Detoxification

… the foundation for good health

Detoxification benefits could fill an entire page listing conditions that improve after an inner cleanse. Regardless of whether you are ridding your body of accumulated wastes from food preservatives, food additives and dye, air pollutants, refined sugar, unhealthy eating choices, or parasites…  regular detoxification keeps you healthier. It results in improvement in all body functions, including nervous systems that influence every part of our body and our mind.

With skin being the largest organ of our body and a secondary organ of elimination along with our lungs, better skin health is often one of the first noticeable improvements with inner cleansing. Clearer thinking and improved memory are initially more subtle, but it happens.

The first time you are doing an inner cleanse after many months or even years of not doing one, it will usually be a longer process before you have noticeable results. Reading the article entitled ‘Parasite Cleansing’ will give you a better idea of why. 

Maintaining your level of improved health after focused detoxification is made easier by incorporating cleansing foods into your regular diet.  Fresh vegetables and fruits offer the benefit of gentle systemic cleansing in addition to providing enzymes and nutrients, with some vegetables having antiparasitic properties.  Raw foods help to detoxify, support and balance our metabolism, including a stronger immune system. Organic produce provides much greater nutrient content and safety from genetically engineered genes that may impact your own genetic structure, according to emerging studies and reports worldwide. Why should society become the lab experiment for testing genetically modified foods  before  the unbiased safety of engineered food has been tested by many independent research laboratories?

Among food choices that have cleansing benefits for our body, there are a number of options in the vegetable category as well as in spices. As a maintenance food and adjunct to any cleansing program, you could consider trying a pure, aloe vera.  With 12 anti-inflammatory components, it may be helpful in any inflammatory condition.  Aloe Vera has been studied for its antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties and can be considered a natural anti-parasitic food that is an easy option to drink each day.  An alternative to aloe vera  is to juice regularly with fresh vegetables known to be anti-parasitic. If this becomes too intensive for your schedule, you can periodically buy detox packages at health food stores. Your reaction to a detox package containing a wide range of anti-parasitic herbs that target your whole system will depend on your particular body’s level of toxicity. If you have not done an inner cleanse for years, guidance from a health care practitioner experienced in this area is your safest and most effective choice in order to not become discouraged or need time off work because of adverse reactions from “too much, too fast”.  More detailed information on the importance of detoxification and parasites in particular can be read in the article entitled Parasite Cleansing.

It helps to remember we are not in a continuous state of deterioration as we age; that we can do much to retain our energy and vitality with lifestyle choices. Our tissues regenerate, forming new cells throughout each year. Skin, for example, normally regenerates with new cells around every 28 days. Keeping this in mind helps strengthen your self-image of vibrant health that can often be re-gained from food choices and improved lifestyle habits. Because inner cleansing lets our organs make the best use of nutrients we provide our body by improving function to ensure maximum uptake of nutrients,  detoxification is an important part of maintaining optimum health.
