The 1st video explains water vs fat soluble toxins and the 3 entry sites into your body.
In the 2nd video you'll learn how a sluggish liver can slow the detoxification process. You'll learn the basic ins and outs of how your liver functions.
The 3rd video Brenda Watson describes lifestyle practices you can do to help your body detoxify and function optimally.
As a side note, one of our Body Blitz participants told me last week her husband has had sever chronic fatigue for a few years, has been to numerous doctors (and the last one told him to take Ritalin for the fatigue), and he was preparing to go on disability because the fatigue was so bad. The white of his eyes and his skin was yellow. After reading Brenda's book, she decided to giver her husband milk thistle (Brenda talks about this in the video). His eyes and skin have cleared up and he has energy again and can continue to work. Their lives have changed.
It's not a panacea, but it illustrates how important it is to get our basic body functions working properly. In his case, the liver and detoxification.
Whatever you do, remember, your body wants to be healthy. It continues to heal itself if we don't get in the way TOO much. Our job is to provide the right "biological terrain" so our bodies can do their job.
It's not about taking supplements to "fix" problems or cover up symptoms. Anything you take should be something your body is either missing or it needs the substance to return to its normal function.
Become a detective, learn about how your body SHOULD function, learn how supplements, diet, and lifestyle help or hinder your biological terrain, and make your choices..take action.
