Why Detox?

The primary cause of disease is the accumulation of waste and toxins, which are not eliminated from our body. Some symptoms of toxicity include headaches, fatigue, skin problems, frequent colds, aching joints, cravings, digestive problems, allergies, and sensitivity to smells or chemicals. (see Body Detox)

Sulphur Rich Foods

Dietary detox measures should include sulfur-rich foods; cabbage, garlic, beans and egg yolk. Asafetida is also an extremely powerful detoxifying agent, it has even more of the sulphhydryl compounds that are found in garlic and onions and is reputed to be an even more powerful detoxifier. Green garlic and shallots are also very effective; depending on the soil they were grown in they may contain some beneficial trace elements such as germanium.

Not only does the sulphur compounds clear out toxins but there seems to be some antioxidant effect.

Toxins: Lead

In the ancient world and the middle ages, sugar of lead (lead acetate) was used to sweeten wines, usually resulting in severe and widespread lead poisoning. Something similar happened in England in the 18th Century when the cider producers used it for the same purpose. The resulting symptoms were so common that they became known as Devonshire Colic. Its use in sweetening beers was banned in England in the early part of the 20th century. Although no longer so common in our environment it is estimated that over half a million children in the USA have dangerously high levels.

Detox with Sauna Therapy!

One detoxification method has been shown particularly effective in reducing body burdens of some persistent fat soluble organic chemicals. This method consists of aerobic exercise, extended sessions in a sauna, polyunsaturated oil, and nutritional supplements. The exercise, sauna treatment, and niacin aid in mobilizing fat-stored toxins, while the oil blocks reabsorption of the toxins excreted into the intestines by bile acids. The sauna induces sweating which brings about excretion of toxins through the sweat and sebum. Reports have shown the regimen to be safe and effective in bringing about substantial reductions of PCB's and various drugs and pesticides.

Sauna detoxification is thought to lead to the removal of fat soluble chemicals from the body by encouraging their elimination through sebaceous and sweat glands. Excretion of lipophylic chemicals through the sweat glands has been documented for a variety of compounds including morphine, amphetamines, chlorinated pesticides, herbicides, PCB's, PCP's, and general volatile substances.

Sauna benefits the Heart!

Heart benefits from a sauna have been proven through medical studies. A study recently published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology tested sauna therapy in people with coronary risk factors (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetics, and smokers). Even Chuwa Tei, MD, who led the study, was surprised at the level that sauna therapy helped the test subjects. The subjects went into a sauna daily, and in only two weeks, their blood vessel function improved by 40%. The study showed that even people who currently had heart disease or severely blocked arteries benefited greatly from sauna therapy.

    The Atkins and South Beach diets are two very popular and remarkably similar diets that focus on low carbohydrate intake. Both diets were developed by medical doctors who wanted to get away from the opinion generally prevalent, that fats in the diet were primarily to blame for obesity, which was, and still is, a major problem in the population.

    Reducing your daily calorie input from the food you eat is a well known strategy based on the scientific principle that the amount of calories you consume each day should be no more than the amount you use each day, rather they should be less. If you consistently take in slightly less calories than you expend then you should gradually shed weight as your body uses its reserves.

    If you have previously tried to lose weight and failed why was that? Was it perhaps that you didn’t really feel motivated enough and your initial enthusiasm began to wane after a couple of weeks when it seemed you had achieved only a disappointingly small amount of weight loss? Was it perhaps that you found your chosen diet too difficult or too time consuming to follow?

    If you are one of the many people trying to lose weight, have been dieting for a few weeks, but seen no apparent weight loss, it could be due, in part at least, to hidden calories. If you are on a proper, healthy diet, then you can expect it to take a few weeks before any noticeable difference occurs. Your weight can vary by up a couple of pounds from week to week anyway depending on various factors such as hormones, so until you are confident that you have lost 3-4 pounds you will not be happy.

    Fad diets and crash diets, such as the cabbage soup diet and Hollywood diet, are not only unhealthy but also tend to result in rebound weight gain. In other words, the weight you have lost is soon regained, either because the weight loss was mainly water, soon inevitably restored by the body, or because you cannot keep up a severely restrictive food diet for ever, or even for very long.
