Q. What is a good detox for the upper GI?
A. The upper GI consists of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine). It is important to cleanse those areas, but toxic waste generally does not accumulate here. Consider the following:
1. There are 5 exit pathways in the body: large intetine, urinary tract, skin, respiratory system, and lymphatic system. These systems must be properly functioning prior to beginning any detox program.
2. The two major organs of detoxification, the liver and kidneys, must be functioning properly in order to cleanse properly, or one might become very sick as a result of the program.
How does the body detoxify?
The body has three naturally occurring options to rid toxic metabolites:
1. it can break down the toxin to make it less poisonous and to avoid damaging an exit pathway organ as it attempts to leave the body.
2. it can be sent through the body unchanged with the potential to harm.
3. If the first two fail, it will store the poison in the cellular structure of the body indefinitely.
Options for detoxification
It is to prevent failure of the first two that we detoxify! The easiest and first choice for detoxification could be making sure your body receives sufficient purified water. Other methods include juice fasting, detox powders, herbs, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Colon hydrotherapy, skin brushing, therapeutic bathing, enemas, infrared saunas and deep diaphragmatic breathing are beneficial adjuncts.
I'm sorry to have to speak in general terms, but how the body is detoxified needs to very specific to the individual. if not, serious problems can result. Please hit the "reply" button and email me if I can be more specific for you!
