By Ron Trevor, R.P.Hom At one time in history, the human body completely cleansed itself of unwanted toxins and substances. However, with a dramatic increase in toxins added to our food, water, air, the body has become overloaded. This overload makes it difficult for the body to purify itself from all the poisons that may eventually manifest them self in many forms of sickness and disease.
Our bodies are prone to all sorts of toxins and poisons. For instance, the air we breathe contains all sorts of chemicals (carbon dioxide etc.) that may potentially destroy our lungs. The foods we eat are full of pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizer and so on. These can have alarming effects on the entire organism including the liver, kidneys, and colon.
To combat this barrage of poisons, many people in the natural health field are supplementing their diets with natural detoxification products. These products are our bodies friends. They help to assist in the bodies own process of elimination and stimulate greater health and well-being.
In the war against accumulated toxins, are a wide variety of herbs, clay, vitamins, and homeopathy believed to effect a wide range of body poisons. The following is an abbreviated guide to natural remedies used in cleaning the body as well as a short description on the different effects each supplement has on the body.
MONTMORILLONITE CLAYThe use of Montmorillonite clay internally is incredible. When you know what the clay does and what it contains, eating it dosen?t seem so strange after all. First, the mineral content, particularily of calcium, iron, gold, silica plus and the trace minerals is impressive. Second clay is considered to be the greatest toxin eliminator in the world! It absorbs poisons from the intestine without removing vitamins from the intestinal tract. In fact, it actually enhances or expands their potency. It will even enhance enrich the blood stream as well as cleanse it. Rymond Dextriet, author of OUR EARTH, OUR CURE, says, ?In casos of organic disorders its intense activity destroys unhealthy cells and activates the rebuilding of healthy ones?It not only cures diarrhea and constipation, it acts on all the organs ?on the whole organism.
