Understanding Our Body's Natural Detox System
Natural Detox System
Our body has a natural detox system. This system comprises of various organs as well as supporting systems to facilitate our body to purge out toxins. The processes of expulsion of these toxins are either through urination, fecal excretion, breath, or these toxins can also be neutralized by your organ. However, these organs and supporting systems are like rivers flowing toward the sea. It can be smooth in its travel as long as there are no accumulation of riverbank debris and narrowing of the riverbank. Then think again, how do we accumulate riverbank debris? More often than not, it is the human intervention into the natural habitat that resulted in this. Similarly, it is the sheer human created junks being introduced into our body that chokes up and narrows our elimination system and slows down its detox function. So what are these human created junks? These are simply the drug residues, chemicals, food additives, saturated fat, high sugar, fungi, pesticides, heavy metals, excessive carbon monoxide, etc. These junks were never available in the olden days but of recent decades our increasing exposure to them has led us to see more cancer cases, chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, as well as inflammatory diseases like arthritis. We have to take note as not to abuse our natural detox system but allow them to function at their optimum. It is through proper care of all these organs that they can expel toxins and neutralize them easily. If they have been choked up for some time, it would require patience for your body to clear the debris accumulated over time and allow our detoxification organs to work their best again. This is the reason that we suffer from an initial stage of healing crisis (clearing up the debris) and then a strong feeling of rejuvenation and alertness (proper functioning of our natural detox function). My mom was able to take this into perspective when she was diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia. She has an LDL (low density lipid) of 215. She was required to be on statin medication (Lipitor™ ) which she took for only 3 months. She strongly believed that she is able to turn everything around through a proper dieting. But after one year she managed to reduce her LDL slightly. It was until the introduction of a more wholistic detox program that she followed consistently that she was able to bring it to the level of 90 in the 2nd year. What is even more amazing is that her HDL is at a level of 122. My mom has never looked younger and sharper for the last 20 years as she does today. Before we explain what detox program my mom used, we should understand what our natural detox system are comprised of and what kind of function that they perform. Then we facilitate them by stopping any further choking and optimize their detoxification process. Let us explore the natural cleansing system involving our organs: 1. Liver Function 2. The Colon 3. Kidney Detoxification System 4. Lung Detoxification System 5. Gallbladder Detox System
