Detoxification

What is Detoxification?

The human body possesses amazing detoxification systems. We eliminate toxins through the liver, kidneys, intestines, respiratory system and skin. The liver plays its part by detoxifying chemicals and metabolizing drugs. Through bile, these elements are transported to the intestines, and the waste products are eliminated. The kidneys purify the blood by filtering out toxins and excreting them through urine. The lungs are marvelous filters and remove carbonic gas and phlegm (filled with wastes and bacteria). The skin, the largest organ of the body, eliminates certain toxins and helps the kidneys in detoxification.

The system is elaborate and quite efficient under natural and healthy circumstances. Unfortunately, today’s world is filled with toxins that most bodies are just not equipped to handle. Pollution, preservatives, insecticides and drugs can be too much for the body to eliminate, so they remain in the body.

What is Toxic Overload?

Toxins are in the food you eat, the water you drink and the air you breathe. You are probably aware of most environmental toxins: pesticides, caffeine and preservatives, to name a few. But you may not realize that our bodies produce natural toxins, such as ammonia and carbon dioxide, which linger in the body if they can’t be broken down. The liver, lymphatic system, kidneys, skin, intestines, blood and lungs filter all these toxins from your body. When overloaded, your body becomes inefficient and toxins of all types can build up.
