Why Cleanse?

Why Cleanse?

Because it is the single greatest thing you can do to help support your digestive health and remove the deadly toxins that reside in your body!

If there was one article that I have written that deserves dire attention it is this one! Listen up; we are overwhelmed daily with toxins infiltrating our physiological system. These nasty compounds seek to challenge our body’s ability to stay healthy and perform at an optimal level. 

“Fatigue, headaches, muscle and joint pain, skin irritation, poor complexion, sluggish immune function and weight gain are only but a few of the possible signs of a body being beleaguered by toxins. Although the body has ways of dealing with impurities, its cleansing systems can become stressed and less effective without proper support. As a result, toxins build up and affect your health. Regular cleansing (at least twice yearly) can restore internal purity thus helping you feel healthy, refreshed, and re-energized.” 

Without realizing it you are being subjected to thousands of toxins throughout your week. They are literally everywhere, every turn we make is another toxin that provides work for the immune system to conquer. Listed are the core toxins that require red alert attention: 

• Heavy metals – aluminum (research is pointing to this main contributor to Alzheimer’s), arsenic, cadmium, mercury, nickel, are all forms of industrial waste. Others are cigarette smoke (see below), contaminated fish, cosmetics, dental fillings, metal cookware and some antacids.
• Liver toxins – including alcohol, drugs (both pharmaceutical and over the counter), food additives (legions of them), herbicides, pesticides, and solvents.
• Microbial toxins – produced by bacteria and yeast in the digestive tract; if you have ever taken antibiotics you almost certainly have Candida overgrowth, which clogs up the digestive system as a whole (even more reason to cleanse).
• Metabolic toxins – compounds such as ammonia, resulting from the body’s breakdown of protein, especially if you traffic in the high protein diet?
• Environmental toxins – sitting in traffic you consume a dose of gas fumes, refinery fumes, the average dust in a person’s home consists of 23 different not-so-nice compounds (the research is astounding!), and on and on…. 

This is a serious problem and it is not getting much better! I cannot emphasize enough the significance behind the concept of full body cleansing. You must consider cleansing/detoxification annually if you care about your health. 

• In the space of two generations, we have invented 10 million new chemicals and unwittingly released thousands of them into the environment.
• 102 billion pounds of chemicals over the past 18 years have been disposed in some form or fashion in America, disposed where?
• U.S. industries manufacture over 6 trillion pounds of 9,000 different chemicals a year. They dump billions of pounds of industrial chemicals into our air and water year after year.
• The newest highest cancer killer for both men and women has now become colon cancer.
• Elvis Presley had 60 pound of fecal matter in his colon upon his autopsy, yikes!! 

The first step in assuring that the nutrition you consume gets absorbed and utilized properly is to detoxify and cleanse the digestive system! It makes sense, you start eating better but your system is plugged from years of abuse. You must first clean the system out before the nutrients found in whole food supplements, fruits & vegetables and nuts & seeds can do their respective duties.
