than orals. The same is applicable to intravenous
administration of nutrients. However the intravenous method must be done in a clinical setting, under qualified supervision
·External detoxification involves the use of saunas, ionic foot detox, detox baths, body creams, sweat therapies and massage
therapy to pull toxins from the outside. When aggressive detoxification is required, both internal and external detoxification
may be employed. However, for maintenance of health, oral detoxification may be combined with the external detoxification
quarterly.
The most commonly used herbs
for oral detoxification are burdock, licorice, dandelion, yellow duck, Oregon grape root, turmeric, Echinacea, cleavers, artichoke
and milk thistle. These herbs will heal the body, restore liver functions, create an environment unfavorable for microbes
and toxins, flush the gallbladder, rebuild the liver, heal fatty liver disease and nourish the organ systems.
How do herbs differ from vegetables and fruit juices in healing the body?
The English word “fruit” is derived from the Latin verb frui, which
means to enjoy or take pleasure in. All fruits contain natural malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, and other nutrients
that aid in detoxification. Fruits and vegetables primarily supply the body with deficient nutrients, and the body utilizes
them to rebuild its defenses against diseases. They work through the alkalization process i.e. changes the body’s PH
from acidic diseased state to healthy alkaline stateHerbs work like a two-edged sword. They
resupply nutritional deficiencies and concurrently have phytonutrients or secondary compounds which actually “fight
disease cells” and viruses and rebuild the body. Ironically, herbs are superior to fruits and vegetable juices. It is
advisable to combine both for optimal healing. Botanical remedies have complex intelligence systems that go counter to the
intelligence of disease cells. These complex systems utilize a process called “phyto confusion” to confuse and
overwhelm disease cells to influence healing. The phyto confusion theory is propagated for the first time by Dr. Peter Oyakhire.
The enzymes
in green drinks are the sparkplugs and the power behind the detox-healing process. When dealing with cancer, it is best to
abstain from fruits and concentrate on vegetables because of their sugar content. Dried fruits are often dipped in a sulphur
solution to give then appealing brilliant colors. Sulphur compounds deactivate and destroy the B vitamins. Sulphur dioxide
is poisonous. It combines with sulphurous acids and alkalis before being released by the body as waste. This process robs
the body of needed alkaline bases, destroys the kidneys, and deactivates the formation of red blood cells. Dried fruits have
higher sugar content because most of their water has been removed.
Flora:
Our bowel flora is also important for detoxification and normal health.
Probiotics is the term given to the normal bowel flora, which are taken as supplements. It has been found that these normal
flora actually defend our body from the pathogenic species of bacteria and perform many vital functions, such as detoxification
of toxic chemicals and making valuable vitamins (mainly the B vitamins). When our normal flora are present they secrete
mediators in which the pathogenic forms cannot grow. But the reverse is also true, that when the pathogenic forms take over,
they will exclude the normal flora with their toxins.
Many scientists feel that it is the toxins secreted from the
pathogens and not the pathogens themselves that create disease. The ability of all bacteria to change and grow under specific
conditions of their immediate environment is called pleiomorphism. Cell wall deficient forms are “bacteria” which
lack a defined cell wall, yet have all the specifications of being bacterial-like. Even viruses have been found to exhibit
morphological forms, which resemble bacteria and fungus. While this is not widely accepted by modern medical scientists, it
hass been proven beyond a shadow of doubt by eminent scientists, like Virginia Livingston Wheeler, Irene Diller, and Royal
Rife. Their microscopic studies have revealed that bacteria and viruses and fungus may be all different forms of the same
organism, differing only by the environment in which they are grown.
Antibiotics kill off the good bacteria as well
as the bad and allow the bad to repopulate and develop antibiotic resistance. Natural forms of antibiotics are better, since
they do not kill off the good bacteria with the bad and do not allow drug” resistance to take place. Garlic, for example,
is perhaps, 200 times more effective against pathogens than most antibiotics today. And it does not produce antibiotic resistance
forms, which is a danger to all our health. As antibiotics become more widely used, more antibiotic resistant forms will be
encountered. Herbal antiseptics and anti-bacterial tonics are far better and less dangerous to our over-all health, because
they do not kill of the good bacteria with the bad.
Replacing our natural flora is a good step for preventing disease
and keeping our bowels healthy and populated with normal flora. Taking Probiotics containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and
Bifidus can help us in our detox program and also in repopulating the gut after a cleanse. Our normal healthy flora
should be a part of any detoxification program.
Antioxidants:
The use of
antioxidants, like vitamins A, E and especially C, are very essential for detoxification since they are involved with the
detoxification of toxins. Antioxidants are involved with helping cells to neutralize free radicals that can cause mutations
and cellular damage. As these free radicals are neutralized, the antioxidant vitamins will be used and exhibit low levels.
Vitamin A and E are fat soluble and will be found in our fat tissues/stores, but vitamin C is water soluble and will be found
mainly in our skin (between the cells according to Reams). Vitamin C is also involved with many other important bodily functions,
like collagen formation, wound healing, energy production and fighting off colds (viruses). Read moore
The function of antioxidants is so important that any deficiency of them will be seen as catastrophic to one’s
health. When our antioxidants are low, energy is not available and detoxification cannot take place in a normal fashion. Therefore,
toxins accumulate or are stored until they can be processed. The liver and many other organs are compromised in their
functions when antioxidants are low. Just the lack of energy is enough to cause the body to have compromised or poor health,
because it is energy that is required for the removal of toxins and wastes. Vitamin C should be taken with bioflavinoids
to ensure that all the components of the vitamin C complex are taken together, since they work together. Pure ascorbic acid
is called vitamin C, but does little by itself. We tend to think that ascorbic acid as vitamin C, but it is only part of the
vitamin C complex. Vitamin C is very essential to any detoxification program, because that is what the body uses for energy
to process and eliminate these toxic wastes. Think of vitamin C as the gas in the dump truck carrying toxins to the waste
dump. Without gas the truck is not going to remove wastes or move at all. Without vitamin C our body is not going to
“dump” its toxic load. Therefore, ensure adequate vitamin C and always take vitamin C with bioflavinoids
for optimal benefit. Read Moore
Vitamin C can be taken in very high doses until the bowel tolerance level [BTL] is achieved. This BTL is different
for different people. Some persons reach tolerance at 4-5 grams (4,000-5,000 mg), while others may not reach tolerance until
10-15 grams (10,000-15,000 mg). Cancer patients notorously can take 20-30 grams (20,000-30,000 mg) of vitamin C before tolerance
is reached ... meaning that they needed more vitamin C than most people. By taking vitamin C to its tolerance level we find
out 1) what our BTL is and 2) how saturated our body is with Vitamin C. Vitamin C was found by Linus Pauling and Ewan
Cameron to be very effective in helping many patients to over come that killer disease, called cancer. Perhaps, this was because
vitamin C was needed for detoxification of toxins, which “caused” the cancer in the first place. Although Pauling
and Cameron were greatly criticized for their work with vitamin C, they were able to help many people overcome cancer and
without compromising their health as toxic chemotherapies often did. Read Moore
Enzymes:
The use of enzymes in detoxification is important, because the body needs
an adequate supply of enzymes, not only for digestion, for also for detoxification.[iii] Enzymes are best obtained from fresh
raw fruits and vegetables, but may be taken daily with meals as nutritional supplements of multi-digestive enzymes. Enzymes
in our food helps us to digest that food, but many foods today are processed, refined, heated (cooked), radiated and stored,
which destroys enzymes and leaves it non-vital.[iv] Foods with enzymes destroyed will have a longer shelf life, but will not
give one health when it is eaten. Read Moore
Fresh raw fruits and vegetables are the best source for enzymes and help to give one vibrant health. Enzymes
are also used by the body in detoxification of toxic substances. The liver is the source of most detoxification enzymes, which
it must make, or store. To aid the body in removing and eliminating wastes and toxins, enzymes are best taken in between meals.
This way they do not get involved with digestion, but go to the liver and to the blood for detoxification.
Many therapies
have utilized enzymes for improving health and enzymes have long been the key to many detoxification therapies which have
helped many to over come that dreaded disease, cancer. Kelley, Gerson, Moerman, and Neiper used alternative nutritional
therapies with enzymes for curing cancer. The famous Wobe Mugos enzymes from Europe were utilized with Laetrile therapies
for cancer. Never was Laetrile give alone, but was used with vitamins, diet and enzymes. This made the Laetrile therapy very
successful in the 1970s. If cancer is a toxic condition, which many feel that it is, then taking enzymes will help it. And
it does.
The use of raw foods in many detoxification diets are using the enzymes found naturally in those foods. Additionally,
these raw foods provide fiber and, with proper food combining, will not waste the body enzymes reserves. Preserving enzymes
is the key to over coming disease and living to ripe old age and remaining healthy. Yes, vitamins and minerals are important,
but vitamins are enzyme co-factors and many minerals are use to activate enzymes. Therefore, the vitamins and minerals
themselves are only augmenting the role of the enzymes which are detoxifying toxins and supporting metabolism.
Enzymes
also help the bowels in cleansing, because they liquefy the bowel content, which makes transit much easier. The role of enzymes
in digestion is to break down foods for digestion and absorption. When foods are broken down they become more liquid and the
bowels move much easier and faster. Transit time is decreased and our health is increased when toxins are removed and eliminated.
Perhaps, this is a link to breaking the “constipation chain.” Enzymes are the key to health. Preserve our enzymes
and we will be healthy for a long time. Read Moore

According
to Shé D'Montford, Shambhallah, from Australia ‘The human body "WILL HEAL"... If we get out of our
own way and allow it, it heals itself. It is our basic nature. Anybody who tells you other than that is trying to sell you
something. No matter what you have been told. Don't give up on yourself and don't buy into the lines like ... ‘oh well
you've had a good life'... 'at your age'... and the worst of all ...'there's nothing further I can do, I suggest you finalize
your affairs'... How dare anyone tell you to give up! So much in society combines to convince us of the propaganda that some
things never get better. It's up to you ... do you want to get better? Make things better? It is human nature to make things
better, evolve and grow.”
