Great Health Practices

Because of the competitive and interfering interactions of toxins, it’s crucial to minimize exposure to heavy metal and other toxins and support the body’s ability to detoxify.

Nothing you do to be healthy is more important than your efforts to be clean inside and free of toxins.

Toxins in the Human Body Are Like Filth in a Fishbowl

Anyone who has ever had fish knows that if you don't regularly clean the fish bowl it becomes filthy and the fish die. So, if you want dead fish, just don't clean the fish bowl.

Likewise, your cells cannot thrive if the fluids of your body are filled with toxins and just like fish will die way too soon.

The constant degradation of cellular health from toxic damage removes decades of lifespan and healthspan potential.

So, both for fish bowls or human bodies, we need to keep the internal environment clean. Trying to be healthy while living in internal toxicity doesn't work. Below are the some of the best practices for getting those toxins out of you. You should be doing as many as you can.

Toxins Are Inflam­matory

Toxins damage cells and tissues resulting in chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation gives rise to pain, joint stiffness, damaged skin, and diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, and autoimmune disorders. The accumulation of inflammatory damage ultimately kills us regardless how nutritious is our food or what other good health practices we have.

 

Important Practices for Avoiding Toxins

Protecting yourself from modern toxins involves a multi-layered approach, as they can be present in air, food, water, personal care products, and household items. Here are effective steps to reduce your exposure to toxins and thus protect your health:

1. Choose Organic food when possible in order to avoid pesticide toxins. Non-organic food often contains significant amounts of pesticides which are very difficult to remove from the body.
   • Organic foods are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, reducing your exposure to these toxins.
   • Although, non-organic foods normally only have pesticide residues within "safe" limits, they do build up in the body to unsafe levels over time.
   • Studies do show that organic produce has significantly lower levels of pesticide residues.
   
   

2. Avoid processed foods which often have large amounts of chemical additives. In general, eat food the way it came from mother nature, rather than highly processed food.
   • Processed food almost always has added sugar, unhealthy fat, and salt. That alone is enough to avoid it.
   • Processed food almost always has artificial additives and preservatives to improve taste and shelf life. But these accumulate in the body and become toxic.
   • Processed food is designed to taste better than "real food" and entice people to eat too much, creating an unhealthy cycle of overeating.

3. Improve indoor air quality:
   • If possible, upgrade your furnace system so that you can utilize today's most efficient filters in your furnace/air conditioner, such as HEPA or MERV 13 or higher-rated filters to reduce particulates and chemicals from the air - so you don't breathe in so many toxins.
   • If that is not possible, consider stand-alone air purifiers with activated carbon and HEPA filters to remove particles, smoke, and chemical pollutants, especially if you live in an area with poor air quality.
   • Periodically, ventilate regularly: Open windows and use exhaust fans to reduce indoor pollutants.

4. Filter your water: Utilize water filtration devices to remove chlorine, fluorine, BPAS, PFAS, and hydrocarbons from the water you drink. These accumulate and most never get out of the body once they get it.
   • Municipal water has lead, pesticides, herbicides and numerous industrial chemicals.
   • Municipal water has microplastics that never leave the body they get inside.
   • Municipal water has PFAs (and they never leave the body)
   • Municipal water has pathogens.

5. Avoid plastic around food or water: Chemicals like BPA or microplastics from plastic bottles can leach into drinking water. Use BPA free alternatives or stainless steel or glass bottles instead. Never cook or heat food in plastic. Switch it to glass or stainless steel before cooking.
   • Plastic containers contain BPAs and phthalates that are endocrine and hormone disrupt ors.
   • These harmful elements leach out faster when heated.
   • Even microwave plastics that are "rated as safe" release low levels that accumulate over time.
   • Studies show that these chemicals weaken the immune system.
   • Better alternatives are glass, stainless steel, and ceramic.

Inasmuch as it is impossible to avoid toxins and inasmuch as toxins are affecting us all, here are powerful ways to cleanse toxins out of your body, IE, Detox or Detofiy!

1. The single most important thing for detoxifying the body is to boost liver function. That's because the liver is the master detoxifying organ of the body. We recommend the following foods to help boost liver function:

   • Lemonade - lemons help the liver and boost bile production. The very healthiest lemonade is to juice lemons, rind, seeds, pulp, and all, add to a pint of water, add add some allulose or monk fruit to taste. Drink this alone or as part of a protein (or E7, or WIN shake)
   • Beets - beets also boost liver activity and bile production. Beets also boost production of glutathione, the master detoxifying antioxidant/hormone of the body.
   • Carrots - also boost liver activity and bile production.
   • Liver boosting supplements: Cleanzyme, Milk Thistle Complex, and Liquid Curcumin.


2. It is virtually impossible to find something more important in regard to having a detoxified body than maintaining optimum amounts of antioxidants in the cells and fluid of one's body. Unfortunately, Glutathione levels decrease in human beings from age 23 until death by nearly 2 percent a year (see graph).
   • Glutathione is an antioxidant and thiol (grabs toxins wherever it finds them) and is the body's chief endogenous antioxidant. Glutathione is used in every cell of the body and especially in the body's chief organ of detoxification, the liver.

     So, supplementing with Glutathione boosters is a key practice for staying healthy. Glutathione is a Phase II detoxifier. It binds with toxins and take them out of the body via the urine. It binds with other antioxidants. Studies have found that centenarians — people who live to be 100 or older have much higher levels of glutathione than their peers.

     • We recommend one particularly supplement above the rest because of its composition patent and proven ability to increase glutathione levels by up to four times previous levels. It is called Original Glutathione Forma (OGF).
     • We also recommend SwishЗо for its sub-lingual absorption of Glutathione.
   • Vitamin C comes right after Glutathione as being the next most important antioxidant. We recommend 5,000 grams per day as a target for the average person to consume. That's fifty times higher than the official RDA (of course, the RDA is not targeting optimal health, just prevention of disease conditioins).

     We particularly recommend these Vitamin C products:

     • Buffered Vitamin C
     • Cardio Pro


3. Doing an Eight Day Cleanse two to four times per year is a great way to detoxify the body. The Eight Day Cleanse utilizes numerous synergistic products to help clear the body of many types of toxins, parasites, and pathogens while removing mucoidal plaque from intestinal linings. This Cleanse was designed by Dr. William R. Kellas for his patients at the Center for Advanced Medicine in Encinitas California. It was fine-tuned with tens of thousands of patient results.

   Doing an Eight Day Cleanse is like changing dirty water for clean water in your fishbowl (speaking of your body as the fishbowl). The Cleanse is one of the best ways to quickly dissolve mucoidal plaque from the gastrointestinal system. Clean bowels are super beneficial to long term health. If the bowels aren't clean the bloodstream is constantly toxified. The Eight Day Cleanse utilizes Paragon and Silver Biotics to destroy parasites and pathogens and E7 to quench free radicals. In just eight days a person goes from filthy to much cleaner internally.

   
   
   


4. Another top recommendation for getting toxins out of the body is sweating (via sauna or exercise). Sweating is a safe way for most people to detoxify and be cleaner internally. Sweating causes toxins to leave cells and go out of the body via the sweat glands. That means that those toxins don't have to go through the liver and kidneys to get out of the body, thus avoiding exit damage to the kidneys and liver.

   A Finish study showed that people who sweat profusely three to five times a week outlive those who don't (2,000 person study). And they have less incidence of disease. Check out our Relax Far Infrared Sauna information. The benefits of sweating are too good to ignore.

   We recommend purchasing a Relax Fir Sauna and doing three 40 minute saunas per week.
   
   

5. Eating anthocyanin antioxidants found in raw purple foods or PXP Royale (a powerful concentration of anthocyanins) is a great health practice. Anthocyanins are extremely potent and one of the few antioxidants that is capable of directly and immediately neutralizing the powerful Hydroxyl free radical that are so damaging to health and longevity. They also cross the blood brain barrier to combat free radicals in the brain. They enhance the potency of other antioxidants such as Vitamin C.

   At a recent Anti-Aging exposition, those who were taking PXP Royale were among those who had no free radical damage (very rare).

   
   
   


6. Eating Iodine rich foods such as seaweed or oysters (shown to the right), or supplementing with Oyster Max or with Magnascent Iodine is important to staying detoxified and healthy. 96% of Americans are deficient in Iodine. Iodine is important for detoxification, primarily through its critical role in supporting thyroid function to increase mitochondrial energy output. It takes energy to detoxify. Without enough iodine, therefore, your body will function like someone who is too tired to clean up the house after a long day's work.

   
   
   


7. Eating Magnesium rich foods such as pumpkin seeds, chard, spinach, dark chocolate, kale, almonds, avocado, tofu, quinoa, flaxseed, salmon, etc. (shown to the right), or supplementing with ACE Ormus is important to staying detoxified and healthy. 75% of Americans are deficient in Magnesium. Like Iodine, Magnesium is important for detoxification, primarily through its role in increasing mitochondrial energy output. It takes energy to detoxify. Without enough magnesium, therefore, the cells don't have extra energy to devote to detoxification.

   
   
   

8. Eating Sulfur rich foods or consuming a sulfur supplement helps to improve detoxification rates. Great sulfur sources include onions, garlic, leeks, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, eggs, or Organic Sulfur powder. Sulfur helps in these ways:
   • Sulfur increases synthesis of glutathione in the cells. Glutathione is a premier detoxifier of the body.
   • Sulfur directly binds to toxins, so that they can be excreted in the urine or bile.
   • Sulfur is essential to liver health (the master organ for detoxification) and is used by the liver to make other detoxifying compounds such as methionine and cytosine.
   • Sulfur especially binds to heavy metals to reduce their toxic effect in the body.
   • Sulfur boosts bile production which improves digestion of foods. Incompletely digested foods are a big source of toxicity in the body.
   So, choose to eat sulfur rich foods or supplement with our powerful Organic Sulfur
   
   

9. Eating Choline rich foods or supplements helps to improve detoxification rates. Great choline sources include egg yolks, beef liver, chicken liver, fish, tofu, quinoa, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, etc. Choline helps in these ways:
   • Choline helps increases methylation. Methyl groups detoxify harmful substances, especially homocysteine, and improve gene regulation and repair after damage.
   • Choline helps improve liver health, especially helping one to not have a fatty liver so that toxins can be optimally excreted in the urine or bile.
   • Choline helps cells to detoxify and maintain integral, well-functioning cell membranes.
   
   
   


10. Eat all of your daily allotment of food during a 5 to 11 hour window each day and do not eat any closer than three hours to bed time. This enables the body to do better housekeeping and removal of toxins.

    The reason is that limiting the time when the gastrointestinal tract has to be working frees up considerable amounts of energy that is otherwise using in metabolizing food. This energy can be diverted to detoxify and repair the cells of the body.

    Interestingly, limiting the time for eating is the only absolutely sure-fire method that will always (in every case) increase lifespan of test animals by nearly double.

    So, choose a period of time in which you will eat, such as from 6 AM to Noon or 1PM to 7PM each day. There is nothing special when this window of time is. The eating window could be longer such as eating from 5 AM to 12 Noon or 6 am to 4pm. The maximum window should be 11 hours and the minimum window should be at least five hours. Eating should not occur closer than three hours to bedtime. You can drink water and non-calorie containing such as tea during the time of day when you aren't eating.

    
    
    


11. Multi-day water fasting (up to 50 days) is one of the quickest ways to detoxify the body. Note that quickest isn't always the best.

    The reason that water fasting works so well to detoxify the body is that the body totally freaks out (in a good way) about the loss of incoming calories and searches the body for any calorie sources that can be burned to make energy. In this scavenging for calories process the body will choose to dismantle fat storage first (where many toxins are stored) so that the fatty acids can be burned for energy. The stored toxins are released during this process and can be excreted from the body. If one fasts long enough, stored toxins will be thoroughly cleansed from the body.

    Warning: Fasting can be very difficult. We recommend warming up to a long term fast (40 days or more) by starting with a 24 hour fast. Later on, one can do a 72 hour fast. We then recommend a 10-day fast, then a 20-day fast, and finally a 40 or 50 day fast. Be sure to have a physical exam, inform your medical professional of your intention. Join, a Facebook group devoted to fasting, and go into this with your eyes-wide open.
