Why do we need to cleanse?
We change the oil in our cars. We clean our homes. Every day we brush our teeth, and wash our hair and bodies. Yet, in our culture, little importance has been given to regular cleansing of our insides.
Every day we are exposed to toxins in the air we breath and the water we drink. Our household cleaning and personal products are filled with contaminants. The foods we eat are laced with pesticides, preservatives and chemicals. Now, more than ever we need to cleanse to help prevent disease and obtain optimal health.
Toxins are having an adverse affect on our bodies. Scientists have linked these toxins to illness and diseases including:
-Cancer
-Autoimmune disease
-Neurological disease
-Cardiovascular disease
-Lung disease
-Weakened immune system
-Fatigue
-Headaches
What methods does Dr. McReynolds recommend to cleanse and detoxify?
Cleansing and detoxification programs are determined by individual’s needs and goals. Herbs may be used to support detoxification. Often times Dr. McReynolds will often recommend a juice fast
Juice fasting is a form of fasting in which organic juice supplies live enzymes and micronutrients that further aid the cleansing process. Juices are high in minerals, vitamins and enzymes, which help to rejuvenate the body. Many people ask, “Why should I eliminate the fiber in fruits and vegetable and just drink juice?” Juice is assimilated directly into the body with minimal stimulation of digestive enzymes. By allowing the bowel to rest, energy can be used to detoxify the body. The alkalinizing properties of many juices help to neutralize acidic conditions and assist toxin release.
