Ten Steps to Detoxification
After working with hundreds of people around
the world concerning chemical poisoning, we
developed our Detoxification Program to
remove toxins from body tissues and one
which will restore the nutrients that toxic
by-products destroy inside the body. Modern
medicine has led human beings to the “take a
pill, or cut it out mentality” for almost
every modern health symptom, but this
approach alone cannot cure disease as more
and more people are personally discovering.
If anything, we just keep getting sicker and
more physically tired until our bodies
eventually give in to disease. Curing
illness and degenerative diseases as in
times past might be considered old-fashioned
and ineffective when compared to today’s
high tech standards, but our physical bodies
have not changed over time nor have the
effects of disease, just the magnitude of
modern treatments and the chemicals that
cause illness. It’s essential that human
beings remember that the roots of disease
and their cures are as old-fashioned as the
body itself. This is the basis for our
Detoxification Program.
The most effective way to repair disease
symptoms is by simply removing the
underlying cause-modern man-made chemicals
saturating our food supply, our water
stores, our pharmaceuticals, and our living
environments
Our Detoxification Program not only improves
your health, but also changed your life
forever. You can regain control of your life
through our “Ten Basic Detoxification
Steps.”
If
you begin preventative detoxification
procedures before chemical exposure, then
your body will be prepared to defend its
immune system more efficiently if a chemical
exposure were to occur. Begin a
chemical-free lifestyle today.
The Ten Detoxification Steps:
1. Identify and remove the cause of your
health symptoms
2. Learn to ‘read’ your body. Begin
recording any health changes
3. Get a hair analysis
4. Be happy with yourself
5. Detoxify your body
6. Restore depleted nutrients
7. Exercise and get plenty of rest
8. Eat 75% raw foods at every meal
9. Drink water, water, water
10. Get control of you life
Step One:
Identify and remove the cause of your health
symptoms.
Specifically, remove all chemicals from your
diet and environment immediately. Become
aware of the chemical additives in all your
foods Really KNOW what is going into you
body at all times. Do not cheat yourself.
We
tell people to look for their body’s weakest
link, which is usually a genetic weakness.
This is where toxins within your body will
be “noticed” first because this is the
weakest part of your physical make-up.
Toxins like mercury or radiation will absorb
within your weakest link first, breaking it
down easier. By removing all chemicals from
your diet and environment, you can focus on
strengthening your weaknesses rather than
tearing them down.
Purify your environment as much as possible.
Remove any toxins from both inside and
outside your body. Inspect your house and
place of employment for:
-
Old pipes
-
Leaking insulation
-
Unsafe drinking water
-
Dusty air vents
-
Pesticides
-
Radon
-
Molds
-
Chemicals upstream, or upwind
-
Air quality
-
Toxic metals
-
Leaky power sources
Read food labels
Most people first look at the price of a
food product and then glance to see if it’s
reduced calorie or fat free. Look for the
natural content with the fewest ingredients
instead. Minimize buying processed and
packaged foods. Metals, such as inorganic
aluminum and nickel along with a variety of
toxic chemicals like methanol found in
aspartame, are used in the manufacturing of
foods. No one needs to eat these substances.
The manufacturing and packaging of foods
removes natural vitamins and minerals, too.
Many times, artificial fillers are injected
into foods to stretch profits. “Enrichment”
is not the same to the body as “natural.”
The more pure the food, the fewer the
ingredients.
Additives you want to avoid:
-
Aspartame
-
Autolyzed yeast
-
All food colorings
-
All hydrogenised and partially hydrogenised
oils
-
Calcium caseinate
-
Gelatin
-
Glutamate
-
Glutamic acid
-
Hydrolyzed protein
-
Monopotassium glutamate
-
Monosodium glutamate
-
Sodium caseinate
-
Textured protein
-
Yeast extract
Do
not overindulge, so you would not have to
give up fast and convenient foods
altogether. Just be aware of how much and
how often you “indulge” on them, and try to
minimize the chemicals you are eating. Be
selective about the fast food stops you
make. And choose the better quality in all
food choices. If you want to order a pizza,
for example, order one from an authentic
Italian restaurant that makes their pizzas
fresh with natural ingredients rather than
ordering one from a pervasive food chain
replete with
chemical-processed-assembly-line-food
saturated with chemical preservatives and
lifeless oils.
Step Two:
Learn to read you body and begin recording
any health changes.
Do
you remember the last time you really felt
good? Think about when you first started
feeling ill and when your first health
symptoms occurred. Go backwards in time
day-by-day, month-by-month, or year-by-year
until you can stop at the point when you
started feeling sick. This is where you
start over. You may have been through a
tough emotional time, or you might have been
very ill with a high fever. But were you
drinking diet colas or living downstream
from a factory? So, pick up where you got
off-track and start over at that point.
Aspartame Free
Once you have removed all chemicals from
your diet and environment, and remember to
read all your labels for hidden aspartame
and other food chemicals, begin to notice if
your health symptoms disappear.
We
do not recommend anyone stop their
prescribed medications, but we advised
alternative ways to lessen a dependency on
medications that mask health symptoms rather
then treat the cause of disease.
Take the time to read your body. Learn your
limits, but notice if you have more energy
when detoxing various body chemicals, or if
you sleep better and have better dreams.
Note if you look and feel younger. Do you
have more vigor and are you in better
control of your life? Give yourself
credit-you can control you life again, the
natural way.
Step Three:
Get a hair analysis
As
we discovered through our personal disease
recovery, we could not fight what I could
not see. A hair analysis is the best ‘road
map’ to see a history of what is going on
inside of your body. Drug and chemical
residues within the body remain embedded in
the protein of the hair as it grows. Drugs
such as cocaine and heroin may not be
detected in urine several days after use,
yet these drugs will show up in a hair
analysis months later. Hair has the
advantage of long-term memory. It is a
permanent record, like tree rings. A
three-inch strand of hair will give a
six-month history of what’s going on in the
body since head hair grows at a rate of
about a half an inch a month
I
recommend everyone have at least one hair
analysis in his or her lifetime to ‘see’
what your body is lacking or in need of. A
hair analysis is the highest caliber of
laboratory science a Certified Nutritionist
or Doctor of Natural Medicine can use.
The hair holds an imprint of all vitamin and
mineral levels in the body and reflects
minute levels of toxins deposited in the
tissues. As human beings become more
polluted, a hair analysis can detect
specific toxins that have stored in the
body. It’s a great diagnostic tool. Before
taking any vitamin and mineral supplements,
consult a certified nutritionist for you
specific health needs. Every individual is
different, and a hair analysis can identify
personal nutritional needs. Hair
analysis-the hair provides the best view as
to what is within the body.
Many traditional medical doctors criticize
the hair analysis as not being a respected
diagnostic test for human beings measuring
up to blood tests, urine tests, MRIs or CAT
scans. But we believe their protests are
sourced to their lack of nutritional
education and background needed to interpret
the hair tests properly. The key to any good
lab analysis lies in its interpretation, and
without a thorough background in nutrition
and in the sources of disease, lab tests are
less effective in long term healing. You
might witness this when you go to the doctor
with alarming health symptoms, yet receive
no answers to why you feel sick or
alternative answers when the lab results
show that there’s nothing there. They
prescribe “medications” to help relieve your
symptoms, but do not fix the underlying
problem.
Step Four:
Be
happy with yourself, ask yourself WHY you are using:
-
Sugar-free diet products
-
Alcohol
-
Prescribed and over-the-counter medications
-
Have you had your old mercury fillings
removed
-
How do you protect your health for the long
term in the event of a nuclear attack
-
How long have you been refilling that
prescription without question
-
When did you begin changing your diet from
natural foods to an artificial chemical diet
-
Are you diabetic
-
Do you give sugar-free foods to your
children because you think keeping them off
sugar is better for them
These are important questions. At some
point, anyone who depends on a chemical diet
to solve their nutritional needs must have
some rationale that artificial diets are not
really healthy in the long run. You know
that! If you are diabetic, there are natural
diets and alternative sugar substitutes
others than aspartame or sucrose available
on the market. If your children are
hyperactive, research the amount of fake
fats in their diets, food colorings and
other chemicals they are exposed to, and
determine if they are getting enough
exercise. If you want to lose weight, how
much exercise and rest do you really get
each day?
What underlying issue may be keeping you
from good rationale
Back up and start over on how you perceive
taking care of yourself. Your body is a
tool, and like any instrument needed to
complete a task, you must maintain that tool
properly to keep it functioning efficiently.
Do all you can do to protect your health by
eating a natural and balanced diet beginning
NOW. What goes into your body must be used
to its fullest potential to secure long term
health and wellness.
And read! There is an abundance of
information on nutrition and disease in
public and university libraries dating as
far back in time as you choose to probe.
Good nutrition and emotional wellness is an
art passed down from generation to
generation. The causes of modern diseases
are harder to identify today than ever
before because of the abundance of chemicals
flooding our food supply. As time marches
forward, much information is forgotten. Turn
back time, and remember wisdom from the past
so the future can be filled with peace and
health-and no chemicals.
Step Five:
Detoxify your body
Just as an oil spill pollutes the ocean
killing the sea life within, chemicals
within your body pollute you and damage
healthy cells. Cleaning your body of toxic
foods and environmental poisons is no
different than restoring a polluted
watercourse. The Detoxification Program is a
combination of the finest vitamin
supplements from around the world
orchestrating the perfect tools to remove
environmental and food toxins. Complement
the supplements with a whole foods diet as
wholesome as possible, and minimize buying
packaged food products with ingredient lists
that resemble a chemistry book.
What goes out is just as important as what
goes in. Nutritional diets are polluted with
chemical toxins from manufactured metals,
inoculations, or from your foods, such as
chlorine in sucrose and mercury in tuna, it
is important to remove these toxins as
quickly and as safely as possible Removing
chemicals from the human body is a two-part
process-cleansing from the chemicals
permeating your tissues and eating right.
Give your body a chance to accept healthy
dietary changes by cleansing if first.
Many times, removing toxic foreign chemicals
from the body can be as simple as turning
your diet around. In the case of my Grave’s
Disease, apparently it’s not always so easy.
One of the most common questions I receive
from people wanting to cleanse toxic
chemicals: “How do I remove these chemicals
from my body?” This Ten Step Program!

Step Six:
Restore depleted nutrients
When you walk into a vitamin store, there
are thousands of bottles on the shelf and
out of all those choices, how do you know
what you really need? The hair analysis
specifies exactly which nutrients you are
depleted in, and those are the vitamins to
buy first for your special needs. Some
vitamins are a lower quality these days and
may contain toxic metals as fillers and have
coatings that are hard for the stomach to
digest, so research the various vitamin
manufacturers for the best. Here’s a good
rule of thumb: if you have to break your
vitamins apart with a hammer, they are not a
quality product. Natural supplements should
be breakable with a slight snap between your
fingers.
Food provides all living things with the
basic requirements to furnish energy for
daily activities. Just as a machine burns
gasoline or coal for fuel, the human body
burns food for fuel. It’s as simple as that.
A machine converts its fuel into other forms
of energy; the human body converts food into
body energy. So why eat fake foods filled
with chemicals instead of food bursting with
natural nutrients? Think about this the next
time you see someone sipping a diet cola
while eating a fake-fat-free chunky bar for
lunch or snack. And they wonder why they
feel tired all the time and have health
problems?
Beware of artificial “diets” and diet
programs. Remember this fact: if you lose
one pound of weight by starving yourself and
eating “fake” foods, you actually lose
approximately three-quarters of a pound of
fat and one-quarter pound of lean muscle
mass. However, if you lose one pound of body
weight following a whole foods diet with
regular exercise, you actually lose
approximately one and one-quarter pounds of
fat and gain one-quarter pound of lean
muscle. Lose weight by eating natural foods
and exercising regularly! There’s no such
thing as healthy dieting. Instead, adopt a
healthy lifestyle. Balance your life. Purify
your environment.
Some tips:
-
Lay out a variety of fresh snacks after
school or work. My kids love it, and they
actually eat it!
-
Snack on raw foods every day. Apples,
oranges, and raw nuts in the shell-I don’t
believe animals gain weight from raw,
healthy foods.
-
Eat big meals early in the day. At night,
your body processes what’s left over. Try
not to eat heavy food past five or six
o’clock in the evening.
-
For an evening snack, pop popcorn in
clod-pressed seed oil with a little natural
butter and sea-salt, drink a fruit smoothie,
or enjoy a cup of herbal tea.
Step Seven:
Exercise and get plenty of rest
Where you find diet colas, processed foods,
televisions and computers, stale air and
pollution, you’ll find people gaining weight
and getting sick, and at younger and younger
ages. “Modern” human beings don’t move their
bodies sufficiently enough. Exercise alone
can keep your weight down, yet exercise
shouldn’t require you to join a fancy health
spa and dedicate a half a day to an exercise
program. Exercise means:
Walking or bicycling instead of taking the
car
Climbing the stairs instead of riding the
elevator
Walking the dog after work rather than
sitting in front of the television
Children are running, jumping and playing
less and less as today’s societies become
more intense and technological.
Do
exercise daily. Movement keeps the blood
flowing, Blood carries nutrients and oxygen
to the entire body, delivering life to every
cell. Bodies need to keep moving!
Short bouts of exercise throughout the day
were as effective as one long period in
maintaining weight loss. And eating natural
foods as opposed to fake foods with no
nutrient value is rudimentary to a healthy
exercise program.
And sleep? Sleep is nature’s way of putting
yourself to rest while the body’s immune
system comes in to “clean up” like the
night-shift cleaning crew. Scientists have
determined that after 5:00 P.M. the body is
ready to stop eating and start processing
what it was fed during the day. It can’t do
this with a late night meal, nor without the
body shutting down to rest through sleep.
While you are asleep, the body works to
repair, cleanse, eliminate all the
‘leftovers’, and strengthen the body organs
and organ systems in preparation for the
next day. For example, it has been
determined that at 1:00 A.M.., the liver
begins its daily repair and restoration.
Each body organ and its supportive body
systems take a turn, if you will, so that
the immune system can focus on one specific
organ at a time.
It
takes approximately two hours for each organ
to be dealt with. If you are not asleep, and
even worse if you are eating at this time,
the body can’t do what it needs to do
efficiently. So you wake up tired, your
organs are not rejuvenated, and you may not
have eliminated excess body weight toxins,
or water weight. Your body may now be out of
balance and will take care of this dilemma
the following night. And the cycle begins
again.
Step Eight:
Eat 75% raw foods at every meal
If there’s only time to grab quick
food, keep lost of fresh vegetables, natural
dry cheeses, whole-grain crackers, pickles,
natural yogurts, Tofu, fruits and nuts,
water and fresh juice on hand. You nay have
to shop more often because the “real stuff”
spoils more quickly, but that’s because it’s
loaded with enzymes and live nutrients that
transfer energy to your cells. Raw, steamed,
natural, and fresh! A nutritious quick meal.
Plus, eat all you want. It is difficult to
gain weight eating only natural foods.
Think of your food plate as a “pie”-no, NOT
an apple pie. Seventy-five percent of that
pie should be raw or steamed every meal.
These ‘fundamental’ foods provide all the
digestive enzymes the body needs, as well as
the vitamins and minerals required to
trigger the digestive chain reaction.
Basic nutrition does not need to be as
complicated as food manufacturers and shrewd
marketing departments make it out to be
today. Remember that fat-free this and
sugar-free that and all the modern-day food
fads and diet crazes are really nothing but
marketing campaigns.
Manufactured foods are filled with toxic
fillers and preservatives and have lost
their nutrient content, even though they
claim to have “enriched” the foods by
putting manmade vitamins back in before
packaging. The required daily amounts of
natural vitamins and minerals, amino acids,
necessary sugars and fats, and proteins the
body demands for fuel cannot be obtained
through any source other than raw foods and
natural supplements. Do not fool yourself.
Natural foods supply the fuel needed to stay
healthy, to keep your body moving, and to
stay mentally alert. Food converts into raw
energy. All food passes through the same set
of reactions, whether it’s fast food or a
raw carrot. WHAT the food provides is the
issue. Always try to eat 75% foods rich in
natural nutrients instead of chemical
fillers and toxic by-products.
The natural ability your human body
possesses is on less a miracle to select
substances from the foods you eat required
to build flesh and blood, bones and teeth,
and to regulate the countless processes
driving respiration, circulation,
metabolism, and digestion. Give your body
what it needs to stay healthy-not
sugar-free, fat-free, fake food chemicals,
but 75% of each meal fresh, raw food
bursting with nutrients.
Step Nine:
Drink plenty of water
Water is important in keeping the body
strong. Approximately two-thirds of the
adult human body is water-salt water. Humans
drink fresh water, but we are actually
saline. Simply taste a tear or a bead of
sweat for its salt content. This is one
reason why humans need to drink ample fresh
water every day. It keeps the body’s salt
concentrations low, easing stress on the
kidneys and cardiovascular pathways. Plus,
the average adult eliminates approximately
eight cops of water a day by sweating,
urinating, crying and salivating. It is
essential to replace what is lost. Drinking
lots of water and sweating during exercise
helps eliminate toxins, too. And one thing’s
for sure, if you’ve been drinking diet colas
or iced tea with Equal all day every day,
you have NOT been giving your body enough
water. And if you are exposed to
environmental toxins or radiation, having
your body saturated with water will be
eliminate those toxins more quickly and
efficiently. So get into the habit of
walking around with a bottle of water-all
day long. You’ll have more energy, feel
better and feel full, and flush out toxins
quickly.
Step Ten:
Be
in control of your life
You must not neglect the fact that healing
from a disease of illness takes faith,
personal strength, and perseverance.
Be
impeccable with your word - speak with
integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid
using the word to speak against yourself or
to gossip about others. Use the power of
your word in the direction of truth and
love. Do not take anything personally. What
others say and do is a projection of their
own reality, their own dream. When you are
immune to the opinions and actions of
others, you won’t be the victim of needless
suffering.
Do
not take anything personally. What others
say and do is a projection of their own
reality, their own dream. When you are
immune to the opinions and actions of
others, you won’t be the victim of needless
suffering.
Do
not make assumptions. Find the courage to
ask questions and to expect what you really
want. Communicate with others as clearly as
you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness,
and drama. With just this one agreement, you
can completely transform your life.
Always do your best. Your best is going to
change from moment to moment; it will be
different when you are healthy as opposed to
sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your
best, and you will avoid judgment,
self-abuse, and regret.
As
you recover from any chemical poisoning,
your entire life will change as a result.
You may experience a refreshed emotional
outlook as a positive side effect of your
lifestyle changes.
We
have designed this Ten Step Program to
restore and protect your health and the
health of those you love, and to prevent you
from being seduced by the
multi-trillion-dollar web of chemicals that
mankind has created at your expense.
Removing toxins and manmade chemicals from
your life is merely the first step to
disease recovery. As you experience positive
physical changes, may you also begin a
journey of self-empowerment and lifelong
health.
