Detoxing
     It is recommended that you change the oil in your car's engine every three thousand miles. This procedure flushes out the dirt and debris that has collected and the engine will run more efficiently. It is also recommended that you change the filters on your air conditioners and heaters in your home on a yearly basis. Those who have a fish tank at home might change the dirty water on a regular basis in order for the fish to stay alive. These regular maintenance procedures are a normal and accepted part of our lives.
    Why would you not cleanse your body in the same manner? The human body is often a cesspool of toxins. From heavy metals like mercury and lead, environmental pollutants, pesticides, air pollution and parasites, the human body is often akin to that dirty fish tank.
    Cleansing has been a normal and accepted part of natural healing for centuries. From Ayurveda to Native American sweat lodges, cleansing is accepted as being very important. However, in Western science-based medicine, cleansing has almost no value. Most medical doctors either do not support cleansing or do not appreciate its importance in maintaining perfect health. In order to come back into balance, it might be important to explore the possibilities outside of Western scientific medicine.
 

(While cleansing is generally regarded as a safe method, it is always advisable to consult with your health care  professional first.)
Why is Detoxing Important?
     The human body is capable of creating disease and it is also capable of healing from disease. In the natural world, disease is seen as an imbalance of the physical, emotional and spiritual relationships. In contrast, the Western scientific world views disease as a failure of your body and thus declares war on your biology.
    In other words, cleansing and detoxifying the body are not just important in order to maintain optimal health but can also be instrumental in recovering from disease. In many traditions, cleansing is the cornerstone of getting well. You have to get the bad stuff out first before you can add some healthy nutrients.
    The internal organs of your body will collect toxins. The kidneys, liver, gallbladder and colon will begin to clog up and will accumulated toxic material. Detoxing is a way to begin to release your body of some of this material.
     As your organs release the accumulated toxins they begin to function more efficiently. While most Western-scientific medical systems teach us that an organ needs to be replace when it becomes diseased, there are often better solutions. Replacing organs in transplant surgery makes money for doctors and hospitals. That is why it is usually the treatment of choice. Cleansing the body is relatively inexpensive and there is very little profit.
     While organ transplants might save many lives, many others will die waiting for an organ because they were never informed by their medical doctor that their own organs could heal themselves with the proper support.

Ionic Foot Spa

    The preceding pictures might look disturbing. The first picture shows a tub filled with clear tap water. Sixty minutes later, (as shown in the second picture), the tub is filled with a dark toxic goo. This is the result of an ionic foot bath spa. For very little money, ionic foot baths pull toxins out of your body by way of your feet. From mercury to aluminum, viruses to decayed cells, radiation to lead, this method is a very effective means of detoxifying. Normally several sessions are required to get the best results.
     Your internal organs often become clogged with debris and environmental toxins. Your kidneys and liver are considered your filter organs and attempt to rid the body of this toxic material. Your kidneys and liver then become clogged. Using an ionic foot bath spa regularly begins to flush the body of this waste.
   There are many retailers of these machines. A company that I support is Circle of Health Inc. For $395 you too can be on your way to purifying your body.

                    Zeolite 

zeolite

    Zeolite is a mineral that draws toxins out of the body. This powdered formula is a great method of cleansing and detoxifying your body. Zeolite acts like a sponge and collects environmental toxins, heavy metals and foreign bodies from your bloodstream and helps your body to cleanse itself. Add a spoonful or two to a shake or smoothie for breakfast. While liquid zeolite is also available, I find the powdered zeolite to be a much more effective tool in cleansing.
 
Tongue Scraper
 tongue scraper
     In the Ayurvedic tradition, tongue scraping is a normal daily routine to detoxifying the body. Overnight, viruses, bacteria and other toxins are deposited on your tongue. In the morning, many people will notice that their tongue is coated with a whitish residue. Scraping the tongue prevents this material from reentering the body.
     Tongue scraping can be considered just as important as brushing one's teeth or showering. This simple ritual will rid the body of accumulated waste products. It is simple and easy to do. 


Colon Hydrotherapy
 
    Also known as "colonics" or "high colonic," colon hydrotherapy is a method that begins to flush out much of the decayed material that has remained stuck to the colon walls. By some estimates, the average person has between ten and twenty pounds of excess decayed material frozen to the colon walls.
    Colon hydrotherapy is a safe and effective method in which to begin flushing out this toxic material. Many believe that most disease begins in the colon itself. Once the colon is clogged, it is difficult to absorb nutrients and almost impossible to release waste products. A healthy body begins with a healthy colon.
    While it is often difficult and uncomfortable to talk about colon cleansing, it may be one of the most important health maintenance tools you can utilize. The first colonic is always the most difficult. After that, it becomes almost routine.
     For those who reside in the Orange County region, I might recommend Linda Bailey of Feel Well 4 Life in Laguna Beach,Ca. as a supportive and knowledgeable licensed colon hydrotherapist.

Gall Bladder Flush
 
gallstones
 
     What's in your gallbladder?
 
     The average American might have a gallbladder that looks like this. Here you see a diseased gallbladder that is filled with gallstones and bursting wide open.
    Gallbladder surgery is one of the most popular of all surgeries. This procedure makes money, (and lots of it), for surgeons and hospitals. While less expensive and more natural healing methods are numerous, they are usually frowned upon by the Western medical scientific-based system. Why would a medical doctor recommend a simple treatment that costs pennies in favor of a procedure where he could make thousands of dollars?
      When the gallbladder becomes full of gallstones and symptoms begin to emerge, most medical doctors are quick to recommend removal of the gall bladder. This is especially true for a certain group of people who exhibit the most prominent symptoms. This is called the "Rule of 5 'Fs'."
1. Forty-ish
                                    2. Fat
3. Flatulent
      4. High Fat diet
                                     5. Female
 
     The good news is that in most cases the gallbladder does not need to be removed. With natural cleanses and flushes it is possible to maintain a healthy gallbladder and recover your gallbladder to its natural state of health.
