Our bodies are exposed to toxins on a continual basis. These toxins come from a variety of sources, and accumulate in our bodies when they overwhelm our body’s natural ability to detoxify. This article describes the sources of toxins, and simple detoxification methods.


Where Do Toxins Come From?

Toxins come from a number of sources. External sources include our food and water, the air we breathe, which can introduce fungus, molds, or bacteria. They also come from ingredients in our food – GMO’s, chemicals such as pesticides, artificial colorings, antibiotics, and preservatives. Toxins are absorbed from products applied to the skin including soaps, suntan lotions, and skin care products.

Toxins are also produced within our bodies as a natural by-product of cellular metabolism. Respiration produces carbon dioxide, which is a toxin. Digestion breaks protein into amino acids from which new cells are created, with urea as a by-product which is excreted by the kidneys.


How Does the Body Eliminate Toxins?

The body has its own natural detoxification system for neutralizing toxins and clearing them from the body. This consists of the liver, kidneys, skin, lymphatics, lungs, and bowels.

The liver and lymphatics process and clear waste from the blood and circulation, but do not directly eliminate waste from the body. Kidneys eliminate 50% of waste (including toxins) from the body via urine; the skin eliminates 28% of waste in sweat; and the lungs eliminate 20% (carbon dioxide produced by respiration, rather than anything ingested). The bowels eliminate the remaining 2% as solid waste.


How Can I Support the Body’s Detoxification Processes?

When the body is overwhelmed from excessive toxicity, or the body’s detoxification system is impaired, toxins can accumulate in the body. This results in fatigue or feeling generally worn down. If not addressed, it can stress other areas of the body including digestion and the immune system, and lead to other issues. For example, when the kidneys are not fully functioning, the skin becomes overloaded and breaks out or becomes red, itchy or irritated.

Water – with the kidneys being responsible for eliminating 50% of the waste, drinking enough good quality water daily is essential. Divide your weight (pounds) in half, and drink that many ounces of water in a day (130 pounds -> drink 65 ounces, or just over a half gallon). Note that beverages – coffee, tea, soda, and soup – are processed by the body as food, and do not hydrate like water.

Movement – the liver has a major role in processing harmful substances, and filtering waste from the blood. The liver can also be affected by negative or toxic emotions, especially anger, which is why it’s important to address and transmute these emotions. Exercise, stretching, or walking creates the physical movement stimulates the lymphatics and activates the immune system – especially for Lymph, Medulla, Nervous System, and Thymus body types.

Breathe – the lungs are stimulated by, and detoxify through, the breath. Deep breathing activates the lower lobes of the lungs, and expands the diaphragm which helps the heart beat and moves energy from the upper body into the lower body. Singing and exercise are ways to trigger deeper breathing.

Get Sun - Vitamin D, which is also a hormone, is a primary supporter of the immune system. Vitamin D is produced naturally within the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight.

Skin brushing – the lymphatic system runs throughout the body and carries waste into the blood to be filtered out. Skin brushing stimulates the lymphatics. This can be done daily, before the shower (while the skin is dry). Brush towards the heart beginning with the clavicle, then under the ears towards the throat, then under the arms, the upper chest, abdomen, groin, behind the knees, and the feet.

Eat beets – the liver is the main detoxification organ, and beets provide excellent stimulation for liver detoxification. They are a Supportive or an Ultra-Supportive food for all 25 body types, so they can be consumed 2 - 5 times per week. They can be juiced with carrots and celery, or boiled or baked, canned or pickled, soups, or raw in salad.

Other foods – Asparagus supports the liver and kidneys. Watermelon (or watermelon juice) support kidney cleansing. Lemon juice supports the lymphatics.

Peppermint essential oil – this provides excellent support for the body’s health system. It can be inhaled, added to hot water as tea, or added to drinking water (just 1-2 drops) and sipped throughout the day. It can be applied to your neck, head, under your chin from ear to ear, the back of the neck, chest and forehead. (If you are a Stomach body type, then Spearmint Essential Oil would be a better choice for you.)


What Is the Best Cleansing Program For Me?

Periodic cleanses are good for general body maintenance, and are relatively gentle on the body. I have found doing a fast or cleanse day for 1 - 3 days per week, 1 - 4 times per month to be the most effective and most supportive. Detoxing in this way takes the stress of digestion off of the body while providing enough nutrients to maintain blood sugar levels.

In general, vegetables are the foundation of any program as they are the best cleansers and can be eaten raw, juiced, baked or steamed. Some body types do well to include nuts, seeds and fruits during their cleanse. (Remember, the best time of day to eat fruit varies according to body type.)

The Profile & Diet Book for each body type includes a sample cleanse menu specific to that body type, which is located at the end of the Sample Menu section. Here are a few examples:






Detoxification Tips

Regular detoxification is helpful to clear toxins from the body. Baths are great for detoxifying through the skin. Baking soda is good for achy muscles, and apple cider vinegar for radiation. The most effective bath I have found for our current conditions is Miracle II. Add 1 ounce (2 tablespoons), roughly 1 capful, each of Miracle II Soap and Miracle II Neutralizer to your bath, then soak for 20 minutes. If a bath isn’t available or convenient, use a foot bath, reducing the amounts of each to 1 teaspoon.

Because the body does detox through the soles of the feet, detox foot pads such as those made by KinoTox are a convenient and effective method of detoxification, and have been popular with my patients. They are very easy to use – simply wear them to bed and remove in the morning.



In the shower, using sea salt on the chest and solar plexus helps clear your aura - like going down to the ocean - which is excellent when you are going through emotional stress or are around others who are. This is a good daily practice.




Nutritional Support

Some of the most important nutritional supplements I have found to support the detoxification process and body in general are:



Ultra-D 5000 While the skin produces Vitamin D when exposed to the sun, I have found an amazing number of people are still low on Vitamin D, even when out in the sun for several hours. Just taking Vitamin D is often not enough, as vitamin D is an oil soluble vitamin. I have found Ultra-D 5000 by Apex Energetics to have the best assimilation as it is in a fish oil base. Fish oil supplies the essential fatty acids that are supportive to the adrenal glands, naturally increasing your energy and stamina. (This is a refridgerated item - you can pick up at my office, or call my office at 858-756-3704 for special cool-pack delivery.)



Total Body Greens Powder – vegetables and vegetable juices are natural cleansers. World Health Mall makes a Total Body Greens powder that can be mixed with water or added to a smoothie. Chocolate is the most popular flavor. In addition to chocolate, it comes in original and berry flavors.



Cytozyme Parotid-TS – this supplement by Biotics supports the Parotid gland – the gland that swells when you have the mumps. The parotid gland is also supportive to the immune system in fighting infections. The Parotid can secrete up to a half gallon of liquid daily when pollution levels are high. Take 2 daily with food and drink plenty of water. (You can pick this item up at my office, or call my office at 858-756-3704 for delivery.)



Chlorophyll Complex – this supplement from Standard Process supports the gut for healing, detoxification and digestion. In many cases, Chlorophyll Complex can lower homocysteine levels and assist with B12/ Folic acid assimilation.




Environmental Support

The best environmental support I have found is using Pure-Light light bulbs. Using a NASA-derived technology, they create a hypo-allergenic space by breaking down 99.9% of bacteria, virus and mold in the air, as well as on nearby surfaces. They also dissolve a wide range of indoor air pollutants like formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, methane, and benzine, within an 8 – 12 foot radius.

These LED bulbs use titanium dioxide to produce two super oxygen molecules – called superoxides and hydroxyl ions. Superoxides are produced by white blood cells and are used by the immune system to kill invading microorganisms. The hydroxyl ion exists in the atmosphere and acts as a more efficient “air detergent” than ozone.

These LED bulbs are energy efficient, using 70-90% less energy than traditional bulbs, and don’t require replacement. They fit in standard light bulb sockets and lamps. They emit full spectrum white light, also known as “happy light”, without the flicker of fluorescent bulbs.

The bulbs come in 3 varieties:

Discover your best cleanse - take the test and discover your body type today. NEW - take the test as a couple and save:

Clarity essential oil blend promotes a clear mind and amplifies mental alertness, improves mental activity, and increases energy when overly tired. Use Clarity for mental and nervous fatigue, sports competitions and emotional balance.

Clarity will help those who are resistant to learning new things or changing habitual patterns. It also brings the spirit and mind back into focus.

Guilt is a Core Emotional Issue for the Spleen body type. The other side of Guilt is Deserve, as in Getting What You Deserve. All too often, we associate "get what you deserve" as a child and being punished for something you did wrong. In this context it's about being rewarded for your efforts and doing something right. Just as the spleen reclaims the iron from old red blood cells and uses it to make new cells, we transmute Guilt into Get What You Deserve using the essential oil Clarity and the statement "I learn from all of life's experiences."

Clarity is also used to transmute Repression into Creativity, and Stress (Emotional) into Harmony.

Other uses for Clarity essential oil include:

• Directly inhale, diffuse or add 2-4 drops to bath water
• Mix with equal parts of vegetable oil, especially if you experience sun or skin sensitivity
• Apply 1-2 drops on edge of ears, wrists, neck, forehead, temples, brain point at front center of hairline or feet Vita Flex points (the brain point is on the large toe)
• Combine with Brain Power, Palo Santo, Lemon or Peppermint essential oils to enhance the effects of Clarity essential oil

Clarity is a blend containing stimulating essential oils: Basil, Cardamon, Rosemary, Coriander, Geranium, Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, Jasmine, Palmarosa, Lemon, Peppermint and Roman Chamomile.
