My Personal Whole Food Detox

Detox is always a process of eliminating the bad and poisonous items that hinder us from enjoying good health.  The things we need to detox from are poisons that hide in our tissues, organs, or digestive tract.  Their presence in the body causes problems for flare-ups, autoimmune diseases, hidden parasites with their behavior, impurities that the liver is trying to eliminate, heavy metals, hidden infections from the past, and other issues we may not know are there.

We are all different, and have all been exposed to different toxins that we need to get rid of from time to time.  But how do you get rid of them?

Must everyone “Detox” from something?

Must everyone “Detox” from something?

In a nutshell, detoxification is removal of harmful toxins and poisons from your body.

Harmful substances include chemicals, prescription drugs, heavy metals, alcohol overload, refined sugar, hormones, or even overdoses of things we think may help our body.  Even an overload of things we think are ‘good’ can become toxic (eg vitamins, asprin, tylenol, etc).

Remember, your body must eliminate or excrete all the extra if it does not need it, whether it perceives it from a harmful source, or purely overload and excessive.  See the last paragraphs in my post here on balance or homeostasis.

Understanding this fact was life-changing for me, as I thought I just had to pump more and more ‘good’ into my body so it would have enough to work with.  This is not necessarily true.

First, Stop the “Bad”

Is Diarrhea really a Cleansing Reaction?

When your oil light on your car lights up, do you cover it up with duct tape? Do you just remove it? Do you ignore it and hope it will go away?

Of course not. You MUST find the source of the problem. Covering it up or removing it will mean that your car will break down soon, you will face a large repair bill, or possibly having to face the cost of a new car!

Your bowel and colon output is like the indicator light in your car. The big thing you need to know is that your stools are an indicator of what is going on in your body. Your stools can indicate a range from liver stress to parasitic infestation. Dr. Clark’s basic take is that diarrhea is a state of bacterial and parasitic toxicity, which needs immediate attention.

Kill Bowel Bacteria with Black Walnut Tincture

Kill Bowel Bacteria with Black Walnut Tincture

This section of killing bowel bacteria comes from “The Cure for All Diseases” by Dr. Hulda Clark, p. 99-100.  How to eliminate toxicity in the body is what this book is all about, and understanding this small section helps to put one more piece of the “cleansing” puzzle together.

“If you have chronic abdominal problems, make sure you eliminate the bowel contents two or three times a day.  There are herbs that can kill enteric (occurring in the intestines) bacteria . . . Echinacea was a treasured herb of American Indians.  Goldenseal is another favorite.  Turmeric can kill E. coli and some Shigellas.  Fennel can also kill some.  But a single dose of BLACK WALNUT TINCTURE EXTRA STRENGTH seems to do the most.  Make it yourself if possible. (See our post Hulda Clark’s Bowel Program for details on Turmeric, Fennel and Black Walnut Tincture).

What was Hulda Clark’s Diet?

So many people who read Dr. Clark’s books remember the details on what you CANNOT eat, probably because it conflicts with our primarily toxic north American diet.  Sometimes I wonder if we could survive if we could not get all these packaged and processed foods.  Dr. Clark desperately tried to stop our cycle of toxic eating and living, in an effort to reverse disease.

Dr. Clark believed that the two main issues in disease she observed were parasites and toxins. Nutritional deficiency did not seem to be part of it. She said that if the two issues of parasites and toxicity were cleaned up, that people could get well. Their own healing powers within their body would be able to function.

But what DID Dr Clark believe about nutrition?   Did she actually have a diet?

Understanding Detoxification

Detoxification is really a process of cleaning out sludge and garbage in the body, in order to aid healing. Crash detox can be dangerous, but done slowly and carefully, it can really help your body to get better. This article is an excerpt from “From Here To Longevity” by Dr. Mitra Ray, where she encourages us to listen to our body when we eat. She explains that the 2 main areas that benefit from detox are the immune system and the digestive system. And detox takes time. Enjoy this excerpt from Dr. Mitra Ray:
