Detoxification and Your Health: The
Bodies 7 Channels of Elimination!
By Charles O. Palmerson
If you want to be healthy you need to understand the seven systems that
the body uses to eliminate waste and toxic matters. When these systems
are working effectively the result is good health. When they are
compromised all types of complications can result. If you want to
understand detoxification you need to have a clear understanding of the
bodies channels of elimination.
When the body confronts a toxin or foreign substance it uses these
channels of elimination to purge the toxin as quickly as possible. They
key to excellent health is knowing these 7 channels of elimination like
the back of your hand and doing everything possible to keep them
functioning optimally.
In 1904 a Russian Naturopathic Physician by the name of Eli Metchnikof
discovered that the body would recycle any toxin that it was not capable
of purging. In the recycling process the body would utilize all 7
channels of elimination to try and get the toxic substance removed from
the body. This is important to understand because if your health has
been compromised it would stand to reason that one or more of the bodies
channels of elimination are not working effectively.
Most people cannot even name the bodies seven channels of elimination.
If you value your health do everything you can to understand these seven
vital cleansing systems.
Liver - The Liver is the bodies factory. It metabolizes food, filters
toxins and converts ingredients into substances that are needed in all
parts of the body. Your liver is one of the largest and most important
organs in your body. The Liver when healthy will store vitamins, sugars,
fats and other nutrients from the food that you eat. The Liver builds
chemicals that your body needs to stay healthy and breaks down harmful
substances, like alcohol and other toxic (poisonous) chemicals. It also
removes waste products from your blood and makes sure that your body has
just the right amount of other chemicals that it needs.
Learn about the Liver by picking up a basic book on health and
supplement accordingly.
Lungs - Your LUNGS rae in charge of breathing so you better take care of
them. The best way to take care of the lungs is to give them lots of
exercise. The best way to keep your lungs healthy is not to smoke.
Smoking isn't good for any part of your body, and your lungs especially
hate it. Deep breathing of fresh air is the best exercise for the LUNGS.
Spend 15 minutes each day doing deep breathing exercises.
Lymphatic System - Regular exercise is the best treatment that your
lymphatic system can receive. The Lymphatic is the bodies filter system
which supports immune function. A healthy lymphatic system filters out
bacteria and other foreign particles. A natural herb by the name of
arabanogalactan is a natural cleanser of the lymphatic system.
Blood - The blood is a liquid organ which transfers and transports
substances throughout the body. It is what delivers the needed nutrition
to those areas that are in need. Red Clover and Chlorella are wonderful
natural cleansers of the blood system. A regular exercise routine
stimulates the blood system and assists the body in eliminating waste.
Skin - The Skin is the bodies largest organ. By sweating naturally you
assist in cleansing the skin and keeping it elastic and healthy. Going
to a Sauna and sweating is a wonderful health regimen for the skin.
Colon - The colon is vital to effective health because it serves the
function of transporting waste out of the body. Hydration of the
digestion system will improve Colon Health. This can be done by drinking
an equivalent number of ounces of water to your body weight every day.
Also, hydrating the colon through Colon Hydrotherapy has proven to be
very beneficial to re-etablishing health.
Kidneys - Your chances of developing a kidney stone in your lifetime are
1 in 10? In 1995, more than 3 million people in the United States had
some type of kidney condition such as an infection, kidney stones or
cancer. More than 300,000 people suffer from renal failure each year and
undergo dialysis or await a kidney transplant.
The kidneys produce urine which is the waste in the body. Often kidney
problems are the result of dehydration. A natural supplement that
cleanses and provides needed nutrition for the kidneys is Corn Silk.
If you want to understand good health you ned to understand these seven
channels of elimnation. I urge you to understand these seven channels of
elimination and do everything possible to assist them in your pursuit of
excellent health.
