Everyday we are exposed to an
abundance of toxins. The body has the innate ability to
detoxify, however, it struggles to keep up the demands of
detoxification due to the multitude of toxins encountered on a
daily basis. Among these toxins are daily consumption of
processed foods, fast foods, medications, cleaning products,
solvents, many environmental toxins and much more! With so many
toxins in the body, they deplete the critical and necessary
nutrients required to detoxify properly.
How does a toxic burden
contribute to ailments in the body?
 |
Cancer |
|
|
Digestive issues such as gas, bloating, constipation,
diarrhea, heartburn |
|
|
Allergies, psoriasis, eczema |
|
|
Arthritis, chronic pain, joint pain |
|
|
Weight Gain |
|
|
Autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,
chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia. |
|
|
Impaired immune system |
|
|
Headaches and fatigue |
|
|
Impaired memory and concentration |
|
|
PMS/Hormonal imbalance |

Anxiety and stress |
Many
ailments require more support than just detoxification, but
detoxification is a superb way to begin the healing process at
the cellular level to optimal health.
Where do toxins come from?
Here are just a few sources…..
THE ENVIRONMENT
Over 6 trillion pounds of chemicals are dumped in one year! We
are exposed to these chemicals daily through the air we breathe,
the water we drink and even the food we eat!
|
|
Chemicals in water
supplies: chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, parasites
and other contaminants. |
|
|
Chemicals dumped into
sewage…. |
|
|
Air emissions, carbon
monoxide, cigarette smoke…. |
|
|
Household cleaners,
paints, solvents, dry cleaning….
|
|
|
Heavy metals:
Aluminum –
antiperspirant deodorants, cookware, foil, cosmetics,
lotions,
baking powder,
soaps….
Mercury –
dental amalgams, fish (albacore tuna highest content),
cosmetics….. |
(Mercury
is the 2nd most toxic metal in the world after Uranium.)
FOOD SUPPLY
|
|
Pesticides, chemical
fertilizers and herbicides used in growing the food
supply… |
(Did you know
that pesticides banned years ago are still found in the soil
today?)
|
|
Food additives in
processed foods…artificial colors and preservatives….
|
(These
chemicals are foreign to the body. Yellow dye alone is a huge
contributor to
aggravating
asthma and allergies. Average consumption of additives is 190lbs
a year!)
|
|
Artificial Sweeteners
– aspartame, saccharin, sucralose…..
|
|
|
Animals in the meat
supply treated with antibiotics and hormones…..their
feed treated with pesticides…..
|
|
|
Medications and
alcohol….. |
EMOTIONS & LIFESTYLE
|
|
Negative
emotions/attitudes….create stored toxins in the body
|
|
|
Stress…cause of
depletion of vital nutrients for detoxification
|
Never before has the
population been subjected to so many toxins and stress producing
lifestyles as we are today! Realistically we cannot avoid
toxins, but we can lessen the toxic load placed on our bodies by
building them up, enabling them to combat and manage the toxic
burden we face each day.
THE DETOXIFICATION PROCESS
Toxins are stored in the fat cells and at higher levels of
toxicity they are stored in the connective tissues and joints.
The organs involved in detoxification are the kidneys, lungs,
lymph, skin, blood thyroid, colon and liver. The liver is the
main organ to detoxify. Consider it like the oil filter in your
car. You know what happens to the parts in our car if we do not
change the oil regularly…..the parts start to break down and
eventually fail. An overburdened liver can not function properly
and other organs will suffer the consequences.
The body requires a Phase
I and Phase II Detoxification Process. The entire body is
involved, not just the colon or liver.
Phase I – activates the toxin making it water soluble for
excretion
Phase II – delivers toxins out of the body
It is essential that any detoxification program you embark upon
has all the ingredients for both phases of detoxification.
There are many detoxification
products available on the market, but after extensive research
and my own personal use, I recommend a detoxification program
from Standard Process
www.standardprocess.com or Designs for Health
www.designsforhealth.com
The kit will include all
products necessary for Phase I and Phase II detoxification. The
program consists of consuming shakes and eating fruits and
vegetable for day 1-10 and adding protein on day 11-21. The
average weight loss for women is 13lbs and for men is 15lbs. To
receive the program, email
rhonda@healthysolutionstoday.com Since this is a
professional detoxification program, it is vital you are under
the care of a healthcare professional. I will be available via
phone or email for you during your 21-day cleanse.
