1. What is involved in Detoxification? Detoxification involves dietary and lifestyle changes which reduce intake of toxins and improve elimination. Avoidance of chemicals, from food or other sources, refined food, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and many drugs helps minimize the toxin load. Those lifestyle changes are a direct result of choices you make in your life. Transcendental meditation has helped me make marked improvements in not only my health and behavior but all aspects of my life. I highly recommend you look into it.

Take Elim-Tox-O instead if you have a Pitta imbalance. 4.Take two tablets of Organic Genitrac morning and evening. This will purify the urinary tract and help flush out toxins through the urine. Even a thin layer of mucoid plaque weakens the body. Nature intended mucoid plaque to be sloughed off. But due to stress and diet, most Americans have many hardened layers of mucoid plaque. The healthy colon weighs about 4 pounds. One autopsy revealed a colon choked with 40 pounds of impacted mucoid plaque! A proper colon cleanse and detoxification program prepares your body for optimal health by removing the mucoid plaque. For more information on the proper colon cleansing, see; http://www.phuketfit.com/cleanse/http://www.phuketfit.com/cleanse/ Begin transitioning to a diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables with very few cooked or processed foods to help keep your digestive system free of mucoid plaque. Regular and easy elimination will be the rule, toxins will not build up and foods will be fully digested and utilized. This optimum nutrition allows rejuvenation and peak vitality. Of course it was a process of years or decades to get the body so full of plaque and toxins, so it will be a process, although faster, to detoxify and get your body pure and back to its highest possible state of health. "Colon cleanse" or "Bowel Cleanse" or "Intestinal Cleanse" or "Intestinal Therapy" are terms referring to a procedure (or a therapy) which has as its main goal having a clean bowel. A real "bowel cleanse" can take from 3 to 4 weeks up to a few months, depending on the person. But don't get discouraged, it's worth it! I detoxed my face and body lotions, eye makeup remover products, hairspray, makeup, self- tanners, etc. and threw away any that contained parabens. Now I only use Barlean’s Organic Coconut Oil to remove my makeup. You can read more about parabens and toxic chemicals in beauty products on my Beauty Detox Page.

2. I detoxed my toothpaste. Now I use Organic Baking Soda or Coconut Oil. I drink lots of fresh organic green juice daily. I eat lots of fresh organic vegetables and healthy fats. I avoid all processed foods, not only those that are high in salt, sugar and preservatives and follow a Low FodMap Diet.
