Dr. Mike’s Healthy Lifestyle Advice: Body Toxins
Filed Under: Health & Wellness
Body toxins enter the blood and are carried throughout our circulatory system, affecting every organ and cell. Eventually, our cells and tissues are literally ‘swimming’ in contamination. This constant circulation of toxins taxes the immune system which must continually strive to destroy them. Eventually the body’s own cleansing and detoxification system becomes overburdened.
We know that we have THE POWER to improve our health and well-being; and we have to do it one step at the time! Optimal nutrition is a key factor; how well these nutrients are absorbed by our body is another key factor; and how well and regularly we eliminate our body from waste products and harmful toxins, is yet another vital key!

Any cleansing program should begin in the colon (the last part of the digestive system). The colon’s job is to compact the chime, absorb water, and receive B-vitamins that are produced by healthy intestinal bacteria. One of the world’s most renowned nutritional experts, Dr. Bernard Jensen, PhD. states: “In the 50 years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease; it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems. In treating over 300,000 patients, it is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for FIRST before any effective healing can take place.” When the colon is clean and healthy, we can experience an overall well-being. When the colon is congested with stagnant waste, poisons will back up into our system and pollute the internal environment. This process is also called autointoxication or self-poisoning. That’s why we discussed probiotics, digestive enzymes, and their respective importance earlier in this book!
Besides the use of effective probiotics and digestive enzymes, our body also needs plenty of dietary fiber. Our S.A.D is deficient in plant fibers. Fiber is indispensable in maintaining a healthy colon and will assist in complete, fast and easy bowel movements. Good, quality supplements contain both soluble and insoluble fiber and are formulated to loosen the stool, absorb and eliminate fat and toxins, reduce transit time, and make elimination effortless and complete.
After cleansing the colon, it is just as important to detoxify the liver, kidneys, arteries and every single cell in the body. Drinking plenty of pure water, consuming your ESSENTIAL nutrients daily, and eating SMART are KEY!
Yours in Optimal Health,
