People have recognized the benefits of detoxifying the body from poisons and wastes for many centuries. Each ancient culture had their own ways of detoxifying the body through the use of heat, smoke or herbal preparations. Today we recognize even more, the benefits of regular detoxification of the internal human body. We are exposed to tens of thousands of chemical compound in our environment, food, water and even in our homes, every day. Ninety five percent of these chemicals were unknown 30 years ago, meaning that the body has a very hard time to detox from the presence of these unknown chemical compounds. Colonics, the irrigation of the large intestine is fine as far as it goes but colonics cannot detox the liver or the kidneys, two organs that are responsible for handling the vast majority of toxins in the body. Colonics can be helpful, especially in cases of constipation, but detoxification with a total approach to all the organs of elimination is far more effective. Colon cleansing is not as effective unless we also provide a liver cleanse. Cleansing the internal environment of the body is essential for detoxification. Detox programs that include the liver, kidney, bowel, bladder and colon are far more effective that mere colon cleansing alone. Our formula, developed at The Institute of Nutritional Science, addresses all these key organs in one pleasant detoxification program. Detox programs that do not address all the organs of elimination are providing only a fraction of the benefit that may be seen when total detoxification is carried out. We recommend detoxifying two or three times per year with our herbal combination that will provide a complete cleansing of the internal organs of elimination within the body. There are many methods of detoxifying the body. Exercise and increased perspiration is one form of detoxifying the body. Steam and sauna rooms have long been used to enhance this detoxifying method. Fasting is another popular method of detoxifying the body. When we fast we change the body chemistry from acidic to very alkaline. This state would not be healthy for prolonged periods because when our digestive system is alkaline, we effectively digest proteins or absorb many nutrients, especially minerals. Short-term fasting that produces alkalinity, say for 48 to 72 hours can be very helpful in removing toxins from the digestive system as well as the soft tissues of the body.
The use of select herbs, in concentrated form is also used regularly for the detoxification of the body. Herbal extracts have varying actions on different organs of the body. For a more complete detoxification of the body, we use a combination of herbal concentrates, each designed to address a different organ of elimination. By doing this we achieve a deeper detox than by focusing on the colon alone. Any detox program must focus on the liver, as liver detox is essential in achieving the full benefits of cleansing. Colon Cleanses or colonics as they are often referred to, have been popular for a very long time. In and of themselves, they do offer benefit in removing waste matter from the walls of the colon. This impacting of the colon wall is most often a direct consequence of the refined diet, which is lacking in fiber. Colonics will go far in alleviating this problem but colonics will not offer a deeper detoxification as the process does not address the other primary organs of elimination especially the liver. A colon cleanse with the various colonics available should definitely be considered if you have constipation or other specific colon problems. The long-term solution to these problems is often an increase in the amount of fiber in the diet. The industrialized diet does not offer even half of the fiber that most of us need for colon regularity. Fiber supplements are often the answer. For anyone wishing to provide their body with the most complete detoxifying program, we suggest a combination of the different facets of detox into one program.
