Personal experience. You can claim detoxing is BS, but until you actually try it and see what it feels like, then you're simply regurgitating opinions. Please state them as such, refrain from saying they are the absolute truth and be willing to see other points of view. It will benefit you in the long run.
Detoxing is just the first step. Do these cleanses and I dare you not to tell me that you feel better than you've ever felt in your life:
Colon cleanse
Full body fat/lymphatic cleanse
Liver/gallbladder cleanse
Kidney/bladder cleanse
Heavy metal cleanse
Parasite cleanse
Candida cleanse
Many other ways to help the process i.e. giving yourself a dry-brush massage each day, full body deep tissue massage, stretching the muscles, sweating with an infrared sauna, fasting...
This will rid your body of toxins that accumulated througout your life from daily living, eating processed foods, drinking & showering in tainted water, breathing pollution etc.
Face it, we live in a toxic environment. People get sick, people get diseases.
The next step is limiting the ingestion of toxic substances. This can include:
eating only organic food, drinking pure water, installing a shower filter, using fluoride-free toothpaste, switching to non-toxic cleaning supplies, getting metal out of your dental work, eliminating aspartame & hydrogenated oils from your diet, not eating pasteurized dairy products, not using nonstick cookware, refraining from using toxic skin-care products, eliminating fluorescent lights & air conditioning, avoiding dry-cleaning, using a vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter, quitting drugs, alchohol, cigarettes.
This will limit (not stop) the ingestion of poisonous substances. Detoxing is an ongoing process and being truly healthy means looking at everything you do in your daily life.
You must reduce stress. Deep-breathing, meditation, excercise, walking. These are but a few stress-reducing activities.
Also: not driving while using a cell phone (driving less is a good idea), laughing, smiling, helping people, having sex, getting out of debt.... great ways to reduce stress.
Then you must address your nutrional deficiencies. (A whole book in itself)
And hey guess what, I'm not trying to sell you anything. It's naive to think that the only reason someone recommends something to you is because they're trying to scam you. If what they're selling doesn't fit into your belief system then of course it's natural to be skeptical.
THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOU COST MONEY.
THINGS THAT ARE BAD FOR YOU COST MONEY.
NEWSFLASH:
EVERYTHING COSTS MONEY.
I was taught by someone who wasn't selling anything, they were looking out for my health and answering my questions as to why I was getting sick and not receiving adequate help from medical 'professionals'.
Since my lifestyle change I haven't been sick, I haven't taken any prescription/non-prescription drugs and I haven't been forced to see a doctor.
I HAVE experienced clarity of mind, increased mental focus, increased amounts of energy, a profound sense of well-being, a functional digestive system, clear skin....the list goes on.
I don't recommend this to everyone.
There are no incurable diseases, only incurable people.
Don't let sick ignorant individuals try to tell you that you can't be healthy, or that you're as healthy as you're ever gonna get.
Peace to all you motherfuckers :D
