Good detoxification therapies?

I grew up on a farm and was exposed to many toxins -- fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides. I attribute my grandfather's lupus disease to life-long exposure to these poisons. Medical research supports this -- toxicity is one trigger for lupus.

I've had immune system problems all my life. I took gamma globulin and long-acting penicillin shots for more than 20 years as my immune system was so weak I couldn't fight off any virus or bacterial infection. Now I'm plagued with several food and environmental allergies. I have interstitial cystitis. My skin is a mess -- always breaking out all over my body. My allergy doctor said it was a sign of toxicity. Now I've got some symptoms of lupus and am getting nervous.

I've been away from the farm for severals years, but I know I'm still paying the price. Is there any way to remove these poisons from the body or are they trapped forever in my tissues and I'm destined to be sick all my life?

I am planning on making an appointment with a doctor regarding my lupus concerns. I've gone the traditional medicine route....just wanted to see what the alternative medicine community can offer me.

I aways recommend this to everyone, because I've been on it for three months. It's a safe, all-natural, gentle colon cleanse that is a very good first step to full-body detoxification. It's given me wonderful results so far... it's done wonders for my skin, too.

Anyway, you might check out their testimonials... there are hundreds of them, and they're all on file and verifiable. A lot of people have said that after doing the cleanse, a lot of other health problems eased up or went away completely.

Your colon can be an awfully toxic place... lots of terrible things can get stored there for a long time, and slowly leak out into your body. And, if you can stomach it... check out the pictures page. That's what sealed the deal for me.

But, if you're looking for something really easy and inexpensive to follow, just drink lots of pure water with a tablespoon or two of organic lemon juice... the lemon juice helps pull the "bad stuff" out of your body, and water is a natural purifier. There are also a lot of good detoxification teas on the market, for relatively cheap. If you're fortunate enough to have a health food store nearby (sometimes you can even find them at bigger grocery stores), you shouldn't have any trouble running across one.

you probably shouldnt be getting your answers from here and should be making an appt. to see you doctor asap....

I don't know.....Ido know that PURE 100% CRANBERRY JUICE is used for some types of detoxification. Call a hospital and talk to someone from the detox unit.

you should try to fix this problem with healthy diet and exercise. drink green tea instead of water, eat lots of organic fruit, vegetables and seeds, don't eat meat, eggs, milk nor anything that comes from an animal. use honey instead of white sugar. try to be consistent. exercise twice a day, in the morning and before going to bed. you should go regularly to sauna, 2-3 times a week, 3*15 min by a visit; in the breaks shower with cold water. for your skin use honey mask and lotions only located in a pharmacy (a-derma; avene are very good)... all of this will improve your general health and immune system. good luck!

WonderWoman, It is true that you need a good detox therapy. There is one very simple but effective detox element that has been used by Asian for over 800yrs. It is a natural chelator and been given GRAS status by FDA. This substance has help many patients with severe ailments. To know more about this Substance by the name Zeolite, you can email me at bertolisw@yahoo.com , cause I don't want to violate the community rule of Spam&Advert.
Don't have to be nervous anymore since help is just around the corner.
Take good care of what you eat.
My prayer for you
Speedy Recovery.

Something I have been trying for detoxification and have already began to notice improvement is what is called GT'S Kombucha which is a tea that you drink. I buy it from whole foods market and drink one 16oz bottle per day. I have found that it really does help and is natural whole food. You can go to GTS Kombucha.com and read more about it and you also can order a kit to make it yourself but I choose not to mess with it as it takes time to brew and I don't have too much extra time so easier to buy although that is an option. As far as any drug reaction the only know drug it reacts with is antibuse.

How to Remove Toxins by Detoxifying
Our bodies tend to accumulate toxins throughout our life. These toxins enter the body through the polluted air, water, food full of preservatives, chemicals and artificial colors, exposure to radiation and unhealthy lifestyle practices like smoking, alcohol and drugs. If not removed immediately, they can cause tiredness, restlessness and lead to many serious diseases like cancer, heart diseases, osteoporosis, diabetes and others. Research has indicted these toxins in many diseases and this has led people to follow a healthy lifestyle. The process of elimination of these toxins is called detoxification or detox.

There is a FDA approved patch available in the market that eliminates these toxins when you sleep. It is a natural, safe and effective process. These patches are called Kinohimitsu health pads. Kinohimitsu means tree secret. They use the principles of reflexology and can be applied to soles of the feet or any part experiencing pain. This pad reverses the damage caused by the positive ions, leading to improved breathing, better immunity, detoxification and general wellness.

It contains the actual Japanese tree extracts and negative ions as its main constituents. Negative ions are oxygen atoms with an additional electron and are found abundantly in natural areas like waterfalls, forests or seashores. These give us the refreshing feeling when we are close to nature. These negative ions play a positive role in destroying the toxins and improving the overall feeling of wellness.
