Modern Detox Manifesto
Natural Detox Solutions For The Modern Era
Philosophy Of Detox
We’re living in a world where there are all sorts of influences on your health. Whether it's eating something you know you shouldn’t have consumed, or you’re unsure about the side effects from a medication you just had. This guide is designed to cover everything and anything that you consume.
Whether consumed deliberately or not, your body needs to detox. Detoxes range from mild to hard and will literally remove hard toxins from your body. Doing so regularly will help you feel better and more confident in your overall health.
The guide here is written carefully to assist friends and family while also mindful of people’s choices. Everyone has their own unique set of beliefs. Rather than imposing beliefs, we have a choice to be of service.
The truth is there are many ways your body could react, whether it’s consuming excess meat, dairy, and sugar or having side effects. I’m not going to go into root causes but rather present options that will assist with detox.
Hard Detox
Pine Needles
“Remember, the storm is a good opportunity for the pine and the cypress to show their strength and their stability.”
— Ho Chi Minh
A simple and powerful approach to an immunity detox is to consume pine needles every day in tea, syrup, tincture and vinegar. Pine needles have significant amounts of vitamin C, A, and antioxidants. These will give you a necessary immune boost that supports overall health and well-being.
The indigenous have been consuming pine needle tea as a decongestant. The natives taught American settlers how to use pine needles to stay healthy. The vitamins and antioxidants prevent oxidative stress and minimize free radical damage at the cellular level.
Since the middle ages, pine needle has been used to clear out lung infections and externally draw out any toxins or objects embedded into the skin (Wood, 2009). Pine needles can help the body excrete mucus and phlegm, an essential response for cleansing your body from toxins.
Many have found relief in the clearing of sinuses and sinus-related headaches. Studies show that the decongestant nature of pine needle tea eliminates bacteria and any pathogens living in your body.
The powerful and active compound in pine needles is pinene, which prevents the growth of microorganisms. Pinene also has an anti-inflammatory effect, is a bronchodilator (opens airways), reduces anxiety, and gives pain relief. Pinene is also known for its benefits in many cannabis strains.
Some additional players include terpinene, camphene and limonene. These hold anti-viral properties. Studies prove that these three compounds reduce viral activity significantly. While there isn’t supporting evidence, pine needle is emerging as a go-to preventative for covid.
Pine needles are also a host to chemical compounds such as proanthocyanidins, studied as a preventative to cancer. The antiseptic characteristics of pine needles also support a speedy recovery.
Pine needles also contain terpenes, which are found in plants such as cannabis and lavender. These produce a specific smell that protects the plant’s immune system from cellular damage and encourages repair.
Pine needles also contain myrcene, which too is abundant in cannabis strains and is responsible for its calming effects. Myrcene also makes a great sleep aid.
Pine needles also carry several vital essential minerals that include iron, calcium, phosphorous, and potassium.
Sauna Sweat Cleanse
“The skin is an important organ of detoxification and elimination.”
— Mark Sircus Ac., OMD
Whether you are using a traditional or infra-red sauna, they are a phenomenal way to eliminate toxins through your sweat glands. With rising body temperature, the sweat glands help remove mercury, lead, copper, zinc, nickel and other chemicals that your body takes in from the environment.
Dr. Dietrich Klinghard, one of the founding fathers of chelation therapy, explains that infra-red saunas are excellent for a heavy metal detox protocol. This approach would neutralize specific toxins such as mercury in deep tissues up to 3 inches.
Most of your sweat is water (up to 85%). However, the rest include heavy metals, cholesterol, sulfuric acid, ammonia, and uric acid. Regularly detoxing through sweating will ensure you are keeping harmful toxins out of your body.
This is critical to understand. Mark Sircus explains that if these toxins are not eliminated, they are reabsorbed into our bodies through a recycling process. Our body is always looking for an exit route to remove such toxins, and the sauna can offer a fast and efficient way of doing so.
Bentonite Clay
For thousands of years, clay has been used with the sauna to support the removal of toxins. Given its drawing and suction power, regularly applying bentonite clay to your skin with a sauna routine can enhance the process of removing toxins by sticking to their molecules and ions.
Liposomal Glutathione
The heat from a sauna allows toxins to reintroduce toxins, which can increase oxidative stress. A teaspoon of liposomal glutathione before and after going into an infra-red sauna (400mg twice a day) will prevent oxidative damage as it hosts many antioxidants.
Liposomal glutathione also supports the release of toxic compounds from your liver at a deep cellular level. The glutathione system itself is a naturally occurring process within the body.
Niacin Flushing
Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) is often used as a part of an advanced detoxification protocol involving infrared saunas. Niacin will initiate flushing that increases blood flow to your liver and kidneys. The process for this is not for everyone and should be consulted with an expert in any situation.
Vitamins & Minerals
Throughout any detoxification process, an abundance of replenishment will be necessary. These include electrolytes, vitamins and minerals that should have plenty of vitamin A, E, C, D, & K. Daily multivitamins provide great support. Our company, NutriRise, also has a highly absorbable K2D3 that gives 5000IU support.
Maintenance Detox
Chlorella & Spirulina
I’ve always been a big proponent of anything that comes from seaweed, and two specific forms, chlorella and spirulina, have emerged as an excellent solution for a regular detox.
Chlorella itself is extremely helpful in eliminating mercury from your body. Mercury itself is harmful to the body and is easily consumed by fish.
We’re also finding that chlorella is effective in detoxing heavy metals out of your body. Making it also a powerful defence for any radiation and any other environmental factors.
Spirulina supports your detox and accelerates the process. It does so by alkalizing your body, which boosts your liver and kidney functions—two critical organs in assisting with detox.
The superfood also has a powerful nutritional profile. Just 100 grams contains 146% of your daily value of iron, 48% of magnesium, 20% of vitamin B6, 16% of vitamin C and 12% of calcium.
It's fairly easy to add both spirulina and chlorella to your diet; they are available organic in most places in powder and tablets.
Seaweed Complex
Seaweeds come in a variety of forms, with all sorts of benefits. Some of the important benefits of detox include:
- They are rich in iodine and other minerals. This helps the liver and kidneys to release toxins.
- Seaweeds are rich in chlorophyll, which purify the blood and your body’s lymphatic system. This is essential because your organs transport blood all over the body.
- Seaweeds hold bioactive compounds that are not found in plants grown on land. This is huge for building protection against radiation, heavy metals, pollutants, and free radicals.
- Seaweeds are also potent in anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-parasitic properties. These properties combined with antioxidants will prevent free radical damage and boost liver health.
- Seaweeds like Irish Moss contain dietary fibres that increase the “good bacteria” in your gut and have a gentle laxative effect of eliminating waste from your body.
Our company, NutriRise, has formulated a powerful seaweed complex that has certified organic seaweed that includes Irish moss, burdock root, and bladderwrack. I take 3 capsules every day, and the product itself has helped me make sure I’m getting enough potency every day.
Colon Cleanse
Another important aspect in detoxing is ensuring you’re giving necessary support to the digestive tract to do what it's supposed to do, eliminate toxins. Encouraging your bowels to regulate more frequently will improve metabolism and encourage a better microbiome in your body.
Our best-selling 15 Day Colon Cleanse Supplement gives you everything you need to have this level of support. With powerful ingredients that include psyllium husk, flaxseeds, aloe vera, senna leaf, you’re able to flush out toxins in the most natural way possible.
We’ve also included lactobacillus acidophilus probiotics to help build a strong foundation for your gut bacteria.
