Practical Tips To Eliminate Toxins From Your Body

If you are aware of the dangers of environmental and other toxins to human health, or have read my article on “The Amazing Benefits Of Detoxification”, you will be aware that I believe Activated Liquid Zeolite is the safest, most effective way to remove heavy metals and other toxins from the cellular level.
There are many ways to remove body toxins, and short of spending thousands on a live in detox program, here are a few of the more popular ways you can reduce body toxins and live a long, healthy life.
Breathing
I know we breathe every minute of every day. This supplies oxygen to the blood and keeps us alive. As a trained breath therapist, I can tell you that by increasing the amount of air into your lungs, and breathing rhythmically, is a very effective toxin removal regime. Up to 78% of elimination occurs through the breath. There are many trained Breath Therapists these days, and I experienced a life changing experience when I first encountered this. It really helped me clear my mind and emotions from the past. Something as simple as taking 10 or 20 deep breaths when you first awake can make a huge difference. It is quite an effective method of toxin removal.
Water
I started taking cold showers every day some 20 years ago. This stimulates your lymphatic system and a rapid change from hot to cold temperature can really invigorate you removes toxins. If you have access to a gym, some have a plunge pool and steam room. You can get great energy by switching between these. A swim in the ocean is another great way to remove body toxins using water. More extreme methods are immersing yourself in really hot water where toxins eliminate through the skin, the largest organ in the body. Some wrap themselves in a wet sheet and then put blankets around and when you remove the wrapping, it really stinks!
A good detox bath can be done with a liter of Apple Cider Vinegar or 1kg of BiCarbonate of Soda. Use the hottest water you can and then soak in it. Your skin will feel great!
While on the subject of water, be aware of what is in the water you use. Bottled water can often have the wrong stuff in it, and tap water in many towns shouldn’t be drunk. Just a build up of Calcium from water can eventually cause Arthritis according to famous nutritionist and detox expert, Dr Norman Walker! I use a wellness filter. There is a new model just out and it is fantastic. When you taste water filtered through volcanic rock, you will know why I love this filter.
Colon Cleansing
The colon is the method by which waste material is taken out of the body. If it is not functioning properly, the bowel walls will eventually weaken, leading to autointoxication whereby toxins pass back into the blood stream from the bowel. This eventually leads to serious disease. Using a good fiber product, and perhaps backing this up with Colonic Irrigations or Enemas will keep the colon working and clean. Herbal Fiberblend is the product I use and recommend for this. It is surprising how quickly many people feel more energy when their bowels are functioning correctly.
Fasting
I do not necessarily recommend fasting as a way to detox the body. The reason for this is that when you fast, you may well increase movement of toxins, but if you don’t drink huge quantities of water, you run the risk of concentrating those toxins in your body. I know a 24 or 48 hour fast can do wonders as it gives your body the chance to cleanse without the burden to dealing with toxic foods. If you must fast, I suggest you make sure you are in good health by having a check up with a health professional first, and then do a detox program at the same time.
Chelation.
EDTA chelation has been around since World War II to remove lead to which soldiers were exposed during the war. You ingest a chelating agent which attracts positively charged particle to it and then eliminates them. DMSA is a similar treatment for Mercury. The challenge is that these treatments are indiscriminate and attract vital minerals as well as heavy metals, requiring medical supervision and vitamin injections to avoid serious side effects. The other challenge is that the toxins are attached to the outside of the chelating agent, meaning they can do damage to the kidney or liver during elimination. This is something you really don’t want to do unless it is absolutely necessary.
Activated Liquid Zeolite.
In the end colon cleansers and most other forms of cleansing, do not work at the cellular level. As most of you know our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, and the health of each one contributes to our overall level of wellness. Toxins, particularly heavy metals and pesticides, which are on just about everything we eat, drink or breathe these days, attach themselves to cell receptors, restricting cells from taking up proper nutrition. Allergies in particular are often caused by irritation of weak cells by antigens, or foreign toxins. Removing the toxins can provide a permanent solution. Masking symptoms with medication can provide quick relief, but can lead to long term problems later. Detoxing the cells leads to healthy cells, which will greatly improve your level of wellness.
This is where Activated Liquid Zeolite comes to the rescue. It is a negatively charged mineral, which captures toxins in its cage, and passes them safely out of the body. Better yet, unlike most other chelation agents, it has been proven to not affect blood serum or nutritional levels in the body. In fact tests of long term users demonstrate that after most of the toxins are removed, nutritional levels balance out to what they should be.
Summary.
Detoxification is becoming an essential part of maintaining optimal health. We can no longer avoid toxins. We are being damaged by them every day. What we can do is take action to minimize exposure and get them out of the body before they do too much damage. It is important to remove toxins and heavy metals. In Activated Liquid Zeolite, we now have a safe, effective way to achieve this.

John,
Your advice is good, but you might underestimate the value of fasting.
but something else that is most helpful to people with health problems is drinking several glasses of Carrot Juice every day.
It is excellent in the nutritional sense and over time really cleanses the body while providing most of the missing nutrients in the diets of most people.
It actually removes cancer cells . I have seen this myself.
here is an extract from a letter I sent a few people.
Jim
We all know people who are on various medical diets.
We might as well call them diets because they seem to be taking so many pills, yet
if truth be known, they would be better off forgetting about the pills and just having a couple of glasses (or more if they are not well) of carrot juice each day. (Best to make your own with a juicer)
Total body rejuvenation over a few weeks. Especially helpful for Cancer sufferers.
Lots of Carrot juice and lots of preferably filtered water as well is highly recommended,
here is what someone wrote about this whole food juice.

The Wonders of CARROT JUICE
Carrot juice, because of its many healthful benefits, is frequently called a the “miracle juice.” A large number of people–throughout the United States and in all walks of life–suffering from various ailments have found that the inclusion of carrot juice in their diet has greatly improved their health. Countless others have found it to be a valuable “protective” agent in the building and maintenance of health in both children and adults, while its delicious flavor makes it popular with all members of the family as a beverage –plain or combined with other juices.
Gold mine of nutrients.
Carrot juice is one of the richest sources of vitamin A that can be used in the daily diet. It also ranks high as a source of the other vitamins, especially those of the B complex. Its mineral content is equally rich, and includes calcium, copper, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, chlorine, sulfur, and iron.
The vitamin A content of carrot juice helps to strengthen the eyes. In many cases where defective eyesight was noted–as during the war–the condition was overcome by fortifying the diet with fresh carrot juice.
One of the first evidences of vitamin A deficiency may be noted in the difficulty of adjusting the sight in a dim light, as in entering a dark room, or theatre, from a brightly lighted hall. A more serious symptom is the inability to regain focus of the road after the glare of passing automobile headlights. This sight defect is known as “night blindness,” or “glare-blindness,” and has been the cause of many serious accidents.
Vitamin A is essential in keeping healthy condition the mucous membranes which line all the cavities of the body. The mucous membrane may be described as consisting of two layers. The top layer, ~nown as epithelium is composed of billions of cells. Close under the epithelium lies the mucous membrane, a thin layer of involuntary muscle fibers., which are extremely pliable and elastic. The vitality of this lining depends upon an adequate supply of vitamin A. When a deficiency of vitamin A exists the cells harden and degenerate into a horny rough surface, obstructing the normal function of the secretion of the disinfectant mucous. Infections resulting from vitamin A deficiency may affect the bladder or kidneys, the alimentary tract, the mouth, tonsils, sinuses, the tongue, ear canal, eyes or tear ducts.
Vitamin A promotes growth of bones and teeth, the maintenance of healthy body tissues, and the maintenance of normal glandular functions. It aids in the resistance to infections. Vitamin A is especially necessary in the diet of expectant mothers to build up and maintain the health of both mother and the developing child. Fresh carrot juice should be included in the diet not only during pregnancy, but also during the period of nursing the baby.
In addition to those already mentioned, some of the symptoms which have been traced to vitamin A deficiency are: dry, scaly and rough skin, especially on the arms and legs; intestinal disorders and diarrhea; poor appetite; retarded growth; lack of vigor loss in weight and physical weakness; atrophy of the glands; poor development of teeth through defective formation of enamel and dentine–and poor gum structure, and may also be a causative factor in cases of sterility; nerve degeneration and stones in the kidney and bladder.
It is pointed out by many authorities that where a vitamin A deficiency exists, it may be the result of either inadequate amount of this vitamin in the diet, or of faulty metabolism. The latter condition may be a symptom of some physical disorder which requires diagnosis and treatment by a physician.
Another cause of vitamin A deficiency is the practice of using mineral oil which carries off the vitamin A before it has been absorbed by the system. Mineral oil should not be used in salad dressing for this reason, and, under any condition, should be used only on the advice of a physician, usually as a temporary measure only.
When changes occur in the tissues because of vitamin A deficiency, the natural protection against bacteria is removed and the tissues become diseased. An adequate intake of vitamin A–especially in carrot juice-will help overcome infection.
Vitamin A is soluble in fat but not in water. Consequently, surplus vitamin A is not lost in the body fluids, such as urine, perspiration, etc., but is stored for future use. Approximately 958 of all such surplus vitamin A is stored in the liver, with small amounts in the ~dneys, lungs and under the skin.
Your daily requirements
The Food and Nutrition Committee of the National Research Council has established a scale for the minimum daily requirement of vitamin A as follows:
Who Int. Units
Children under 1 year 1500
Children 1 to 12 years 2000 to 3500
Adolescent girls & boys 4500 to 5000
Adults – men and women 5000
Women during pregnancy 6000
Women during nursing period 8000
The above scale is based upon the minimum required to prevent deficiency diseases and does not provide the necessary surplus required for full health.
It is impossible to determine, with any degree of scientific accuracy, what the daily requirement is for any individual under varying physical conditions, and how much of the vitamin A intake the body is able to absorb at any given time due to metabolic conditions or other factors.
The liver is capable of storing large quantities of vitamin A over a period of years to be called upon when needed. In order to keep this surplus at an adequate point, an ample daily intake should be provided. For example, an 8-ounce glass of fresh carrot juice will provide an average of 50,000 or more units of vitamin A. In this form the daily requirements and adds to the surplus accumulated to meet any emergency.
The amount of carotene (which is converted to vitamin A in the liver) contained in carrots is indicated by the depth of the coloring matter. The large, firm, dark-yellow carrots, therefore, should be selected for juicing, rather than the light-yellow ones, because of their greater carotene content. Another vitamin contained in carrot juice is vitamin E. This vitamin appears in three forms, known chemically as alpha-, beta-, and gamma-tocopherol, and commonly known as the vitamin E complex. In animal experimentation, vitamin E has been found to affect reproduction. When foods bearing this vitamin were fed to animals which had failed to reproduce, their sterility was overcome.
Vitamin E and Cancer
Another intensely interesting study being made is the relation of vitamin E to the new growth, or division, of cells necessary to keep the tissues in healthy repair. In laboratory tests, when cancer tissue was placed in a vitamin-E-rich blood serum, the cancer tissue did not grow. When a blood serum lacking vitamin E as used in a similar test, the cancer cells divide normally in the presence of vitamin E. When this vitamin is lacking, healthy cell division does not occur and cancer cells are permitted to grow. Other tests brought out the fact that where experimental animals were fed food rich in vitamin E they resisted cancer, whereas those fed foods lacking this vitamin developed a cancerous condition.
While information at this time is incomplete as to the relation of the vitamin E complex to human nutrition and body processes, it is believed that further experiments will bring some dramatic developments. In the meantime, it is safe to assume that–as with all of the other vitamins–vitamin E complex plays an important part in building vital health. It is a wise precaution, therefore, to include plenty of foods–in the daily diet.
Because of its rich vitamin and mineral content–and other valuable nutrients–the daily diet should be fortified with the protective and healthful benefits of carrot juice. It can be taken alone, or combined with Other fruit (apple) and vegetables juices or even blended with an avocado.
Preparing Carrots for Juicing. Wash carrots thoroughly in cold water, using a stiff vegetable brush. Scrape lightly, but do not peel, as valuable vitamins and minerals lies close to the surface. The juice should be taken immediately it is made, if at all possible. If not, let the juice flow directly into glass jars which should then be covered with screw-on lids. After pouring the quantity to be used immediately, keep the remaining juice-tightly covered–in the refrigerator to prevent loss of vitamin and mineral content through oxidation.
Carrot juice blends with practically all other juices. It is a delicious nourishing beverage for all members of the family at all times and it should be an important part of the diet in cases of illness.
