Come Clean and Detox

I know you've heard it plenty of times - we're living in a society that is full of toxins! Pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals in the soil and water - what have we done to ourselves and our earth?
Well, we humans are also survivors and with some help, our bodies can clean out and rebuild and heal. We truly are, as the psalmist says, "fearfully and wonderfully made." (See "Speaking of Toxins," July 13.)
Plants are our number one tools for cleaning out and healing ourselves. Adding greens to your diet will immediately bring good healing results. But, to do an internal cleanse and give the body the tools it needs to detox, means going further than just eating more greens.
Dr. Bernard Jensen has stated, "life or death begins in the colon." The standard American diet is comprised of refined, processed foods, high in saturated fats, low in fiber, high in sugars and salts. All this indulgence and convenience has cost us our health. So, what to do. Periodic cleanses can be very beneficial, although the most benefit will come about if you are willing to make permanent changes to your diet and lifestyle. How far are you willing to go? When you begin it may seem difficult, but as you keep at it, your body feels better and believe me, it will begin to talk to you and you will know instantly when you bite into something whether it is beneficial or not.
A cleansing program is easy to undertake and does not require that you buy expensive boxed programs. With a little knowledge and old-fashioned will-power, you can do it!
