Principle 2: Getting Toxins Out

We are all so contaminated that if we were cannibals, our meat

would be banned from human consumption.

— Paula Baillie-Hamilton, M. D.

If you are ill from a non-genetic disease, the truth is that your immune system is not doing its job fighting off pathogens. As we’ve discussed, 90-95% of cancer is caused by toxins overwhelming our immune systems. Many disease conditions, including auto-immune, improve drastically after getting toxins out. If toxins bind to places good things are supposed to bind to, they gum up the works and your body will be out of balance. To let our bodies heal themselves, it is important our detoxification organs (liver, kidneys, lungs, skin) are strong and clean and doing their job. Fat stores toxins, and toxins such as obeseogens can cause us to store excess fat in a vicious cycle. We need to not only avoid toxins, we need to remove the toxins we have accumulated over our lifetime.

We change the oil and filter in our car regularly to keep it running well. When our vacuum cleaner bags or pool filters get full, we empty them out. When you see what comes out, aren’t you glad you did? Why should our bodies be different? We put all sorts of crap into them for years. We are walking bags of accumulated toxins. Doesn’t it make sense that our organ systems could benefit from a good cleansing? That if we routinely cleansed to get all the gunk out of the nooks and crannies, they could work more efficiently and be in a better position to help us withstand toxic treatments and/or to heal?  A proper detox can reset your hormones and restore health.
