Methods of Body Detoxification Have Been Around for Thousands of Years
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) July 7, 2006
Body detoxification is becoming one of the most intriguing and popular methods of alternative medicine. The basis is that illnesses are most likely caused by toxins building up in the body. Getting rid of these existing toxins and learning how to avoid ingesting new toxins are critical to begin and maintain a process of healing.
There are many conditions that can benefit from detoxification: obesity; depression; diabetes; heart disease; allergies; digestive disorders; and high cholesterol. It can be beneficial for conditions that are influenced by the environment or for exposure to toxic materials at high levels either by accident or on the job site. In cases where traditional medicine is not successful in treating or diagnosing some illnesses, detoxification therapy is useful.
Methods of body detoxification have been around for thousands of years. One of the oldest therapeutic methods used in medicine is fasting. One of the quickest ways to rid the body of stored toxins is in fasting. There are different types of fasts. There are water fasts and there are juice fasts. The type chosen will be determined by the condition of the body and the desired result. For certain conditions a purely water fast is not recommended. Therefore, a juice fast is suggested instead.
As people are becoming more and more enlightened about the condition of the environment and the results it has on the health of the population, the treatment of detoxification is becoming the treatment of choice by many people. The by-products of industry and the pesticides used in agriculture contribute intensely to the amount of pollutants that are resident in the air and water supply in America. It is almost impossible to avoid many of these toxins.
There are a variety of body detoxification therapies available. However, before any are attempted it is recommended that tests be done to determine the cause of the toxic condition. These tests may include blood work, urine and stool sample, and allergy testing. Some will even do a hair analysis to test for heavy metal levels before beginning the regimen of detoxification. It is important to study the liver function because it is the main organ in the body that removes toxic compounds.
Once the analysis is completed, body detoxification therapists will employ a variety of techniques to bring about the desired result. The first effort is to remove the exposure to toxic substances. These can range from heavy metals to radiation from cellphones to smog or polluted water. Dietary changes are put into place immediately that may initially include a detoxification fast.
If rapid detoxification occurs, the body must be closely monitored for signs of distress such as headache, gas, fatigue, or body aches.
