Detox Basics

Detoxing your body means getting rid of toxins, chemicals, parasites, fungi, and other harmful substances that are causing health issues and preventing the body from healing itself.

Your body is constantly detoxing on its own.  If you eat cereal, you will digest the nutrients and eliminate the unabsorbed particles. If the cereal contained chemicals, your cells would absorb the chemicals and nutrients from your blood vessels, and your lymphatic system would move them into your kidneys and liver. The kidney and liver would eliminate the toxins through urine and stool.

When toxins and pathogens overwhelm the lymphatic and immune systems, damaged cells start building up in the body. Too many damaged cells can cause problems with vital organs (kidney, liver, pancreas, thyroid, brain, etc.) as well as numerous health conditions.
