Detox flush – Is it really the best option in cleansing your bodily system? In life, lack of knowledge comes at a very high price (and is for sure the number 1 cause of death, it’s not heart disease, trust me). It can easily cost us our most precious commodity, our health! We live in a highly toxic world where our water is undrinkable, our food is poisoned with thousands of chemicals, and our air is polluted. Furthermore, our food is also virtually devoid from any nutrients. As people, we try to compensate for this lack of nutrients by eating much larger quantities; and to make things worse, only few of us exercise regularly and are able to cope with the stresses of life.

Since the start of the Industrial revolution, thousands of new chemicals have been introduced to our environment. These cell-damaging and deadly toxins are invisible and insidious. Like a remorseless killer, they break down all body systems at the cellular level. This process is slow (day by day) and undetectable, UNTIL disease finally signals its presence. The first sign may be a harmless rash OR a deadly cancer!

Some scary statistics…

1. There are currently well over 10,000 different chemicals used in food processing and preservation. The average American is exposed to 50,000 chemical agents in his lifetime and only a small fraction of these have been studied for their effects on humans.
2. Almost 1.5 billion pounds of pesticides are sprayed on wheat and vegetable crops in the US each year; that’s more than 5 pounds per person! According to experts, only 2% of these pesticides actually serve to protect the crops while 98% is absorbed by air, water and the food itself. There are currently well over 1,500 different organophosphate pesticides used in over 50,000 products in North America alone. These pesticides were developed in Nazi Germany in the 1930’s and their chemical agents were used during WWII. Currently, they are classified as weapons of mass destruction and are banned in most nations; except for in the US of course. Another great job of the FDA who’s really looking out for us!
3. There are also another 24.6 million pounds of antibiotics utilized in factory farming per year. A sampling of the average grocery store milk showed the presence of over 80 different antibiotic residues (more about milk later).
4. The average American consumes 150 pounds of sugar and 566 cans of soft drinks (soda or ‘liquid candy fortified with carcinogens and biological warfare chemicals’) each year! What if I also told you that on average we consume 150 slices of pizza, 120 pastries or desserts, 120 orders of French fries, 190 candy bars and 45 large bags of potato chips. Looking at these astonishing numbers it is no surprise that every other American is chronically ill!
5. Oh, I almost forgot! Our pharmaceutical drugs (the ones that are supposed to ‘cure’ us) also contain a fair amount of these harmful and toxic chemicals (additives as well as environmental pollutants).

So, I hope you agree that it is impossible to avoid the constant on-slaughter of toxic waste from every possible angle, but we can sure MINIMIZE this on-slaughter by educating ourselves and being aware of these SILENT KILLERS. We can put a healthy detoxification practice in place to regularly and effectively rid our body from these toxins.

Yours in Optimal Health,
