Toxic Twentieth Century, What Can We Do? By Camry James At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Polluted Human Body
The human body becomes toxic or polluted from both external (exogenous) sources and internal (endogenous) sources. The most common external pathways of toxicity are from inhalation (smoking, air pollution, dental amalgam fillings, sick buildings), ingestion (chemical residues on food, chemicals in water, drugs) injection (vaccinations, flu shots, tattoos), absorption from chemicals from synthetic fabrics, paints, plastics, pesticides and chemical fertilizers sprayed on lawns, and irradiation from medical x-rays, nuclear power plants, bomb testing, uranium mine tailings, cell phones and towers, computer monitors and televisions, microwave ovens, and power grid and radio and satellite transmissions. The modern way of life has not only made our life easier, but has also put our very existence in danger, danger from radiation and pollution.

Damage To Our Immune Systems
The internal sources of toxicity are from fermentation, putrification, and rancidity from undigested foods consumed, and from dehydration, malnutrition, and toxic thoughts and emotions. This endogenous toxicity can also be caused from the effects of exogenous toxins contributing to malnutrition, and inhibition of digestion through damage to the nervous system, immune system, and enzyme systems. With that, we have to take all measures to detoxify.

What is Detoxification?
Detoxification is the process of clearing toxins from the body or neutralizing or transforming them, and clearing excess mucus and congestion. Many of these toxins come from our diet, drug use, and environmental exposure, both acute and chronic. Internally, fats, especially oxidized fats and cholesterol, free radicals, and other irritating molecules act as toxins. Poor digestion, colon sluggishness and dysfunction, reduced liver function, and poor elimination through the kidneys, respiratory tract, and skin all add to increased toxicity. However the most efficient detoxification organ we have is our skin. Our skin contains millions of pores which are equipped to flush out toxins. Flushing out toxins has never been easier with Sauna Therapy!

Symptoms of Being Too Toxic
Constipation and diarrhea, are also indications of foul matter in your intestines. Furthermore, the much more serious problems of cancer and immune system dysfunctions begin with a toxic bowel. Go ahead, purge those foul matter out of your body!

Once we truly understand that the "single greatest challenge our bodies face is the effective removal of wastes and toxins", we will never again undermine the importance of frequent bowel movements. Do consult with your doctor if you do decide to take any form of laxatives.

Toxic Twentieth Century
Toxicity is of much greater concern in the twentieth century than ever before. There are many new and stronger chemicals, air and water pollution, radiation and nuclear power. We ingest new chemicals, use more drugs of all kinds, eat more sugar and refined foods, and daily abuse ourselves with various stimulants and sedatives. The incidence of many toxicity diseases has increased as well. Cancer and cardiovascular disease are two of the main ones. Our body just can no longer cope with all the toxins around us any longer!

Arthritis, allergies, obesity, and many skin problems are others. In addition, a wide range of symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, pains, coughs, gastrointestinal problems, and problems from immune weakness, can all be related to toxicity.

Flushing Out Toxins
However, we now have a great way of detoxifying by using our main detox organ, which is our skin. Yes, sweating has proven to release more toxins than frequent bowel movement! Your sweat contains more toxins, urea and heavy metal than urine itself. One great way of sweating out all the toxins is by going through sauna therapy. The heat from the sauna forces your body to pump out all the toxins stored within into your sweat system and thus flushes out all the toxins from your body!

So what are you waiting for? Head to your nearest Sauna! Or better yet, get your very own personal sauna.
