Our body, although perfect in design, was never designed for what it is subjected to today. We live in a polluted environment ñ our food, drink and even the air we breathe are all contaminated with chemicals from smog, industry and mining. In fact, according to Environmental News Network the U.S. industry releases about 24 billion pounds of toxic substances annually. There are also toxins that we are exposed to in our everyday lives, such as chemicals in cleaners, perfumes and dyes, as well as toxins that our body produces naturally as it carries out normal bio-chemical processes.
Most disconcerting is that all these toxins have the ability to affect human health in a most insidious way. Many chemicals are fat soluble and not readily broken down in the body, and can build up to dangerous levels. The range of health problems this can promote is extensive, including fatigue, headaches, overweight/obesity, allergies, autoimmunity (i.e. multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis), hormone imbalances, fibromyalgia, autism, arthritis, cardiovascular disease and cancer. The food we consume also plays a big role in our toxin exposure. Unhealthy diets that include too much dairy, fat, sugar and refined grains, along with the use of alcohol and pharmaceutical drugs lead to further ill-health and disease.
Detoxification is a normal process that our bodies go through to eliminate these environmental and metabolic toxins. Sweating is one such process. We normally sweat to cool our bodies when we are overheated, but it is also important for detoxification. Normal liver, kidney and intestinal function are essential for detoxification and overall health. All of these systems working together provide a powerful mechanism for health maintenance and renewal. Unfortunately, if you are not feeling your best chances are these systems are not working optimally.
At the core of natural medicine is the knowledge and means to promote and maintain detoxification capacity. Through dietary cleansing, including herbal and nutritional supplementation, along with improved digestion and intestinal and liver/gallbladder function – a multitude of toxins can be eliminated. This ultimately leads to improved health and well-being and the improvement in many underlying health conditions. No health program should be without the basic principles of proper elimination.
