Detox is one thing desperation is another thing which typically the dictionary says is to become free of impurities. It is usually used for when we are trying to get rid of chemical s, pesticides insecticides , [Inaudible] those types of things and these xenon type biotic compounds that are there are not normally found in the body so the body has to figure out how to get rid of them . Drugs like nan antibiotics is really like a xenobiotic far as the body is concerned because the body is does not produce it nor is it part of the normal dietary so it is something that is definitely foreign so many medication portion ally have partially heavy metals and different types of chemicals that write definitely toxic to the body.
There e arte a number of techniques. Perhaps you physicians or therapies that you treat with will you or recommend a variety of these types of therapy. They certainly involve achiliation therapy. Saunas can be a big deal and movement and massage and vitamins and minerals and substances wish we will bind up these antibiotics, we can monitor levels, and we can do infrared radiation using an infrared sauna. We know that the benefits of that I are quote intensive , It can be one of the things which will help people Lowe their blood pressure , you may obviously be able to lose weight .It will improve their circulation .
It is part of the idea of trying to move the body back into this place of balance. We can look at the component of the infrared compartment of the electro magnetics spectrum. We listen to the radio which is part of the spectrum. Many people who use microwave to cook food. We use visible light other whose we wouldn’t be able to see anything. When you go to a doctor or a dentist they take an x-ray. Ultra violet light can have the effect of supporting the skin and that type of things. So in between all of this is this infrared which can also be useful for a therapeutic effect just like the other aspects are very helpful in our society . We have these chambers we call where they are usually l made from wood and they are the infrared saunas, a little bit different from the conventional sauna in that the conventional sauna you have the air gets very hot and in an infrared it almost more penetrates the body which is why it is able to produce number of these physiological and even psychological positive effect to get to where we are trying to get to .
So we talked about detoxification , desperation and then the third aspect of cleansing is the physiological action because detox and depuration depending on which therapy you are using may exceed the body’s limits of physiology and when you do that then of course you start having side effects because we job[pushed the body beyond it slim it .It’s like stretching a rubber band too often and too much and then it never goes back to its regular size. We can look at drainage as this aspect of support of therapy which when we do a number roof those which will facilitate the body’s ability to remove waster products.
How does the body accomplish this? It accomplish it through rather complexes biochemical process. Much of it which happens in your liver. The liver of course is not the most important organ because they are all important but the liver is the wanly organ that we as human if you cut out half of the liver within a few months it will grow back to its normal size. When they do a liver transplant for example if the liver is too big for the person they have taken it from to put into they can just cut the liver in half, put it is because that’s how you can get a liver for a little baby because obviously baby has very tiny livers.
You can take a supporting match, just cut the piece you want, stick it in and you can give it to several different people and it will grow to the appropriate size. So the liver is an extremely imprint component of the detoxification process. It oozes through a number of these different phases, we call phase one and has two. They contain a number of biochemical compounds that allow that to happen and I think the easiest way to think about it is that the phase one component of what the liver is doing. It so like putting all your garbage in the garbage pail. So you are bringing it to one central point. On the day that your garbage is collected you put it out at the road however it works in you city and then the phase two aspect is when the garbage truck comes along and get its rid of it .
It so important that we have these two aspects. If the garbage truck comes along and you don’t have the garbage at the road then nothing happens of if you put it on the road and the garbage truck doesn’t come along it doesn’t get rid of it . You need both these phases to be working properly in order to people y detoxify the body. We have this idea that whatever the toxin is, once again its mental, emotional l, physical whatever level we have these biochemical processes that eventually it creates a way for it to get out of the body. In order to support those specific processes that’s where vitamins , minerals , antioxidants all come into play because they are essential for metabolising and allowing the body to metabolise all these different c components that are going on .
There’s different ones for the phase one, there are different nutrients for phase two. They all have to be in place , they have to be optimised which is why your practitioner will do their best to try and understand that if you may insufficient , deficient , it could be a function of absorption , mal-absorption at that type of thing . a moncre which is a medical term , basically this comes out of Webster’s dictionary that basically says it’s an organ or part of the body that gives off waste products and it is typically associated with these particcualr organs especially the lymphatic system, the colon of course , the lungs , the liver that we have just been talking about , the skin and the k kidney are all important ways that the body needs to get rid of things . One of the analogies that I would like to use is the ideaof the body as a bucket for what’s going on. If this bucket over time just keep filling up and filling up and you can’t get to out through these moncres over here then what happens is that it ends up spilling over and so these are what we call the primary ways that the biddy tried it keep this bucket from overflowing but with all the this that happens in our lives. That’s why chariot disease starts with an empty bucket but buy the time its starts overflowing this thing has been filling up for a long period of time . The body is doing its best to keep up and start to get the involvement of other types of tissues for what’s going on.
We can look at therefore label tests that will support, that can give us a clue of how well the body is detoxifying. Threw is jets idea of standard reference ranges which just mean you’re so call normal , doesn’t mean your optical . We are more interested in whether our patient evaluations dyeing optimal level. Why do we need to detoxify. By now it’s probably a little bit clear r that we are constantly being exposed and if everything is working great then it is not really a problem. However based on the number of individuals who have the nature of some type of chronic illness we know that these things have been accumulating and the statistics are suggesting that about 25% of Americans have some forms of heavy metals that they are exposed to just in everyday life. Whether it comes from food , whether it comes from drink whether it comes from their work place , their environment , the air that they breath , the pace that they live , whether it comes from filing in your teeth , it comes from somewhere and a considerably amount of people have this particcualr problem .
We have this problems of these toxins in our environment and of curse if we are at the top of food chain like we are they start to via accumulate in plants , they bio accumulate in animals , in fish , in those types of thing that we require to be supportive of life . That just the things that we ingest and then they are this that’s we breathe in and are exposed to. Whether it is dust , mould or synthetic consumer products , solvents , second hand smoke , [Inaudible] and all those kinds of this and then we have lot of exposures into water .
APA did a study several years ago of the number of water systems h throughout the United States and they found that in the water supplies of big cities you can pretty much get any drug you ant because its already in their., in other words you can her ear people saying how do I have such a high amount of oestrogens in [Inaudible] . It could be biochemical problem or alternatively you could be drinking tap water where a lot of women hare using hormone replacement or oestrogen or whatever and it just being eliminated in the water supply and it’s not being removed.
It says something about the whole idea of having proper water filtration system. We know mercury it’s definitely not news. It’s made the news, its highly toxic to the nervous system, there is a concern about eating these types of fusing that have high levels of mercury and so we suggest that you avoid these particular are types of fish because they tend to bio accumulate. That. Unfortunately even in farm fish which are smaller fish we can still tend to concentrate some of the toxins in things. These are e the preferred fish , the ones that are lower in mercury , salmon , policy , flounder , trout and that type of things . We know that pesticide unfortunately are found on foods which is why we are constantly promoting as much as you possibly can. You are better off to try and do organic foods. We look in the typical aspects of the supermarket by consumer reports did this? They say what are the ten most contaminated foods and there are the ten most contaminated foods. Apples, peppers, cellar, cherries, grapes, nectarines etc. It’s like what am i going to eat. That’s why we suggest as much as possible we try and eat organic foods and ideally of course of our emoncries are working efficiently then the body is capable of eliminating but If our emoncries is not as efficient as we tend to accumulate it then we add cleaning products, detergents, soap etc. around it’s no wonder why we start to bio accumulate all these particcualr type of products that we are basically being exposed to.
Who needs detoxification? Probably figures it out by now that there’s isn’t nay chronic illness that wouldn’t benefit from sort of detoxification and these are some of the common type of reason that people goes to the doctor and things we see in our clinic on a day to day basis .
