Holistic Approach to Detoxification from Environmental Pollutants

or Radiation Exposure 

INFORMATION and PREPARATION 

In taking a holistic (whole) approach to detoxifying from environmental pollutants and/or radiation exposure, it is best to begin by focusing on how you are thinking and feeling. By doing this before moving on and choosing how you are going to support your body in the cellular detoxification process, you are helping to ensure the success of your program. It is essential to not allow negative thinking, confusion or fear to interfere with your process. 

• Calm, relax, and focus your mind.
• Set a clear, mindful intention as to how you will choose to create and execute your plan for detoxification and health. 
• Gather as much current and accurate information as possible. Make sure your information comes from reliable sources. Learn about the pollutants that you need to clear from your body – then begin to make your plan.
• Once you have an accurate (fact based) understanding of the problem, you can then focus your mind and energy on the solution.
• Use stress-reducing actions such as: deep breathing, yoga, meditation, prayer, massage, etc.
• Empower yourself by connecting and communicating with like minded people who share your intention of finding clear, intelligent, fearless solutions to your challenge. 

There are some important things that you can do to support your body in the process of detoxification. 

1. Alter your diet during the process to include the foods known to best support this process and omit those foods that are counter to it. We have included a suggested list of each below.
2. Determine which supplements will best support your individual needs throughout the process.
3. It is important to include a bathing routine in your plan. Remember, your skin is your body’s largest detoxification organ. 
4. Drinking ionized alkaline water is very helpful; it helps the body maintain a healthy balance during the challenges of detoxification.  Additional information is provided in the Detoxification section below.
5. Acupuncture, Qi Gong, Lymphatic Massage and/or Yoga are each very important in any successful detoxifying process. Plan to include at least one in your personal detoxification program. 

In addition:

• When caring for children and/or pets, use similar guidelines, adjusting dosage and approach where appropriate and necessary. Consult with their Pediatrician or Veterinarian. 
• Besides your body detox, it is also important to learn about the pollutants (radiation particles, mold, lead, etc.) in your home and workplace, and what steps to take. There are a number of websites that address this.
• When starting any detoxification program, be sure to consult with your health care provider to determine what is right for your individual metabolism and present state of health. One size does not fit all.
• There is no one product or combination of products or procedures that have proven to be 100% effective in all cases of toxins/pollutants/radiation exposure. What we have outlined and offer here is what we believe to be some of the best choices you can make to address the challenges of detoxifying from harmful contaminants.  
• There are a number of excellent supplements available to help with the detoxification process, but remember, more is not necessarily better. Determine the dosage of each product carefully in keeping with your body’s individual needs. 

All toxins and pollutants pose a threat, but radiation can be particularly frightening; it is a mysterious field and can be an abstract concept to us laypeople that do not have specific scientific training in this area.  For instance, did you know that Hostess Twinkies would be a better shield for neutron radiation than lead?  This is because hydrogen "catches" neutrons more readily than larger lead atoms (and Twinkies have hydrogenated oil).  Silly as that may sound, the point here is, the regular rules don't apply when it comes to radiation.  Incorrect information or half-truths can be misleading and panic inducing.    

Radioactive iodine is only ONE product of fission in a nuclear reactor, and has a short half life (8 days). Taking iodine (while a helpful part of detoxification) will ONLY protect the thyroid gland, not any other organ, and will not stop radioactive Iodine from entering and impacting other organ systems.

DETOXIFICATION ~ PRODUCTS & PROTOCOLS

Products and Supplements Taken INTERNALLY

We recommend MODIFILAN, RAD-TOX, CHLOROPHYLL COMPLEX and CHOLACOL II in terms of providing an excellent combination of important elements necessary to effectively detoxify pollutants and radiation particles from the body. To round out the list of preferred products, we also recommend Prolamine Iodine, Thyroid Complex, Ashwaganda 1:1:, Megahydrate, Vitamin C, Immune defense and several others found in the following sections.  

Modifilan: Our number one recommended supplement for detoxification from radiation, heavy metal contaminants, free radicals and toxins. Boosts the immune system. Can help protect against thyroid cancer as well as other cancers. Helps to decrease high blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Helps those who are overweight by improving the function of the gastro-intestinal tract. Improves the structure of hair and nails and helps them to grow. Also helps detoxify smokers from strontium and cadmium.

Rad-Tox: A homeopathic remedy for symptoms related to the various forms of radiation exposure (X-rays, geopathic stress, electromagnetic stress, radioactive particles, etc.). A synergistic, one-of-a-kind formula for the energetic stresses of our technology-oriented society. For the temporary relief of: Inflammation, fatigue, weakness, exhaustion, and anemia. Provides thyroid support.

Chlorophyll Complex: Supports multiple body systems: strengthens the immune system, detoxifies heavy metals, normalizes blood sugar and blood pressure, balances your body’s pH, fights cancer, protects against ultraviolet radiation and, due to its high chlorophyll content, helps detoxify the liver, bowel and bloodstream.  

Cholacol II: Our oral Bentonite Clay supplement supports the body's normal removal of toxins. Bentonite adsorbs radiation so well that it was the material used to cover the top of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after the nuclear meltdown in the former Soviet Union. In addition, it supports healthy fat digestion, is an excellent source of bile salts, and supports gallbladder function. Helps enzymes break down fats, which can help with discomfort after eating a fatty meal. Supports healthy elimination. 

Prolamine Iodine: Pure and natural. Supports healthy iodine levels. Supports proper thyroid function. Designed for use as a short-term mechanism to boost serum iodine levels. 

Thyroid Complex: Supports and maintains healthy thyroid function - important for normal energy production. The combinations of herbs in Thyroid Complex (Bladderwrack, Bacopa and Ashwaganda) contain many compounds with trace minerals, including iodine, along with polyphenols, steroidal compounds (withanolides) and triterpenoid saponins (bacosides, alkaloids and flavonoids). Together these herbs assist and support the body in adapting to physically and mentally challenging circumstances. 

Ashwaganda 1:1: Also know as “the ginseng of Ayurvedic medicine,” this versatile herb encourages a healthy response to environmental stresses. Eases the effects of temporary stress and life changes. Helps to promote an overall feeling of well-being. Supports immune response and the central nervous system in addition to supplying support to the thyroid. Promotes normal, healthy blood production. 

MegaHydrate: Highly effective in unlocking the potential of water as the optimum medium for nutrient replenishment and waste removal at the cellular level. Without proper hydration, the cells of the body cannot assimilate nutrients or get rid of toxins and waste. This powerful antioxidant will help encourage proper hydration at the cellular level.   

Therasomal Vitamin C with R-Lipoic Acid: Our unique liquid vitamin C is essential to any detoxification program because vitamin C (most effective in this form) is what the body uses for energy to process and eliminate toxins. It may also help to decrease some of the side effects of detoxification – such as headache or nausea. Vitamin C is water-soluble; therefore, it is stored close to the skin where it helps remove toxins and flush them out with urinary or bowel movements. Very effective at removing heavy metals from our system. Fights off the free radicals that form around the liver during the first phase of detoxification.       

Immune Defense (Mushroom Blend): Delivers a full spectrum of mushroom nutrients by combining mycelium, their extracellular compounds, fruiting bodies and spores. This dietary supplement combines only those species that have been researched extensively for immune support. Medicinal mushrooms offer extraordinary health benefits; they boost the immune system, help prevent cancer and cancers caused by radiation, enhance brain function, stabilize blood sugar, and protect against heart disease. Medicinal mushrooms are largely considered the "wisest" and most diverse healing plants on the planet.

Therasomal (liposomal) Glutathione: This is the most absorbable form of oral Glutathione available. Has been shown to increase blood serum levels of glutathione. It is extremely effective in removing free radicals and toxins like mercury and other heavy metals. Normally glutathione is recycled in the body -- except when the toxic load becomes too great. Glutathione is also the most critical and integral part of your detoxification system. All the toxins stick onto glutathione, which then carries them into the bile and the stool -- and out of your body. It is the master detoxifier and the body's main antioxidant, protecting our cells and making our metabolism run well.  

Products for SKIN (EXTERNAL) Detoxification

We recommend a combination of “dry skin brushing” (Google for details if needed) followed by a bath of half Epsom Salts, that you can purchase at any drug store, and half Cellular Detox Bath (see below). Body lotion and Complexion Wash provide extra help in the process.  The OxiCell and Super OxiCell creams deliver powerful ingredients through the skin and are extremely helpful in all types of detoxification. 

Cellular Detox Bath: Environmental air pollutions such as smog, traffic, pesticides, and modern chemicals form a layer of toxic particles on our skin. These harmful pollutants reduce the health and vitality of cells, leaving them vulnerable to environmental disease. Cellular Detox Bath provides a healthful way to cleanse and protect the skin with essential oils, vitamin antioxidants, and herbal detoxifiers.

OxiCell: A glutathione and superoxide dismutase antioxidant cream that also includes other synergistic ingredients. Glutathione and superoxide dismutase, considered the most powerful and vital antioxidants, are delivered via this unique liposome transport mechanism into the blood stream. Consider using OxiCell whenever antioxidants are needed, especially helpful in toxicity syndromes, inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular health, neurodegenerative conditions, and joint health.

Super OxiCell: A higher potency of OxiCell. Super OxiCell has been formulated for short-term acute inflammatory problems and severe toxic conditions. Also used to treat trauma as in strains, sprains and sports injuries.

Cellular Detox Lotion: Fights free radical damage.  Free radicals are unstable microscopic particles that have a 'free electron link' called a 'radical' that can attach itself to a cellular molecule of your skin.  Free radicals are smog and other environmental pollution particles that come from the traffic and industry of modern life.  When these particles bond to your living cells they interfere with cellular life process.  This is toxic build-up.  Cellular Detox provides a group of 'scavengers' that bond to the free electrons and neutralize them before they can bond to your cells.  The herbal formula signals detoxification processes within the cell to eliminate radicals already embedded.  Apply generously to detoxify skin exposed to city, traffic, environmental and industrial pollution.

Detox Complexion Wash: A concentrated soap-free glycolic wash that gently but deeply cleans the skin of trapped pollution buildups, imbedded oil and wax. Gentle and powerful for all types of skin, Detox Complexion Wash is a must in every detox and beauty regimen. Contains the freshness of lavender essential oil and the cleaning power of soapwort and soap yucca to detoxify, balance, and clean the skin surface without soap and detergent dryness. A little goes a long way. 

Dietary Guidelines for Detoxification Process

We recommend that while in the process of detoxifying your system you include modifying your diet as well. While it may not work for everyone to change their way of eating completely, we encourage you to do as much as possible to include the foods listed below and most importantly – omit the foods on the avoid list. Guidelines may vary some depending on what toxins and/or pollutants you are detoxifying from. The list below is designed to specifically target radiation, but can also work well with most detoxification processes.

Foods to Include:

• Sea Salt – helps accelerate the detox process
• Reishi mushrooms
• Kelp – seaweed products
• Miso soup – as in a macrobiotic diet
• Brown rice
• Green tea or black tea
• High carotene vegetables: yams, squash, carrots, swiss chard, spinach. Orange and dark green foods: sweet potatoes, winter squash, beets, kale, collards, chard.
• Brassica vegetables (cabbage family): cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, arugula, turnips, radishes, mustard greens, bok choy – these are particularly beneficial for their radio protective effects and their ability to help repair radiation damage.
• High nucleotide content foods that assist in cellular repair: liver, sardines, mackerel and anchovies
• Olive oil
• Beans & lentils
• Bananas (for potassium if needed)
• Water (consistently throughout the day)

Foods to Avoid:

• Sugar – suppresses and weakens the immune system
• Sweets (i.e. candy, soda, pastries, etc.)
• Wheat and wheat products
• Milk from cows in affected areas
• Limit alcohol and coffee intake 

Ionized Alkaline Water: Alkaline Water is a powerful antioxidant. Due to their smaller size and hexagonal shape, micro-clusters of ionized water molecules are expelled from the cells more efficiently, carrying damaging toxins out of the cells and flushing them out of the system. Ionized alkaline water is up to six times more hydrating than conventional water. One of the primary causes of disease is chronic cellular dehydration, a condition that leaves the body's cells in a perpetual state of weakness. Ionized water is very alkaline and it helps balance the body's pH, which tends to be acidic due to our diet largely comprising of cooked and pasteurized or otherwise processed foods. In addition, most liquids people today take in, such as soft drinks and coffee, are some of the most acidic substances a person can put into their body. Ionized alkaline water should be considered an essential component in any detoxification process.
