3 Detoxification Methods to Consider

Before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries, the human body was 
usually adept at naturally eliminating toxins like heavy metals and radiation absorbed 
through the environment and diet. However, along with all of its modern conveniences, 
industrialization introduced heavy metals into the environment through the air, soil, 
water and food supply. The recent tech boom of the 20th and 21st centuries has 
compounded the toxic burden by exposing the population to excessive radiation from 
cell phone towers and the use of technology equipment. 

Signs of toxicity include fatigue, headache, muscle aches and digestive disturbances. 
Aside from the physical discomforts, toxicity can lead to disease states like cancer, 
Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. 

In addition to eating a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients, detox 
methods can help to facilitate the body's attempt to remove harmful toxic overload so 
prevalent in an industrialized world.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Detox

Hyperbaric Oxygen Detox may not be as well-known as other detoxification methods 
but the benefits are substantial. Often used as a primary treatment for stroke and other 
brain oxygen-deprived conditions, oxygen therapy used for detoxification

decreases yeast and bacterial concentrations in the gastrointestinal system
improves immune and autoimmune system optimizing toxin elimination
decreases inflammatory biochemicals by way of aiding antioxidant enzymes 

Oxygen therapy's core toxin elimination benefit is based on reducing inflammation which 
allows the body to naturally release harmful toxins and chemicals stored in the body's 
cells. Additional healthful benefits include 

increased production of bone marrow stem cells for healthy blood production
an increase in serotonin production which may reduce stress levels by elevating mood 
and contributing to a sense of well-being
improved skin collagen production for healthy tendons and joints 

Chelation Detox

Chelation detoxification utilizes agents that bind to toxins which are removed during 
fecal elimination. Chelation Therapy, a treatment offered by conventional medical 
practitioners, utilizes the synthetic amino acid EDTA, or ethylene diamine tetra-acetic 
acid in a medical setting. The chelating agent is administered through an intravenous 
solution during several sessions and has been effective for removing heavy metals and 
other toxins. 

Oral Chelation can be done without medical intervention as certain foods incorporated 
into the diet eliminate these harmful toxins as well. Natural chelating foods that can 
easily be included in a healthy diet are foods rich in Sulphur like:

eggs
garlic
onions
flaxseed
kale

Pectin-rich foods are also powerful chelators and include :

apples
cabbage
carrots
beets
oranges
okra

Bentonite Clay Detox

Bentonite clay, a natural volcanic ash, is highly effective for neutralizing and killing toxic 
gut bacteria and viruses. Its powerful ability as a binding agent is equally effective for 
heavy metal and radiation detox. The clay's superior binding ability relies on its highly 
negative ionic charge. When the clay comes into proximity of positive ionic charged 
molecules, the clay surrounds and absorbs the offensive molecules, cuts them off from 
their supply of energy and carries them out of the body during elimination. 

Bentonite clay detox includes internal and external detoxification like:

Ingesting the clay mixed with a carrier like water or juice to detoxify the gut
Applying the clay externally with a paste made from clay and a liquid such as purified 
water or apple cider vinegar 
Soaking in a bath of diluted clay and water with essential oils
