Our bodies naturally detoxify everyday as part of a normal body process. Detoxification is one of the body’s most basic automatic functions of eliminating and neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Unfortunately in this day and age, with the high levels of stress, fast paced living, pollution found in the air, water and food we eat..., our bodies have a hard time keeping up! The modern day, western diet with too much animal protein, too much saturated and trans-fats, too much caffeine and alcohol radically alters our internal ecosystem. Body systems and organs that were once capable of naturally cleaning out unwanted substances are now completely over-loaded to the point where toxic material remains inside our tissues. Our bodies try to protect us from dangerous substances by isolating and surrounding them with mucous and fat so that they will not cause an imbalance or trigger an immune response (some people carry up to 15 extra pounds of mucous that harbours this waste). Detoxification through special cleansing diets and enemas is the best way to assist your body’s natural self-cleaning system. It is especially important for immune-compromised diseases like cancer, arthritis, diabetes and chronic fatigue. However, even if your diet is good, a spring cleanse can revitalise your system and rid your body of harmful bacteria, viruses and parasites. Many of my regular guests return each year for their annual cleanse to ensure optimal health and energy. I too participate in at least one detox each year and feel very fortunate to be able to do this for body, mind and spirit. |
