How to detox part one...

The importance of Detox...Have you ever heard of the saying "Your body is your temple"? Well, it's true. Taking care of your body should be number ONE of your list of things to do. I can't stress this enough...If you don't detox your body you will inevitably end up with major health issues. Toxicosis occurs in the body when a person consumes foods or liquids that are unnatural, processed and loaded with chemicals. These foods are GMO (genetically modified organisms) in other words FRANKENSTEIN FOODS (they are unnatural, highly toxic & most of all the body cannot recognize them as digestible). When products are labeled Organic it means that it has not been contaminated with  pesticides and (or) Herbicides. Yes, CONTAMINATED!!

Pesticides and Herbicides are chemical. Chemicals are poisons when consumed, right? So think about that for just one second... Why would anyone want to eat chemicals? Chemicals are TOXIC to the body...some of you might say REALLY? I've been eating this way and I'm not sick. My answer ....NOT YET! People that live on fast foods or eat foods that are GMO or sprayed with chemicals are slowly breaking down their bodies until one day they end up with some disease, that could have been easily prevented.

Working at a health food store I see it everyday and I am making it my mission to make sure that I don't end up that way. I have customers with painful and horrifying conditions. I am so grateful to be in a position to help and shed some light. It is very heart breaking to see them in pain, confused and desperate because they have tried just about everything including professional/medical advice. It's all worth it to see them again with a smile thanking me. At the end of the day I feel like I'm making a difference and it is conformation that I'm doing the right thing with one person at a time.

Detox Part One; Colon

Always start a detox from the colon up. This is a great way to start any cleansing program because you are clearing the ways of elimination almost like cleaning out the gutters of your house. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in the United States. As colon cancer grows, symptoms may develop.

Common colon cancer symptoms include:

 

• A change in the frequency of bowel movements
• Diarrhea, constipation or feeling that the bowel does not empty completely
• Either bright red or very dark blood in the stool
• Stools that are narrower than usual
• General abdominal discomfort (such as frequent gas pains, bloating, fullness, and/or cramps)
• Weight loss or Weight gain with no known reason
• Constantly feeling tired

It is important to take this seriously and cleanse out the colon. Some people are embarrassed to talk about this subject, it's just poop people no big deal!!...lol Beside we are professionals so just ask... People that work at health food stores across the nation are there to help and talking about poop is normal for us.Any where between seven to fourteen days is the usual amount of time to embark in a colon cleanse. There are ready made kits in your local health food store you can purchase, however, you may also do it yourself with herbs or teas.

Here is a list of herbs or fibers that naturally help to cleanse the colon: 

Buckthorn bark
