Can toxicity be detected?
The medical community recognizes only acute toxicity, the type that leads to painful, sudden and severe symptoms, including cramping, nausea, vomiting, sweating, headaches, breathing difficulties, convulsions and impaired cognitive, motor and language skills.
The effect of consumption, inhalation, skin contact and other exposure is clear. Such frequent occurrences are observed on job sites when workers are exposed to hazardous substances, and to a smaller extent on the home front.
Pesticide, herbicide and chemical fertilizer are usually ingested and can make otherwise healthy people chemically sensitive and environmentally ill. As this is a gradual process, the symptoms may develop over several years and are often interchangeable with other signs of poor health, thus the culprits are not suspected.
Need to detox
Virtually all chronically sick patients have sustained significant exposure to toxic substances.
Toxic metals such as aluminum, cadmium, lead, cobalt and arsenic are easily found in unknowing patients. For instance, mercury is planted in anyone who has done amalgam fillings or root canals. Cocoa and chocolate products have some of the highest levels of lead found in any food item.
Dose, duration, manner of exposure, biochemical individuality, genetic propensity, diet quality and stress levels combine to determine the degree of ill effects.
Babies can be contaminated at birth because mercury and other metals pass through the placenta from intoxicated mothers. The Environmental Working Group reports that blood samples taken from the umbilical blood of newborns show an average of 287 toxins, including mercury, fire retardants, pesticides, and Teflon chemicals. No wonder babies come into this world with compromised digestive and immune systems. Vaccinations containing mercury and aluminum worsen the matter, often sending an already vulnerable child over the edge into autism, ADD and ADHD, life-threatening allergies and autoimmune diseases.
Do a simple test. If you suspect of having any 3 or more symptoms, is time to consider a detox:+ Having asthma, eczema or sinusitis?
+ Having allergies or are you sensitive to chemicals or pollution?
+ Having wheezing or skin outbreaks frequently?
+ Having digestive problems?
+ Feeling worse after exercise?
+ Experiencing fatigue on and off?
Process of detoxification
For good internal housekeeping, all harmful substances should be eliminated or neutralized using built-in defenses and resources, especially during our sleeping hours. The complex process of detoxification involves the immune system (especially the white blood cells), the lungs, kidneys, colon, liver and the skin (biggest organ in our body).
The ability to cope well goes for a younger and healthier body. Thus, the older or less healthy you are, the poorer is this protective response and the greater possibility of damage occurring to your body.
Liver as detoxifier. In addition to its vital functions in digestion and energy production, the liver acts as a major detoxifier. It combines toxic substances such as metabolic waste products, insecticide residues, drugs, alcohol and other harmful chemicals with substances that are less toxic which are then excreted by the kidneys and colon. The other detoxifying organs include the lungs, skin, colon, kidney and lymphatic system. If they do not receive the relevant or adequate nutrients, their functions can be compromised, resulting in build-up of toxic materials which can ruin our health.
How to detox: The best means of removing toxins and wastes from the body is a fast and a ritual monthly practice for most desirable result. Day-to-day cleansing is preferable for those who believe in good health at all times. Fasting is highly recommended for any illness, as it allows the body the rest it needs to recover. Acute illnesses, colon disorders, allergies and respiratory illnesses are most responsive to fasting, whilst chronic degenerative diseases are the least responsive.
By relieving the body of the work of digesting foods, fasting permits the system to rid itself of toxins and facilitates healing. Possible fasting results -
+ A 3 days’ fast helps to purge toxins and cleanse the blood.
+ A 5 days’ fast begins with the process of healing and rebuilding the immune system.
+ A 10 days’ fast can take care of many health problems before they arise and help to fight off illness, including degenerative diseases.
In a total perspective, by fasting regularly, all the organs are put to rest, and thus help to reverse the aging process and live a longer and healthier life.
What to do?
+ To prepare for the fast, eat only raw vegetables and fruits for two days. This will make the fast less of a shock to the system.
+ Water is essential during detoxification in transporting nutrients and eliminate waste from cells. However, do not fast on water alone. All all-water fast releases toxins too quickly, causing headaches and worse.
- Dilute pure juices with the water (ratio 3:1)
- Best fruit lemon. Avoid tomato and orange juice.
- Never combine fruit and vegetable juices and drink immediately after preparation.
+ No cooked foods as the size of the stomach and the amount of secreted digestive juices may decrease during fasting.
+ A good green supplement such as green barley, spirulina or chlorella to supply the body with a full range of food state, chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids.
+ Herbal tea can be added for variety.
+ To incorporate fermented drinks that are rich in electrolytes and enzymes to facilitate cleansing. Some of the best functional beverages to include in a fasting cleanse include fermented whey, coconut water kefir and apple cider vinegar. Also include naturally fermented foods that can destroy pathogenic organisms and create die-off effects.
+ For those with chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypoglycemia (use a protein supplement during fasting), fasting more than 3 days should do so only under the supervision of a qualified health professional for close monitoring of glucose level.
+ Pregnant women should never fast.
Health benefits
+ Cleansing helps to release hormone secretions that stimulate immune response and encourage a disease preventing environment. In fact, after a detoxification process you should see digestion usually improves right away as accumulated waste and fermenting bacteria are cleansed of.
+ Excess mucus and congestion are removed as the two filtering organs namely liver and kidneys are purified, resulting in a lowering of serum fats that thins the blood, tissue oxygenation is increased and white blood cells are moved more efficiently.
+ Even the stomach size can be reduced for those with tummies and desire to lose weight. The energy usually used for digestion is redirected to immune function, cell growth and eliminatory processes.
+ Many glands and nerve functions are restored as the body starts to rebalance itself. Energy levels (physical and psychological) will rise. Focus, mental clarity and creativity begin to expand, impossible under chemical overload.
In general, most people enjoy the good feeling of lighter weight and boosted energy after the detoxification process. Dependency of habit forming substances like sugar, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol or drugs is reduced. They tend to kick bad habits and lead a healthy lifestyle thereafter.
Temporary setback/healing crisis
It is not uncommon for individuals starting a program of natural healing to suffer from detoxification reactions commonly known as healing crisis whereby toxins are being expelled into the different systems of the body.
A healing crisis is a common experience centered on the basis that you become worse before you feel better.
- The natural process begins with the cells releasing toxins (eg. pesticides and drugs) into the blood and lymphatic circulation but the elimination organs (i.e. skin, lungs, liver, kidneys, bladder & GI tract) are not able to cope and eliminate them fast enough and thus the toxins remain in circulation.
- Another common cause of the healing crisis has to do with the dying off of certain pathogenic organisms in the body such as Candida yeast infections, viruses and bacteria. It triggers off the release of stored endotoxins in the microbes which enter circulation and thus interfere with normalized function. A massive scale involving more pathogens pose a temporary health hazard for some individuals. Extreme actions are usually felt by people who are already suffering from major illnesses or are quickly building disease processes.
Most people base their health on how they are feeling and think that the natural health program is hurting them when they go through a healing crisis. The longer toxins or pathogenic organisms remain in the body, the worse their health will be and the faster they will develop disease. Eliminating such toxins from the body is a vital part of allowing the repair of damaged cells and tissue. After undergoing the cleansing process, the body should be healthier and able to eliminate toxins effectively. Symptoms usually reduce or are eliminated within two to three days but on rare occasions can last a few weeks.
The most common symptoms associated with a healing crisis include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, night sweats, hot/cold flashes, increased blood pressure, headaches, joint pain and fatigue.
Do not be discouraged by a temporary discomfort and abandon your detoxification program.
Conclusion
Unless parents also detoxify themselves before conception, this trend will not reverse, and we will continue to see the degeneration of children’s health. Going forward, the gene inheritance factor gets weaker and humans can face extinction if a terrible epidemic were to break out worldwide.
Good nutrition is of prime importance because a deficiency of vital minerals will lead to their replacement by toxic metals in enzyme binding sites. Basically, minerals act as coenzymes, enabling the body to perform its functions, including energy production, growth and healing.
For instance, if the body lacks nutrients like calcium, potassium and other minerals in the diet, the external elements structured similarly are being absorbed into the cells by substitution. If the cells obtain all nutrients they need from your diet, such radioactive substitutes become redundant and are likely to be discarded from the body.
The following examples are substitutes:
+ Lead for calcium
+ Cadmium for zinc
+ Aluminum and nickel for magnesium and manganese.
Always consider detoxifying when you have a health problem. Even for those who are relatively healthy should make it a daily ritual to achieve optimal health and prevention of disease.
