In alternative medicine, detoxification is a term for measures that are intended to eliminate toxins and harmful metabolic products and restore the body to its natural, healthy balance.
Scientific medicine does not deny that the body absorbs toxins with food and that toxic intermediate and end products are produced in the metabolism. Such substances are excreted via bile and urine, possibly after transformation in the liver, or are not absorbed in the intestine in the first place.
As long as the organs involved are healthy, supportive measures for these functions are not considered necessary. Disorders of detoxification and excretion are assumed in scientific medicine when the substances in question occur in elevated concentrations in the blood or in other tissues. This is regularly the case with damage to the liver or kidneys, but not regularly for people undergoing an initial detoxification.
Substance deposits as a cause of disease
Scientific medicine recognizes diseases that are caused by deposits of substances in the tissue, e.g. cholesterol and calcium Chemisches Element Ca mit der Ordnungszahl 20, Mineralstoff, der zu den Mengenelementen zählt. Unter den Mineralstoffen ha... in arteriosclerosis, urate crystals in gout or proteins in many neurodegenerative diseases; unfavourable lifestyle and genetic predisposition are considered to be the causes.
There are many symptoms of intoxication: Headaches, sleep disorders and listlessness are the most common signs of intoxication of the body. However, supposedly organic problems of the stomach and intestinal tract as well as weight and skin problems also bear witness to the fact that poisoning has taken place in the body and is usually still ongoing.
Particularly persistent toxins and heavy metals can be stored in the human body and burden our organism.
This often manifests itself through
- Tiredness,
-listlessness or even
-chronic inflammation.
Reason enough, therefore, to support the body in detoxifying and healing at regular intervals.
Detoxing can help
This is where detoxification, as part of a detox cure, helps to rid the body of all kinds of harmful substances – and thus free up capacity to defend itself against other diseases
During a detox/fasting cure, the toxin load in the blood increases because fat-soluble foreign substances that were previously stored harmlessly in the fatty tissue are released again when the fat is broken down. The foul-smelling substances that fasting people excrete after a while are not toxins that have been stored for a long time, but products of the hunger metabolism.
Therapeutic fasting: efficient detoxification
Therapeutic fasting, for example, is the most efficient method for detoxifying, deacidifying and purifying the body in the shortest possible time – it gives you the ideal opportunity to regenerate from the ground up and then glide unencumbered into a new, healthy life free of toxins and toxins.
The duration of the fasting cure is approx. 7-10 days and should be carried out 1-2 times a year (preferably in spring and fall)
- The fasting cure consists of three days of fasting, six full fasting days and then three build-up days
- During the three relief days, the body is already deacidified (with alkaline food, fasting tea, Basosyx tablets and green clay) and acclimatized to the low food intake and increased fluid intake
- The following six full fasting days include little to no intake of solid food, but the intake of vegetable juices, some vegetable broth once a day, bread drink, psyllium, plenty of still mineral water and fasting tea (herbal tea)
- The subsequent three days of recovery (also known as “breaking the fast”) are intended to get the digestive organs used to solid food again and thus prevent biliary colic. They are also intended to facilitate a smooth transition to a conscious, alkaline diet.
Intestinal rehabilitation
Intestinal cleansing is also highly recommended. The importance of regular bowel cleansing becomes particularly clear when you realize that our nutrients are broken down in the bowel and only then can they pass into the blood.
In most people, the intestinal villi, where the breakdown takes place, are heavily mucoused. The intestine cannot do its job optimally and excretes a large proportion of the nutrients it receives unused!
Furthermore, our intestines contain the largest toxic waste dump imaginable in our bodies. These toxins, drug residues and deposits accumulate in our intestinal villi, often remain there for many years or even decades and have an increasingly negative effect on our organism.
Properly drained (with Glauber’s salt and Epsom salts), a colon cleanse is neither disgusting nor unpleasant, let alone painful. In addition to deacidification, detoxification and remineralization, this is one of the best things you can do for your body!
However, particularly persistent toxins and heavy metals can be stored in the human body and burden our organism.
This often manifests itself through
- Tiredness,
-listlessness or even
-chronic inflammation.
Reason enough, therefore, to support the body in detoxifying and healing at regular intervals.
Detox recipes
Recipes that detoxify our body are those that contain the following in particular:
-fresh vegetables
-fresh fruit
-Wholemeal products
-Grain
-fresh herbs
On the Internet you will immediately find a multitude of recipes for food and drinks that have a detoxifying and therefore healing effect. Smoothies and infused water are still very popular, as they are easy to make from fresh ingredients. They are also good for the body.
