Detoxification

Detoxification therapies are increasing in importance and popularity in our culture. Detoxification is broad term for describing the removal of toxicity in the body by way of any number of means. At the core of all detoxification programs is the idea that toxins build up in our bodies and create toxic states that affect health detrimentally and must be removed. Fasting, colonic irrigation, diet restrictions and a number of other means of detoxification are used depending on the toxins, their quantity and effects.

Detoxification therapy is useful for those who have not found solutions for allergies or immune system problems that conventional medicine is unable to diagnose or treat. This includes chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue syndrome, environmental illness, and fibro myalgia.

Detoxification practitioners often attempt to create awareness with patients about toxins in there personal environment. Often people are un aware that they are inadvertently exposing themselves to harmful substances. Therefore the identification, elimination and avoidance of toxic sources is essential to any successful detoxification program.

The problem that exists for humans is the exposure to accumulated toxins found in our food supply. For example, agricultural toxins like cattle dipping chemicals or pesticides and herbicides which are sprayed on grains that are then fed to farm animals. These toxic substances are transmitted all the way through the entire agricultural food chain and delivered for our consumption and a number of ways.

Bioaccumulation of toxic substances over time is said to be responsible for many types of disorders, especially ones that are increasing in growth or severity in a short time, like cancer, or mental illness.
