Many people these days are concerned with improving their health by beginning with a blood cleansing program. I agree that this is a valuable first step. The best way to accomplish this is by fasting for at least three days or by doing a cleansing diet and fast for seven days. Fasting is one of the quickest ways to eliminate wastes and enhance the healing processes of the body. When our body does not have to deal with breaking down new foods, it can work on getting rid of old accumulations, which often develop into toxins. Taking herbal preparations can enhance this process, but by itself the process is much slower and not as effective long-term.
Fasting is one of the quickest ways to eliminate wastes and enhance the healing processes of the body. The main causes of disease and aging are found in the systemic disorder that interferes with the normal processes of cell metabolism and cell regeneration. “Life, the biological chain that holds our parts together, is only as strong as the weakest vital link, the cell.” (Hans Selye) Accumulation of waste products in the tissues interferes with the nourishment and oxygenation of cells and causes a slowing down of cellular regeneration and rebuilding.
A Clean Body – Inside, as Well as Out
Since our bodies are a system of tubes through which fluids that must be kept moving, most health problems result from congestion or stagnation of any of these fluids in any part of the tubes. This is a closed system of tubes, with a specific amount of fluid in each tube. Congestion in one area means that there is too much fluid in one area and not enough in another area. For example, blood vessels bring oxygen, nutrients and hormones to all the cells of the body, and pick up waste that has developed as a result of the metabolic processes of the cells. A reduced amount of blood to one area results in a deficiency of these substances and an accumulation of toxins around the cells.
