What Is a Detox Diet?

2006-12-11T15:35:00.000-08:00

What Is a Detox Diet?
Although detox diet theories have not been proven scientifically, the people who support detox diets believe that toxins don't always leave our bodies properly during the elimination of waste. Instead, they say toxins hang around in our digestive, lymph, and gastrointestinal systems as well as in our skin and hair. According to proponents of detox diets, these toxins can cause all kinds of problems, like tiredness, headaches, and nausea.

So the basic idea behind detox diets is to temporarily give up certain kinds of foods that are thought to contain toxins. The idea is to purify and purge the body of all the "bad" stuff.

Drug Addiction

2005-06-01T11:39:00.000-07:00

For those who struggle with drug addiction,don't typically set out to destroy themselves and everyone and everything in their path--rather, these disastrous consequences are the effect of the vicious cycle of addiction. Drugs seem to be a means of averting emotional and/or physical pain by providing the user with a temporary escape from or way to cope with life's realities. The irony of drug addction is, more problems are often created by using drugs. Over time, a person's ability to choose not to take drugs can become compromised. Soon enough, the person rationalizes the need to use consistently and will do anything to get high...

Conventional Wisdom!!!

2005-05-20T12:50:00.000-07:00

"it's psychosomatic . . . all in your head."
Our concept of 21st Century Health defines health as vibrant well-being, as feeling good, and having enough energy to do what you want to do. Our concept places responsibility for health maintenance, not with an HMO (health maintenance organization) or providers, but with the individual. And our concept for regaining health, either with or without the help of healthcare practitioners, incorporates a detoxification of both one's external personal environment as well as the internal.
This detoxification process will allow a cleaner personal environment (both inside and out) to be reestablished as a new basis for health. And the basic tool for accomplishing this is knowledge. It won't necessarily be genetics, or money, or social class that determines who is healthy in the 21st Century. A large part of it will be knowledge, and the individual's willingness to ACT on that knowledge. for more information on this topic visit http://www.allcare.net
