What do we do about it now?

Now that I’ve raised your blood pressure and concern about toxins being everywhere, let’s get this problem solved. How can I get rid of toxins?

Not as hard as you might think. Most people understand that a large risk involves our largest organ, the skin. We are literally swimming around in toxins most of everyday, and our layers of skin do a remarkable job keeping us safe from most toxins.

Nearly just as important is our second largest organ, the liver. Of its many jobs, one of the most critical is its ability to pull toxins out of everything that passes through it. Think of it like a car filter that screens out junk so your car doesn’t get tore up. What happens though when those filters get clogged with junk? Our car quits running well, and so do we.

You can go to an auto parts store and get a new filter for less than 20 bucks. Livers are a bit harder to find, and considerably more expensive. We need to cleanse our liver at least twice a year, whether we live on a farm or a major metro-plex like DFW.

They’re many different “cleansing” products. Read the paragraph above again about reading labels, and then apply some common sense. Is a 7 day, $20 liver cleanse the same as a $200 liver cleanse that works over 21 days? Probably not. The cleanse that I use personally is one of the (a) least expensive, (b) longest working, and (c) hardest to complete. You’re already on the computer, look up the “Master Cleanse” or the “Lemonade Diet”. It’s amazing….. and if you can make it the first 4-5 days you will love it. You will feel better, have more energy and feel like wrestling a bear.

These cleanses aren’t “diets” but if you concurrently change your diet and are eating healthier foods, don’t be surprised if you lose weight (average a pound a day with the Master Cleanse).
Other (and somewhat more costly) ways to get toxins out of your system include using a hyperbaric chamber to push toxins out of your system, or an infa-red (dry) sauna. There are also de-toxifying foot baths that work very well by drawing toxins through the largest pores in your body….the ones on the soles of your feet. There are also footpads you can place in your shoes that claim to do the same thing. Using Epson salts in your bath is a natural form of chelation (removal of toxins), so is including more cilantro (coriander) in your diet.      

Call us if you’re interested in a cleanse. We’ll even provide you with the name of other patients who can discuss the benefits they have experienced.

What do we do about it now?

It amazes me to see people in pain, thinking it’s going to go away like it did last time.

These are the same people who wouldn’t think twice about what to do if their “check engine light” came on in their car, but refuse to take responsibility for their health when their own body tells them “trouble is coming”.

Educate yourself. You need to accept responsibility for your health and read more about the products you put into or onto your body. The folks in TV commercials are not your advocates. They all work for the people trying to sell you stuff. Read labels and don’t let crap litter up YOUR temple. Our brain and our body work together in an ingenious way to convert whatever trash or trauma we throw at it, into fuel—don’t make it work so hard.

I’m not as techno-savvy as I would like, but do you remember the acronym GIGO? Garbage in Garbage out. It doesn’t just apply to computers. The body is an amazing machine, but if we put products in our car with the same respect most of us currently use with our body, we would all be walking to work every day. Most of the stuff I have shared with you today, you already knew. You knew continuing to throw non-nutritious things into our body will have long term effects.

The problem is, once our body becomes toxic, our body starts to fight with itself. These cancers and tumors and diseases are called auto-immune diseases, and once the body turns on itself, there are no medical interventions that can easily restore health to the system. At that point you are likely to become a statistic. Today though you can stop doing what you did yesterday. It’s not just opposable thumbs that make us cool as begins, it’s free will and individual responsibility. Let’s get our bodies clean of toxins.
