I see all these whacky diets claiming to flush out toxins!. What exactly do you mean by that!? What toxins!? Specific toxins please and how do these altie treatments flush them out!? Can you give physiologic processes that are enhanced by these toxin flushers!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
"toxins" are metabolites!. metabolites result from "eating food, bodies processing the food, bodies getting rid of what's unprocessable/unusable"

so really, these flushing diets just help you go #1 and #2!.!.!.essentially helping you flush good money down the toilet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are a lot of products that are making wild claims on the coat tails of a very few that actually do work!. A very general explanation of toxins are anything that the body cannot use as nourishment and can cause harm to the body!. Many foods that can be tolerated well by one person, may not be tolerated by another person and can become toxic to them!. A good example of this is there are some people that are lacking a gene in their lungs that cannot break down tryptophan (an amino acid) due to the absence of alpha-ana-trypsine (the enzyme that breaks down tryptophan) and they get asthma from this!. This amino acid is found in sesame seeds and turkey!. So sesame seeds become toxic to that person's body!. In that case, not eating the sesame seeds or turkey, etc!. becomes a priority for them!.

The SAD diet (standard American diet) contains huge amounts of toxins in foods, especially processed foods!. Poor digestion is a major contributor to toxins building up in the body!. When organs do not work well, the body does not digest well and to protect the organs, the body puts the toxins in fat tissue!. Many organs, like the intestines, for example dump toxins into the lungs, leaving the body susceptible to many lung problems!.

Doctors treat symptoms, not "root causes" of disease!. This is why many illnesses become chronic and people become dependent upon drugs and only have "make believe health!." Many toxins remain in the intestines where disease can and does breed!. The peyer's patches of the small intestines are one area in the body where toxins get lodged and remain for years causing lots of problems!.

A colonoscopy is one way to clean out the colon, but it also wipes out the intestinal flora that is 3/4 of your immune system!. Yes, it cleans the colon, but at a dear cost to the body!. It's not easy to replenish the friendly flora!. You can do it, but it takes a lot of time and effort to do so!. Colon cleansing with herbs has been done for centuries and is the most practical way of accomplishing this task while maintaining health!.

The problem is that a lot of colon cleansing products are just not that good and can be toxic themselves with junk they put into them!. It's not unusual to see a person lose 10 - 20 pounds during a good colon cleanse!. This is debris that has been in there for years!.

It's very important to make sure ALL your organs are working at top efficiency and your cells have up regulated energy before doing these cleanses!. This is ignored by most because there is no money in this preparation, only selling the colon cleanse!. The problem is that you do NOT want to have the toxins released and then reabsorbed and cause more problems than you are trying to solve!.

It is NOT easy to be healthy in America today!. Our bodies have an innate intelligence that strives to keep us healthy, but when the assaults of modern diets, chemicals, electromagnetic fields, traumas, and other issues like drugs, etc!. are put into the body, it makes this task of being healthy very difficult!. We should not have to constantly defend ourselves from bad quality foods, but that is our reality today!.

Finding good quality foods is not easy, even in health food stores I find bad quality all the time when testing the food for nutrients!.

There are a few good cleanses on the market, but it takes some sophistication to find them!. Don't get discouraged, it is possible to be healthy in America with a lot of work!.

The primary reason for colon cleansing is not to make you do #1 & #2 better, it is to get rid of the toxins that contribute to making you sick!. Another good example of a toxin is mercury and other heavy metals that are causing many disease in the body!. These toxins are put into the body by dentists, doctors, and coming into contact with these heavy metals in foods and even the air you breathe!.

Toxins put a serious burden on the body and cause it to be unhealthy and more open to disease!.

good luck to youWww@Answer-Health@Com

Why do you believe that you are so smart!
You are not searching for more knowledge, you just provoking!.

You do know more about the accumulated heavy metal, pesticide, herbicide, food colouring and preservatives which are putting more and more stress on our system - than most of other people on this site!.

And because of our lazy lifestyle, our bodies can't cope with this overload of chemicals!.
The internal organs are working overtime to no use!.

And that is where we have to help!.
Flush is out!.
Like cleaning the beer pipes every week, for the beer to be good!.
I do flush my pipes frequently and it does wonders!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

"Dear Ms!. Informed"!.
I hate to argue your point for reasons that Y/A is not a Jousting Field!.

Nevertheless, one look at your picture (if it is your true image) is telling me, that yes, you are not wasting any of your hard earn money for the so called:
["Fad flush diets!.!.bodies do all this stuff on it's own--and a little help with better food choices"]!.

Yours is crying for help!.

That is exactly why we have to get a rid of these toxins!.

If one does it properly, one can loose up to 10 kg(22lb) virtually overnight!.

You just need the "right stuff"!. Unhappily I have to admit, there is too many rip off merchants in our midst!.

PS!.

And Gary Y, why don't you stick to something you know best!.
I am not meddling in geophysics or geomechanics, but minding my own field of expertise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ms Informed has given an excellent answer!. I would add that your body, after millions of years of evolution, knows how to deal with toxins!. If it didn't, you would be either very ill, or dead!. Detox diets, products, colon cleanse etc are all quackery, designed only to make your wallet lighter!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
