Detoxing helps get rid of body's many stresses

metronews: lifestyle: "We are constantly exposed to external toxins. Our bodies are burdened with drug residues. Chemicals and heavy metals such as mercury have infected our air, water, and food. Low-level electromagnetic radiation fields - coming from microwaves, televisions, radios, electrical outlets and power lines - surround us in and outside of our homes.
Even our metabolism, especially when we eat high-protein foods, naturally generates toxic by-products. When wastes such as uric acid gradually accumulate in our tissues, our bodies' pH levels become too acidic, which contributes to aging and numerous chronic illnesses. 'Our bodies and organs are always engaged in the process of detoxing,' says Rahima Hirji, ND and manager of the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic. 'A detox program helps de-stress the body by supporting its attempts to expel its toxic burden.'
Detoxes may target specific organs and systems, such as the liver, gallbladder, bowels, kidneys, skin, respiratory and cardiovascular system. For chemical or heavy metal detoxification, the whole body will be targeted.
Detoxification can be especially beneficial for people with weak immune systems, fatigue, chronic symptoms (e.g. headache, sinusitis, arthritis), bad breath, gallstones, poor digestion, hormone imbalance, skin problems, allergies, depression, memory problems, fibromyalgia, occupational chemical exposure and amalgam fillings."
