Simple Ways to Detoxify

2/2/2012

 
The world in which we are living is exposing us to many chemicals that our bodies need to detoxify in order to keep us healthy. Some are naturally present in our  environment and many are man-made chemicals.  Most of these chemicals are stored in  our fat cells if the body can not unload them immediately.   We have several routes to get toxins to exit the body such as through  sweating, urine and feces, tears, and mucus drainage.

The goals of a detoxification program are:
1.  Remove the heavy metals and chemical contamination from our cells
2. Restore intestinal flora and the integrity of the gut walls.

There are four major steps in the detoxification  process.  Step one is getting the  toxin to the liver to be processed.  For stored toxins, the body sends a signal to the body’s cells to release  the toxins for processing.  This happens naturally when the body has completed working on digestion and has time to process toxins.  The fat  soluble toxins are released from the cells and flow through the blood to the
liver where they are processed.  Newly eaten foods, are processed in the gut and conveyed into the portal blood vein with the first stop at the liver.  This is the first pass to eliminate any toxins from the food you have just eaten.

Steps two and three in detoxification occur in the liver.  The second step uses enzymes to make the toxin water soluble.  The second step requires adequate nutrition (minerals, anti-oxidants and vitamins)
be available to react with the toxins.  There are two phases to step 2 and both phases use enzymes to process the  various toxins into something that the body can excrete.  
 
The third step occurs in the liver. The third step is to either excrete the toxin into the blood stream where  it is filtered out by the kidneys or to incorporate the toxin into bile produced  in the liver and then excreted into the intestines (through the gallbladder if the route is not blocked by gallstones). 
  
The forth step requires that there be sufficient fiber in the
colon to bind with the toxins so the toxins are excreted and not just
recycled.  If there is not enough  fiber, the toxins don’t get dumped out of the body.  If there are too many bad bacteria and not enough of the good bacteria and flora in the gut, then the bad bacteria can modify the toxins in the intestines into even more dangerous forms which can flow through a “leaky” gut and be deposited back in organs, joints and cells where they cause inflammation and suffering.
Another detoxification route involves sweating.  Toxins can be released through the sweat glands from the blood stream when sufficient exercise , work, or a  far-infrared sauna is used.
In order for the body to detoxify, you can provide assistance
for all the steps.
To aid in providing the signals for release of the toxins,  a break from eating in the  evening and at night is needed. Or make the evening snack something that is easily and quickly digested.   See the book “Clean” for some  recommendations.

Help to make the toxins water soluble:
 ·  Nutrition is  important.  In this age of nutrient deficient crops, add a good multi vitamin and mineral combination to your daily routine or take the food supplement Bioage. 
·  Add supplements like reduced L-glutathione

Help to move the Toxins out of the body:
·   Eat foods with soluble fiber – fruits, vegetables, whole grains. 
·   Take a high quality probiotic  to add to the intestinal flora that keep the bad bacteria in check.
 ·  Consider exercise that creates a sweat
 ·  Utilize a far infrared sauna- initially twice a week
 ·  Use Modified Citrus Pectin with Pectasol Complex®which will grab the toxin and carry it out in the feces.  It also will circulate in the blood and capture heavy metals and other chemicals and be filtered out in the kidneys.
 ·  Use zeolite or an edible clay that will grab the toxin and carry it off in the feces.

Keep Toxins from entering the body:
 ·  Eat organic food as possible
 ·  Avoid GMO foods ( essentially all corn and soy products unless the label says they are organic)
 ·   Smoking and other air pollutants should be avoided.
 ·   Filtered water should be used

Other Detoxification methods include
 · Ionic Foot Soaks (although not recommended for Melorheostosis of Leri sufferers),
·  IV Chelation, 
·  Removing amalgam fillings
·  utilizing NES Health,
·  eating the herb cilantro,
·  using colonics, and
·  using a suppository like  Detoximin.
