De-Toxifying Your Experience

http://www.naturalnews.com/019434.html

Good Day Everyone,

Today I'm going to talk to you about detoxifying your life. As I've discussed in past blogs, the cumulative effect of toxins in our lives has made us sick to the breaking point. The most important way this is experienced is in the increased dis-eases in our immune systems. More and more folks are coming up with autoimmune diseases such as MS, fibromyalgia, etc. I am including a link to the book, The Hundred Year Lie, by Randall Fitzgerald, his site as well as a site from an interview with Mr. Fitzgerald in Natural News. Read them both, get the information and take action.

The first place you might notice a weakened immune systems is that you are getting colds and flu easily and they are lasting a longer time. A good cold now and again gives your immune system a good work out. Gets the gang going and pumps up their strengths. But when it takes too long to recover and you find a viral infection going into a bacterial infection and you need antibiotics, your immune system is compromised.

The immune system is the body's natural way of fighting dis-ease. It - the body - knows how to be well. But in these times, after a life time of Western culture and industry and medicine, we are experiencing something that no other culture has before: the build up and cumulative effect of toxins in the body which are weakening our immune systems.

These toxins are everywhere, of course. Toxins are in the water, in the soaps, in the foods, in the cosmetics, in the personal care products, in the upholstery, in the air.

So to begin to give your body and your immune system a break takes some deliberate thought and conscious attention. Take notes and then get busy cleaning up and limiting your exposure.
Toxins are synthetic chemicals that are used in just about everything from your food to your tires to "make life better." We'll skip that part, as it is a useless debate. We're getting sick and having a poorer quality of life as a result of the pervasiveness of these chemicals. Period.

So. First thing you need to do is go through the inventory of the foods you eat and as best you can switch over to organic and certified organic foods. And perhaps the other "first" thing you need to do is stop purchasing and consuming all prepared foods, packaged foods, processed foods as these almost assuredly have chemical preservatives. You want to go to whole, fresh and organic foods as much as possible and where ever possible.

Secondly, you must take an inventory of the personal care products you are using. I can tell you that unless you are using certified organic personal care products you ARE consuming more toxins. The worst of these are the preservatives and enhancers that are formulated into the products. The preservatives, of course, are placed there to give them a longer shelf life and to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria. The enhancers are really dangerous, as they open up the skin pores so that the chemicals can penetrate more deeply, and thus the absorption of the chemicals is more efficient into the body. This makes the product more 'effective'. Say no more.

Thirdly, you must look at the items around you in your environment: fabrics, cleaning products, laundry soap and dryer sheets, carpeting and floor coverings, paint and laminates. Anything NOT 100% natural is comprised of chemical alterations that impart to you and yours - the baby crawling on the floor. A side note here is that using all these anti-bacterial cleaning agents actually diminishes your immune system's ability to fight these bugs. Anti-bacterial soaps and cleaning products like too much antibiotics in the body debilitate your own body's ability to produce the required antibodies to naturally fight off sickness and remain well. Once you enter that abyss of antibiotics to get well, it's a hard road back to relying on your own body to do its job. This is where you will need to consume probiotics.

Fourth, you need to realize that it is the "synergy" of the chemicals that cause the havoc. All these free and loose chemicals coming in from such diverse directions into the body is akin to a chemical lab where there are uncontrolled reactions happening. Chemicals that shouldn't mix are being joined together in your body. For example: drinking a cola and eating Frito's creates benzenes in your body - carcinogens. So it's not just the single chemical from this and that, but the combinations and their reactions with resulting new chemicals within the body, as well.

Fifth, start using your good Common Sense. If it's not natural, it's probably not good for you.
But simply do the very best you can and STOP worrying about it. Just the chemical load that you consciously remove from your experience, your body will reward you with a giant sigh of relief and thanks for lightening the burden. Trust your body, because its natural state is well and balanced. It is always striving to regain that healthful balance. Always.

Sixth, and perhaps most importantly, is to rid your mind of toxic thoughts. Focus yourself on creative and life-giving images, ideas and activities. Cut loose toxic, negative people, news casts, thought forms and experiences. You don't have to consume those things into your mind, either.

Seventh, find trusted suppliers for all your consumptions: food, cosmetics, personal care products, water, clothes, carpet and ideas - including television shows, radio shows and newscasts, love and friendship. If it doesn't FEEL good, it's toxic.

Thanks for reading!
