Your Engine’s Schematics

What’s the Big Deal about Toxins?

Toxins act like dirty oil in an engine. They clog and eventually seize your machine. Over time your purring motor starts to make clunkity-clunk sounds.

How come? Chemistry. Your body is a bunch of molecules bonded together to create cells. They create skin. Or organs. Like the liver, the oil filter in your engine. Our livers today get overload not only by Toxins, but also due to our indulgences; smoking (anything), drinking alcohol, drugs (Rx and recreational), and so forth. “The poison is in the dose.” Your body has the ability to filter out toxins, mostly through your liver, but also through your skin (sweating), your lungs (breathing), your kidneys (wee-weeing), your intestines (your poops), your immune system (lymph) and through your blood.

Minor complaints: slight inflammations, lower resistance to illness, yeast infections, sores that don’t heal quickly, fatigue, foggy mind, depression, loss of a sense of well being, slight muscle aches… The list goes on and on, and all the result of toxins. We all suffer from the Toxic Flu: a status that amps up our autoimmune systems to attack our own body, causing diseases like allergies and arthritis.

Now once your body is OVERLOADED, small changes begin to appear. You’re more tired, you look a little haggard, you lost your pick up, you gain a little spare tire, you can’t sleep quite right, you forget things and shhhh… you lost a bit of your SEXY (OMG).

And how are these Toxins or “poisonous substances” sneaking in? Well, as mentioned above, many through over indulgences but mostly through our daily lives in remarkably innocent pleasures, like eating a pesticide coated apple… Yuk!

So Detoxing is basically what it sounds like… a program to rid yourself of these insidious Toxins. Letting your body to do what it does best, clean itself and rev it’s own engine! Like a big tune up. It’s real science. Just check out my resources under Road Maps!

And I’ll tell you a little secret… You will feel the difference. I did.

When I turned forty, I decided I wasn’t going to die young like my parents. You see, my parents both died young from cancer. So, I started going down the conventional road. I listened to doctors prescribed drugs with dozens of side effects. One drug lost its effect after awhile and what does the doc do, changed it to a higher dose. And I thought… Do I want to be held hostage by pharmaceutical companies? I started to look at what these drugs were ACTUALLY doing “to” my body, then I decided to look at alternative methods. Don’t get me wrong, drugs do have a place in medicine. Unfortunately what happens all too often is the drug actually masks the symptoms, rather than treating the underlying issue. For example, you get a cold and take an OTC cold pill. You stop sneezing, but do you really feel better? No, the cold needs to run its course. And the OTC cold pill is actually stopping your lungs from excreting the phlegm it so needs to get rid of. Plus there are the additives… What other harmful chemicals are in that little pill? Ummmm…

As a professional dietitian, I knew how the body metabolizes food. I knew what nutrition could do, but I honestly did not think it was as THAT important! Now, the research continues to prove that. So I started a journey down a long road (and one that I will never get off of) searching for better health. And after my very first Detox, I had more get-and-go than I had for years. I felt fantastic! Beep! Beep! I slept well. I truly tasted my food. I was in a better mood and I even detoxed my closets! But what’s amazing, I changed my drugs to supplements and my high blood pressure and high cholesterol went to normal levels. Beep! Beep! And I can’t receive too many compliments on my shiny new exterior!

So isn’t is time for YOU to have a human oil change? Don’t you want to look and feel fantastic, and prevent degenerative diseases.  Beep! Beep! Start your engines!
