Detoxification

As we near the end of the twentieth-century, many doctors, researchers and beauty experts are questioning whether yesterday's progress may be partially to blame for today's disease. Consider the effects white flour, fast food and pesticides have had on the nutritional value of our diets. Add to this the impact of an environment loaded with ever-increasing levels of pollutants. Should these elements result in disease, we often bombard the body with powerful synthetic drugs that do nothing more than suppress unpleasant symptoms. You have probably thought about these issues before, and you may have even taken action to avoid or counteract these toxins. The growing demand for organic, whole foods and purified water is proof that many are concerned. While record numbers of us make efforts to improve our diets and reduce exposure to environmental toxins, we must consider an additional measure we can take to survive and thrive these negative modern conditions. One such measure is a commitment to internal cleansing. First, understand that internal cleansing is an ongoing process in your body. The body encounters toxins from both internal and external sources every minute of every day. Fortunately, components like the liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines, and blood work continuously to clean out every cell, organ and tissue. This internal process keeps us from literally poisoning ourselves. Still, many proponents of internal cleansing believe that the burden of our modern society can and does overwhelm this innate cleansing process.
So why is internal cleansing important for health and beauty? According to medical reports, common symptoms of a body overburdened with toxins includes skin and hair problems, along with a deterioration of health, and an increase in disease. Other doctors and researchers believe that toxicity can result in immune suppression and chronic diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. Among the benefits of internal cleansing are disease prevention and treatment, weight loss, clean skin, improved flexibility and slowed aging.

We clean our home, our office, our car, our kitchen, our bedroom, our shower, our clothes, our mouth, even our external bodies (skin, hair, ect.). When our drain clogs, we clean it out. If our toilet backs up, the problem demands our immediate attention. But do we ever think about cleaning our internal organs.
Environmental toxins include: Polluted air, water and food, pesticides, inorganic fertilizers, toxin elements (paints, glues, cleaning solutions, carpets, bug sprays, ect.) used in the home, office and car. Our bodies are constantly exposed to these environmental toxins, whether they are breathed in or ingested through the skin. Over time, these toxins can build up in the body, settling in the various organs, causing a variety of skin, hair and health problems.

What are the signs and symptoms of a toxic body

Overweight	Constipation	Intestinal bloat/gas	Fatigue	Acne
Insomnia	Allergies	Poor memory	Headaches	Abnormal body odor
Asthma	Coated tongue	Brittle nails and hair	Skin discoloration	Poor digestion
Tension	Nausea	Poor Skin Irritability	Depression	Bad breath
Menstrual problems

The colon is the body's sewage system. If your sewage system stops flowing and back up, poisons and toxins become trapped in your colon. When you don't have one to two good bowel movements per day, toxins ferment and decay in the colon. This old, accumulated matter becomes a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria, which multiply. Blood capillaries lining the colon wall begins to absorb these toxins and poisons into the blood-stream. Because they are fed by the bloodstream, all of the body's tissues and organs (including your skin, hair, and nails) take on toxic substances. This lowers the overall performance of our bodily functions and sets the stage for serious health and beauty problems.

Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum L.)

Common Name: Milk Thistle, Marian Thistle, St. Mary's Thistle
Usage: Helps with liver problems or enlargement. Alcoholic liver disease, drug-induced liver disease, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, multiple chemical sensitivities, industrial toxin exposure, detoxification/cleansing programs. Protects liver from toxic mushroom poisoning. Regenerates liver tissue damaged by hepatitis, cirrhosis, alcoholism, drugs, and environmental toxins. Also helps with fatigue, depression, and food allergies. Research
Usage Warnings: Mild laxative effect in some users.

Milk Thistle has a long history of use in European folk medicine as a liver tonic. Silymarin from Milk Thistle has shown a protective effect against many types of chemical toxins, including alcohol. An extract of Milk Thistle is used to improve liver function, protect against liver damage and enhance regeneration of damaged liver cells. Clinical studies have confirmed the usefulness of standardized Milk Thistle extracts in cases of toxic liver, cirrhosis, and other chronic liver conditions secondary to alcohol abuse.

Additional Information

Milk Thistle prevents free radical damage to liver cells, prevents the formation of leukotrienes and stimulates the production of new liver cells. The liver protects the body from toxic chemicals. Silybin, found in Milk Thistle, protects the liver from environmental toxins entering the body through food, water, air and skin. It also stimulates Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) activity which acts as free radical scavenger more potent than Vitamin E. In the presence of Silibinin, less glutathione is used in the tissue, resulting in a smaller decrease of the glutathione pool. Glutathione reduces free radical activity, not only in the liver, but in cells in the entire body. Milk Thistle inhibits the enzyme, lipoxygenase, preventing the formation of leukotrienes, components responsible for inflammations. It stimulates cell protein production, thereby stimulating liver cell production. Silybinin has no known effects on the liver enzyme system; therefore, it protects the body from damaging effects of pharmaceutical drugs and anesthesia without breaking down drug delivery. Milk Thistle helps protect normal liver function from damage by alcohol, environmental stress, and other substances that may damage liver cells. It provides antioxidant protection and helps regenerate liver cell production.
