Detoxification is a basic natural health solution. It is particularly important in this day and age when toxic chemicals are in our homes, our food, our air and our water – and of course, spring is a great time to think about cleaning.
A toxin is a substance that creates irritating and/or harmful effects to the body. Toxins tend to overwhelm our bodies and undermine our health over time. Signs of toxicity include lack of energy, forgetfulness, insomnia, digestive problems, arthritis and other joint related problems, bad breath or offensive body odor, acne, allergies, colitis, lower back pain, depression, neurological problems, etc.

What most of us fail to realize is how and where these toxins are used. Many of these chemicals are in products we are exposed to every day. Much of our food contains chemicals that do not have to be disclosed.
The Sinatra Health Report published a list of 20 toxins found in everyday life which are as follows: insecticides, prescription drugs, alcohol, air pollution, cigarette smoke, formaldehyde from carpets and processed wood, soft drinks made with phosphoric acid, trans fats in many prepared foods, char-broiled meats, hair dyes, cosmetics and other personal products, petrochemicals, heavy metals, nitrates found mainly in processed meats, radon, gasoline, chlorine, mercury contaminated fish, industrial chemicals in home cleaning fluids, and phtalates from plastics.[amazon asin=B00AV5LZE4&template=*lrc ad (right)]
The list of toxic chemicals and their effects can go on and on. If you are interested, read about them. I like Dr. Don Colbert’s What You Don’t Know May Be Killing You and Ann Louise Gittleman’s The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet.
There are many good detoxification plans. I like using herbal detox products that clean the body’s basic channels of elimination such as the colon, kidneys, skin, lymph system, liver, and lungs. There are also cleanses for heavy metals such as lead and mercury. There are products that help remove xenoestrogens which are toxins that mimic estrogen causing many problems including cancer.

For spring cleaning, I recommend the herbal cleanse along with added fiber and an omega 3 oil. This herbal cleanse helps detoxify the organs of elimination and cleanses at a cellular level too. I have not found a better, gentler cleanse than the one we sell – there are many copy-cats, but have never seen great results with any of them. Customers report results that include feeling great, being regular, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, no more gallbladder attacks, weight loss, and more.
And you can always follow a basic cleanse with a heavy metal cleanse to get rid of more stored toxins.
Try some spring cleaning. Now is a good time to detoxify at a cellular level – and when your cells feel good, you do too.
