The first step is Detoxing -Part2
Vitamin TherapyAntioxidants are a way of life for people living in this age. The way the world is a progressing is a far cry from an ideal healthy environment, thus antioxidants are a necessity in the world that we live in.
Some people feel that the vitamins namely C, B and K are capable of counteracting free radicals.
These free radicals are particles that can damage or impair cells and compromise a person’s immune system. Our bodies by natural balance do contain counters to these free radicals but the cities and the environment work against us and thus it is generally believed that to give these a helping hand vitamin supplements should be taken. These vitamins act as neutralizers to these free radicals.
Cholon Therapy
This is the technique to remove toxic stool from the body and comprises of mainly water or herbs literally flushing out your system. This is also called colonics. A trained therapist is needed who literally flushes out your intestine leaving it clean and non toxic, but since this is against the natural law of the human body it can be dangerous if used frequently or improperly.
In this therapy we use a type of chemical that can successfully counter a heavy metal poisoning.
The drug ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is put into your systems intravenously so that it forms compounds with the heavy metals in our blood. Heavy metals like mercury, arsenic etc are introduced into our bloodstream by the food chain. Agents like fish etc are sometimes toxic and thus bring these into our bloodstream where they cause free radicals and damage the cells. Garlic is also used for chelating as a natural chelating agent.
Chelation therapy is not a very reliable therapy as no scientific basis exists for its effectiveness; some patients report an amazing way in the way that they feel while others do not feel a thing. Helping heart and cancer patients by chelation is also till now a scientific myth.
