Body Detox in Treating Disease and Cancer

Some conventional medical providers deny that a person's body can be toxic. Many alternative medical providers use detoxification as their primary consideration in treating disease. Detoxification includes the removal of stored toxic products from the bowel, the blood, liver, and kidneys plus the great amount of toxic substances stored in body fat. Any change from a poor diet to a healthy one is detoxifying. Those who go on a raw food diet experience dramatic detoxification. The principle method discussed here is the detoxification brought about by a diet plan that provides only fresh vegetable juices for a period. Usually this 'juice fast' as it is called will last for a few days or weeks. This process may be carried out for a month or more with great continuing benefits.

It is best but not necessary to have a juice fast monitored by a professional such as an nutritionist. This is a person who has been trained in the elements of this kind of treatment and is not what we would ordinarily call a dietitian whose training consists of the typical food pyramid. A nutritionist will adapt a fasting program to the abilities and needs of the patient, as some patients cannot  sustain the rigors of a program that produces the fastest results. They may adjust the program so the process is slower and still remain in the context of the purpose of the fast for detoxifying the body. During a juice fast, it is important to absolutely abstain from some foods. Even one serving of these restricted foods can stop the detoxification process for a while, so it is important to have good understanding or supervision if the fast will be carried out successfully.

Other detoxification considerations are specific treatments taken by mouth which provide cleansing of the colon, the blood, and the kidneys. Also the lungs and the skin are major organs of elimination. Exercise in the fresh air and sunshine are very helpful to the process, as is drinking enough water. Perhaps half of the practitioners also include a coffee enema to stimulate the liver into healthy function. This is an important consideration, because the liver is the 'toxic waste dump' of the body and it must function well in order to perform the many complicated chemical conversion processes necessary to reduce toxins to a condition that they can be eliminated.

Exposure to industrial solvents and other industrial chemicals can be stored 'forever' in the body, causing the degradation of health and vitality and predisposing the patient to disease. Also, many beauty products such as permanent waving chemicals and hair coloring materials can be very toxic and cancer causing. The ingestion of heavy metals such as mercury from fish and dental fillings, and peeling lead based paint are common toxic materials found in our bodies. Heavy metals are removed by a process called chelation (key-lay'-shun) which can either be administered through an intravenous drip or by taken  by mouth. There is much argument regarding which is the more effective. Oral chelation is much less efficient in getting the EDTA (ethelenediaminetetraacedtic acid) into the blood stream, wasting most of it in the elimination, but it is also much less expensive. Considering the convenience of taking a pill costing a few cents as compared to sitting under an IV bag for an hour for each of, perhaps 30 treatments at about $100 each, oral chelation seems to be a good choice. However, there is much argument on both sides, depending upon who has what to sell.

In summary; detoxification is an important process for the overcoming of chronic disease such as cancer and the process has many facets, all of which should be considered in a well rounded, comprehensive, and efficient treatment plan.
