Detox Your Body

Question: any ways to detox your body without pills or drinks? I have been reading all the ways to detox your body on the internet thru pills and drinks. I was wondering if there were ways out there to do it naturally without taking anything. I would do something like the acai berry products but they all require a credit card to get them even if you just pay shipping and handling, I dont have a credit card so that way is out. Any suggestions other than ask a friend to use their credit card.

Answer: Hi Lisa, I have tried a couple of ways in the past. You can do steamed vegies and boiled brown rice for 5 days only. Drinking water as well of course. And that is it for 5 days, no longer apparently it can be bad for you if you extend the time. 5 days for any detox is the max. Another suggestion is to cut out all processed foods, starches like potatoes, all bread, no spices or salt and pepper and you can do this gradually as well, for example, the first week or every couple of days you can cut out a section of food. For example cheeses and dairy, then the next week can be starches... this is guaranteed to wipe off the kilos. Just remember to drink lots of water. A few guys a know have done a detox from blessedherbs.com and they have raved about it. You do need a credit card for that one though. Good luck with it all, and whenever you feel thats it's getting hard, just think, it only 5 days out of your whole life! Enjoy your day

Question: Is there a homemade way to detox your body overnight or in a short amount of time? I was wondering if there is a way to detox your body overnight that you could make with household items

Answer: There is a method of detoxing the colon that has worked for centuries and was used extensively by many ancient healers. To detox the body, you need to be more specific about what organs, etc. Detoxing is a very good way of relieving the toxic build up that happens in our modern society. The method is called the SALT FLUSH. I have personally experienced this and it is quite effective. I recommend this to people getting a liver/gallbladder flush to free the colon of toxins prior to the dumping of gallbladder stones from the gallbladder and intrahepatic gallstones from the liver. This takes typically 1 to 2 hours. Make a solution of 2 teaspoons of AIR DRIED SEA SALT, not typical table salt in 1 quart of distilled water. Drink it down first thing in the morning. Then lie on your RIGHT side in bed for about 1/2 hour. You will hear some gurgling sounds, but not to worry, it's just working its magic. Then get up and go about your business, but stay close to a toilet. Sorry "GARY" but no one is selling any products here except some very inexpensive salt they will buy at the health food store. Additionally, GARY, you really should investigate the John's Hopkins Research group that discusses intrahepatic gallstones of the liver and how to detox those. I have several patients that have had incredible success in getting those stones and gallbladder stones out of their bodies with olive oil and grapefruit juice along with herbs to prepare the body for the detox of these stones. And yes, the gallbladder and liver functions improved greatly to solve some of their health problems. You do need to free yourself from the lies you believe. EDIT: "GARY" Boy are you wrong this time and only showing either your impossible agenda or complete ignorance. So, John Hopkin's Researchers are wrong now? The jars of stones that measure up to 1" or more that come out of patients doing the flush is wrong and not there? I'd like to have these people do what they do with their doctors that agree with you and show you the stones and then listen to the amazement of doctors that see these things. Hundreds of stones that come out of gallbladders and livers are more than proof. To see the radiance of patient's skin and to see them not have ANY MORE GALLBLADDER ATTACKS after a series of these flushes is more than proof you are wrong! The salt flush causes high blood pressure? Show me ONE study that says salt causes high blood pressure. Then show me ANY study that says a salt flush causes high sodium content in a body. You can't. You really need to get a life and stop making stupid statements and making this feeble attempt to validate your beliefs as if they are science backed. The quack watch is more of a quack group of pseudo scientists making feeble attempts to look credible. I believe the sad thing about all this is you will be doomed to live out your existence as a statistic in your own ignorance and belief's. You do need to free yourself from the lies you believe. good luck to you

Question: What happens when you detox your body? I was talking to someone recently and they mentioned something about detoxing. Why do you detox your body? What is the best way to do it? Will it harm your body?

Answer: A natural body cleanse detox is not something only "unhealthy" people should do. Even with a healthy lifestyle, you should detox your body occasionally because of the daily exposure to a multitude of harmful chemicals and toxins. Various herbs can assist in a total body cleanse. Dandelion and Fennel aid in a natural body cleanse by detoxifying the system, rejuvenating liver functioning and kick-starting the body back to life. Tips When Detoxing Your Body: * First do no harm! A number of body cleanse detox products are ineffective and dangerous. * Drink plenty of water to help detox your body. * Eliminate foods containing toxins and increase your intake of foods containing vitamins and nutrients. Also increase fiber intake. * A natural body cleanse detox starts in the mind. The more mentally prepared you are for your total body cleanse, the greater your chance of success.

Question: Will walking outside barefoot help detox your body? I was watching this add on T.V about detox foot pads. At first I thought it was ridiculous until I started learning about chakra energies. It would make sense that if you always wear socks,...and always wear shoes that your body toxins don't really have anywhere to escape to except in your socks or shoes. Most negative energy including in physical physics (ex. electricity) return to ground. That, for me, is only speculation though. Does anyone know that for sure?

Answer: Those patches you saw on tv are fakes. They contain a certain amount of black tea so that when your feet sweat a dark patch appears on the pad. It's a scam. (try it at home -- take a tea bag (black tea or Earl Grey, for example) and wet it, then let it sit for a few minutes and you will see the dark brown spots) I don't know about detoxing, but certainly walking barefoot would stimulate your senses (based on reflexology); plus it's natural and healthy, not to mention fun.

Question: How can you detox your body at home without having to buy any pills or anything like that? I am in need of a body detox at the present time; does anyone know an easy way of doing this, at home, without having to buy any of those pills or anything like that?

Answer: Flush with water!

Question: Best way to detox your body? I have been reading that a great way to clean your colon, reduce free radicals and increase your energy level is to detox your body from anywhere from 10-14 days. Does anyone know of any great ways to detox and get rid of toxins in your body?

Answer: Your liver is all the detox you need. All those other things are basically gimmicks that throw off your electrolyte balance. Eat healthy and exercise, don't take too many medications or drink too much, and your liver will do just fine detoxing your body. As a further boost, eat yogurt, healthy oils like olive and canola, and artichokes. These are all foods your liver loves. Addition: DQTink--that's just eating a healthy pure diet. That's exactly what I'm talking about. If you don't put crap into your body, your liver is healthy and does all the detoxing for you. And see how great that diet made you feel? You don't need to do crazy fasts or colonic treatments.

Question: What are the best foods to eat to detox your body, to get ready for a diet? I've been on a diet for a while now, and I have not seen any results. I did not detox or cleanse my body before I started. Is that the reason I have failed? Will cleansing my system help with the weight loss?

Answer: I don't know if detoxing your body will help you achieve your dieting goals, but cranberry juice is a good detoxer. Are you exercising as well? One of the key components to losing weight is using more calories than you consume, so that your body has to take the extra needed calories (your body's energy source) from your fat cells. So my suggestion is just eat low calorie food, and exercise a lot. Ride a bike or walk to school or work instead of drive. Go for a jog instead of watch TV. Or find something you enjoy doing that is physically active, for me it is playing sports.. sex is a good (and fun!) form of exercise as well, there is even something called sexercise where you purposely do difficult positions and other things like that to make your sex more of a workout. Look it up. Also, don't expect to lose 20 pounds instantly. Losing weight in a healthy manner is a slow process. If you lose 2 pounds a week your doing darn good! Make a plan and stick to it, you can do it!

Question: What is the best way to detox your body? I'm vegan, but I want to detox my entire body. Any suggestions?

Answer: CAN BE DONE IN THE USA TOO Hydrocolon Therapy - large intestine irrigation - detoxication, and purification of organism. The large intestine plays an important role in the human´s digestive tract. That is the reason why we offer you the possibility to purify this part of your organism by Hydrocolon therapy. This method was introduced in ancient times, and its modern form was developed in the US. Owing to this method we can help you to overcome consequences of unsuitable lifestyle, improper regime, and often impacts from taking modern medicaments, especially antibiotics on intestinal microflora. Why go through hydrocolon Therapy? In curves of large intestines are persistently cumulating food remainders that form culture medium for putrid, and fermentative processes. Yeasts, moulds, and bacteria multiply on these remainders, and disturb natural balance. They also produce increased amounts of toxins (poison) which pass through mucosas, simultaneously are absorbed into blood, and lymphatic systems. In a fundamental manner then weight down the organism, and immune system, and become the reason for an array of medical problems, and illnesses. They as well disturb abilities of intestinal mucosa to absorb significant vitamins, and nutrients. Among frequent complaints that are bound to this process belong for example: Acne, skin diseases, psoriasis, various mould ailments, allergies Overweight, enlarged abdomen, constipation, articulary problems, rheumatism, high blood pressure, pain in the small of the back Headaches, chronic weariness, weakened defensiveness, proneness to illnesses, anemia, bodily odour, bad breath Therapy progress The procedure is carried out in a lying position on the back by professional personnel - skilled nurses, and lasts approximately 45 to 60 minutes. To the client’s intestine is alternately pumped warm and cold water by a tube inserted into the rectum. Uneven temperatures stimulate peristalsis and clean the intestine. Hydrotherapy gently dissolves, and cleanses intestinal contents including toxic wastes, sediment mass, pathogenic micro-organisms, and parasites. Simultaneously activates immune system. Water with dregs is conducted away from the body without you smelling any stench, since the whole system is closed. Clients can observe the irrigated content in a transparent pipe during the procedure. Hydrocolon therapy is perceived pleasant, and creating content feeling. The therapy does not cause any pain or spasms. In certain phases of the procedure appears a feeling of full intestine. Preparation before the therapy One day before the irrigation is appropriate to consume only easily digestible food, for example: yogurt, kefir, puree, fish, pasta, vegetable soup, tea, juice.

Question: What are the best methods to detox your body? What are the best methods to rid your body or parasites, and any other toxins in your organs, skin, etc. that won't effect any meds your taking?

Answer: Go to a Doctor for medication. Home remedies usually do nothing, and a lot of times can actually make the problem worse. If you have a parasitic infection, you need medication to rid your body of the parasite. As far as toxins in your organs, I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean those toxins that build up over time due to just living, don't worry about them. You will find many websites that try to sell detoxifying products but remember those websites are there to make money. Eat a healthy diet, exercise, take some normal multi-vitamins, and have annual checkups with the Doctor to help stay healthy.

Question: what are some good healthy ways to detox your body? I am on a mission to lose weight and I want to detox my body of all the unhealthy stufff that I have been eating over the past year. I have started out only drinking water. I just need some good advice and please I will not consider diet pills. thanks! What kinds of foods, drinks, anything else would be helpful as well!

Answer: First, if you really believe that unhealthy food you ate a year ago is still in your body in ANY form except fat cells, you're mistaken. The body doesn't "Hold onto" bad food and it certainly doesn't get clogged up. If you really want to detox your body, continue with what naturally happens: Drink water and add fiber to your diet. Water flushes the body anyway, it's God's detox. Fiber helps clean the colon and the intestines and the stomach. Our bodies were made to handle those two ingredients in the cleansing process. You don't need a special program and you don't need to starve yourself or fast to be healthy. You need to keep eating and drink more water. Good luck!

Question: Does fasting for a day really help detox your body? I was on alot of meds for an illness for a long time. I'd like to cleanse my body of chemicals. I've changed my diet to organic food & purchased a Detox tea. Would a day of fasting help?

Answer: I went on a 10 day fast once where I just drank milk. I was experimenting, and chose milk because it still has some protein and calcium, and is not all sugar like fruit juice. Because I did not want to starve myself, I figured I would allow my self to drink as much milk as I wanted, and supplement it with a multi-vitamin. It was difficult, but I never felt hungry, or tired for lack of food. I exorcised some, but nothing special. After the 10 days of strict fasting, my metabolism reset, I had much more energy, felt far less junk food cravings... before the fast I drank a lot of coffee, and had aquired a sort of immunity to the effects of caffine... but that was reset too. (Not sure why, but it was nice) So in the end... after a little exocise in will power, I felt much healthier... and lost some weight in the process.

Question: What's a great way to detox your body? I am headed to Las Vegas for New Year's Eve this year and I'd like to detox my body and shed a couple of pounds before I go. Does anyone have any tips on great detox and weight-loss programs for a short period of time? Not looking to spend a great deal of money either. Mainly, just want to "feel" better if you know what I mean. Thanks!

Answer: There is are "detox" blends of tea available from various brands, such as Yogi Tea and Celestial Seasonings. These are usually available in the organic foods section of many grocery stores, if not just in the tea aisle. They have a taste which is rather difficult to acquire... But, if you can make yourself drink a whole cup about an hour before lunch, and an hour before dinner, it helps a lot. If you can't get used to the dandelion-root & chamomile flavour of the detox teas, any other kind of tea will serve a similar purpose, just not quite so completely. Also, don't eat your biggest meal of the day at the end of it - have a big breakfast or lunch, but take it easy for dinner. Eat your last large meal at least four hours before you become totally sedentary for the evening (either sleeping or watching T.V.), and drink lots and lots and lots of water. Yes, it will make you pee, but remind yourself that's a Good Thing. One solid month of discipline will make your New Year resolution a breeze to keep!

Question: Is niacin a safe way to detox your body? I've heard from several sorces that taking niacin is a safe and easy way to detox the body in a short period of time....some say to include cranberry extract...is any of this true/reliable?

Answer: yes and yes, but if you take niacin be ready for the side effects like a very uncomfortable albeit brief rash all over the body and an extreme heat flash. it goes away in like 15 min though. But this will not be a full detox.

Question: What is the easiest way to detox your body is there a quick and easy way for me to detox my body.

Answer: First, lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to your healing process. Also, minimize use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives. Another deterrent to good health is stress, which triggers your body to release stress hormones into your system. While these hormones can provide the "adrenaline rush" to win a race or meet a deadline, in large amounts they create toxins and slow down detoxification enzymes in the liver. So it's a good idea to detox stressful life situations along with detoxifying your body. Yoga and meditation are simple and effective ways to relieve stress by resetting your physical and mental reactions to the inevitable stress life will bring. Also 1. Eat plenty of fiber, including brown rice and organically-grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Beets, radishes, artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, spirulina, chlorella, and seaweed are excellent detoxifying foods. 2. Cleanse and protect the liver by taking herbs such as dandelion root, burdock and milk thistle, and drinking green tea. 3. Take vitamin C, which helps the body produce glutathione, a liver compound that drives away toxins. 4. Drink at least 2 quarts of water daily. 5. Breathe deeply to allow oxygen to circulate more completely through your system. 6. Transform stress by emphasizing positive emotions. 7. Practice hydrotherapy by taking a very hot shower for five minutes, allowing the water to run on your back. Follow with cold water for 30 seconds. Do this three times, and then get into bed for 30 minutes. 8. Sweat in a sauna so your body can eliminate wastes through perspiration. 9. Dry-brush your skin or try detoxifying patches or detox foot spas / foot baths to remove toxins through your pores. Special brushes are available at natural products stores. 10. What is the most important way to detoxify? "Exercise," says Bennett. "Yoga or jump-roping are good. One hour every day." Also try qigong, a martial-arts based exercise system that includes exercises specifically for detoxifying or cleansing, as well as many other exercises with specific health benefits.
