Our health is highly dependent on what we consume and what we put in and on our bodies. So, if you eat large amounts of junk food, then the nutrients that fuel your body are basically of the lowest quality. What should concern you most is the possibility of having consumed harmful heavy metals. Heavy metals are the most dangerous and cause you to have energy leakage, low mental clarity, and slows down brain development and function.
Many don't realize that heavy metals have entered the body in the first place. It's not like you would eat a meal of heavy metals. Heavy metals are industrial by-products, traces of which can easily be found in drinking water, pesticides, dental braces, dental fillings, certain metal cookware, and aluminum cooking products to name a few. Scrap dental amalgam was declared a dangerous compound by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1989.
If you suspect that you have heavy metals in your body and would like to get rid of them. A heavy metal cleansing/detox is recommended. Heavy metal cleansing is the process of eliminating poisonous and toxic heavy metal substances from your body. Usually, your body has a natural way of detoxifying on its own. Impurities are removed via the feces and urine. In addition, small amounts of heavy metals may also be released into the air through your lungs. The liver can also help in heavy metal detox. It actually excretes metal in the bile and reabsorbs them. The kidney also performs a process that disposes of the heavy metals that your body absorbs by producing Metallothionein. Metallothionein (MT) is a family of cysteine-rich, low molecular weight proteins. MTs have the capacity to bind both physiological (Zn, Cu, Se,...) and xenobiotic (Cd, Hg, Ag,...) heavy metals through the thiol group of its cysteine residues, which represents nearly the 30% of its amino acidic residues.
Metallothionein's experimental data relates it with protection against metal toxicity, regulation of physiological metals (Zn and Cu) and protection against oxidative stress. There are four main isoforms expressed in humans. In the human body, large quantities are synthesised primarily in the liver and kidneys. Their production is dependent on availability of the dietary minerals such as zinc, copper, selenium, and the amino acids histidine and cysteine. Problems start when there is a toxic build up of heavy metals and other waste, causing the organs to become overwhelmed and not able to perform at peak efficiency.
Alternative health experts recommend that you should undertake measures to aid your body in heavy metal detox. Heavy metal detox helps to remove heavy metals like mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium, and others. These metals, when found in your body, causes cross-linking in the brain(short circuit), destroys vital enzymes, cell receptors, and hormones. Lead is also found to restrain brain nerves. Thus, the presence of lead can affect brain development, especially in growing children. It is the same or worse with mercury.
You will need to be under the guidance of an alternative health expert for heavy metal detox. If heavy metal detox is not done properly, mercury can actually result in renal failure. You will also experience symptoms of mercury poisoning. There are also some nutrients that you need in your daily diet to aid in the process of heavy metal detox:
* B-Complex-consist of eight vitamins:
Thiamin-(B1)essential for proper carbohydrate metabolism. Also works to promote healthy nerves, improve mood, strengthen the heart, and improve heartburn.
Riboflavin-(B2)necessary for red blood cell formation, as well as for assisting with fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Also works to improve skin blemishes, migraines and in preventing the onset of cataracts.
Niacin-(B3)an effective aid for lowering cholesterol, as well as to promote healthy skin. Can also be used to treat depression, insomnia and arthritis.
Pantothenic Acid-(B5)works to promote a healthy Central Nervous System, as well as assist in energy production, and fight chronic fatigue, migraines, allergies and heartburn.
Pyridoxine-(B6)needed for almost every function in the body, working as a coenzyme for numerous enzymes. Plays a major role in forming red blood cells, proteins and neurotransmitters, as well as stabilizing homocysteine levels. Can be used to relieve PMS and asthma attacks.
Cyanocobalamin-(B12)essential to prevent pernicious anemia, which is caused by B12 deficiency
Biotin-important to improve nail & hair health.
Folic Acid-Essential during pregnancy to protect against birth defects; stabilizes homocysteine levels.
* Grape Seed Extract-antioxidants in grape seed extract may help prevent changes, including damage to blood vessels, that may contribute to the development of heart disease
* Methionine- A powerful anti-oxidant and a good source of sulfur, which prevents disorders of the hair, skin, and nails
* Silymarin-has shown differing degrees of effectiveness for protecting the liver from damage caused by alcohol, chemicals, drugs, diseases, and poisonous plants.
* Wheat Grass-it has been argued that wheat grass helps blood flow, digestion, and general detoxification of the body.
* N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine-"NAC", provides powerful immune support and also packs powerful anti-toxin potential.
* Chlorella-helps detoxify your body, Improve your digestive system, including decreasing constipation, Focus more clearly and for greater duration, and Promotes a healthy pH balance.
* Multi-Mineral-ensure healthy functioning of every system in the body.
The idea of heavy metal detox has many skeptics, but it's a fact that heavy metals are highly toxic to your body and it's in your best interest to be without them. You should research more into heavy metal cleansing if you find that the brain development of your child is delayed for instance.

Natural Colon Cleansing, One of Many Fatigue Treatments
People's hectic routines these days hardly leaves any time to indulge in healthy fiber rich food. The foods a person consumes plays a vital role in their overall health, both physically and mentally. A person who fills their daily diet with foods high in fats and sugars will definitely find they don't feel as good as they did in the past. The problem of obesity is out of control in our society. It affects people of all ages and all backgrounds. Which is the result of a poor diet and a toxic body. An average person carries with them around 20 pounds of undigested fecal matter. This decaying fecal matter in your intestines is not just dangerous for your health but also leads to serious health problems like colon cancer. You can get rid of the fecal matter lining in your intestine through a natural colon cleanse. This will not only give you a good colon health but also help you eliminate fatigue and reduce some weight.
While most don't really enjoy being overweight there's a large portion of the population that refuse to take steps to change it. They simply decide to accept their physical appearance as it is. While this is an option everyone has, you simply can't push the health problems associated with a poor diet to the side. Colon cleansing is a sure shot way for relief from a large number of those health related problems. Colon cleansing helps the body prevent sickness by removing the toxins and built up waste in your colon. The common cold and flu, headaches, sinus problems, chronic fatigue, body and breath odor, and even diarrhea and constipation can be cured with a natural colon cleanse.
Poor eyesight and poor memory along with back and knee pain and even stress are best fought with a colon cleanse. Many people feel greater alertness and a rejuvenated feeling after undergoing a colon cleanse. Some people have also reported an increase in the sex drive after undergoing colon cleanse. Another common and mysterious health problem that can be corrected with a good colon cleanse is chronic fatigue. It's the result of eating so poorly you are actually causing damage to your body and your mental abilities. Establishing a healthy diet includes increasing the amount of protein that is consumed on a daily basis. This can be found in a variety of meats, poultry, and beans. Consuming the right kind of protein is important, cause too much of the wrong protein can harm your kidneys. If you don't care for such foods you may want to consider a whey protein shake instead.
While doing a colon cleanse you should work on reducing the amount of fats and sugars you consume. Replace high sugar snacks with low calorie fruits and vegetables. If you crave something sweet then dip fruits into a yogurt dip. These small changes to your diet can help you have more energy. Any cleansing diet plan should be an attempt at lifestyle changes not just something you do for a short period of time. It will take a while for your body to start reacting positive to the changes. Having a wide variety of foods and recipes will help prevent you from becoming bored with it. A clear mind and healthy body is the result of a colon cleanse. Great skin and clear attractive features are possible with natural colon cleansing.

Choosing Between All The Cleansing Detox Diets
With the new year here, there's a lot of buzz about cleansing detox diets. It seems the #1 new years resolution is to lose weight and eat healthier. By Feb. 1st all hopes and dreams of a slimmer trimmer body are dashed. That can be changed, cause cleansing your body has so many benefits. Such as reducing the stress load on the body's major filters; the liver, kidneys, lymph, colon and blood, and helping it to rid itself of accumulated wastes and garbage.
This waste and garbage causes your body to become more inefficient. This is where you constant hunger and sugar cravings come from. Even the finest of machines need maintenance. People typically cleanse the inside of the body everyday, heck...even your car gets it's dirty oil drained out every 3 months or 3,000 miles. You what can go wrong if you neglect to ever change your car's engine oil, complete engine failure. So why do the majority of people neglect or don't even consider cleansing the inside of the body. It's one type of maintenance that can have long-term benefits. Two important benefits are weight loss and relieving the stress on your immune system.
There are two basic types of cleansing:
One type focuses on one organ of the body.
The other focuses on the body as a whole.
We'll go over both types so you can decide which type suits your cleansing style.
There are two basic ways to cleanse the colon. One way often uses fiber or clay along with lots of water to create bulk. That gives the muscles of the colon more to push on and thus more waste is accumulated and moved out of the body. The other way of colon cleansing is called therapeutic hydrotherapy. This includes enemas, colonics, colon therapy and colon irrigation. A soothing flow of filtered, temperature-controlled water gently circulates through the colon, coaxing your body to eliminate stored toxins from different areas.
Skin brushing is another type of cleanse on the largest organ of the body. It's also the largest organ of elimination. Brushing the skin facilitates cleansing by stimulating the lymphatic system to get rid of toxins through the skin. It also improves circulation and removes dead skin cells and debris that clog pores. Sweating is also a good technique for eliminating toxins through the skin, so exercise and saunas are good things to do and/or use.
Your liver is the most overworked organ of the body. Because it has to filter wastes as well as produce many chemicals for the body, cleansing can reduce some of its burden. There are various recipes on this blog for a "do it yourself" flush. The lymphatic system is supposed to be the mover of cellular wastes to the blood and then to the colon, and kidneys for removal. However, it needs exercise to do its job because it has no pump, like our cardio-vascular system.
One way to stimulate the lymph and help it do its job is to jump on a rebounder or mini trampoline. Jumping rope or simply rocking back and forth in a rocker will also give some of that muscle movement necessary for the lymph to be pumped throughout the body. There is also a massage just for the lymph. I recommend that you seek a trained professional if you want a lymphatic massage. There are various products on the market that focus on cleansing right down to the cellular level. It's worth taking your time to find the right product that supports the organs of detoxification and the body as a whole. Depending on the product, this type of cleanse can go from days to months. So it's far better to do a cleanse that both cleanses and supports at the same time and is gentle on the system.
Fortunately, the human body is a self-healing machine! That's right, if you care for it, it will give you a quality life. I can't think of a better way to help your wellness goals than to cleanse. You may want to try this Easy Colon Cleanse so you can take the road back to good health.

Why You Should Consider Cleansing Parasites
Everything we eat, drink, or touch could be allowing unwanted micro-organisms to set up home inside OUR body. It’s estimated that over 150 Million Americans may have some form of harmful organism living in their body! I know this isn't the most pleasant subject, but it’s a reality. Harmful parasitic organisms affect BILLIONS of people.
Telltale signs that your internal environment is RIPE for parasite infestation!
* Lack of appetite
* Poor vision
* Itchy rectum
* Fatigue
* Intestinal malfunction
* Foul breath
* Bloating
* Yellow skin
* Sleep problems
* Poor memory

What causes unwanted parasite infections of the body?
* Environmental toxins
* Under cooked meat, fish or poultry
* Contaminated water
* Poor hygiene
* Improperly washed fruits and vegetables
* Walking outdoors barefoot
The best form of parasite prevention is to pay close attention to the causes listed above. Since most harmful organisms entrench themselves in the digestive system and colon, it makes sense to create an environment that these organisms hate.
90% of the population is estimated to have some form of harmful organism lurking in their bodies and not know it! These invaders live in and feed off the host...YOU! Depriving you of vitamins, nutrients, and amino acids, altering natural pH levels, decreasing energy levels, and creating an acidic environment within the body.
Once a person is infested, it’s not too difficult to eliminate the adult organisms. The more difficult part lies in dealing with the complete life cycle of these intruders. If you don't follow the parasite prevention list from above, you'll keep the life cycle going. Harmful organisms may be present in food or water and are more and more frequently being identified as causes of food-borne illness in the United States. The illnesses they cause can range from mild discomfort to debilitating illness and possibly even death.
Human Parasite Symptoms
* Bloating
* Foggy Memory

* Allergies
* Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
* Abdominal Cramping
* Anemia
* Candidiasis
* Coughing
* Fever
* Restlessness
* Pet Cat

What's The Deal With The Master Cleanser Detox?
The Master Cleanse Diet which is also called the lemon juice cleanse has been around for decades. It's one of the simplest ways to detox your entire body. People have seen amazing results on this diet. Chronic health problems that people have suffered with for years vanish in as little as 10 days on this amazing diet.
It shouldn't be surprising to know that people today lead toxic lifestyles. The food we eat is loaded with chemicals, the air we breathe is polluted, and our daily lives are riddled with so much stress, and anxiety that our bodies just shut down. We're poisoning ourselves from the inside. Our colon, liver, kidneys, gall bladder, and every other organ in our body are stressed out trying to deal with these toxins. Failing to adopt a healthier lifestyle could rob you of years off your life. This could also mean living a life of chronic pain, fatigue, obesity, and a plethora of other negative health problems that tend to manifest in people as they age.
The Master Cleanse Diet has been growing in popularity due to its many beneficial effects. Not only does this diet promote a healthy body, but using this diet will help the body to cleanse itself naturally. The Master Cleanse Diet works so well at cleansing your body of years of built up waste that people have reported seeing amazing things while on the cleanse. The master cleanse Diet is a fast. When you're on the master cleanse you drink a lemonade mixture that contains:
* Fresh organic lemons (They have to be fresh, and not from concentrate) * Cayenne pepper * Grade A or B all natural maple syrup (The store brand breakfast syrup contains too much sugar and should not be used for The Master Cleanse Diet or at all) * Pure filtered water (Tap water should be avoided because it contains chlorine and other non-essentials)
You should also drink 8 to 10 glasses of pure water a day on The Master Cleanse Diet, it should be filtered or distilled. There's some debate about the amount of time you should spend on the master cleanse. Some people advise staying on the cleanse for 30 days or more. I suggest you go on the Master Cleanse for 3 to 10 days. After you've done it a few times you can experiment staying on longer, but if you're a beginner it's best to stay on for no more than 10 days.
There are some myths out there about the master cleanse diet you need to know about, and how you can overcome them...
* If you want to know how to use the Master Cleanse specifically for losing weight.
If you're planning to use the master cleanse diet for weight loss there's some important steps you need to follow. Do it wrong and your metabolism will slow to crawl, and you'll gain weight the second you go back to your normal diet - Want to know a simple way to lose weight with the Master Cleanse that will keep metabolism running high and burning fat?
* You can't eat while doing the Master Cleanse Diet right? WRONG! - Do you want a list of safe foods that let you "cheat" and not have to worry about interfering with the cleansing process?
* How to get past the 3 day hump. - Getting past the first 3 days is critical, especially if you've never been on the Master Cleanse diet before. The original Master Cleanse book does not address this, but there's a way that let's your body comfortably adapt to the Master Cleanse. If this is your first time doing the Master Cleanse you'll defiantly want to use this.
* The Master Cleanse Diet is missing one thing that's vital to your health: Protein - Staying away from meat and dairy is important when you do the Master Cleanse, but going too long without feeding your body protein can be dangerous. Do you know one of the purest sources of protein that actually makes the Master Cleanse work better?!?!
* Simple steps for reducing side effects - The Master Cleanse Diet is a rapid detox that can make huge changes in your health in just a few days. You have to expect some discomfort during the cleansing process, but there are ways you can significantly reduce those troublesome side effects.

Yeast Infection Home Remidies
The yeast found in our bodies are tiny or minute organisms (candida fungus) that normally live in small numbers. Yeast overgrowth occurs when the normal levels of acid and yeast are out of balance. This overgrowth causes an uncomfortable, but not serious, condition called yeast infection. Yeast infections can occur with hormonal transformation like pregnancy, hormone therapy, antibiotics treatment, or the contraceptive pill.
Yeast infections can result in weak immune systems, degenerative conditions, and illness. Common symptoms of infection in women include: itching and irritation in the vagina redness, swelling, or itching of the vulva (the folds of skin outside the vagina)a thick, white discharge that can look like cottage cheese and is generally odorless, although it might smell like bread or yeast pain or burning when urinating or during sex.
Here's Some Yeast Infection Home Remidies:
1) Mixture of OLEUROPEIN(olive leaf extract) with grapefruit seed extraction a glass of water is a good healing tonic for this infection.
2) The essential oil tea tree oil, applied topically to the vaginal area, has shown some potential as a natural treatment for yeast.
3) Make a paste of garlic pods and apply to skin around the vagina. It may burn for a short time, but is very helpful. This paste can be used for yeast infection in other parts of the body too.
4) Regularly dabbing apple cider vinegar in the areas prone to this infection. You can add some garlic to stop the itchy sensation; and water to dilute the vinegar concentration. This is another effective natural treatment for yeast.
5) Drink at least two glasses of buttermilk a day, whether infected or not. In fact making curds as a part of the daily diet in take reduces the chance of yeast infection.
6) Curds or yogurt is considered as one of the best Yeast Infection Home Remidies. In fact, it is suggested to soak a tampon into curds and place it in the infected region for at least an hour. Basically, the bacteria from the curds replace the unhealthy yeast bacteria. This could be repeated two to three times in a day. This remedy is an effective natural treatment for yeast.
7) Boil 1 pint water and add 1 teaspoon licorice powder. Do not drink this, steep it and strain. Use the mixture as a vaginal douche.

Colon Cleansing And Weight Loss
The relationship of colon cleansing and weight loss is a real one...but you first have to ask, what kind of foods are you putting in your body right now? Everyday we tend to eat and drink contaminated food and water without even knowing it. Toxins, pollutants, chemicals and other harmful additives gets into things we consume and cause havoc in our bodies. Most foods in the Standard American Diet(SAD) are just not up to par and are made for convenience and not health. Processed meats, canned and boxed foods, frozen dinners, high-sugar corn based cereals, bleached and refined flour products, and not to mention the fast food chains. Even the 'healthy' fruits and vegetables are exposed to these contaminants, and tend to lack the vital nutrients they once had long ago.
Over time these foods slowly 'build-up' in the colon, causing your stomach to bulge. This bulge can eventually result in a prolapsed colon, which is when the upper part of the colon falls/sags down because of the weight of the waste stuck inside. This build-up also mostly accounts for the constipation, bloating, gas, and other abdominal pains. A sluggish, tired, and prolapsed colon leads to poor digestion and poor absorption of essential vitamins and nutrients. This indirectly translates to over-eating, weight gain, a bloated belly, and poor health.
Usually a healthy high-fiber diet will flush this waste out, but a natural colon cleanse made of gentle herbs will get into the pockets of the colon more thoroughly. These herbs help to break-up and flush out the toxins, fecal build-up, and unwanted pollutants. It has been reported that average weight loss after a cleanse can average 20 pounds! This depends on how backed up you are of course. The reason for the weight loss is because all the 'junk' that we eat, especially the dairy and mucus forming foods, begin to stick to the colon wall, adding unnecessary extra weight.
After colon cleansing, many people can immediately 'see' and feel the difference such as a flatter stomach or thinner waistline...not to mention more energy. Not only that, with the toxins, pollutants, and parasites removed, your body no longer has to compete for the vitamins and nutrients. This will give you increase your metabolism, burn fat faster, increases your senses, and you'll naturally eat less.
So, if you want to lose weight, don't overlook the importance of a proper colon cleansing. Go with a product that offers a simple solution through all-natural herbs that flush out the fecal build-up as well as eliminate nutrient-depleting parasites. This coupled with a healthy diet and regular exercise will more than put you on your way to a leaner figure and more enjoyable life!
