In today’s modern environment we are exposed to a tremendous amount of external toxins from our air, water, and food, as well as many internal toxins created from our own physiology and emotional thoughts. Simply put, a TOXIN is a natural or synthetic chemical poison that can affect the body by internal or external means. More than 120,000 human-made chemicals have been introduced into the environment, in one form or another, with over a thousand more produced in each successive year. At the same time, microbial organisms and their associated toxins, both internal and external, are being influenced by the vast number of chemicals. Thus, they are able to mutate at an astonishing rate. Evidence is mounting to show a definitive link between the bodily tissue accumulations of toxins and the development of many chronic diseases.
Our toxic burden is determined by the rate at which our body’s natural methods of detoxification can keep up with our exposure to pollutants, chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, cleaning products, preservatives, and additives, in addition to our own body’s production of metabolic waste, free radicals, and noxious emotions or thoughts. The process of detoxification or elimination can be hampered for many reasons. When toxins overwhelm the normal cleansing mechanisms of the body, inflammation is created to aid in the removal of these toxins. These inflammatory signals are the start of a disease process and if not remedied will become chronic. The body attempts to compensate this overload by depositing the toxins in fat cells, cysts, polyps and tumors. After years of storage, the toxins move into body cells and tissues creating chronic degenerative changes. Therefore, having powerful methods to assist the body in cellular cleansing is invaluable.
