A cleansing diet, juicing and fasting are methods of ridding the body of toxins. Fasting has the power to detoxify 20th century toxins. Our bodies are more toxic now. We consume more toxic substances today than all generations before us. Our bones have lead 200 times greater compared to bones excavated 2,000 years ago. Our bodies are living cesspools of pesticides, food additives, drug residues and household chemicals. The cells have become filled with dyes, bleaches, antioxidants, chemical flavors, buffers, preservatives, noxious sprays, alkalizers, acidifiers, deodorants, drying agents, moisteners, emulsifiers, expanders, modifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, clarifiers, defoliants, disinfectants, fungicides, anti caking, anti foaming agents, and neutralizers, herbicides, hydrogenators, hydrolyzes, antibiotics, pesticides, synthetic hormones, steroids and over four thousand other drug residues. Food, water, air and even through the mother's milk as a child, there is absorption of thousands of toxins that saturate the environment. During day to day city living, your lungs are filled with 20 million particles of foreign matter such as carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, cadmium, DDT, mercury, PCB's, nitrates, radioactive iodine, x-rays, strontium 90, and thousands more. Billions of internal parasites can be contained in the colon as well as the 7-10 lbs of toxic fecal material on your colon wall. Toxins in the organs cause aging. You can be forty years old with the organs of a ninety year old. Cells are disrupted by toxins and the function of the organs are likewise disrupted. Your body does not work, if your organs do not work. The organs are rid of toxins through fasting. Toxins build up in the brain. If you want to see the effect of toxins in your brain, fast for a few hours, emotions and mental clarity are disrupted; it will cause headaches. The blood that feeds the brain has been overloaded with the sludge of toxic living. The fewer toxins in your brain, the better it works. Cells are the vital structured parts of the human body. The continuous supply of the right balance of nutrients are needed by the body for the cells to be nourished, for optimum performance. We will diminish our optimum performance, if we continue to absorb nutrients with high toxin content. The toxins in the bloodstream brought about by poisons can damage the cells and cause fatality. An effective discovery to detoxify cells, which is also safe and easy, is juice fasting. Juice fasting cleanses the bloodstream from poisons brought about by toxins. A relatively painless process for cleansing the cells is through a juice diet as it requires less digestive effort.
