Besides purging the blood
and tissues of toxic residues, a period of detox
also provides other essential long-term benefits
for health and longevity. One of those benefits is
to cleanse and rejuvenate the entire excretory system-
clearing clogged bowels and congested lungs, cleaning
dirty lymphs and blemished skin, and flushing out
dirty kidneys and bladder. The more toxic you become,
the less efficiently your excretory organs work,
and if extreme toxaemia continues for too long, serious
organic damage to the excretory organs can occur.
Another benefit of periodic detox is restoration
of maximum immunity and resistance, which depends
on adequate alkalization and oxygenation of the blood
and cellular fluids. Bacteria and other germs simply
cannot survive in a body that is sufficiently alkaline
and oxygenated. Even a microbe as aggressive as anthrax
can only infect a person whose body is already in
a toxic state of acidosis and anaerobia, and this
explains why, under precisely the same degree of
exposure, some people 'catch' it and others do not.
These days, with all the hazardous chemicals and
microbes that contaminate our living environment,
spending three to seven days once or twice a year
doing a serious detox programme certainly seems worth
the investment of time and effort.
Problem: Toxaemia
Solution: Detox for Health & Longevity
The basic problem of toxaemia
and the solution of detox are summarized in the
next schematic diagram:
The Problem:
The Solution:
stress
(environmental pollution; daily life) strain
(physical/mental/emotional overwork,
exhaustion, worry) enervation
(overdrive in sympathetic mode) inefficient elimination
(bowels, lungs, kidneys, skin) retention of toxic wastes
(overdrive in sympathetic mode) toxaemia
(acidosis and anaerobia) acute disease, chronic degenerative
conditions, cancer
rest
(peace and quiet; clean living) relaxation
(physical/mental/emotional
tranquility, comfort, support) regeneration
(rest in parasympathetic mode,
replenish energy, restore vital functions) swift and efficient elimination
(bowels, lungs, kidneys, skin) elimination of toxic wastes,
purification
(alkalization and oxygenation) immunity and resistance,
health and longevity
The importance of a sustained period of rest and relaxation as an absolute
prerequisite for any detox programme to be effective cannot be over-emphasized,
especially in today's fast-paced, high-stress world, where resting quietly
and doing nothing is regarded as a 'waste of time'. As Dr Tilden notes:
'The present day
strenuousness causes enervation which checks
elimination, and the retained toxins bring
on toxaemia'.
Rest from habits that
enervate is the only way to put nature in line
for healing. Sleep and rest of body and mind are
necessary to keep a sufficient supply of energy.
Few people in active life rest enough.' This means
taking a break not only from hard work and hard
play, but also from worry, anger and all other
forms of emotional excitement and strong sensory
stimulation, all of which enervate the nervous
system, inhibit immune response and impede efficient
elimination of toxins from the body.
If you lack the discipline to conduct your own detox program, the best
solution is The CleanseComplete
Program, or if you can afford it, to check into a quiet, comfortable
spa or health resort that has the facilities required to support an effective
programme of detoxification and rejuvenation. Such resorts are becoming
increasingly popular throughout the world, providing a wide range of facilities
and services that not only expedite fast, efficient detoxification, but
also make the entire process a lot more pleasant. Look for places located
in tranquil settings next to the sea or up in the mountains, preferably
those which offer facilities such as therapeutic massage, steam rooms,
whirlpool baths, hot springs, raw juice bars and other restorative health
regimens. Instead of always taking action holidays that leave you more
exhausted and toxic than when you started, try taking a relaxing health
holiday for a change, one that leaves you feeling thoroughly rested, totally
refreshed and completely rejuvenated. You'll be amazed how much better
you feel and how much better your body functions after allowing your system
to drain out all its toxic residues, eliminate acid wastes and restore
natural balance in the blood and tissues. In the following chapters, we'll
discuss the best ways to accomplish this.
