The Holistic Approach to Detoxification
Detoxification is an important aspect of healing, prevention, and wellness. Detoxification is important to remove heavy metals, chemicals, and candida from the body. We ingest so many heavy metals, chemicals, and other toxins that lodge in the cells of the body. These toxins are stored in the cells of the body and must be removed through detoxification.
These toxins are ingested through the air, food, water, cleaning products, body products, and drugs. Then they stay in our cells. These toxins trigger chronic diseases and keep the body in a diseased state. Also, processed, packaged, refined, and junk foods, along with meat and dairy products, cause candida growth in the intestines because these foods make the body acidic. An acidic and toxic body leads to candida.
Some of the best natural ways to detoxify the body and remove heavy metals and chemicals lodged in the body’s cells include: warm water with fresh lemon (drink this just a couple of times a day and add a teaspoon or two of Himalayan salt to one of the hot drinks or a cold drink of water and lemon), fresh coriander and parsley, a tea made with fresh coriander and parsley, Himalayan salt (a fully mineralized salt), green tea, a drink made with one to two teaspoons of diatomaceous earth or bentonite clay, activated charcoal supplements, pectin, chlorella and spirulina, chlorophyll, psyllium husks/corn silk, wheatgrass, turmeric, garlic, avocado, beets, broccoli, iodine, digestive enzyme and probiotic supplements, milk thistle, dandelion root supplements, apple cider vinegar, colloidal trace mineral and kidney flush supplements, silver and gold supplements, activated charcoal supplements ivado, water with one to two teaspoons of bentonite clay or diatomaceous earth and minimal colloidal traces
Detoxify your body and your home. Get rid of cleaning fluids, soaps, lotions, shampoos, and other body products that contain chemicals (your skin is porous and will absorb chemicals). Instead, use eco-friendly, organic cleansing and body products.
Most chronic diseases involve candida, a fungus that grows in the colon and lower intestine. In connection with detoxification, rid the colon and lower intestine of candida overgrowth. Candida overgrowth leads to leaky gut syndrome and blocks the body’s ability to absorb necessary nutrients from food and supplements. Candida detoxification is often necessary to reverse chronic disease.
Candida growth is often triggered by antibiotics and toxins in the air, food, and water (which kill both good and bad bacteria in the gut). We need the good bacteria to keep the growth of candida under control. Processed, refined, and junk food and sugar feed candida, and an acidic body (as opposed to an alkaline body) promotes candida growth.
Through detoxification, you will kill the candida in our colon and lower intestine. For at least 4 to 8 weeks: Eat a strict diet of raw, whole, organic vegetables (fresh vegetable salads and juices). Eat lots of vegetables. Sprinkle salads with flaxseeds and chia seeds if desired, or eat the flaxseeds and chia seeds separately. Use oil, vinegar, lemons and limes for the dressing. You can get a lot of protein from a plant-based diet. But, if you feel the need for extra protein and iron, consider taking a protein powder supplement and iron supplements.
This diet eliminates sugar and is alkaline (and not acidic). Avoid all processed, refined and junk food. Avoid sugar. Avoid dairy. Avoid starch, including grains, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams. All of this is sugar or turns into sugar. Candida feeds on sugar. Avoid meat. Meat is acidic and an acidic body allows candida to grow. Avoid all fats except olive oil and coconut oil and whole nut and seed oils.
Drink at least eight eight-ounce glasses of filtered or spring water a day. Drink some of your water with fresh lemon or lime. Take natural antifungal supplements daily, including bee propolis, oregano essential oil, colloidal silver, fresh garlic, grapefruit, grapefruit seed extract, coconut oil, carpylic acid, berberine, olive leaf extract, cider vinegar apple and food-grade hydrogen peroxide diluted in water. It can take weeks or months to get rid of the candida. So be patient.
Plus, detoxify your liver and kidneys with supplements like milk thistle, dandelion root, avocado, avocado seeds, chlorella, spirulina, green leafy vegetables, and molybdenum.
Eat a lot of grapefruit, drink grapefruit juice and eat grapefruit seed and take grapefruit seed extract. Grapefruit kills candida. Additionally, colloidal silver, oregano oil, bee propolis, and food-grade hydrogen peroxide diluted in water kill candida along with black walnut extract supplements, wormwood supplements, and clove supplements.
Repopulate your gut with beneficial bacteria. This helps the body digest and metabolize food and maximize the nutrients your body gets from food. You can repopulate your gut with beneficial bacteria through the use of probiotics and digestive enzymes. These come in supplement form. Fermented foods contain probiotics. These foods include sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha tea, kefir, and coconut water. Many fresh, whole, organic vegetables contain digestive enzymes. Heal leaky gut that may have been caused by candida with the diet prescribed in this article for detoxification and l-glutamine and quercetin supplements. This will help repair the cell wall of the intestines that may have been damaged by leaky gut.
Drink filtered, spring, distilled or well water to reduce your intake of toxins. Toxins damage cells and the immune system and other body systems and cause inflammation and oxidation at the cellular level (leading to chronic disease). Consider making your water more alkaline with an ozone machine. Drink at least eight eight-ounce glasses of spring or filtered water each day. Drink fresh lemon or lime water, drink water with baking soda, and take ionic foot baths to further improve your body’s ph balance.
Avoid processed, packaged, junk, and refined foods, including refined sugar. Avoid or greatly reduce meat and dairy products. If you feel like you need extra protein and iron, use protein powders and iron supplements. Avoid or greatly reduce starch during detoxification.
Follow the exercise program in The Ultimate Prevention and Wellness Program. This exercise program includes daily cardio, light weight lifting, and stretching. It is especially important to walk at least 2 to 3 miles a day at a brisk pace, move and stretch your arms, legs, and body, and lift light weights. Stretch, dance, and do yoga and tai chi.
Stretching and exercise help blood (and oxygen, nutrients, and life force energy) flow freely in your body and all of your cells for repair. Make sure to get your heart rate up on your cardio.
Take deep breaths to maximize oxygen in your body. Take deep, cleansing breaths frequently and make sure your regular breathing is deep and slow. Go outside every day and get plenty of sun, open the windows and circulate fresh air in your home. Put live plants and flowers in your house. All of this will bring more oxygen into your body, which will help the detoxification process.
