Why Detoxify?

We have routinely asked people 100 years and older what they thought helped to create their quality of health and life span. Keep in mind that a 100-year life is very impressive. Our collection of answers includes the following:

1. 1. Walk everywhere you can.
2. 2. Drink 32 ounces of alkaline purified water each morning upon rising. Make the water cold if you feel good and make it room temperature or warmer if you feel sluggish.
3. 3. Eat natural foods as they are easy to digest.
4. 4. Eat small portions being mindful not to eat too much or overeat.
5. 5. Eat slowly, chew your food well, and breathe abdominally.
6. 6. Do not drink water or other liquids during your meals.
7. 7. Take a nap after lunch, but if another meal makes you sleepy, take a nap after it as well.
8. 8. Think and act in a positive way

What About "The Importance Of Cleaning Your Body?"

Almost everyone knows the importance of routinely taking a bath or shower, brushing teeth, and washing face and hands. As such, most will clean themselves daily, as well as bathe 5 to 7 times a week. Also, most individuals would never think of going 7 to 10 days without a bath, let alone weeks, months, years, or longer. Everyone has experienced how good they felt after a bath especially when they were really dirty. By the same token, most people do not realize how good they will feel by cleansing internally.

Allow me to ask you this question. Did you know that the outside of the body only represents about 10% of the body’s total surface area, and that the remaining 90% of total body surface area is represented by the internal (oral & nasal cavities, lungs, esophogus, stomach, intestines, bowel) portion? So, as you read further, keep in mind that most individuals only clean a very small part of the total surface of their bodies.

Today’s Toxic World

Here is an interesting fact. The Earth and everything on it is 1000 times more toxic now than it was in 1950. With this much toxic material in our water, food, and air, it has become increasingly important to take immediate measures and actions to care for ourselves, our families, and our friends.

Never before in the history of our planet has there been such an overwhelming volume of toxic material dumped upon our physical systems by our air, water, and food supply. This increases our need to implement natural, wholistic, organic forms of food, purified water, and methods of detoxification. Because of our ongoing and growing toxic exposure, changing from processed shelf-life foods to fresh nutritious food sources, makes common sense. Drinking and showering in clean water and clean air, as well as utilizing internal and external detoxification methods are some of the ways to reduce our toxic load.

Your awareness and the actions you take to make the necessary changes towards higher qualities of air, water, diet and the processes of detoxifying your body are essential for two major reasons:

1. 1. To avoid unwanted and unnecessary resultant disease processes.
2. 2. But more importantly, to generate and maintain higher qualities of good health.

Your Body’s Energy Levels

One of the simplest ways of determining how the pollution of air, water, and food are affecting you is by "paying close attention to your energy levels." Have you ever noticed that some mornings when you awaken you have endless energy and other days you feel drained? Pay attention, review what you ate and where you were the preceding day. Careful attention to your energy levels following eating something will immediately tell if that food added to your energy level, left it neutral, or decreased your amount of energy. Well, if you feel depleted be very mindful to avoid air, water, or foods that produce that feeling of depletion following their consumption. Likewise, direct yourself towards the air, water, and food sources that add to your body’s energy levels. The decisions to take a deep breath of fresh clean air, to drink crystal clean purified water, and to eat fresh organic food demonstrate you are on the right track.

Detoxification methods like regular ionic footbaths, herbal and hydrotherapy colonics, in combination with healthy, low stress lifestyle, clean ionized air, purified alkaline water, and natural food sources have had good success in establishing and maintaining long-term wellness within the individual.

Cancer Update Information

• 1. Every person has or has had cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
• 2. Cancer cells occur in our bodies between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
• 3. When a person's immune system is strong the cancer cells are destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
• 4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person may have multiple nutritional deficiencies which may be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
• 5. To overcome multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
• 6. Chemotherapy poisons rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
• 7. Radiation, while destroying cancer cells, also burns, scars, and damages healthy cells, tissues, and organs.
• 8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
• 9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
• 10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
• 11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
  CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
  • a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
  • b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
  • c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
  • d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.bout 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try to drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
  • e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.Geen tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
• 12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become purified and leads to more toxic buildup.
• 13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
• 14. Some supplements build up the immune system (anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
• 15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
• 16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.

This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
