Body Detox and Herbal Detox
Antibiotics, drugs (prescription too!), alcohol, poor diets, pollution and toxins from our water supply, and the atmosphere, all contribute to making your body unhealthy and needing a body detox to clean your system.
To become and stay healthy, it is very important that detoxification is made a part of your life. You need to rid your body of all the impurities that have been accumulating over the years by using a natural herbal detox home body detox.
It is also important to continue the process of a natural detox at home even after you have cleansed your system once, because the yeast and toxins can reappear due to contact with the environment.
Increasingly, researchers are identifying the role of toxins and pollutants in numerous illnesses and health problems. Substantial research has currently been directed to studying the immune system. We are coming to greater understanding of the role of toxins and pollutants, particularly their role in chronic diseases.
How Does Our Body Detox?
Our body detoxification and immune system consists of the digestive system, the urinary systems, the skin, the lungs, and the liver.Our immune system remembers and perceives which substances are harmful to the body, and then attacks and destroys them

When pollution enters the blood stream from our food, water, drugs, or atmosphere it causes levels of toxins to build up in the body.
As the level of toxins in the liver continues to increase, the persons' immune system becomes compromised and depressed; and the liver needs to work more than it's capacity.
If the level of toxins is not reduced with a body detox, the toxins start to leak out of the intestinal walls into the blood stream causing diseases like bowel toxaemia (blood poisoning caused by bacterial toxic substances in the blood) and candidiasis (a yeast infection caused by fungi).
How Important Is Your Liver?
what's it got to do with a body detox?
As stated above, the liver is one of the 5 major components in the immune system. If the liver needs a body detox and is working beyond it's capacity, it will store the excess toxins within itself or in fat tissue.In his book, The Liver And Cancer, Dr. Blond claims that the liver is the gateway to disease: "No other stimulus is necessary for the growth of cancer than a metabolic toxin which has not passed the liver filter or has not been neutralized owing to liver failure."
Dr. Blond also states, "Cancer of the lung is not caused by nicotine, but by the alimentary toxins having bypassed the liver filter."
Max Gerson, in his book A Cancer Therapy, states that restoration of the liver is the real goal in fighting cancer. He also quotes Dr Blond "Cancer is a mutation of somatic tissues caused by chronic damage of the liver." In other words, cancer is a symptom of a malfunctioning liver.
In his article, The Liver, Laboratory of Living, Dr Roy states "No disease, especially degenerative diseases including cancer and AIDS, could survive longer than a few weeks in the presence of a healthy liver."
Facts About Our Liver
and how it is connected to a body detox
All of the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver. The liver processes this blood and breaks down the nutrients in the blood into forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body.The liver holds about 13% of the body's blood supply at any given moment.
The liver produces bile, which helps carry away waste.
The liver breaks down fats, preparing them for further digestion and absorption in the small intestine.
The liver regulates the blood levels of amino acids, which form the building blocks of proteins.
The liver produces proteins for blood plasma.
The liver produces cholesterol.
The liver removes bacteria, drugs, and poisonous substances from the blood stream.
The liver regulates blood clotting.
The liver stores iron and processes hemoglobin.
The liver stores and converts excess glucose into glycogen. The liver can later convert the glycogen back to glucose for energy.
How Important Is The Colin?
and what's it got to do with a body detox?
In his article, Eliminating Toxins and Disease through Colon Health, Michael Dye states "In an effort to minimize toxins absorbed into the blood stream from the colon, mucus is created to encapsulate the waste of certain foods such as meat, dairy, white flour and other processed foods. This mucus build-up is a natural defense mechanism, and could be efficiently eliminated through the colon if it occurred only rarely.But people who eat mucus-producing foods every day create a toxic build-up of layers and pockets of mucus and decayed fecal matter, remnants of which can stay in the colon for 20 to 30 years or longer."
Another Dr. had a client who, while doing a body detox and cleaning her colon, had a "rainbow" bowel movement. She found out later from her mother that, as a child, she loved to eat crayons.
It has been discovered that the average middle aged meat eater can carry around a colon with five to fifty pounds of impacted and decayed fecal matter.
Fecal waste products should stay in our system no longer than 24 hours. In foreign countries where processed foods are nonexistent, people have one bowel movement per meal.
In America, bowel movements average from 72 to 96 hours. This amount of time is very harmful, because it gives the fecal matter time to putrefy, ferment, and build up toxins that can affect every part of our body, especially the immune system.
Tell Tale Signs Of Needing A Home Body Detox
Nutritionists state that some of the initial indications of needing a body detox are:Constant fatigue,
Obesity, (the liver stores toxins in fat tissue)
Sluggish digestive systems,
Allergies,
Respiratory ailments,
Dull unhealthy skin,
Constipation,
Bloating,
Strong smelling body odor,
Chronic insomnia,
Joint pains,
Chronic nervous system problems,
Adrenal stress problems,
Immune hypersensitivity
Whether you call your condition:
Mal-digestive syndrome,
Chronic fatigue syndrome,
Leaky gut syndrome,
Yeast Infection (Candida),
PMS,
Chronic Epstein-Barr virus,
Fibromyalgia,
Auto-immune,
Addison's,
Hashimoto's thyroiditis,
APICH syndrome,
Chemical Sensitivity,
or Environmental Illness,
Your immune system has been compromised and depressed, and you are in need of a home body detox.


Drugs That Harm Your Immune System
Antibiotics depress and compromise our immune system by taking over its job.Antibiotics also deplete the "good" bacteria that is needed to clean toxins from your system. I have first hand experience with getting a yeast infection every time I am prescribed antibiotics.
Corticosteroids depress and compromise our immune system too. Corticosteroids (even over the counter ones), help with inflammation from injury or illnesses, but they also depress your immune system.
Foods That Cause A Toxin Build Up And Depress Your Immune System
As you can see, much of our daily diet includes many of these foods; another reason to maintain a home body detox program:Refined Sugar,
Artificial Sweeteners
Bread,
Rice,
Pasta
Red Meat,
Lunch Meat,
Dairy foods such as Milk and Cheese,
Eggs,
Preserved foods,
Potatoes,
Parsnips,
Smoked foods,
Processed Nuts and Seeds,
Tea, Coffee, and Caffeinated foods,
Alcohol
A few words about the harmful artificial sweetener NutraSweet, Equal, and Aspartame
The FDA has received more complaints about these artificial sweeteners than from any other food additive they have ever passed!
Common complaints are:
Headaches,
Stomach cramps,
and Muscle fatigue.
NutraSweet, Equal, and Aspartame has been linked to neurological disorders such as Fibromyalgia and Alzheimer's Disease!
At 85 degrees, all drinks containing NutraSweet, Equal, and Aspartame undergo a transformation. These artificial sweeteners turn into formaldehyde!
Flying Safety and Navy Physiology magazine have articles stating that at high altitudes drinks containing NutraSweet, Equal, and Aspartame (because they contain 10% methanol), leads to dizziness, loss of vision, sudden memory loss, and even epileptic fits.


Stevia, A Better Alternative For NutraSweet, Equal, and Aspartame!
Stevia has been used for over 200 years with no side effects.
Japan originally made their diet Coke with Stevia, until they decided to standardize with the rest of the world.
Soon after the FDA banned Stevia, a grass roots effort started up demanding the FDA show proof that Stevia was harmful.
Since the FDA had no research to prove it harmful, they dragged their feet a couple of years, and finally gave in before Congress began an investigation.
You can now purchase Stevia in most health food stores, or online right here

Substitute Sugar With Natural Stevia Leaf!
Stevia's common name is Sweetleaf. It's botanical name is Stevia rebaudiana, the leaf is used in herbal preparations, and as a non-sugar sweetener in foods and drinks.
Stevia Leaf Extract is safe for diabetics, alcohol free, and you can cook and bake with it. The best thing is that this healthy sugar substitute has 0 calories and 0 carbs!
SteviaClear Liquid Stevia - 2 4-oz Bottles
2 drops are as sweet as 1 tsp sugar
Spoonable Stevia 16-oz container
1/2 teaspoon as sweet as 2 tsp. sugar; and 12 tsp = 1 cup sugar
Foods that help a home body detox are:
Raw Fruit (especially Apples),Raw Vegetables,
Lightly Steamed Vegetables,
Raw Seeds and Nuts,
Whole Grains,
Free Range Eggs,
Fish,
Monounsaturated High Quality Oils,
Unsweetened Juices, such as Beet juice, Alfalfa juice, or Wheat Grass juice.
Herbal Detox Tea
Honeysuckle, cimicifuga, green tea and jasmine flower are the specific herbs added in traditional Chinese tea for a natural body detox.
Herbal teas with ingredients of milk thistle, sarsparilla root, dandelion root, echinacea, and red clover stimulate the liver to improve its toxin-removing functionality.
Milk Thistle is also helpful in repairing any liver damage due to alcohol.
Dandelion is the backbone of detox herbs, it is known for its properties of effectively removing toxins from every cell in the body.
Cardamom seed, black peppercorn, cinnamon bark, clove bud, and ginger root are excellent for colon and blood cleansing.
Licorice root is an antioxidant that stimulates kidney and liver functions.
As you can see from the ingredients below of the Herbal Detox Tea I recommend, it contains the proper healing and body detox ingredients, and more!
This natural Body DeTox Tea has detoxifying herbs known traditionally as "blood cleansers".Organic Burdock and Organic Dandelion work together in this tea to facilitate the elimination of toxins. Jamaican Sarsaparilla is another ingredient in this tea formula for both its delicious taste and its purifying properties. Organic Juniper Berry supports kidney functions, and the Ayurvedic cleansing blend of Organic Ginger, Organic Black Pepper and Long Pepper is suitable for everyone. Because it has no harsh laxatives or diuretics, the DeTox Body Purifier Tea is mild enough to be used every day for up to 30 days.
Home Body Detox Program
Water is one of the most effective home body detox ingredients. Intake of water in the morning is essential to pep up a sluggish digestive system. Water can be very effective in flushing out a large amount of toxins. If there is inadequate intake of water, the dehydrated body tends to draw water from the blood. This puts pressure on the heart and also reduces the purifying capacity of the kidneys.
Add the foods that help a home body detox (listed above) to your daily diet.
Avoid the foods that cause a toxin buildup and depress your immune system (listed above).
Some include Fasting in a home body detox program. Fasting is a natural process for cleaning the colon of toxic substances and this has been used in different societies across the world. For people who cannot fast, a fruit juice diet can also help in cleansing the colon. Fruit juices can supply vitamins, minerals, enzymes and fats in a form that is easy to absorb. An only juice-diet for a week allows the body to clean itself in a natural way.
Herbal Detox
If you don't care for a herbal detox tea, and don't want to fast.........my recommendation would be to use these All Natural Detox Drops.
Detox Drops contains no animal products, gluten, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, is suitable for lacto-vegetarians, is not tested on animals.
Take 15 drops of in approximately 1/4 glass water three times daily for 6 weeks.
Follow up with a 5 day course every three months or whenever your system feels sluggish and rundown.
Herbal Detox Drops Ingredients Are:
Taraxacum officinalis (Dandelion) Dandelion contains bitter principles which have a beneficial effect on the liver and digestive system. Dandelion is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It enhances liver and gall bladder functioning and may decrease high blood pressure due to its diuretic properties.
Foeniculum vulgare (Fennel) Fennel has been used since ancient times as an appetite suppressant and was traditionally used to prevent 'growling stomachs' during church services. Apart from its diuretic properties, Fennel also promotes the functioning of the liver, kidneys and spleen and is useful for acidic stomachs.
Pelargonium reniforme is a medicinal plant known to generations of Khoi/San descendants and Xhosa traditional healers for its health-giving properties. Also known as 'Umckaloabo', it is traditionally used for a range of therapeutic functions and is well known for its beneficial effect on liver functioning and as a digestive tonic. This species of pelargonium is indigenous to the Eastern Cape of South Africa and grows wild, sending out long bulbous roots deep into the ground. The medicinally active ingredients are found in the bitter tasting root of the plant.
Caution: Fennel and Dandelion should not be used in conjunction with any other diuretic medication such as Lasix or hydro-chlorothiazide. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Use with caution if suffering from gallstones or estrogen-dependent cancer.

Detox for Life: Your Bottom Line-It's Your Colon or Your Life (Paperback)
Addressing a life-threatening subject with sensitivity and humor, this book brings detoxification and colon cleansing to the public forefront. With increasing cancer rates, the high toxicity of our environment, and shelves upon shelves of additive-laden foods in supermarkets, there has never been a more appropriate time to discuss the benefits of health management. Explained in detail are the impact and consequences of autointoxication and digestive maladies. Also discussed are reasons for body cleansing through colonics, enemas, and herbal remedies.The Detox Miracle Sourcebook: Raw Foods and Herbs for Complete Cellular Regeneration (Paperback)
This book is very through on how to detox but more importantly WHY. A really cool thing about the book is that Dr. Morse also tells you what you can expect. Detoxing isn't usually symptom free. Knowing what to expect or "the worst case" sure does help alleviate the anxiety when a symptom does appear. I've followed his program and am making great strides to recovery. I've seen my allergies almost disappear totally, much more energy, improvement in my nails, and the circles under my eyes improve. The rheumatoid arthritis is improving but I've got a ways to go yet. Overall, I highly recommend this book to ANYONE who is serious about healing their bodies! J. ErbThis is the best book I have read about the body organs and how they all work. Robert Morse explains diet and food and body functions in a clear concise way like no other. I use this as a referal for all kinds of information for the causes of dis-ease and dis-comfort. The book is easy to read and easy to undersatnad and I have already bought at least 10 copies as I want everyone I care about to read this. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. If I had 1 book about health and diet this would be my choice. Eric Botner
Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all directions: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the cleaning products we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us. Toxins build up in the body faster than they can be removed, contributing to premature aging and chronic and degenerative diseases. Fife, a nutritionist, naturopath, and codirector of an alternative health center, provides a comprehensive handbook of detoxification therapies, including healthy nutrition, fasting, juicing, oxygen and heat therapies, exercise, and kidney and liver cleansing. Chapters give extensive background information on each subject, reports of research (but little documentation), and precise, detailed instructions for self-administration of the therapies, though the reader may also want to consult a practitioner for additional guidance. Line drawings and charts enhance the text, and short lists of additional resources are given at the end of chapters. An encyclopedic look at how we can care for and cleanse our amazingly resilient bodies. Penny Spokes
