Article: Cleansing...Why we need it!
Most disease, physical and psychological, is created or
allowed by the saturation and accumulation of toxic matter in the tissues. The
majority of naturopathic doctors and natural healers who truly understand the
cause of health and disease will tell you that toxins are the underlying cause
of all cellular breakdown and disease in the body. Our bodies have organs of elimination that are
designed to constantly cleanse the system of unwanted toxins, but the human
body was not designed for the level of toxicity we experience in the world
today. Sources of toxins include
pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, chemical additives in our food, over the
counter, prescription, and recreational drugs, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine,
processed ‘food’ and undigested stored wastes from ‘foods’ not well suited for
the human digestive system, air pollution, chlorine and fluoride in our water
(both drinking and bathing), radiation (computers, cell phones, microwaves) …and
many more! A large part of the toxic
buildup in our bodies is from stress as well.
Emotional stress actually creates free radicals and causes inflammation
in the body. No wonder many people are
not feeling vibrant, energetic, and healthy!
Luckily there is a solution to this problem: seasonal cleansing.
Imagine this scenario…you have a huge party at your house,
people come, they eat, they drink, they dance, they have an incredible time…and
the next day the house is filthy with dirty glasses, dishes, napkins, leftover food,
etc. You decide that you are too busy or
too tired to clean it up so you leave it.
A few months later you have another party. And you don’t clean it up. Over time your house would be so filthy and
congested with trash that you wouldn’t be able to walk around, flies and other
bugs would be living off the rotting leftover food, and a host of other
problems would begin to develop.
This is what happens in our bodies when we don’t do periodic
cleansing. Our cells get so congested
with toxins that they are literally drowning in their own waste, bad bacteria
and other organisms being to thrive on the toxic material in the intestines,
blood and lymph circulation are diminished leading to low energy, cellulite,
and decreased immune function, the colon gets backed up so waste material can not be eliminated thoroughly, and your system gets inflamed and begins to form
disease.
The simplest, quickest, and most direct way to remedy this
situation and improve your health and energy is to cleanse. There are many different approaches to
cleansing, and it is important to choose a cleanse that is appropriate for your
level of discipline, your schedule, and your goals. Some popular forms of cleansing include eliminating
certain foods from your diet, eliminating caffeine, alcohol, and other toxins,
juice fasting, taking herbal cleansing products, and doing colon hydrotherapy. Typically the most effective cleanse will use
a combination of these strategies, and even a relatively short cleanse can
accelerate elimination from the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs and skin, often
causing dramatic changes as masses of accumulated waste are expelled. It is extremely important to keep the colon
clean as you are ‘detoxing’, as this is the pathway for the majority of the
waste material to leave the body. Herbal
cleansing products and colon hydrotherapy are very complementary in this process,
as the herbs detoxify the system and break down accumulated waste material in
the intestines, and colon hydrotherapy hydrates and flushes out the waste.
