The Toxic World We Live In.

In today's modern society, it is critical to keep the inside of your body as clean as the outside, if not cleaner. Environmental pollution is  major contributing factor in the importance of internal detoxification.

Every day, you are exposed to thousands of chemicals in the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, and in the products you bathe in or use on your skin. The EPA estimates that, in one year, the amount of toxins dumped into the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink was equivalent to loading 18-wheelers full of toxins and placing them end to end. The line would go from Los Angeles CA., to Des Moines, Iowa. This represents the amount of toxins that are contaminating everything around you in any given year.

Of the 70,000 chemical being used commercially in the United States, the EPA considers 65,000 of them to be potentially --if not definitely --hazardous to your health. And that's not all. More than 6,000 new chemicals are being tested in the U.S. every week!

So where are these chemicals ending up? In the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the food you eat. All of these toxins begin to accumulate, causing your body's metabolism, intestines, and bowels to slow down, leading to constipation and less than one bowel movement a day. This means that your body is literally marinating in chemicals, toxins, and spoiled food for days on end. In short you are auto-intoxicating.

What is Internal Detoxification?

Internal detoxification is an ongoing process that our bodies perform on a daily basis. Our metabolic processes continuously encounter and dispose of a variety of toxins and poisons. Some are cellular waste materials of our own making, toxic by-products of metabolism. Others consist of environmental pollutants, pesticides and poisons ingested into our systems through the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink.

Under ideal circumstances the body is well equipped to neutralize and dispose of those toxins through the liver, spleen, and eliminative channels (bowel, kidneys, lungs, skin, and lymphatic system).

Proper Digestion & Elimination

Proper digestive and eliminative functions entails having 2 to 3 good bowel movements per day. Most people are not aware of this, and go through their daily lives eliminating once a day, once every other day, or less.

Infants are a perfect example. Ask any mother for proof—a baby will eat and immediately eliminate. Their new digestive systems have not had time to develop the mal-absorption problems caused by improper diet, environmental toxins and stress. Faulty digestion and elimination develop in an individual through the years of improper lifestyle and dietary habits.

When we are not eliminating properly, wastes may not be expelled for days, weeks, months or years. When we don’t eliminate our wastes, toxins backup in the colon, which can cause autointoxication, or self poisoning. This occurs when the bowel walls become encrusted with un-eliminated fecal matter, creating a "catch 22" situation. Not only does this toxic material hamper the absorption of vital nutrients through the intestinal wall and provide a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria, but it also causes the blood capillaries lining the intestinal wall to begin absorbing these toxins into the bloodstream, consequently polluting all of our organs. This autointoxication lowers our overall feeling of health and vitality.

"Every tissue is fed by the blood, which is supplied by the intestinal system. When the intestines are dirty, the blood is dirty, and so are the organs and tissues. It is the intestinal system that has to be cared for first before any effective healing can take place."  Dr Bernard Jensen, Ph.D.

Pocketing of Waste Material In the Colon

The chart below illustrates the importance of how health and sickness have their roots in the colon. It is easy to see how an improper diet affects your colon and in turn, inflicts pain or discomfort on the other parts of the body. Pocketing and buildup of waste materiel in various areas of the colon will affect those areas of the body indicated on the chart.

Thus, asking if you should cleanse would be like asking your auto mechanic if you ever need to change the oil in your car?

Signs Of A Toxic Colon

Some of the more obvious signs of an unhealthy digestive tract include: constipation, stomach bloat, poor digestion, gas, fatigue, weight gain, excessive mucous, arthritis, poor skin, poor memory, lower backache, depression, body odor, bad breath, etc. Each of these symptoms has the potential to be alleviated through  cleansing techniques.

When sufferers finally visit a physician they usually relate a history of one or more of the following complaints that go back years: constipation, coated tongue, fetid breath, shallow complexion, dark circles under the eyes, abnormal body odor, cold hands and feet, blood pressure up or down, brittle nails and hair, sagging posture, tension, fatigue, allergies, indigestion, menstrual problems, swelling  of legs, asthma, backache, and loss of memory or concentration. 

Returning Your Body To Homeostasis

On page 134 of his book Natural Cures, Mr. Trudeau writes "we know that the causes of all disease are (1) too many toxins in the body, (2) electromagnetic chaos, and (3) stress. Therefore we must address each of these areas on how to achieve (a) no toxins in the body, (b) no nutritional deficiencies (c) no electromagnetic chaos. and (d) no stress. "

Mr. Trudeau goes on to say...."Here are the specific recommendations. Doing these things will turn your body's pH from acid to alkaline. Doing these things will create a state in the body of balance known as homeostasis. Doing these things, in my opinion, will prevent virtually all illness and disease from occurring and CURE you from every illness and disease."
(Please note: The recommendations are Kevin Trudea's. The products to address his recommendations are the products carried at Accelerated Wellness)

• "Get 15 Colonics in 30 Days. "Getting a series of 15 colonics over a thirty-day period is one of the most important first steps in cleansing and detoxifying your body. Most people lose between 3 & 15 pounds simply by doing this procedure. Your hair, skin and nails begin to radiate and glow with health. Your energy levels can sky rocket, depression, stress, anxiety and fatigue are usually dramatically reduced or eliminated. Food cravings are reduced or vanish completely. (Although this is an excellent idea, as a Professional Colon Hydrotherapist, I don't believe everyone needs 15 colonic sessions.)

• Do a complete colon cleanse. Colon Cleanse & Detox- a medium strength colon cleanser for those that experience only one bowel movement every 3-5 days. Super ll- an extra strength colon cleanser for those that experience only one bowel movement or less a week.

• Do a liver/gallbladder cleanse. The Liver—"Factory of Life”. As the largest and hardest working organ in the body, the liver is the main biochemical factory in our bodies, continually processing and synthesizing nutrients, in an attempt to meet the needs of the body and homeostasis. Hepatic Cleanse Or the Liver Gallbladder Flush

• Do a parasite cleanse. Parasites like heavy metals are a major cause of disease. Para-Control is a comprehensive two-part program that stimulates the body’s immune system, and creates an environment that is unfriendly to parasites.

• Do a Candida Cleanse. Candida overgrowth can be a cause of virtually every symptom imaginable--headaches, gas, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, nausea, allergies, asthma, Fibromyalgia, arthritis, diabetes, constipation, yeast infections, dandruff, acne, bad breath, fatigue, depression, stress, and on and on.

• Do a full-body cleanse.  Multi-Cleanse Formula-is formulated specifically to address all channels of elimination, including the bowel, kidneys, lungs, skin and lymphatic system, as well as the bloodstream, cells, and tissues of the body.

• Drink eight full glasses of pure water daily.

• Sweat with a dry infrared radiant heat sauna, not a steam sauna.  (TheraSauna™ emits the greatest amount of Infrared in the 9.4 micron range. When any cell or tissue in the body is exposed to these levels of Infrared Heat, response mechanisms stimulate the healing process in the body.)

• Get full-body Swedish and/or deep tissue massages.

• Get specialized treatments as needed. Treatments such as foot reflexology, acupuncture (not available at AW), cranial-sacral therapy, essential oil treatments and various other holistic, all natural therapies have profound positive effects on health.

In addition to what Kevin Trudeau recommends above, as a professional in the alternative health care field since 1990, I recommend the following supplements for cleansing and a healthy colon:

• Cellfood Concentrate- Cellfood cleans out toxins by releasing abundant, vital oxygen (without which cellular detoxification cannot take place), and then supplies 129 trace nutrients (78 minerals, 34 enzymes and 17 amino acids) to feed the cells. These nutrients--as well as cell-building hydrogen and electrolytes--are delivered by Cellfood's formulation at the deepest cellular level with unsurpassed bioavailability. This award winning formula naturally provides the highest level of nascent oxygen and hydrogen in supplement form improving energy, endurance, and natural health.

• I-Flora- The most powerful probiotic (pro-life) available with 16 powerful strains of probiotics and 20 billion viable strains per gram. The good friendly bacteria, or probiotics, promote the body's natural immunity, keep us healthy and help our digestion.

• Digestive Enzymes- Enzymes are the single most important element of your health and far out weigh the importance of any other nutrient. Nothing in the human body functions without enzymes making it happen. Without exception, every new "breakthrough" nutritional product being introduced on the market depends entirely upon enzymes (i.e. MSM, HGH, 5HDP, DHEA, Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids, etc.) for it's effectiveness.

• Essential Oil Omega 3-6-9 - Contains a precise combination of oils that provide your body with the perfect balance of Omega 3, Omega 6 & Omega 9 Fatty Acids, which are so necessary to optimum health.
