Overview -- Toxin Flow

In Alternative health the Toxin theory of disease provides the basis for explaining the process of disease. This is in direct opposition to the Germ theory of disease which is so paramount in Standard medicine.

Toxins are deemed to be causal of disease. Toxins originate naturally from within our body, and also unnecessarily from the environment, our body-care products or from our foods. They typically enter our bodies via our breathing, the skin, or our diet and, once within the body, interfere with biological processes. When the load of toxins entering the body exceeds our ability to remove them then illness results. Illness will also result if small amounts of toxin become embedded within tissue resulting in disruption of local biological process.

Toxins enter the body, they remain within the body, and they are removed by the body.

Within the Body

Toxins are eliminated through the normal functions of cells, tissues, and organs.

• Holistic foods assist the body in health restoration by assuring body parts are built with the best possible materials. Plastic, refined fats (hydrogenated oil, margarine, modified oils, clear vegetable oils) are the body's single greatest health impediment causing cells, organs and tissues to perform outside of nature's design criteria hence promoting ill-health especially vascular and heart disease.
  
• Herbal medicine promotes certain aspects of the body to perform more efficiently. A good herbal practitioner will identify where particular cells, organs, or tissues are struggling within a body. The herbalist will work to both help their function and reduce the cause of their ills through proper herbal selection.
  
• Spirituality enhances healthful body functioning. The mind-body connection is well proven even by allopathic standards. The ability to be joyful and positive is not yet taught at Arcady Holistic but encouragement toward this end is fully supported.
  

Toxin Exit

• LUNGS
  • Aerobics

    Not a service offered here; however, brisk walking outdoors will aid in volatile-element toxin removal.

• BOWEL
  • Juice fasting

    Loosens and mobilizes toxins from long-term fat reserves. We strongly encourage individuals with chronic illnesses to begin a series of juice fasts (with supportive herbal medicine). Fasting also rests the bowel and it allows it to completely replace diseased cells after just five or six days. Supervision, counsel, and advice available.

  • Colonics

    Cleanse your bowel. Remove morbid matter. Fat-soluble toxins are conjugated in the liver and released into the bowels.

• SKIN
  • Sauna therapy

    Mass elimination of systemic water-soluble toxins through the skin. Sauna therapy is one of the back-bone building blocks to a toxin elimination program.

• KIDNEYS
  • Juice & water therapy

    Fresh vegetable juices naturally draw heavy-metal toxins from the body, and restore vital minerals and vitamins. This is chelation therapy done holistically. Increased water intake helps continually flush fast-loosened water-soluble toxins from the body.
