The liver is a key organ in your body's self-defense system. It changes, or detoxifies, many harmful substances into forms that your body can safely eliminate. In today's world of processed foods and pollution, toxic substances exist almost everywhere from the food and water you put into your body to the air you breathe. Your body even produces toxins as it processes and converts substances for elimination. When the liver is not in peak health it cannot detoxify substances as rapidly or as completely as it should which results in more toxic substances circulating in the body. These toxins can be stored in fatty body tissue and in the brain and central nervous system cell. Stored toxins may be slowly released into the blood,especially during weight loss contributing to many chronic illnesses. The symptoms and signals of toxicity are many. Some of them are as follows; diarrhea, belching/gas, heartburn, mood swings, depression, fatigue, apathy, lethargy, hyperactivity, blurred vision, dark circles under eyes, headaches, faintness, insomnia, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, poor memory, confusion, poor concentration, slurred speech, gagging, frequent need to clear throat, stuffy nose, hay fever, excessive mucus, acne, body odor, rashes, dry skin, hair loss, excessive weight, compulsive eating, binge eating/drinking, pain in joints, arthritis, stiffness, or chest pain. Many people in America today do suffer to some extent from toxicity. However, nutritional support is available. With a proper cleansing program the body can clear itself of unhealthful toxins and restore the liver so that it may function properly. A cleansing program provides simple, yet specific dietary guidelines in combination with complete and nutritionally balanced supplemental support.

WHAT IS A HEALING CRISIS? When fasting a person need not go through a healing crisis if the livers detoxification pathways are working up to par.  In fact, a healing crisis is not desirable.  Usually oxidative damage is happening during a so called healing crisis. Begin a detoxification program today and follow the instructions closely and faithfully so you can be on your way to vibrant health.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO LIVER DETOXIFICATION ? 
Because we are continually bombarded to numerous toxic substances on a daily basis you should do liver detoxification at the change of every season (every 3 month) to prevent the build-up of potentially carcinogenic substances in our bodies.

A few great books I was just introduced to:

I.) "What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You" by Ray D. Strand, M.D.

Quotes from the aforementioned book: "Physicians are disease- and drug-oriented" -
"Why Aren't More Doctors Responding to Nutrition As I Have?" "In this book, I present only clinical trial study results which is the most effective evidence available. Most of the medical studies I offer here are not from abstract or alternative journals. Instead, I have painstakingly researched mainstream, credible medical journals that the medical community greatly respects, such as the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, British Lancet, and many others."

"Another reason doctors haven't accepted the nutritional supplement idea as good preventive medicine is that most practicing physicians don't fully understand the cause of degenerative diseases. Doctors simply wait until patients develop one of these diseases and then begin to treat it."

Presuppositions Put to the Test
"To be honest, I knew next to nothing about nutrition or nutritional supplementation. In medical school I had not received any significant instruction on the subject. I was not alone. Only approximately 6 percent of the graduating physicians in the United States have any training in nutrition. Medical students may take elective courses on the topic, but few actually do. As I mentioned in the introduction, the education of most physicians is disease-oriented with heavy emphasis on pharmaceuticals - we learn about drugs and why and when to use them."

II.) "The New Detox Diet" by Elson M. Haas, M.D.
Quote: "...I would never have thought or believed that the idea of cleansing and detoxification would become so important in my life and career." It makes perfect sense given the toxic times in which we live where we are exposed to chemicals in our basic elements of water, air, and food, with some extra food pollutants thrown in the mix." "Nowadays the topic of detoxification is a crucial one and most important to the health of many."

DETOX QUESTIONNAIRE

There are specific foods and/or juices in addition to nutritional supplements you can take for detoxification. If you're a busy person who does not want to take the extra time to prepare 5-6 mini meals per day, you can take supplements that can accomplish the same end result.
