Detox – Do It Properly

If you are reading this, you, like many other people, are probably concerned about the toxic environment and the damaging influence this may be exerting on you, on your loved ones, and on people in general.

You, along with almost everyone else on the planet, are exposed to an amazingly diverse range of agents known to have damaging effects on biological systems in general, and on ours in particular. Among such agents are literally tens of thousands of synthesised chemicals not found in nature, toxic metal contaminants once safely secured underground, and concentrations of electromagnetic radiations (E-smog), many of which may contribute to your ill health, disease and premature demise.

We live in an age in which people are progressively choosing to take more responsibility for their health. Proper detoxification lies at the heart of this choice. For you to by-pass this necessity is analogous to your attempting to build a house with its foundations imbedded in a swamp! You simply cannot build true health without proper detoxification as an initial step and as an ongoing strategy.

Nowadays, much information is available to people about almost any conceivable topic, including the subject of detoxification, through the internet, the media, self help publications and the “knowledgeable” friend or family member. However, how much of this information is actually pertinent to your individual needs? Some of it may be at best ineffectual and in some cases even harmful. One size simply does not fit all. Even though we all need to detoxify, our biochemical individuality dictates that what may be effective and health promoting for one person, may not work for another, possibly having harmful outcomes.

If you have attempted to detox in only a half-cocked manner, had “a shot” at it once or twice, followed some procedures that did not seem to have any benefit or had even a negative outcome, you have probably been misadvised. You really do need to detoxify in a manner that is tailor-made to your individual needs. When a proper detox is undertaken, frequently an array of various symptoms that have plagued you over time either disappear or are dramatically reduced, as you are, in reality, becoming biologically younger.

For you to receive optimal benefits from your detox, certain procedures or protocols need to be carried out either simultaneously or sequentially. The following is an overview:

Your gastrointestinal tract (GIT) or gut needs to be cleared of toxic debris, mucus and pathogenic organisms – fungus, bacteria, viruses, parasites etc – must be removed, the damaged and/or inflamed gut lining or “leaky gut” needs to be repaired and recolonisation with health promoting micro-flora needs to be carried out.

Your organs of detoxification, the liver/gall-bladder and kidneys need to be flushed out and supported.

Your lymphatic system, blood and cells need to be assisted in offloading toxic accumulations that may include all manner of toxic agents arising internally from the gut (endotoxins/enterotoxins) or externally ie foreign synthetic chemicals, toxic metals and so on.

Your cells need to be protected from the toxic effects of electromagnetic pollution of E-smog.

Excessive body fat reservoirs holding years of toxic accumulations need to be reduced, enabling the elimination of such toxins from the body. If you are overweight or obese, the body may only very reluctantly burn its fat due to a heavy toxic burden held in the fat.

Your bodily acid-alkaline state assessment and correction where necessary (very frequently) is extremely important as part of a thorough detox. Excessive acid states (usual) and excessive alkaline states (from time to time) are a major source of toxic accumulations due to the inhibitory effects on proper function at virtually all levels. Only when your bodily pH (assessed through urine and saliva testing) is in balance may you optimise your nutritional status.

Your toxic mental/emotional accumulations (baggage) needs to be addressed appropriately, with Kinesiology and possibly Hypnotherapy. Detox is very much needed contextually with the mind and emotions as toxic mental and emotional states are central to both dis-ease and disease.
