“There are numerous ways in which the body rids itself of harmful materials, metabolic products and radiation. The liver, kidneys, intestine, skin, lungs — all work in concert to rid us of everything harmful and superfluous. Anything that strengthens these organs is also strengthening the capacity of the body to detoxify itself.” p146 Moon Time: The Art of Harmony with Nature and Lunar Cycles
by Johanna Paungger
This is a simple but powerful suggestion — if we find things that help, do them regularly so that toxins don’t have a chance to build up to the point where our bodies are overloaded and just has to do whatever it can to get rid of them. Find ways to make various of these detoxification methods part of daily healing rituals.
It is important for our bodies to also pulse, or alternate our rituals, as the various parasites, biofilms, not so friendly microbes can find ways to hide or protect themselves from and our body likes variety. Some of the methods that I have found particularly helpful are:
- External Baths
- Dry Skin Brushing
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Oil Mouthwash (Oil Pulling)
- Qi Gong / Tai Chi / Kum Nye / Walking
- Baking Soda Shampoo and Apple Cider Vinegar Conditioner
- Bentonite Clay
- Juice/Broth Fasts
- Herbs – Nettles
- Kombucha/Kefir
- Breathing
- Fermented foods
- Internal Baths
- Sunlight
- Himalayan Crystal Salt
- Avoid Pesticides
- Castor Oil Packs
- Use Natural products (soapnuts) for cleaning your clothes, dishes, hair and home
- In depth look at various powerful ways to detox your body from radiation poisoning
Periods of cleansing or fasting are incorporated into nearly every tradition to some extent. Rituals of healing and cleansing have been very important in mankind’s history and it is good to recognize that we need to make a place for these rituals in our modern lives. In fact, it is obviously important than ever in our modern world that is overloaded with industrial chemicals and whatnot.
Hellas, thank goodness there are ones like you and wonderful blogs like these!
Blessings
Thank you so much! And thank you so much for your comments and for sharing your own experiences with enemas and detoxification. It is so helpful. Blessing to you as well.
You’ve sold me on baths. I’ve put “Take Bath” on my calendar and will pick up a big bag of Epsom salts today. I would love it if they helped with my joint pain. Thanks for explaining how they work. I’m off to read the rest of the detox posts…
I’ve been learning even more abut baths lately, baking soda is very good for detoxing from EMFs and other types of radiation poisoning as well as clays. I am posting more about this soon, but yeah…incredible the wonderful healing from baths. I have also learned that Magnesium Chloride is meant to be more effective at dealing with radiation, but all epsom salts are good.
Wow, your experiences these last few years sound very challenging. I’m glad you have found ways to provide some relief, though. I look forward to reading future posts!
Where did you get your hair analysis that showed the pesticides?
Hi I will have to try to remember to email you directly. I got my hair analysis done by a woman in NZ, but for some reason when I sent her a second test to do after about a year on the GAPS diet she never sent me the results or replied or anything, so I am not sure if she is still in business.
I have just discovered another place to get them done, also you can get a kit to test at home for heavy metals. I will put up a new post soon with more info about clays I am just learning more about them myself–incredible healing abilities! Anyway here is the info for testing I got this info from this site http://www.magneticclay.com. It is well worth it to read all the articles on this site–really informative information:
TESTING METALS/CHEMICALS IN YOUR BODY
Here are a few ways a person can test their own toxicity of metals and chemicals right in your own home:
Body Balance (from Great Smokies Laboratories – Asheville, NC)
This laboratory offers a Mineral Check for 11 Essential Minerals and 9 Toxins. Mineral Check, uses a hair sample, measures levels of 11 essential minerals including: Calcium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iodine, Magnesium, Manganese, Selenium, Strontium, Sulfur, Zinc and 9 toxic elements including: Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Bismuth, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Nickel, and Tin. Essential minerals are a factor in cellular function and are necessary for the body’s structural and metabolic functions, in particular, enzyme reactions.
Toxic elements can affect many areas, including brain function and activity, kidney damage, and symptoms such as insomnia, headaches, and digestive problems.
This test kit costs around $60.00
Please contact Body Balance at 888-891-3061 Ext #5
Unfortunately I have just discovered that Body Balance is shutting down it’s testing this year, but they say if you get a test kit somewhere and send in for a result they will process it until the end of the year: http://www.bodybalance.com/
I am looking forward to future posts. The vinegar.. do you use it for cleansing the skin? Nettles are beginning to come up where I live in the midwest. Free food!
