CHAPTER ONE:

THE TRUTH ABOUT TOXINS

Toxins are all over the place. To completely avoid them is both impractical and impossible. Shampoos, perfumes, plastic water bottles, pesticides in food . . . Wherever you turn there’s a myriad of chemicals waiting to enter your body. The result is that this unnatural way of living throws a far bigger toxic toll on us than our organs were meant to handle.

The problem is not that our detoxifying organs can’t do their job well, but that they’re given far too much work and they can’t completely keep up!

This is the moment when all those itches, aches, and discomforts start appearing, externalizing the fact that toxins have set camp in our bodies.

TOXIC OVERLOAD

Do you always feel like something is wrong in your body yet you can’t pinpoint the cause? Do you feel lousy or unbalanced in any way more often than you would like to? If you feel anything but splendid most of the time, your body could be waving its hands high in the air, trying to tell you that it’s overwhelmed with your highly toxic lifestyle. (Even if you don’t suspect you have a highly toxic lifestyle. By the way, most people do.)

Such symptoms may include:

   Bad digestion

   Chronic fatigue

   Headaches

   Mood swings and depression

   Coated tongue

   Irritable bowel

   Yellow spots on your skin

   Overheating and excessive perspiration

   Acne

   Fat around the
