Optimal Detox: How to Cleanse Your Body of Colloidal and Crystalline Toxins
by Christopher Vasey, N.D. —
The lasting benefits of detoxification and internal cleanses are becoming well-known and accepted, in part because these practices are more vital than ever for optimal health and longevity and in the fight against environmental and dietary toxins.
Vasey shows how accumulation of toxins is the primary cause of illness and how the key to successful detoxification is identifying the type of toxin — either colloidal or crystalline — polluting your biological terrain.
He explains how colloidal toxins hinder circulation and organ function, while crystals move around the body damaging tissues and causing lesions and pain.
Left unchecked, these toxins can form stones, such as gallstones or kidney stones. Beyond finding the cause of an illness, the most important reason to correctly diagnose your type of toxin is to ensure that you choose the most effective method of detoxification and stimulate the appropriate excretory organ — liver, intestines, kidneys, lungs or skin.
For example, those who are seeking to purge their system of crystals should increase fluid intake to stimulate the kidneys rather than encourage bile production, because crystals cannot be expelled via the liver.
With clear, practical instructions, Vasey explains how to identify which type of toxin is triggering your illness and which medicinal herbs, hydrotherapy techniques or nutritional options are the best choice for a specific condition or a combination of ailments.
He reveals which foods produce colloidal and crystalline toxins and thus should be avoided.
This targeted method of detoxification can enable you to cleanse your body of accumulated toxins safely, accurately and successfully.
