Toxins

Posted on: May 18th, 2010 by Natalie No Comments

Toxins are everywhere and we are bombarded no matter how healthy our diet and lifestyle is.

Toxins come from drugs, heavy metals, household chemicals & solvents, infections, herbicides & pesticides, air pollution, alcohol, tobacco, water pollution, caffeine, emotional stress and negative emotions.

Symptoms such as headaches, aches & pains, bad breath & body odour, poor concentration, allergies, skin problems, depression, lowered immunity, fatigue, constipation, anxiety, insomnia and weight issues indicate a system overloaded by toxins.

Juice  fasting with supportive modalities promote detoxification, eliminate toxins and allows self healing of these dis-ease processes as the mind, body and spirit is rebalanced.

Town water is acidic and full of pollutants. It is usually contains harmful chemicals & metals such as chlorine, mutagens, fluoride, lead and iron. Chlorine is a potent carcinogen and used to kill parasites and disinfect water. With fluoride and heavy metals damaging health.

It’s an accepted fact that our tap water, filled with industrial waste and discarded pharmaceuticals, requires intense filtering for optimum health. It’s also true that many people aren’t aware of exactly what different types of water filters can and can’t remove. So, the first part of any good water treatment involves the filtering of the incoming water supply.

Why the importance of regular detox?

Posted on: May 22nd, 2010 by sarah No Comments

Cleansing, Detoxification and Fasting are  therapuitic modalities that have been practised for thousands of years.  In Ancient times it was noted that Hippocrates, Buddha,  and Pythagoras , just to name a few, all used fasting as a way to gain enlightenment and purify the body.

The one and only solution to pollution is purification.

Pollution is a basic fact of life.  No one is immune to it.  Although the human body is designed to cleanse itself naturally of the normal waste products of digestion and metabolism, it is clearly not equipped to deal with the additional toxic overload from chemical preservatives and pesticides, pharmaceutical drugs and artificial foods, and other sources of internal toxicity that have become common in modern lifestyles.  This internal pollution is the major cause of disease, degeneration, and a foreshortened life span in our modern world.

Toxemia in the body and in the blood can over years contribute to a chronic build up of toxic waste matter that slowly filters into the blood and organs and hence cause chronic disease. The only real way to clean up the internal environment is to allow the purification systems of the body to be stimulated by undergoing a therapeutic detox ir cleansing program. Fortunately a systemic detox can be done simply, quickly and efficiently.  It is recommended to do a three to seven day organic juice fasting program with colonic hydrotherapy on a yearly basis to keep your systemic microcosm clear and free from accumulated toxic build up and disease.

It takes approximately 3 days for toxins to be eliminated from the organs and 7 to 10 days to purify the bloodstream.

The first and foremost strategy in any detox program is to flush acid residues out of the lymphatic system, blood, and other bodily fluids, all of which should be slightly alkaline.  Almost all toxins in the body are acidic, and these acids must therefore be neutralized and flushed out of the system to restore normal alkaline balance to the blood and other bodily fluids.

Byron Bay Detox Retreats have regular exclusive detox programs focusing on seven day organic juice cleansing to assist in the stimulation of the detox pathways to regain homeostasis within the delicate microcosm of our human temple.  Please visit our website for upcoming dates, programs and venues in Byron Bay and Overseas.

Colon Cleansing

Posted on: November 30th, 2010 by Natalie No Comments

Did you know your colon could be carrying anything between 2 – 6 kg of compacted matter and toxic waste? This toxic waste sitting in the colon is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream and in to the tissues and organs of the body. It is detrimental to incorporate colonic hydrotherapy with any detox or fast to avoid “autointoxication” which is known as a self poisoning of the system. The large intestine is the second largest organ of elimination and is the most rapid way to eliminate toxins from the system. Colonic Hydrotherapy triggers a major cleansing reaction throughout the whole body. The many health benefits include:

  • improved muscle tone of the colon
  • reduced toxic waste and absorption
  • increased digestive function
  • hydration
  • purging of the liver
  • increases elimination of parasites, bad bacteria and fungi
  • clears the lymphatic system
  • increases immunity
  • clearer skin and eyes
  • clarity of mind
  • increased vitality
