Body Detoxification

Detoxification is a bodily process that either eliminates harmful substances or transforms those harmful substances into less harmful ones.  Our bodies are continually striving to maintain balance, and the organs of detoxification are critical to this balancing act.  Although, some of our systems are more involved in detoxification, every system participates in some way.

• The Digestive system includes the mouth, stomach, liver, small intestine and colon.  This system processes the foods we eat so that nutrients can be distributed to the whole body.  It must also identify toxins so they can be eliminated.  The surface of the GI tract is 200 times greater than our outer skin so it can be a major entry and exit route for toxins.  The liver is the body’s most critical cleansing organ.  It is being challenged with excessive levels of toxins every day.
• The Dermal system (skin) is exposed to heavy metals, medications, pesticides, and other synthetic chemicals that enter and exit the body through the skin.  Sebaceous glands of the skin secrete sebum, which helps the body rid itself of fat-soluble toxins.  When detoxification is not efficient in other systems, toxins can exit through the skin causing rashes, acne, and other conditions.
• The urinary system is made up of the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra.  The bloodstream creates waste products which are excreted through our kidneys.  To do this, the kidneys must distinguish toxins from nutrients as they enter.  Toxins are filtered from the blood and nutrients are returned into the bloodstream.
• The lymphatic system includes the lymph glands, nodes, and vessels.  Lymphatic fluids travel throughout your body along a network of vessels.  Lymph nodes and organs filter harmful organisms and waste products from lymph fluid.
• The respirator system includes the lungs, bronchials, throat, sinuses, and nose.  Breathing helps oxygenate the cells, nourishing them to do their individual detoxification task.  Breathing also expels carbon dioxide, a waste product of bodily process.

Even though our bodies are programmed for health, it is possible to overwhelm our body’s ability to maintain balance.  Our organs were not designed to handle the levels of pollutants that we now encounter on a daily basis.  The constant overload of toxins impedes healthy functioning organs, which break’s down the body’s ability to eliminate poisons.  This lays the foundation for chronic and degenerative diseases.
