Consider these statistics on modern-day environmental poisons, and you'll see why detoxification is critical for your long-term well-being:

Mankind has invented no fewer than 10 million new chemicals, approximately 3,500 of which are in your food, with an equal number in your homes and household products.

Since World War II, nearly 80,000 new synthetic chemicals have been released into the environment.

In the U.S. alone, over 4 billion pounds of pesticides are used every year, which translates to eight pounds for every man, woman and child.

The average home contains 3-10 gallons of hazardous materials.

There are at least 5,000 chemical ingredients in cosmetics.

A just-completed Associated Press investigation found a vast array of pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers, and sex hormones, in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans.

Detectable levels of dozens of long-lasting synthetic chemicals, such as DDT, plasticizers, dioxins, benzene-related solvents are found in tissues of all living things on earth. 

Roughly 300 known harmful substances can be found in most blood samples taken these days.

The toxic overload you face each day can create havoc in every part of your body, from your digestive system, to your mental processes, and beyond. And, much like a car, your body needs to be cleaned and tuned in order to remove the accumulated toxic sludge and revitalize its natural detoxifying systems. Only then can it reuturn to running smoothly on all cylinders.

Proper detoxification can help remove toxins--whether they originate from inside or outside of your body--and will help replenish your energy levels, keep your mind sharp, improve your digestion and sleep, return a healthy glow to your skin, and most importantly, promote long-term health and well-being.

For a truly successful cleansing, you need to address every major avenue of detoxification in your body, including your gallbladder, digestive system, liver, kidney, urinary tract, skin, lymph system, and lungs. This is absolutely critical not only because each detoxification step focuses on an important body system, but also because each step leverages the health benefits you recieve from all the other detoxification steps you take.

One of the ways the liver deals with impurities is to increase body fat to enfold these impurities and protect the body from their influence. Diets are not successful for long term weight loss because they don't address the need to cleanse the body of impurities.

The overweight person has impurities that are stored in fat to protect the body. Dieting leads to a smaller body, but an increased percentage of impurities. The result is REBOUND - the body goes into emergency fat production and the person gains back weight loss (and often gains more weight).

Individuals who are overweight has stored impurities in their body fat, when cleansing is accomplished, impurities are released from health  the body. The result - NO REBOUND and better overall health with less fat and more lean muscle.
