In the more than 25 years that I have been in private practicein cleansing and detoxification, I have seen, experienced, and guided others in many different types of cleansing. In previous issues of Explore! for the Professional, I have focused on colon health and its concerns with Chronic Constipation, Inflamatory Bowel Disorder.Colon Detoxification and Cleansing and Juicing for Detoxification and Cleansing. The focus of this article is to look at cleansing the body: to include blood, lymph, GI tract, liver and colon. There is difference between cleansing and fasting. Cleansing is a means to address systems of the body while focusing on the reduction op the toxic load which are contributing to the sluggishness of that oxygen, gland, or system. Many individuals wish to target the detoxifiction organs (colon and kidney) as well as the liver and gall blader. I certainly think that these needs to be addressed first. However, my question for this articleis this: Don't we want a clean body, nor just clean elimination organs? One would obviously facilitate a clean body. Unfortunately this isn't the case. Heart Disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesityis steadily increasing. In order to remain healthy, we need to also cleanse our bodies. A cleanse does not treat a Medical Condition; however a cleaner body and may experience a change to, alleviation of, or improvement insymptoms to a disease. If we compared our bodies to our cars, how well would our car run if we hadn't changed the oil or flushed out the radiator or had the transmission serveced in our lifetime. A well maintained car runs better than that is "run into the ground". Even though there is a difference between an inanimate object and our bodies have a healing capability , when the body is clean and nousrished properly, isn't it possible th healing mechanismis more resposive. So cleansing heals nothing, however it often sets up the body to be able to do its own healing. To differentiate from a fast, let's look at the differences. Fasting is the elimination of food from the diet for a period of time, sometimes only one day, and another times extended to 40 or more days. It is important to remember that the body has nutritional needs even when it is fasting, therefore, I do not recommend a "water only" fast for more than one day. Certainly, a fast will reduce demands on the gastrointestinal tract, however, it is depriving the body of its needs unless these are provided in some manner, perhaps with dilluted vegetable broths. Almost daily we are being presented with evidence of elevated toxic chemicals in our environment. Doris Rapp MD in her lates book: Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call discusses the damge chemicals have on our bodies, brains, behavior, and sexuality. This is a must read for understanding how far-reaching the chemical toxicity has spread.
