About a month ago, I used to smoke a pack of cigarette a day, and drink a
bottle of wine every 2 days, and eat junk food. Yep, I used to be a total
wreck!
Since last month, I stopped smoking and drinking. I've been running 2 miles a
day Monday through Friday. How can I detox my body? Once I get rid of toxins in
my body, how often should I detox my body to lead a healthy life?
Thanks... |

Go to the 'enema nurse', for a few hundred an hour she'll thoroughly clean you
out. All your pipes will be drained when she gets done with you. |

Congratulations on your new wellness program. From www.drweil.com:
(Published 05/18/2001)
First of all, let me say that the body does a pretty good job of cleansing
and purifying itself, so overall you're better off making sure your physical
resources are in good working order. If you stop putting toxins - junk
foods, drugs, chemicals - into your body and focus on good nutrition,
regular exercise, and other healthy habits, you won't feel the need to
detoxify.
However, if you want to go through a weekend cleansing process as a ritual
to mark the beginning of a healthier lifestyle, you might choose a "juice
fast" plus some powdered psyllium seed husks to give your intestines plenty
of bulk. Use a tablespoon of the powder stirred into a big glass of water
followed by another glass of water. Do this once a day, preferably in the
morning. You can get psyllium at health food stores. While you're fasting,
take 100 mg of vitamin C twice a day, but skip your other supplements.
Drink at least four 8- to 12-ounce glasses of juice each day of your fast
plus at least four 8-ounce glasses of water a day. You can also drink some
unsweetened herbal tea. Prepare the juice yourself and use only organically
grown fruits and vegetables to avoid pesticides and other additives and to
maximize taste. Experiment with different combinations - my favorite is a
mixture of apple, carrot, and lemon juice.
If you can't make your own juices, look for natural ones - those without
added sugar - at a health food store. You might want to dilute them to taste
with water. At the end of your fast, take it easy with solid foods. Start by
eating small amounts of light, plain foods -s ome fruit, perhaps. Gobbling
down heavy food to celebrate the end of your fast can upset your stomach.
I'm often asked about colonic irrigation as a means of "purification." This
is totally unnecessary. The entire lining of the colon sloughs off and is
regenerated every day. The best way to care for the colon is to let its own
natural physiological actions keep it clean and in good working order. You
can help by eating a high-fiber diet, drinking plenty of water, and
exercising to help move your bowels regularly.
What I do recommend as an addition to your fast is sitting in a steam bath
or sauna once or twice a day to help the body eliminate unwanted materials
through sweating. Just be sure to drink extra water when you try this
cleansing regimen. |

You want to undo a lifetime's abuse with a quick fix? Forget the hype, it
can't be done.

I think that 'Detoxing' is a myth created to sell people very expensive
herbal snake oil. Keep exercising. Keep eating right. Simple.

I don't remember asking "how can I undo lifetime's abuse with a quick fix?" I
just wanted to know how to detox my body. That's all. Your misinterpretation
does nothing but just derails my question.
I know that what is already done can't be undone. What I want to do is to
dispose of the remnants of the toxins in my body. Even though you stop smoking
or drinking that doesn't mean the toxins leave your body.
Thanks for your response though! |

To be fair to those who responded, it is a rather vauge question... but
I think the answer is that you cannot 'dispose of the remnants' and
anything which claims it can is most likely a scam. Just keep doing what
you're doing. Your lungs and liver will clear up on their own over the
course of years of healthy living.
