Autointoxication

Filed under :Chemicals, Cleansing, Digestion, Making healthier choices

Fall is fast approaching!  The kids are in school and cold and flu season are upon us.
Cleansing is a healthy way to give the body an ‘oil change’ to support the immune system and ward off invaders.
NSP’S Tiao He Cleanse and CleanStart programs cleanse the body of toxins and promote healthy immune systems

Autointoxication—A New Angle on Cleansing

Manager Extra  by David Skousen
“Have you ever heard someone say, ‘I feel toxic?’ It’s an old expression and a true one because the person is toxic or poisoned from his or her own body waste.” So say Jennifer Weiss and Vena Burnett in their book, Colon Cleansing—The Best-kept Secret!

The human body is resilient, and it possesses many protective mechanisms that automatically spring into action against poisons in the body. But the constant onslaught of toxic waste can overwhelm even the strongest body.

The Source of Toxins
We all know environmental toxins such as heavy metals and caustic air pollutants surround us. Some of these also pollute our food in the form of pesticides, herbicides and additives. Most people do not realize that in addition to these threats, everyone has the potential of generating his own toxins from natural biological processes. In fact, even the most highly nutritious food must be digested properly or the body may become autointoxicated (self-poisoned). When toxins get into the blood, doctors called this toxemia.

autointoxication  \o-to-in-täk-se-‘ka-shen\ n : a state of being poisoned by toxic substances produced within the body.

Toxins Can Take You Down
The digestive system acts as a miniature chemical factory, extracting nutrients from food. Nutrients are inspected by the liver before being allowed into the bloodstream. Ideally, the liver will also neutralize toxins eaten inadvertently. Thereafter, each cell can easily and safely absorb what it needs.

Several digestive compounds (saliva, enzymes, secretions) work in stages to efficiently break down food particles. But when these digestive elements are in short supply, they cannot properly process a meal, and even the best entrees can ferment and putrefy.

Improperly digested food or backed-up colon waste will continue to break down by means of billions of bacteria waiting to feed on toxic waste. This process creates potent chemicals that irritate the colon and, even worse, enter the bloodstream where they become a hazard to every cell in the body.

To defend itself, the body’s immune system quickly attempts to neutralize these toxic compounds. Other body systems become alert to the danger, adding stress to the kidneys, liver and the lymph system. In some cases, the body may generate a fever, perspiration, vomiting or diarrhea to rid itself of a meal gone bad.

If these toxins are not properly removed, they can wear down the body over time, causing immunity to drop. Various symptoms of toxic overload may appear, including:

· Allergies
· Arthritis
· Asthma
· Bad breath
· Constipation
· Depression
· Fatigue
· Headaches
· Hemorrhoids
· High blood pressure
· Indigestion
· Insomnia
· Nervousness
· Obesity
· Parasites
· Prostate problems
· Rash
· Sinus congestion
· Skin problems
· Varicose veins

Avoiding Autointoxication
Autointoxication due to improper digestion may be safely diffused by making simple changes.
1. Improve your diet to strengthen all of the body’s systems.
2. Reduce stress.
3. Cleanse the intestinal system gently but thoroughly.
4. Rebuild digestive strength with natural supplements to help the body process food more thoroughly.
5. Increase your intake of pure water to help dissolve and flush out toxins.

A recent study carried out at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Wash., revealed that women who drink at least five glasses of water daily were able to lower their risk of colon cancer by 45 percent!

Following this outline can strengthen every cell and benefit the immune, lymph, respiratory and other body systems.

Give Yourself a CleanStart
In addition to improving your lifestyle and eating better, try using the convenient, effective 14-day CleanStart program to safely clear out toxic waste buildup. This remarkable program has already helped thousands to feel the relief of purging hidden colon waste, the seedbed of disease.

Keeping on Keeping On
UltimateBuild is a comprehensive daily program of vitamins, minerals, herbs, antioxidants and fiber. It makes an excellent companion to CleanStart as it helps to minimize further toxic buildup and revitalize the digestive organs. Everyone can benefit by using this daily program regularly.

Benefits of the CleanStart/UltimateBuild Program
• Promotes normal bowel evacuation.
• Benefits the urinary system (another cleansing feature).
• Supports digestion.
• Supports gallbladder function.
• Encourages friendly flora.
• Performs consistently and safely.
• May increase a feeling of wellbeing.
• Increases ability and efficiency of the body’s cells to generate energy.
• Supplies 10 g fiber daily to help reduce risk of cardiovascular disease.

When preparing the CleanStart or UltimateBuild drink mix, use a shaker for best results. A hand-held electric blender also works well. Or, simply pour the powder and juice into a large empty herb bottle with a tight-fitting lid and shake for several seconds.

Diet during the cleanse: No red meat, alcohol, sugar, caffeine, fried food or fast food, no artificial sweetners (stevia is okay). NSP stevia now comes in packets just like the “pink and blue stuff” stock #1381-6).  Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, chicken, fish and turkey, whole grains, rice, beans, eggs are okay too if you like them.  Drink lots of water.  A good rule of thumb is 1/2 of your body weight in ounces of water. To replace coffee try the NSP Herbal beverage stock #1600-1.
