| Step 1: Detoxifying Each
year, we are exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals and pollutants in air, water,
food and soil. With time this "toxic load" begins to throw the body-mind
out of balance and symptoms begin to appear. If your score on the ecology screening
questionnaire is between 25-100 or if you have a score of 10 or more in any single
category you can expect your symptoms to improve by detoxifying your body. Since
each person will respond to toxic exposures in a different way, many physicians
will not recognize chronic impairment until it becomes severe enough to produce
a particular disease. While our bodies are designed to handle
a certain level of toxins, our stressful lives, polluted environment and poor
diets can overtax the system. The final result is ill health and accelerated aging. Detoxifying
the body:
Before beginning a detoxifying program you should first
do a 'toxins inventory'. It is important to first identify potential toxins in
your environment and eliminate or reduce the 'toxic load' you are exposed to. The
main components of your detoxification system include: 1.
The Skin
2. The Lungs
3. The Gastrointestinal Tract
4. The Liver
5. The Lymphatic system
6. The Urinary System
