Detox and Your Body

The Body’s Methods of Detox & Live Blood Cell Analysis

 The body is an outstanding machine that even comes equipped with its own detox system. It is efficient in every sense, but much like any item with moving parts, it must be cared for. A huge part of caring for the body is, in fact, cleansing it.

No other generation before ours has been exposed to as many man-made chemicals and toxic substances as we are. The air we breathe is polluted, the water we drink is not clean, the food we eat is processed, the food for our soul is provided by a sensationalizing media, our life-style is sedentary, our body cells lack oxygen, vitamins, minerals and enzymes, our organs of detoxification and excretion are overwhelmed and our body is overloaded with waste products and toxic metabolites which render it vulnerable to all sorts of bacteria and viruses. How do we survive? 

In a nutshell, the body moves toxins out via the lungs, liver, lymphatic, kidneys, colon and skin. However, it is necessary to ensure that the organs of elimination are able to handle their toxic loads. 

  This series will share with you some valuable details about those organs, how to keep them healthy and functioning efficiently and extending into the tips and tricks you want to know about evaluating those organs.

Let’s start with the COLON.

We all recognize that if we do not take out the trash in our kitchens, things get pretty stinky! Well, compare this to your body and its efficiency in moving waste out. If it is not happening on a regular and consistent basis, then there is a problem that needs attention. The colon should be removing waste from your body in coordination with the efficiency of digestion. If you eat breakfast today, you should have a bowel movement tomorrow morning and so on for each meal. Most of us can use this comparison and realize if we need improvement. However, you may not feel like you have the solution. Well this is where the tool, Nutritional Live Blood Cell Analysis comes into support your knowledge of your body and its needs. One drop of blood from your finger is placed under a high power light and darkfield microscope to observe these details about your body. There is no need for the quess work. 

   The extremely helpful source of knowledge obtained from Nutritional Live Blood Cell Analysis can identify your body’s most needed attention. This one drop of blood will clarify why the bowels are not moving, on their own, more frequently and the best way to resolve it. This one drop of blood supports getting to the ‘root cause’ of the body’s challenges. 

All About the Kidneys

The human body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms which are self-healing. A healthy body is capable of eliminating the toxic substances generated by its normal functioning and imposed on it by an unnatural life style.

Next up…the KIDNEYS. When it comes to protecting the body, a discussion involving the best ways of keeping the heart, brain, and digestive tract strong is almost always brought up. The urinary tract – which includes the kidneys and bladder – carries a heavy burden when it comes to removing many of the body’s toxins. When the urinary tract is under a great deal of stress, toxins can build up and damage organs. 

  Kidney infection, kidney stones, etc…you have heard of them or had them, and realize there is discomfort in un-health organs. A kidney infection is an acute condition that occurs when bacteria or a virus travels to the kidneys resulting in an infection. The kidneys are designed to clean waste from the blood and make urine. The ureters carry this urine from the kidneys to the bladder, where it is stored until urination.

  Our bodies know how to do their jobs of cleansing and detoxing. We need to care for these bodies, nurture them with quality foods, supply them with clean water, and know when it is crying for help! 

The Lymphatic System…What is that?

It’s a critical part of the immune system, vital for protecting us from illness and damaging, disease-causing inflammation. Essentially, the lymphatic system is the body’s inner “drainage system,” a network of blood vessels and lymph nodes that carry fluids from tissues around the body into the blood and vice versa.

The lymphatic system has the primary role of protecting the body against outside threats — such as infections, bacteria and cancer cells — while helping keep fluid levels in balance. Simply put…We have all heard of the notion of having ’swollen glands.’ These ‘glands’ are part of the Lymphatic System.

The best way to protect the complex series of criss-crossing lymphatic vessels and “nodes” that span almost the entire body is to eat a healing diet, exercise and take steps to detoxify the body naturally.

Rebounding! Ever heard of it? A mini-trampoline used for the most efficient way of moving the lymphatic system. A daily practice of this movement, bouncing or pulsating, on a rebounder can be one of those vital items that takes your health to a whole new level of fantastic!

Supporting this natural method of detox can be done by all. Learn if your lymphatic system needs a kick start or is in dire straits with a Nutritional Dry Blood Cell Analysis (remote session) or a Nutritional Live Blood Cell Analysis (in person) The direction and details are designed, for each individual, specifically for their body’s needs.

Are you a shallow breather – Detox with your LUNGS

The lungs are tasked with a daunting job: ridding the body of all the pollutants that we inhale every time we take a breath. If your lungs are overworked or damaged by smoking, illness, allergies, or just being around air pollution in the environment, you can take specific steps to cleanse your lungs. Keeping your lungs clean, clear, and healthy will give you a greater connection to your vital life force.

When you exercise hard and breathe heavily, it helps increase your lung capacity and strengthens your entire cardiovascular system — the lungs, heart, and blood vessels. Conversely, scientists have irrefutable evidence that physical inactivity weakens your whole body and leads to illness. Likewise, we know that staying in good physical shape helps prevent many chronic conditions, like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. If you go for even a light jog, you push breath to your lungs and get your blood flowing. For people who have just quit smoking, this helps the lung healing process. If you live in an area with heavy pollen or suffer from allergies, you may want to jog indoors on a treadmill.

Ease the heavy load on your lungs with these tips:
-Invest in an air filter: While we might not be able to control the air outside of our home, you can turn your home into a clean-air safe haven with an air filter. A high-quality air filter will remove many of the air pollutants that may enter the home, reducing the work your lungs have to do.
-Exercise in clean air: If you choose to exercise outside, try to do it somewhere with good air quality, like a forest or a park full of trees. When we exercise, we’re often taking in big, gulping breaths of air (and toxins) that we hold inside. Changing your exercise spot to a place with cleaner air will minimize the toxins you breathe in during a particularly tough bout of cardio.
-Breathe out: The lung has a simple–and very effective–way of getting rid of toxins: breathing out! We can support this process by taking time every day to engage in deep breathing. Set aside a few minutes to try four square breathing, a relaxing deep-breathing pattern: Simply inhale for four counts, hold for four counts, exhale for four counts, hold for four counts, and repeat. Do this in clean air for added benefits!

The number one way to improve lung health is to reduce the number of toxins you’re inhaling. For smokers, this means it’s time to quit smoking. People who recently quit smoking, current smokers, people regularly exposed to smoke, individuals with lung ailments, or people exposed to air pollutants can all benefit from a lung cleanse. You can cleanse your lungs by engaging in deep breathing exercises, cardiovascular exercise, using tea tree, eucalyptus, peppermint, or oregano essential oils alone, in a diffuser. You can also eat lung-cleansing foods such as cruciferous vegetable and high-antioxidant berries. Clean your home often. Vacuum regularly and use non-toxic cleaning products. Invest in an air purifier, and get some house plants to help naturally cleanse the air in your home.

When we work on these goals of keeping our lungs healthy and strong, they can keep us healthy and strong. Remember, we eliminate 70% of our body’s toxins via the lungs. The body converts toxins into gases for the lungs to eliminate out of the body. Healthy lungs = healthy YOU!

Sweat Out the Toxins – SKIN
The skin has so many functions. Some of these functions are to regulate body temperature, keep the body warm, protect it from environment and elements of nature like cold, heat and rain. But at the same time, the skin has excretory functions. Excretory functions are important for the body to utilise when there are certain types of toxicity that needs to be removed from the body.
Nowadays, a lot of people spend a major part of their life without exercise routines. People often choose to live a sedentary lifestyle instead of an active one. Sedentary lifestyle causes people to be indoors all day, sit on their couches, watch TV and do work on the internet. This also means that they are not moving significant parts of their muscles on a regular basis.

If our muscles start to move and work less, we sweat less. Sweating is actually one of the most important ways in the body to eliminate toxic substances from within. If you live a sedentary lifestyle and do not move enough, you cannot sweat enough leading to stress related bladder and bowel issues. Sweating is very important for your body’s natural detoxification process.

The autonomic nervous system of the human body works without our conscious effort. This system regulates some body processes, like blood pressure and the rate of breathing. It has two main divisions: Sympathetic nervous system and Parasympathetic nervous system. The human body needs to sweat, urinate and defecate to eliminate toxic substances from the body system. Whenever you are stressed, you notice that you do not feel any urge to go the toilet. This is because your bladder and bowel gets affected by stress, too. The main reason for all of this is that our sympathetic nervous system is activated. This system is activated when we are stressed, and it is also known as ‘fight or flight mode’. But when the sympathetic nervous system is activated, it shuts down the opposite system called the parasympathetic nervous system. Parasympathetic nervous system which is also known as a ‘rest and digest state’, is the system for relaxation.

Sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system are opposites. When the one nervous system’s responses is activated, it shuts off the other one. When you are stressed and activate the sympathetic nervous system shuts down your body’s need to urinate and defecate.

Balancing the Autonomic Nervous System
If you want to detox through your skin naturally, you need to balance your autonomic nervous system. This is the major key for your body to detoxify from inside to outside. Being more physically active and staying away from stress will help in balancing this system.

Be Your Detox Manager – Detoxification & the LIVER

The ‘filter’ for the body’s blood. A pretty important organ. More than 500 vital functions have been identified with the liver. The liver is the largest internal organ in the body, so it’s safe to say we need to take good care of it. This football-sized organ is located in the upper right part of the abdomen.

Turn on the television, flip through a magazine or open your internet browser and you’re bound to hear about a new detox diet or juice cleanse being peddled.

The liver has many responsibilities and functions in the body. This beautiful organ couldn’t be more of a helping hand for those late nights out drinking or the over-consumption of junk food on a cheat day.

-The liver plays a part in the metabolic process of breaking down proteins and
fats for storage1.
-The point of this storage is to eventually convert it into the energy we need to
get through our day-to-day tasks.
-Another large role the liver plays in the body is detoxification.

It’s true that most of us are exposed to a plethora of toxins, heavy metals and chemicals on a daily basis, found in everything from the air we breathe to the food on our plates. However, your body is equipped with a natural detox system that can help remove these dangerous compounds, and switching up your diet and lifestyle is the best way to maximize your body’s toxin-removing potential.

Experience has taught us that an impairment of the basic regulatory processes can lead to the “regulatory freeze” which is typical in cancer. In this case the body does not properly react to health challenges and yet the person is seemingly “healthy”. Cancer patients have typically shown no sign of illness for years before the tumor manifests.

Detoxification is a decisive step towards restoration of the body’s regulatory mechanisms and towards reversing cancer cells back to the behavior of normal cells. Normal cells are programmed to die when they have fulfilled their task. This programmed cell death is called apoptosis.

With all of our patients, whether they suffer from cancer or a chronic degenerative disease, every effort is made to improve the function of the liver, kidneys, colon, lung, skin and lymph system by herbal preparations, supplementation of nutrients, high fluid intake, lymph drainage, far infrared sauna, etc., according to individual needs.
