I am the author of four published books, including Nutrition – A Practical Approach, and The pH Balance Diet. This is my second ebook, the first being The Spit and Pee Analysis Guide (your guide to analysing the pH of saliva and urine). Just 50 years ago, health problems weren't discussed as openly as they are today. People whispered to each other when discussing the regularity of their bowels and cancer either wasn't mentioned at all or just referred to as 'the big C'. However, these days one of the main topics of conversation is our health - or the seemingly downward spiral of health and well-being in our civilised society – despite our ever increasing knowledge, as we enter the second millennium of the 21st Century. Sit in any public place and you will hear people discussing their cholesterol levels, blood pressure or weight problems, or someone they know who has just been diagnosed with cancer, diabetes, arthritis or many other diseases that are on the increase. But you would have to sit a very long time to hear someone openly talking about their liver. You will be surprised to know that some people don't even know where in their body it is! Mention the word 'detox' however, and everyone will have their own definition of the word. In this short e-book I will outline some of the reasons why people detox, discuss our polluted environment, how you can decrease your toxic load, how to detoxify and revitalise your liver, and give you some recommendations on diet, lifestyle, powerful anti-oxidants and amazing therapeutic Essential Oils that can be taken internally, and explain some of the myths surrounding detoxing I shall take you through the process of how the liver rids the body of harmful substances - it's an amazing organ of the human body – and the need to know its functions and what nutrients it needs for optimal efficiency has never been as important as now. It is a sad fact that alcohol-related liver disease in young people has risen by 50% in a decade. There are, of course, many other types of liver disease where alcohol or drug 3 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph abuse is not the cause, but I believe that if liver disease had as much press as heart disease, then there would be a lot less of it. I am confident that if you follow my recommendations, you will not only enhance the health of your liver, but revitalise every organ in your body. I hope you enjoy the contents of these pages, and that you find them helpful. Suzanne Le Quesne – Dip ION Clinical Nutritionist 4 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph What Exactly is a Detox? So what exactly is a detox? Well a detox is the process of ridding the body of toxins – harmful substances that accumulate in the organs and tissues of the body. New Year is a classic time to detox, or Springtime, when we can 'spring clean' our body, as well as our home. However, your body, mind and emotions tell you when to detox, if you listen to them! Many people's idea of detoxing is simply to eliminate something from their diet for a few days, or a week or two, (alcohol, cigarettes, junk food, dairy food, or stress for example) then resume as they did before. It's something they may do once or twice a year, every year, because they return to their original habits. They don't see it as the start of a possible permanent change to their life, but just as afew days out of it for a general tidy up. But it should be much more than that. A detox, which will have different results for everybody, because we are all biochemically different, can be life changing – it can enhance your life, it can prolong your life and it can save your life! A detox has different stages. A cleansing stage, a balancing stage and a fortifying stage. However, the stages merge together – cleansing does not stop when balancing starts, and cleansing and balancing continue when we start the restorative stage. There is no need to worry which stage you are in. It totally depends on the extent of toxins in the body as to how long each stage will last. You just continue with your detox programme, knowing that the longer you do it, the better the results will be. There are also many reasons why people detox – weight loss, to improve the health of their colon, health in general, or for more energy – but whatever the reason, a detox shouldn't be done lightly and without thought and planning – the body is a complex structure and should be treated with respect. 5 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph Why do people detox? People detox for a variety of reasons but the usual four are: • Detoxing for weight loss • Detoxing for regular Bowel Movements • Detoxing for health • Detoxing for energy Detoxing for Weight Loss You are likely to lose weight when detoxing, partly because, more than likely, the healthy, natural foods you will be eating will contain far less saturated fat and sugar and provide fewer calories, than your non-detox regime. Detoxing for regular Bowel Movements - Another reason people detox is to regulate bowel movements. If you're not usually 'regular', and have to take laxatives to open your bowels once or twice a week (for instance), your colon may be clogged with a hefty waste overload. Until you shift this and spring-clean your large colon, satisfactory weight loss won't happen. You can help the process along, and benefit from longer-lasting weight loss, with the use of certain supplements such as ComforTone which binds, eliminates and gently scours residues from the colon, or psyllium husks - an excellent inner gut 'broom', which help gut balancing and activity by providing helpful bacteria, which every large colon needs! More about these supplements later. Also, by cleansing the digestive tract, it also helps the liver work more efficiently. (ComforTone and psyllium husks are explained under 'supplements' on page 26) Detoxing for health Many people consider a detox to boost their general health - these people are usually pretty fit and healthy already, and have no specific symptoms, and want to keep it that way, so they detox as a preventative measure. Detoxing boosts your immune defence system, strengthening it to deal with the free radicals that are generated in the tissues through stress and other toxins. Catching fewer colds and similar infections (or getting over them more quickly), the more rapid healing of minor injuries (such as scratches, cuts and bruises), more restful sleep, a fresher complexion, and improved vitality, are just a few additional benefits. People also turn to detox to relieve minor conditions. Degenerative problems such as premature ageing (wrinkles and lines), arthritis or poor circulation and 'borderline' diabetes all spring to mind. As detoxing strengthens the immune system people prone to allergic disorders are less prone after doing a short detox. 6 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph Detoxing for energy People also detox to acquire increased energy – and once the toxic load has been reduced, energy levels will increase. Most detox programmes will undergo a series of stages. The first stage is cleansing The cleansing stage encourages the excretory organs (liver, kidneys, gut, lungs and skin) to excrete toxins. The next stage is balancing The object of the balancing stage of detox is to rebalance your body nutritionally. After establishing the cleaning stage you eat the same foods, but with a wider choice and generally more protein. Once the cleansing and balancing are under way, and you have started to incorporate more gentle exercise and relaxation into your life, then the energy begins to flow and you feel great. The last stage is fortifying Once cleansing and balancing are under way then further detoxification fortifies and strengthens the body against further toxins. Good times for detoxing are • weekends - when you have more time to yourself and less work load. • at the change of seasons - especially going into summer, we tend to think of our bodies more and want to shed those extra pounds and improve the appearance of skin. • before a special occasion like a wedding, or a holiday. Planning is very important if you are considering a detox You have decided on a detox - the question is when and where. However enthusiastic you may feel, though, being in the right mood, in the right place, and at the right time is probably more important to your ultimate success than eating the recommended foods and drinking lots of water. 7 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph Having a plan Many people just decide to go on a detox with no plan. The more planned and ready you are, the more successful your detox will be. • Decide what you are going to eat and why! • Decide what you are not going to eat and why! • Look at your sleeping arrangements - during a detox you need sound high-quality sleep • Decide how long your detox will last. • You need a beginning, a middle and a definite end. • Detox durations can be as little as a 24 hour detox, a 3 day detox, a 5 day detox, a one week or a two week detox – the choice is yours. • Its not all about food - decide on tactics to overcome stress • Relaxation techniques • Yoga • Gentle exercise • Identifying your stressors • Decide if you will supplement your detox with supplements • There are two camps where dietary supplements are concerned: one camp proclaims that supplements are a waste of money and sometimes harmful, the other camp recognises the benefits of supplements and recommends them regularly. • I strongly recommend the use of supplements. Supplements are not a waste of money if they improve your health by supporting vital organs and giving the body what diet alone cannot. • However, they may only be beneficial if you take them according to the company's/therapist's instructions, and do so long enough for their benefits to be felt. 8 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph What does your liver actually do? The liver is the biggest and most hard-working organ inside your body and does hundreds of essential jobs, that are vital to life. It can take a lot of abuse, but it is like an elastic band – it can only stretch so far before it breaks. The liver holds about 13 percent of the body's blood supply at any given moment. When it is compromised through disease, or is hindered by stress created through a poor diet and other environmental factors, it will not function optimally. Among its other astounding powers, the liver possesses the ability to regenerate and regain its original size, structure, and function rapidly after partial resection surgery or massive injury. The human liver can fully regenerate from as little as 25 percent of its original tissue. This ability is unique among the major organs. Here are some of the hundreds of functions your liver performs: It processes and eliminates toxins. It moderates chemical levels in the body It fights infection and disease It cleans the blood It controls the amount of cholesterol in the body It processes food once it has been digested It stores vitamins and minerals – iron, copper, Vitamin B12 and the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K • It stores glucose in the form of glycogen and reconverts it when blood glucose levels get low and you need energy. • It processes and eliminates metabolic waste. (metabolic waste is waste that the body makes itself, like dying red blood cells for example). The liver removes dying red blood cells from the blood and converts the hemoglobin to bilirubin and other by-products. These are delivered to the intestine and excreted with the faeces (the iron is recycled). • • • • • • • Liver detoxification works in two phases Phase I - is carried out by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, which involves a two step enzymatic process for the neutralisation of unwanted chemical compounds. This pathway converts a toxic chemical into a less harmful chemical. This is achieved by various chemical reactions (such as oxidation, reduction and hydrolysis) and during this process free radicals are produced which, if excessive, can damage the liver cells. Antioxidants reduce the damage caused by these free radicals. If antioxidants are lacking and toxic exposure is high, toxic chemicals become far more 9 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph dangerous. Some may be converted from relatively harmless substances into potentially carcinogenic (cancer forming) substances. Many nutrients are needed for the Stage I detoxification process to work efficiently. These include many of the B Complex group of vitamins, Vitamin E, the minerals selenium, magnesium, and iron and phytonutrients found in cruciferous vegetables. Quercetin has also been shown to support Phase I detoxification (found in apples, red onions, tea, berries, nuts and seeds). Phase II - is called the conjugation pathway, whereby the liver cells add another substance (eg cysteine, glycine or a sulphur molecule) to a toxic chemical or drug, to render it less harmful. This makes the toxin or drug water soluble, so it can then be excreted from the body via watery fluids such as bile or urine. Individual xenobiotics (a chemical compound such as a drug, pesticide, or carcinogen, that is foreign to a living organism) and metabolites usually follow one or two distinct pathways. There are essentially six phase II detoxification pathways all needing a variety of nutrients. These highly complex reactions, will be compromised if the diet is lacking in variety. The only way to be sure your phase I and phase II detoxification phases are working well (without undergoing LFTs – Liver Function Tests) is to ensure you have a very 10 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph well balanced diet, having a wide variety of food. If you think there is not enough variety in your diet (and most people tend to eat the same things week in, week out!) then there may be a need to take a good multivitamin and mineral. So, very simply, the more anti-nutrients you have, (alcohol, cigarettes, processed foods, chemical exposure etc) your liver has to work harder to render the toxins harmless, which will result in the production of free radicals. The more free radicals you produce, the more antioxidants you need to disarm them. If your diet lacks fruits and vegetables, then Stage I detoxification will be hampered. The less anti-nutrients you have the better therefore, as you will be making less free radicals in the first place. However, the diet still needs to be balanced and have the full range of all the vitamins and minerals, every day. In some people Phase I and Phase II are out of balance. For example if Phase I is more active than Phase II then a build up of free radicals can occur which can led to liver damage or disease. These people are referred to as Pathological Detoxifiers. Pathological Detoxifiers can be identified as those individuals who are highly sensitive to fumes e.g. paints and perfumes, react adversely to various pharmaceutical drugs and may have a reaction to drinking caffeine. Alternatively a liver detoxification test can pinpoint exactly how efficiently your liver is carrying out the detoxification process and if you are a Pathological Detoxifier. 11 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph Our Polluted Environment As already mentioned, going on a detox is not just about what you eat – what you do not eat (or breath or apply to the skin) is just as important. Since the 1950s over 3,500 man-made chemicals have found their way into manufactured food, along with pesticides, antibiotics and hormone residues. Many of these chemicals are anti-nutrients in that they stop nutrients being absorbed and used, or promote their excretion. As our environment becomes more polluted, our bodies have to cope with a greater 'toxic load'. This comes into the body through: • The food we eat (pesticides, herbicides, anti-biotics, artificial colourings and flavourings) • Anti-nutrients (cigarettes, alcohol, fizzy drinks like Coke/Pepsi, household cleaning substances, and chemicals added to our drinking water) • Through our lungs (exhaust fumes, airborne pollens, hair spray) • Through our skin (beauty products, anti-perspirants, perfumes) • Over exposure to sunlight and electrical equipment. When the toxic load rises, the immune system (and the liver) has to work harder to identify and detoxify these pollutants – lowering its efficiency. Some toxins and chemicals can even cause abnormalities in cell growth and reproduction, leading to the development of cancer cells. These are occurring every day, not only through the action of certain environmental pollutants, but also through occasional mistakes being made in normal cellular division. It is the immune system's job to destroy these abnormal cells before they have a chance to proliferate, but if the load is too great, its neutralisation ability is severely strained. Where do we most come into contact with harmful chemicals? In the home! Cleaning materials are one of the most harmful substances to human beings, and we are taking these chemicals into our body on a daily basis, again through the skin and lungs. 12 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph One of the most damaging of all beauty products is hairspray – as it is almost impossible not to breath it in. So when we go on a detoxification programme, it is not just about omitting one food group for a few days, or cutting down or stopping smoking for a week, it is also to think about what we are using in our bathrooms and kitchens as cleaning materials, and to remember that one of the functions of the skin is that of absorption! So if you are thinking about a detox, these harmful substances should also be removed from your daily routine and substituted with less harmful products – of which there are many on the market. The Pesticide problem Just one of the number of man-made chemicals bombarding our bodies are pesticides. Labelling on foods does not tell you everything. Unless you only eat organic, most foods contain traces of pesticides. In fact, the amount of fruit and vegetables consumed by the average person in a year has the equivalent of up to one gallon of pesticides sprayed on it!! Entrance into a field with a caution The field was sprayed with sulphuric acid. According to the PSD (Pesticides Safety Directorate - an Executive Agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, i.e. Defra), the application of sulphuric acid to growing potato plants is carried out because the killing off of potato shoots makes the mechanical lifting of tubers easier. The procedure also induces the 13 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph plant to move more resources to the tubers, which results in a burst of growth prior to harvesting. The first family of pesticides were organo-chlorines. These proved so toxic and nonbiodegradable that most have been banned. They were replaced by organophosphates, of which there are about a hundred types on the market. In the UK alone over £400 million a year is spent on these pesticides. This buys 23.5 tonnes, or 420g per person. Like their ancestors, organo-phosphates are known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to the brain and nervous system. 40% of pesticides now in use have been proved to be cancer-promoting, and linked to birth defects or decreased fertility. Pesticide exposure is associated with depression, memory decline, destablilsation of moods and aggressive outbursts, Parkinson's disease and, according to professor William Rea, asthma, eczema, migraine, irritable bowel syndrome and rhinitis. Excessive exposure is more common than we are led to believe. In 1994 a survey of carrots found that some contained residue levels 25 times higher than the safety limit. In 1995 10% of lettuces were shown to have levels in excess of the safety limits – and these figures are still pretty much the same 16 years later. Here are more tips on how to decrease your environmental load: • Invest in good quality plumbed-in water filter and replace the cartridge every six months. Jug filters are also good, if you replace the cartridge as instructed. • Buy organic. When not possible, wash or peel fruit and vegetables. • Never deep-fry foods, and switch to steam-frying instead or sautéing. • Buy drinks in glass, not plastic, containers or cartons, and recycle them. • Rearrange your daily schedule to minimise time spent in traffic. • Drink alcohol very infrequently, and avoid smoky places. • Avoid medical drugs unless they are the only viable option for treating a health problem. If you get frequent infections or aches, investigate the underlying cause rather than relying on painkillers or antibiotics. 14 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph Strengthen & Promote healthy liver function & Stimulate regeneration of healthy liver cells As mentioned earlier, no two people are the same. We are all biochemically different, and in so being, we all react to foods, drinks, medication, supplements and remedies in a different way. As the saying goes, 'one man's meat is another man's poison'. It is important for you to start to listen to your body – I mean really listen. Often we mistake thirst for hunger for example. Often we blame a food or drink for feeling the way we do, when it is something totally different that warrants the blame. Really take time to listen to your body. It is not a certain food (taken or avoided) herb or nutritional supplement that assists in detoxing or healing you alone - it is your immune system that monitors and protects your body. You must fuel your immune system with what it needs to do the job. Let's take Hepatitis B and C as an extreme example of why you may want to do a detox. Liver cells degenerate in hepatitis B and C in a similar way. The damage done to the liver is actually caused by the reaction of the immune system to the virus. The immune system sends special immune cells (macrophages and Kupffer cells) to the liver to dispose of the virus. However, the virus is able to hide inside the liver cells, and because of this, the virus is able to survive the attack by the immune cells. However, the liver cells themselves are exposed and become the unintended victim. Cirrhosis and cell death could follow. This is an extreme example, but to strengthen and support liver function and to help the regeneration of healthy liver cells, needs the following actions: • • • • proper diet – well balanced and varied the elimination of toxic material boosting the immune system protecting the liver and to undertake these, time and the required dedication are required. 15 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph Decrease your viral load You can start protecting your liver by changing the cleaning materials you are using to clean your house, which will undoubtedly reduce your toxic load immediately. As mentioned earlier, some of the most harmful anti-nutrients we inhale are from the household cleaners we use in our homes. However, this needn't be the case – there are many natural cleaning agents that clean the house in a very effective way. One such cleaner is called Thieves and produced by a company called Young Living. What is Thieves? The story told throughout history tells of a plague that struck parts of Europe during the fifteenth century. A band of thieves, untouched by the plague, began robbing the dead of their valuables. Upon capture, in order to obtain a lighter sentence, the thieves identified themselves as perfumers and spice traders, using mixtures of herbs, spices, and oils to protect themselves from the deadly plague spreading throughout Europe. Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend is based on this historic combination: Clove (Syzygium aromaticum), Lemon (Citrus limon), Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomum verum), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata), and Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis) How does Thieves help? For years, mold was treated with bleach or ozone air cleaners. Now organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Department of Health Services are discouraged from promoting such methods. Instead, studies conducted by Dr. Close indicate that all-natural, organic substances like Thieves essential oil and Thieves Household cleaner are highly effective in killing toxic mold. Thieves Essential Oil Blend - Is a proprietary blend of pure essential oils tested at Weber State University, Ogden, Utah, and found to have a 99.96% effective rate against airborne bacteria. There are many ways to use this therapeutic blend of essential oils – here are a few ideas: 1. Rub diluted on the bottoms of feet for extra protection, especially during winter. 2. Put 2–3 drops on a dryer sheet to freshen laundry. 3. Drop on stubborn adhesives, such as glue and chewing gum, to remove from surfaces. 16 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph 4. Drop 4–5 drops on a tissue and attach to an air vent to freshen a hotel room. 5. Diffuse for 24–48 hours straight to eliminate household mold. Thieves Household Cleaner - contains all-natural ingredients formulated to distribute the power of therapeutic-grade essential oils in your home while killing germs and bacteria. Thieves Household Cleaner solution is a highly concentrated formula that can be used on any surface. Ingredients: Proprietary suspension of safe surfactants (wetting agents) and Thieves Essential Oil Blend. Here are some ways of using the cleaner. 1. Use as a pre-wash spot remover for tough fabric stains. 2. Use diluted as a pre-soak for dirty sportswear. 3. Add a capful when rewashing a forgotten laundry load to eliminate mildew odours. 4. Use diluted to remove grease, food, or pet stains from carpet. 5. Use to remove tough stains on plastic food storage containers. 6. Use undiluted to clean tough areas, such as ovens and rusted metal. 7. Spray diluted on plants with mold. 8. Use to clean stubborn “bathtub ring.” 9. Use to remove hard-water buildup and soap scum. 10. Use to remove fingerprints from stainless steel, glass, mirrors, and other surfaces. By changing your household cleaner to the -Thieves household cleaner, and by using other products in the Thieves range, like toothpaste, mouth wash, soap (liquid and block), sprays, you will be significantly reducing your toxic load and benefiting your liver. Most people don't even consider reducing their toxic load by looking in their bathroom and kitchen cupboards to see how many chemical items there are and replacing them – so I would highly recommend that this is the first step to your detoxification programme. Minimise Medications – if there is a natural product we can take instead of the drug your doctor wants to prescribe you, you should take the natural one (provided your doctor is in agreement – if he or she doesn't like the idea of you taking responsibility for your own health, you are with the wrong doctor!) Doctors today are very busy and tend to focus almost entirely on 'fast to prescribe' drug remedies (magic bullets) to everyday complaints. 17 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph Few doctors know very much about nutrition or alternative remedies so you might have to challenge your him/her! not a pleasant thing to do but certainly good for your health! Always choose lifestyle changes if you can and use medical drugs, wherever possible, as a last resort (especially drugs such as antibiotics). The Thieves range of products from Young Living 18 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph How to detoxify & revitalise your liver As mentioned earlier, the time of the detox will depend on your personal circumstances. I would always recommend you take things slowly – the more gentle you are with your body, the more it will respond. So... The first stage is cleansing The cleansing stage encourages the excretory organs (liver, kidneys, gut, lungs and skin) to excrete toxins. Eliminate: saturated fat, simple sugars, artificial sweeteners and processed foods from the diet – saturated fats are those that are solid at room temperature (butter, margarine, lard), and foods that contain them! biscuits, cakes, sweets, and of course do not cook with them either. These foods are full of liver-damaging compounds, and should be avoided. They will hinder Phase 2 liver detoxification. Eat: as much as you like of organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes, as well as spices such as oregano and basil. These spices are rich in antioxidants that support combating free radical damage. Upon rising – A glass of water with added lemon juice will start your day off well – stimulating and cleansing your liver into action. (for convenience you can use Young Living's therapeutic blend of Lemon Oil – one drop in a large glass of water. Health Note only Young Living essential oils can be ingested internally Drink – filtered or glass bottled water – a minimum of 8-10 glasses a day. Drink – NingXia juice (see page 27) the king of antioxidant drinks. 19 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph The next stage is balancing As mentioned earlier, the object of the balancing stage of detox is to rebalance your body nutritionally. After establishing the cleaning stage you eat the same foods, but with a wider choice and generally more protein. Once the cleansing and balancing are under way, and you have started to incorporate more gentle exercise and relaxation into your life, then the energy begins to flow and you feel great. Eat as above, but include some high class pure protein. Organic eggs, organic chicken or turkey, or cottage cheese. Oily fish is an excellent choice here for protein, but remember you only need a little bit. Maximum protein portion 30g – this good sources of protein is needed for repair and renewal of body cells. Eat foods rich in the B-Complex vitamins such as whole grains like wheat and oats. You can include live yoghurt. Have a variety of green leafy vegetables, don't have the same foods every day. B vitamins play a large role in a healthy metabolism, as well as carrying oxygen throughout your body. The last stage is fortifying Once cleansing and balancing are under way then further detoxification fortifies and strengthens the body against further toxins. As the body adjusts to its new regime, add in some gentle exercise, yoga, or just walking. Nothing too strenuous – be kind to your body. You could also start adding turmeric to your food. Curcumin is the compound that gives turmeric its bright yellow colour and has been shown to stimulate Phase II of liver detoxification. However long you take to do your detox, remember the principals of the balanced diet – which are still adhered to even when doing a detox. 60% of your daily calories coming from carbohydrates 15% of your daily calories coming from pure protein foods 25% of your daily calories coming from polyunsaturated fats (those that are liquid at room temperature) This can be broken down into 15% polyunsaturated and 10% mono-unsaturated (olive oil) which can be used in cooking. After the detox the figures change slightly to: 55 – 60% of your daily calories coming from carbohydrates 15% of your daily calories coming from protein foods 25 – 30% of your daily calories coming from fats - 5 – 10% saturated fats,10% monounsaturated fats, and 10% polyunsaturated 20 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph The health rewards of liver cleansing Can you remember a time when you had boundless energy, when your memory was great and you felt full of vitality? No – what a shame, because this is how you feel when your liver is uncompromised – or when it is working efficiently. Those are the rewards you receive after doing a thorough cleansing and detoxification diet that lasts a minimum of 2 to 3 weeks. Obviously the longer you can maintain the diet, the more cleansing, balancing and fortifying the diet will be. Have you have heard of the term 'sluggish liver' – you don't hear it said much these days – but if your liver is overworked because it is being bombarded with toxins in the forms of anti-oxidants, then it becomes sluggish, and so do you!! The are a few of the health rewards waiting for you – you just feel amazing when you are not clogged up with toxins! Clear mind Full of vitality Great memory Clear skin Bright eyes Good appetite No itchy skin No joint pain 21 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph How to take care of this vital organ We just need to think about it!! our liver that is! Over the past ten years or so we have heard numerous reports about the health of the heart. Advertisements on television, in magazines and newspapers and on food labels often mention 'beneficial for the heart', or 'protects against heart disease'. We all know that exercise is good for us, and in particular for our hearts – and so on. Because we have almost daily reminders of what is good for our heart, we do try to cut down on saturated fats and processed foods, and try to do more exercise – we are 'aware' of what we have to do, eat, etc. But what about our liver?? Well, we just need to adopt the same principals as for heart disease. However, there won't be any television advertisements to remind us, so we have to remind ourselves. Each time you reach for an alcoholic drink, a cleaning product, a beauty product, any medicine, or when you are walking in a busy street, or driving with the windows open, remember that everything you take into your body has to be filtered through your liver – so be kind to it. Say no! to alcohol, and if you do have the occasional alcoholic drink, then imagine your liver working hard to eliminate the alcohol and drink 'still' water in-between to water it down and therefore giving the liver less work to do. Use the damage limitation approach – and choose the healthy/less damaging option whenever possible – as there will always be a healthier, less damaging option! 22 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph Recommendations on diet, lifestyle, powerful antioxidants & amazing therapeutic Essential Oils When undergoing a detoxification programme, the liver will be working even harder than usual, so eating foods, and taking supplements that specifically support the liver, will make your programme even more successful and beneficial. Any fruits and vegetables will help a detoxification diet, but there are some particular ones that help re-build, heal and rejuvenate the liver in particular. Many studies say that even after 75% of the liver has been removed... it can grow back to full form in a very short time! I encourage the use of organic produce whenever possible. It is also very important to wash all fruit and vegetables very well before eating or juicing. 1. Diet There is now an extensive body of evidence indicating that diet plays a crucial role in modifying the body’s detoxification pathways. Even in allopathic medicine grapefruit juice is utilised for transplant patients as grapefruit contains naringenin which slows down Phase I enzyme activity. This enables such drugs as cyclosporin – which is given to prevent organ rejection – to stay in the system for longer prior to the drug being detoxified. Pathological Detoxifiers may also find it useful to include grapefruit juice in their diet. Fruits, vegetables, vitamins, minerals, herbs and spices, are the main foods to eat when on a detoxification programme (they also help to create natural 'interferons' to fight viruses) – up to 60% of your daily calories should be coming from this source. Here are a few of the most important ones, that will also support the liver whilst on your detoxification programme. Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) Vitamin C increases antibody levels, and antibodies are one of the immune system's most direct lines of defence against infectious foreign substances "antigens". When the body is exposed to such an organism, or compound, clones of antibodies are produced against the antigen, which attack and destroy it. There are a variety of 23 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph classes of antibody molecules, with corresponding different functions within the complex immune system. Vitamin C intake results in increased interferon levels, thus taking Vitamin C is a "natural" antiviral treatment. Fruits & Vegetables high in Vitamin C: Artichokes, Asparagus, Avocados, Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower, Corn, Cucumber, Green Pepper, Kale, Lima Beans, Mushrooms, Onions, Peas, Potatoes, Spinach, Squash (winter & summer) Sweet potato, Lemons, Kiwi, Strawberry, Oranges, Blackberries, Cantaloupe melon, Watermelon, Tomatoes, Limes, Peaches, Bananas, Apples, and Grapes. Depletion of vitamin C may also impair the detoxification process; vitamin C also prevents free radical formation. Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits and green leafy vegetables. However, in order to obtain optimum amounts supplementation is required. At least 1000mg a day is recommended. (1g) The B vitamins – play a major role, acting as cofactors for many enzyme systems including those of liver detoxification, therefore ensuring a plentiful supply of the B complex group of vitamins is of prime importance for optimum detoxification. Therefore, including plenty of whole grains which contain B vitamins in the diet as well as taking a good B complex supplement will aid the liver in this crucial role. Vitamin E and selenium are cofactors for glutathione peroxidase activity (Phase II detoxification) as well as being powerful antioxidants. (Vitamin E also works synergistically with vitamin C.) Today, our diets are very low in selenium due to the depletion of the soil of this vital mineral. Supplementation is therefore imperative. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage in the diet have been shown to enhance Phase I activities. It is thought that the indoles which are the active ingredients in these foods are the major contributors to this activity. Zinc is another essential nutrient and acts as a cofactor for many enzyme systems. Zinc deficiency can cause a whole range of consequences. One important role that zinc plays is in the functioning of an enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase involved in the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes in Phase I detoxification. Therefore anyone who drinks alcohol should ensure they have optimum amounts of zinc in their diet. 24 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph Carrots are well known vegetables that are beneficial for the liver. In the treatment of any disease it is important to alkalinise the body, and carrot juice has been demonstrated to rapidly achieve this objective through cleansing of the liver and improving the quality of the blood. It's also effective in correcting chronic infections such as tonsillitis, colitis & appendicitis. It has also been used in the treatment of anaemia, blood poisoning, ulcers, rheumatism, acne and all forms of cancer. Parsley: parsley is very effective in remedying liver disease. It enriches the liver and nourishes the blood. Parsley helps reduce liver congestion, clearing toxins and aiding rejuvenation. Kale an excellent vegetable when detoxing as it eases lung congestion and is beneficial to the stomach, liver and immune system. It contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the eyes from macular degeneration. It also contains indole-3-carbinol, which may protect against colon cancer. Kale is also an excellent source of calcium, iron, vitamins A and C, and chlorophyll. Note: Lutein and zeaxanthin are compounds called xanthophylls (ZAN-thuh-fills), which are yellow pigments that occur naturally in many plants and vegetables. Xanthophills belong to a class of organic compounds called carotenoids, which also includes orange and red plant pigments. Though lutein is considered a yellow pigment, in high concentrations it appears orange-red. Broccoli - Broccoli contains twice the vitamin C of an orange, and has almost as much calcium as whole milk. It contains selenium, a mineral that has been found to have anti-cancer, anti-viral properties, and anti-oxidant properties and is a modest source of vitamins A and E Pineapple. Excellent for eating after a protein meal, as bromelain, the natural protein splitting enzyme contained in pineapple will help digest the protein. Pineapples are also antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. Onions - Onions are an excellent antioxidant, and they contain anti-allergy, antiviral and antihistamine properties. The sulfur compounds in onions help detoxify the body. Onions aid in cellular repair, are a rich source of quercetin, and a potent antioxidant. To obtain the maximum nutritional benefits, onions should be eaten raw or lightly steamed. 25 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph Dandelion Greens and Dandelion Root Dandelion greens are of immense beneficial to digestion and great for detoxing. It's an antiviral that may be useful in the treatment of AIDS and herpes. It may also be useful in treating jaundice, cirrhosis, oedema (due to high blood pressure), gout, eczema and acne. Dandelion is also used to treat and prevent breast and lung tumours and premenstrual bloating. The greens are also high in vitamin A (in the form of the antioxidant carotenoid), Vitamin C, calcium and potassium. Dandelion root contains inulin, which lowers blood sugar in diabetics and has anti-viral properties. Reishi mushrooms TCM – Traditional Chinese Medicine values reishi as the highest ranked medicine. Among 365 species in Seng Nong's Herbal Classic, regarded as the corner stone of TCM, the reishi mushroom is ranked as number one! Reishi is an ancient and revered herb, effective for calming the nervous system, strengthening the blood and cardiovascular system, and supporting the immune system, especially for people who have cancer and are under going western treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In China it is called Ling Chi – the Mushroom of Immortality. Recent medical research has indicated that reishi mushrooms are useful for treating a host of diseases including hepatitis, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, coronary disease, gastric ulcers, stomach ache and migraine. With its ancient heritage, this simple basic superfood, the Reishi mushroom and similar medicinal mushrooms Shiitake and Maitake, appear to have immense potential for human health - and may even hold the key to some of the world's most serious diseases. Milk Thistle/Silymarin: Is a compound that is extracted from Milk Thistle and is considered one of the best herbs for supporting the liver whilst detoxing. Milk Thistle contains a range of phytochemicals (health promoting plant constituents or ingredients) that benefit the liver. The best phytochemicals are bioflavonoids, which are highly active antioxidants found in nature in combination with Vitamin C. One of the problems of laboratory-produced vitamin C is the absence of bioflavonoids - so always look for a natural supplement derived from acerola cherries, rosehips, or gogi berries for example. A good source is silymarin (which has at least 200 times the antioxidant power of Vitamin C). Many studies have shown that silymarin helps protect liver cells when they're attacked by alcohol, medical chemotherapy and even death-cap mushrooms. Milk thistle is a valuable detox aid and a useful tonic if you drink alcohol regularly or lead a toxic 21st century lifestyle with lots of stress. 26 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph This is what milk thistle can do for you: • it stimulates bile secretion, which helps the gallbladder get rid of toxins and bodily wastes • it slows down the entry of toxins into liver cells (this allows the liver to deal with poisons at its own pace instead of becoming overwhelmed by too many all at once) • it boosts levels of glutathione, the liver's own super-oxidant, which mops up free radicals. • It reduces scar tissue formation which follows when the liver is damaged by repeated toxic overloads (this can help if you've suffered from a liver disease such as alcoholic cirrhosis or hepatitis, or one of the many kinds of jaundice). • It encourages the growth of new liver cells to replace damaged ones when you detox (follow this up by living more healthily, by drinking less alcohol, for instance). • I consider a tincture the best method of taking this supplement. Take the recommended dose from the bottle, and add to either water or an antioxidant drink (like NingXia Red – see below) and take daily. When buying milk thistle check the silymarin content. For detox purposes take at least two capsules each containing 120mls silymarin 3 times a day. For liver protection, (which is advisable if you've drunk heavily or lived a toxic lifestyle) take two 120mls capsules twice a day, preferably between meals. Liver function can start to pick up within as little as five days. Milk thistle has very few reported side-effects. The most common is a mild looseness of the bowels. SAFETY NOTE – If you suffer from gallstones, or are currently being treated for an active liver disease, take milk thistle only under the guidance of a medical doctor or qualified medical herbalist. This is because milk thistle stimulates bile secretion, and an increased bile volume may not be desirable in your particular case. Globe Artichoke (vegetable and leaf extract) Globe artichokes are also members of the thistle family (Cynara scolymus) and can make an excellent starter or side dish to a detox meal. Its physically active ingredients include caffeoylquinic acids, a group of compounds more commonly known as 'bitters'. Bitters promote digestion, and contain three potent bioflavonoids - inulin, scolymoside, and taraxasterol. Eating the actual vegetable is excellent, but they can be a little difficult to find. If you were buying in in supplement form you would be looking for Globe Artichoke Leaf extract. This is also an excellent 27 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph supplement that promotes bile formation and secretion - which in turn increases the elimination of toxins and body wastes. The leaf extract also promotes regeneration of new liver cells to replace damaged ones. In my opinion a tincture is by far the best option for this herbal supplement. Other foods that are especially good for rebuilding the liver are: Hemp seeds, hemp seed oil, beetroot tops, beetroots, lemon juice, greens, whole grains (for the important B vitamins) and live bio-yoghurt, organic liver and organic eggs. SAY NO TO GRAPEFRUIT! (unless you have been diagnosed as a Pathological Detoxifiers) It never ceases to amaze me that when people start a loss diet or detox, they immediately think of grapefruit juice! but grapefruit juice can slow the action of the Phase I of the detoxification of the liver, so it's best to avoid this fruit while following a detox programme. The bioflavonoid, narangin found originally in oranges (from the Sanskrit word Naranj meaning orange, and one of the oldest words known) interferes with one of the liver enzymes of the cytochroms P450 series, which you may have heard of because they are important in processing many prescribed drugs. Patients taking medications such as cyclosporine, the cholesterol-lowering statins, Plendil, Seldane, and Propulsid, are warned to stay off grapefruit juice until their course is finished. The cytochrome P450 enzymes work round the clock to neutralise and get rid of toxins, and they are particularly hard pushed when coping with all the extra toxins released during detox. The last thing you need is something interfering with their efficiency, which is why you need to postpone drinking grapefruit juice until your detox is complete. All citrus fruit contain a certain amount of narangin, largely in their pith (the white cheesy part below the skin) but grapefruits alone contain enough narangin to have a metabolic effect. 28 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph 2. Lifestyle When embarking on a detoxification programme, there has to be some lifestyle changes too! If taking supplements is not part of your lifestyle, then I would strongly recommend you change your mind about this. As explained in the chapter Our Polluted Environment, we are surrounded by harsh chemicals that we must protect ourselves against. The food that we eat has far less nutrients in it than it did just 50 years ago, and the only way, in my opinion, that we can give ourselves optimum protection is by taking selective supplements. Here are some selected for the purposes of detoxification and for cleansing and supporting the liver in particular. Other Lifestyle Changes Drink plenty of water – at least 8 - 10 glasses a day, or a minimum of 1 litre. Always choose a good quality mineral water, preferably bought in a glass bottle, or filtered. Eat small, light meals, frequently – so little and often. No alcohol, stimulants (caffeine), or nicotine should be taken Get regular, good quality sleep. Be prepared for 'a healing crises' – where you may feel worse before you feel better. So plan ahead to do your detox when you are at home, or on holiday, or at a time when you can take time out and relax, and give the body time to heal. A little gentle exercise greatly assists a detox programme. Do not do any hard physical exercise – you can do that after the detox programme, and when you are eating more sustaining meals again. 29 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph 3. Powerful antioxidants Fruits and vegetables are full of antioxidants, but sometimes you need an extra boost, especially if the reason for your detox is one of maintaining or improving your health.

Detox corrects the body's pH - Your aim is to be slightly alkaline, above 7 on the pH scale -the optimum state at which food is processed. Rebalancing your body's pH through a detox programme helps your body mobilise and get rid of its toxin-laden fat. Detox is a fad unsupported by scientific evidence Is detox just a fad? Certainly detox is currently newsworthy and popular, but is benefits are very real. I believe that, as a holistic self-help method, detox is here to stay, and offers a much needed break from t he toxic lifestyle nearly inescapable in modern life. Aerobic exercise is vital for detox - Absolutely not! You have to drink twice as much fluid to help your kidneys detox No you don't. In fact if you are already drinking eight to ten glasses of water daily, doubling your intake could prove very harmful! Binge drinking ruins your liver past the point where detox can help Not necessarily. The liver is a resilient and very forgiving organ. Ceasing to drink alcohol and taking a liver-supportive supplement can help to halt and even reverse alcoholic liver damage and even generate the formation of new, healthy liver cells to replace the old and damaged ones. Failing with Diets means you'll never stick with a detox programme Past failure is absolutely no guarantee of future failure. If it was a fad diet, then the diet probably failed you!! Supplements are not necessary for detox - No, you don't HAVE to take them to detox successfully, but supplements and herbal remedies do aid the detox process, increasing toxin elimination and strengthening the immune system. They give you a huge advantage over detoxers who do not take them. Regular detoxing makes it safe to eat, drink and even smoke as before Detoxing removes many toxins from your body through its cleansing action on your liver, kidneys, lungs, gut an skin. But what a waste all your planning and effort simply to replace the toxins by returning to unhealthy habits. Detox is only suitable for youngsters - No, a healthy person of any age, from teens onwards, can map out a programme tailored to their personal needs. 34 Click Here for FREE 'Detox Safely' Reports & The Health Telegraph The Final Word Detox is a positive experience offering amazing benefits, not a punishment for past misdeeds!
