Natural Body Cleanse: The Key to Jumpstarting Weight Loss and Whole Health

I am a nutritionist who has been trained in both traditional and alternative nutrition. This is why I am aptly named the Rogue Dietitian. You see, when I finished my Master's Degree and worked for several years as a Registered Dietitian, I quickly became disenchanted with my profession. All I saw were people, who even with my advice, got sicker and sicker and, yes I'll dare say it, heavier and heavier. I knew that there had to be a different and better way.

I started doing lots of research into alternative medicine and nutrition. After all, nutrition is the cornerstone to vibrant health. It is not the only piece in the puzzle but it is a big part of why everyone is so sick, even small children.

Think about it. During your childhood, did you know anyone with autism, allergies to wheat, dairy, nuts etc., attention deficit disorder? I didn't think so.

Sickness is out of control!

Unfortunately, only a select few know the keys to whole health.

Notice how I said keys, not key. There are many pieces to the puzzle of superb health. Your body is a first-class machine. But like any machine it has limitations. Treat it wrong and you will crash and burn.

Here is one of the reasons that almost everyone is struggling with their health.

Your body is toxic and in need of a natural body cleanse.

Did you know that since 1930, there has been more than 75,000 synthetic chemicals that have been introduced into our environment?

The really scary thing is that when these synthetic chemicals meet in water and sunlight, a new totally unexpected compound can be formed. So, we really have no idea how many of these synthetic compounds can be found in our environment.

So what, if these chemicals are floating around in the air that you breathe and the water that you drink?

Only about 7% of the known chemicals have been tested in adults and only 3% have been tested in humans. And we really have no idea what effect most of these chemicals will have on your body!

How do you know that they are in your body?

In 2001, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tested people from around the world to see if these toxic chemicals could be found in their blood. The results of this study found that 100% of the 27 toxins tested were found in 100% of the people tested.

Here are just a few of the sources of contamination found in your drinking water:

• old lead pipes
• industrial pollution leaching into the ground water
• TTHM, trihalomethanes, a by-product of chlorine combined with organic matter found in water
• pharmaceutical drugs that cannot be removed by sewage treatment plants including antibiotics, antidepressants. chemotherapy, birth control, pain killers etc.

Most people would agree that you are what you eat. So food in its present state is another key to the puzzle of whole wellness and why your body may not be doing the job of removing toxins effectively.

• Our soil today is depleted of most minerals. This is due to the fact that industrial fertilizers contain only nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Each of these is important and enable plants to grow but are lacking key minerals and trace elements.
• Most fruits and vegetables are picked green so they will have a longer shipping and shelf life. It is at peak ripeness that a fruit or veggie has the highest vitamin content. Even organically grown produce may be picked green.
  
  

  Consider this. You must eat 53 peaches today to meet the RDA for Vitamin A compared to 2 peaches in 1951.

• In addition, most people process their food using various heat methods which can further deplete nutrient value as much as 90%. Eating raw fruits and vegetables in their raw state is best.
• 90% of Americans do not eat the 10-12 servings of fruits and vegetables recommended by the USDA.
  
• Most of the fruits and veggies you are eating are part of the industrial complex that uses tons of pesticides and herbicides. These poisonous chemicals make their way into your body when you eat produce.
  
• Genetically modified foods (GMOs), including things like high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), have no long term studies using these man made chemicals . Nor are there any safety studies. One thing that makes the safety of these foods suspect is that some of the most allergenic foods are also the most genetically modified. (corn, soy and wheat)
• Meats, fish and poultry are raised using growth hormones and diets that are not natural for the animal resulting in very unhealthy protein that is not good for you either.
• The use of artificial sweeteners like nutrasweet (aspartame), sucralose, etc.and msg (monosodium glutamate) act like neurotoxins causing damage or death to nerve cells.

In spite of spending more money on health care than any other country in the world, the U.S. health status was rated 37th in the world. Yet we consume more than half of all the drugs that are produced in the world. Our population does not represent one-half of the world's population.

Drugs, though needed in some cases, do not bring about whole health. In fact, in many cases, the side effects result in worst health.

Give your body what it needs including a healthy diet and whole food nutritional supplements and do a natural whole body cleanse twice per year and then you will go far in improving your health.
