<p>Self-cleansing or detoxification is one of the bodys natural processes which, when unimpeded, allows the removal of toxic substances and waste products from the body through its various elimination channels: the colon, kidneys, skin, lungs and via the liver and lymphatic system.</p>
<p>Symptoms of dis-ease arise in the body when the its natural processes become blocked. This leads to toxic build up and nutritional deficiency resulting in lesser functioning or efficiency of tissues and cells. We can consider our body as a biological engine, which needs fuel as input to generate energy and to build tissues, with an exhaust or waste system for the removal of metabolic and digestive by-products. Blockage in the delivery of nutrients to the tissues and elimination of wastes results in general under functioning and lesser efficiency of that engine over time. Those of us who own cars understand this principle, which is why we get our cars serviced. We can apply the same principle to our biological engine. Periodic internal cleansing of our bloodstream, liver, colon, kidneys, tissues can accelerate our healing path and keep us in good health for longer. We could pursue a lifestyle which allowed continuous cleansing to take place uninhibited, thereby maintaining us in excellent health permanently. Sadly, the optimum lifestyle of organic natural whole and mostly live foods with fresh juices to supplement is only attractive to a small percentage of the population; so instead we will look at the principles and methods of putting the body in for a service periodically, which has a wider appeal.</p>
