Detox Now

A way to do this is to begin with a full deep spring cleaning of your body. The first step will be a Colon Cleansing. The second step will be a Chelation (oral or intravenous) to get rid of all the toxic chemicals and metals accumulated in your entire body. It is mandatory for people affected by one or more of our disease of affluence ( Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, etc.)

The third step towards wellness is to use Juicing of fresh organic vegetables and fruits to get rid of the toxins and free-radicals lingering in your body while simultaneously loading your body with anti-oxidants. The fourth step will be to clean your lymphatic system through Lymphatic Massage and Brushing. The fifth step is to continue cleaning your temple, your body, with the help of pure water. The sixth step is the use of Deep Breathing techniques: bringing oxygen and life to each of your cells. The last useful step is to take some steam sauna perfumed with cleansing essential oils or herbs. You can build your own inexpensive sauna at home: a small electrical stove topped with one pressure cooker filled with pure water and few drops of cleansing aromatic essential oils.

Getting rid of Mucus

Another side effect of the wrong diet is excess mucus forming along the intestinal lining, which prevents the absorption of micro nutrients and vitamins necessary for optimal health. The presence of that mucus limits the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, Vitamins A, D, E and K. Synthesis of parts of Vitamin B complex, a function performed by intestinal bacteria comes to a halt in a mucus lined intestine. As you  can read in ” the China Study”, animal proteins are also responsible for Coronary Heart Disease, Cholesterol, Type two Diabetes and Cancer. It is possible to prevent or reverse these conditions. This mucus is also loaded with toxic chemicals and metals. * See my category ‘ Nutrition “ for more information.

Obviously, a person who wants to achieve a greater degree of wellness, will want to rid his or her intestine of such troublesome mucus and of biding agents in their arteries and colon.

Casein’s Sticky Secret

Let’s just look at one example for a minute, casein. Casein is a milk by-product that you ingest through dairy products, especially cheese. Did you know that cheese has ten times the casein density of milk? In fact Casein is a strong bending agent that gives cheese that sticky, oily texture. Several industries are use casein for this “wonderful quality”.

The wood industry uses casein as an adhesive to glue wood together. The paint industries use it as a coating agent. The cutlery industries use it for knife handles and to create strong light plastics. The textile industry uses casein to create new fabrics. Dr T Campbell, like many other researchers, fed mice and rats casein in order to give them cancer for his studies on animal proteins.

Mucus and bending agents can be eliminated by consumption of nutritious organics juices. A fasting, where you only consume juice, can create a cleansed and healthiest body.

The Cottage Cheese Look

A fatty diet can also lead to the formation of cellulite, acne, dry skin, oily skin and unwanted body fat. When cellulite becomes lodged in the fibrous tissue under the skin, then it causes the skin to take-on a dimpled appearance. Some women described the look of their cellulite as a “cottage cheese look.” Obviously, few women or men want to have a skin that could be compared to cottage cheese. The fat under the skin needs to be melted and flushed out. Such flushing will occur when a person decides to try a juice diet.

The above examples highlight specific times when the drinking of juices can enhance the health of a particular body part. When the bloodstream has become full of toxins, then the antioxidants in juice can eliminate those toxins. A body free of toxins can achieve a higher level of overall health.

Juicing Cleansing Power

Organic fruit or vegetable Juices have the ability to cleanse the body and to help you lose weight. They clean out the dead cells, and flush out fatty deposits and toxins, allowing them to be washed out of the body from the liver and kidneys. The ability of juice to cleanse the body represents one of the many physiological benefits created by temporary adherence to this diet.

In addition, the drinking of organic fruit and vegetable juice also delivers several other benefits. Juice can energize the body. The mind becomes clearer. The pH in the body is restored, putting the body’s basic biochemistry back in balance. I personally found, as many organic juicers have found, that my hair was turning darker from white to dark silver. This was something the we attribute to the Chlorophyll in these juices. I never felt as good as I do when I am on a raw organic juice diet.

The nutrients in juice aid the development of body tissues. The body can build tissue better when those tissues are fed with micro-nutrients from juice. The body is revitalized. Each organ works more efficiently, when they have newer and healthier cells and abundant anti-oxidants.

Not only do the nutrients in juice affect the cells in the internal body organs, they also revitalize skin cells. They cause the skin to become softer and silkier. The nutrients help the skin better retain natural moisture. It no longer looks dry and flaky.

A body nourished with juice has efficient lungs. The vessels in the lungs have been freed of mucus., allowing the lungs to take-in a larger amount of oxygen. That is the same thing that happens when someone takes part in a cardiovascular exercise. The body tends to take in more oxygen then it needs. In fact, you will be surprised to see that the top of your chest will become slightly larger and your waist thinner. I guess this is due to a change in our way of breathing.

What value is there in the acquisition of so much oxygen? All of that extra oxygen intake invigorates the cells of the heart and the circulatory system. That extra oxygen makes them stronger and healthier.

Both fruit and vegetable juice can serve as a rich source of important antioxidants. Antioxidants are what you need to fight disease and aging. Others belong to a class of substances called phytochemicals. Different fruits and vegetables hold a sizeable amount of either antioxidants or phytochemicals.

Mother Nature’s Pharmacy

Foods rich in beta carotene: oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes, strawberries, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, green pepper, sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, spinach, turnip greens, winter squash, collard greens, cilantro, thyme. All of the aforementioned will protect your cells from the damaging effects of free radicals by providing a good source of vitamin A and will also boost your immune system. Your reproductive system will benefit from theses chemicals compounds as well.

The list of pytochemicals exceeds the list of antioxidants. One of those pytochemicals, Capsaicin, can be found in hot peppers and is s able to kill prostate cancer and lung cancer cells.

Another pytochemical, Coumarine, has blood-thinning, anti-fungicidal and anti-tumor properties. It comes from drinking citrus juice, or juice from a tomato, and it stays in your blood for less than 30 minutes.

Many different juices contain flavanoids. Berries, carrots, citrus fruits, peppers and tomatoes all have high flavanoid content. Some flavanoids, like other phytochemicals, can help the body fight disease and work to prevent the formation of a malignant tumor ₍₁₎. Another good source of these powerful antioxidants is Green Tea and/or organic grape juice.

Indoles are important members of the phytochemical family. Indoles all have a similar chemical structure. Broccoli and other vegetables in the cabbage family serve as a rich source of it. Like flavanoids, indoles have the ability to prevent the growth of cancerous cells. These fantastic nutrients can boost the production of certain enzymes which inhibit the formation of malignant tissue and rejuvenate your skin.
