Why is Cleansing and Detoxification Important?

For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemical, from the moment of conception until death. ( Silent Spring, Carson, p15)

'The publication of Rachel Carson's groundbreaking work, Silent Spring in 1962 brought the chemical contamination of the earth to the forefront of public awareness.  Forty years later, our chemical dependence permeates every aspect of our lives and low levels of many toxins are detectable in Canadians no matter what their age.  Polluted Children, Toxic Nation: A Report on Pollution in Canadian Families is the second study of chemical contamination in the Canadian population conducted by Environment Defense and builds on the findings released in November 2005.'

Brenda Watson, in the introduction to her latest book, Detox Strategy, writes: " Nowadays we hear a lot about the devastating effects of widespread pollution on our environment. But how often do we stop to consider its effect on our bodies? with more than 80, 000 chemicals currently in use today and 1,000 more introduced each year, we can no longer deny that we are living in a toxic world."

What is Cleansing?

Cleansing refers to the comprehensive process by which our bodies filter and remove toxins through the body's natural elimination systems. The seven channels of elimination are made up of a group of organs and organ systems including the liver, lungs, lymphatic system, kidneys, skin, blood and bowel ( colon), and together they are responsible for getting rid of waste and toxins.

Even though the human body has a 'built in' cleansing and detox system, it was never meant to process the overwhelming number of toxins absorbed from living in our modern world.

What is Detoxification?

Detoxification refers to the actions we take to support the body's natural cleansing systems.
