The holidays are pretty tough on most people

But, before we talk purification, we should discuss toxicity. To me toxicity, is any foreign substance in your body that doesn't make it healthy and strong, (basically man-made chemicals).
So here we have a conundrum. We like our modern lives and conveniences, but at the same time, so many of them are shortening our lives and making them less healthy.
In health, you can't solve man-made problems with more man-made solutions.
Cancers, for instance, can be from:
Pesticides and other chemical exposures.
Pharmaceutical drugs (what?)
Processed food
Wireless technologies
Obesity
Stress
Lack of sunshine / and using sunscreens
There are some heavy hitters in there, but we'll focus in the toxicity ones, pesticides, medications, processed foods.
Pesticides are poisons, no matter what you call them, or how you use them. Almost ALL our food is laced with them. Unless you are searching for, and using organic foods and products, you are eating or smearing these chemicals on your body every day.
Is it really possible in America to go totally natural? Sure. Is it likely? Not really, because it is so incredibly difficult. We'll talk about how I deal with this later.
In the book, "The Crazy Makers" the author points out that even baby foods have been found to contain pesticides.
Medications are nothing more than man-made chemicals, that force the body to react a certain way. They were originally based on natural products, but alas, there is no money to be made with natural stuff. They have their place in our world, but real health will never come from medications. It can't.
Oh my nemesis, processed food
It is everywhere, in almost every house, and so ingrained in our lives it doesn't seem unnatural at all. The main problem as it related to toxicity, is the artificial vitamins mixed in to the product. You can always tell a bad product when it says "enriched" in the ingredients list. That means it is full of fake vitamins. (bad for you).
What happens?
So what if your liver is working overtime and getting backed up, and not doing it's job, or can't do a good job of cleaning your body?
Those chemicals have to go some where?
If you can't break them down and get them out, then your body stores them in the fat cells. You can think of your body as the ultimate police officer. When something is out of line, it cracks down. Your body can't have a volitile band of merry chemicals roaming your blood stream.
The best case scenario is to avoid all the chemicals in the first place, but that is pretty hard to do. So, the back-up plan needs to involve keeping the liver tuned up and on full alert, and fully armed to break down the chemicals.
If you took the quiz, had a splurge over the holidays, or just feel like cleaning your body is a good thing, join me this month in doing the purification program. I'll talk more about it next week when I start it. We are also introducing a modified version that will only last a week, instead of three weeks.
For those of you that have been around a while and have done it in the past, the program is 20% of til the end of January. If you haven't done it before, you can still get the discount, but I need to interview you first. You can read more about it here.
