Have you noticed that more and more people, even the younger ones, are falling ill with chronic conditions, cancer or autoimmune conditions? Our body has its weaknesses and it’s not imperfect. Hence, the exposure to environmental toxins can alter our genes, leading to physical disorders.
The immune system is brilliantly constructed to be able to expel toxins with fevers, diarrhea, and vomiting. Yet, if a rather silent toxin is continually exposed to the system, it will lead to an autoimmune condition.
Autoimmune conditions are disorders in which immunity has gone awry, causing the body to turn on itself. The remaining “toxin” continues to alert the immune system.
Many autoimmune conditions are triggered by diet, as sugar, wheat, pesticides, gluten, heavy metals and genetically modified organisms cause distention and eventual pH changes.
Acid blockers like Pepcid, Nexium, Prilosec or diet can raise the pH higher than 3, which stops the release of pepsin. Pepsin is essential for protein breakdown.
These excess proteins leak through the permeable gut wall where it alerts the immune system and are detected as a foreign intruder. At this point, the body revs up immunity and inflammation ensues.
Inflammations are the defense reaction of the body and they are short- term, but they can lead to long- term chronic conditions.
The following are some instances of autoimmune conditions:
Blood-leukemia, lupus, hemolytic conditions
Nerves-diabetic & peripheral neuropathy
Muscles-fibromyalgia, muscular dystrophy
Thyroid-Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease
Brain-MS, autism,
Guillain-Barré syndrome (caused by flu shot or a virus)
Bones-rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, polymyalgia rheumatica
Lungs-Wegener’s granulomatosis, asthma
GI tract/pancreas-Celiacs, IBS, Crohns, ulcerative colitis, diabetes
Skin-eczema, psoriasis, scleroderma, vitiligo
Immunosuppression, or depressing our natural immunity rather than finding the cause can be the answer to these diseases, according to allopathic medicine. Humira or Prednisone is an example. However, it is as counter- intuitive as it sounds.
Namely, in that case, we would hinder our body’s natural response to a foreign intruder, rather than trying to pinpoint that said intruder. Instead of eliminating the issue, we would put a band-aid that causes another side- effects.
Nevertheless, there are completely natural ways and methods which can help you detoxify the entire body and strengthen the immune system in order to prevent diseases of any kind.
Here’s how to detox all body organs and boost your immune system:
Diet
You should not consume wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, processed and fried foods, all kinds of GMO and focus on organic foods only. Many of these foods are not inflammatory in their unprocessed, natural states, but due to refining, pasteurizing and genetic modification, they are now disease- causing.
Therefore, avoid sugar, aspartame, MSG, trans fats, hydrogenated oils like canola or vegetable oil. Also, you should not indulge in excessive caffeine and alcohol.
It would be of help if you keep a food elimination journal.
On the other hand, you should consume healthy fats like coconut, avocado, omega-3’s, olive oil or nuts and seeds, and probiotics. Buy a Berkey filter or reverse osmosis filter to remove birth control, toxins, metals, and fluoride from your tap water. Alkaline diets can be of great help- they are low in sodium and high in potassium foods.
Liver cleanse
In order to pull out toxins, you can use burdock root, dandelion root, milk thistle, beets, Jerusalem artichokes, garlic, turmeric or curcumin, fermented foods, and castor oil packs on the abdomen. The liver cleanse should always contain ornithine. The liver is also supported by some sorts of tea, such as tulsi and dandelion. Lugol’s iodine is also supportive of metabolism and liver detox.
Olive oil cleanse for liver
Drink carrot juice and eat tart green apples for a week, in order to soften your gallstones and to prevent them become dislodged during the detox process. Then, take a shot of olive oil with lemon juice and do a castor oil pack at night.
