Is your body driving optimal health?

Toxicity is of much greater concern in the twentieth century than ever before. There are stronger chemicals, air and water pollution, radiation and nuclear power. We ingest new metals, use more drugs of all kinds; eat more sugar and refined foods, and abuse daily various stimulants and sedatives. The incidence of many toxicity diseases has increased as well. Cancer and cardiovascular disease are two of the main ones. Arthritis, allergies, obesity, and many skin problems are others. In addition, a wide range of symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, pains, coughs, gastrointestinal problems, and problems from immune weakness, can all be related to toxicity.

Toxicity occurs on two basic levels--external and internal. We can acquire toxins from our environment by breathing, ingesting, or through physical contact with them. We all are exposed to toxins daily. Most drugs, food additives, and allergens can create toxic elements in the body. In fact, any substance can have toxicity- water, sodium, and almost all nutrients can be a problem in certain circumstances.

A toxin is basically any substance that creates irritating and/or harmful effects in the body, undermining our health or stressing our biochemical or organ functions. The free radicals irritate, inflame, age, and cause degeneration of body tissues.  Psychic and spiritual influences, thought patterns, and negative emotions all can be toxins as well, changing the normal physiology of the body and possibly producing specific symptoms.

Of course, if our body is working well, with good immune and eliminative functions, we can handle our basic everyday exposure to toxins.  But most of us cannot detox our body in an acceptable way, hence allowing it to continuously getting sicker in so many ways.

Almost everyone needs to detox, cleanse themselves, and rest their body functions at times. Cleansing or detoxification is one part of the trilogy of nutritional action; the other two are building (or toning)  and balance (or maintenance).
