When people first learn about healing their bodies and the concept of “Detox” or Regenerative Detoxification or Cleaning your Inner Terrain, there is often a confusion about how the process works.
We often think that, if we apply certain substances to the body, then we can detox our bodies.
We get sold on this idea with people marketing Detox Drinks, Liver Cleanses, Herbs, Tonics and even the idea that various foods Detox the body.
This is simply not true.
There is nothing that can be applied to the body to detox the body.
Only the body can detox itself.
This is so important to understand.
The body takes all of the actions.
What we can do is put the conditions in place to lift enough burden from the body that the body is able to initiate the detoxification mechanisms.
This is where returning to the biologically appropriate diet for your species comes in.
This is why Fruits and Greens lead to healing.
Not because the Fruits and Greens are detoxifying the body, but because they are putting the conditions in place for the body to heal itself.
Fruits lead to detox but do not create detox.
Fruits are removing the burden of digesting heavy slow digesting foods which drains our energy.
Fruits are high in water content, allowing the body to hydrate the dry lymph fluids (our bodies sewer system).
Fruits leave no additional waste for the body to clean up after.
Fruits provide clean essential sugars to fuel every bodily process.
Fruits create a positive energy balance. Giving more energy than they take away.
This is also why Water Fasting is such a powerful tool in healing. When we water fast, when we abstain from all food for an extended period, the body is able to shift all energy from digestion to healing. Every ounce of energy that was being put into the massive digestion system is shifted to cleaning and repair.
Healing is all about energy. 
“Life should be built on the conservation of energy.” – Herbert Shelton
Each detox process the body initiates drains our nerve energy. Each digestion process also drains our nerve energy. Each toxin we ingest drains our nerve energy. We have a finite amount of energy available in our lifetimes. If we continuously drain this energy by misfeeding ourselves on toxins, difficult to digest high protein foods, foods that deposit a lot of waste or keeping our bodies in a state of constant stress with stimulant foods and beverages and stressful lifestyle choices, then we run down our energy banks and the body cannot gather enough energy to run a detox process.
If we put in harmacuetical drugs or natural remedies and even spices and “medicinal foods” like garlic, honey, ginger or turmeric, we are adding to the bodies burden. These foods and drugs which stop the cleaning symptoms are not helping our health. They are damaging our health. They are adding to the burden on the body and draining our energy tank.
If a product is used to stop pain, stop inflammation, stop a cold or a flu then you know this product is harming your health, not helping it. Pain, inflammation, colds, flus, expulsion symptoms, rashes are all the body ridding itself of waste. Using that precious nerve energy to detoxify your body.
When we stop these processes we not only add more waste burden to our bodies AND stop the body from ridding the waste it was just eliminating, BUT WE ALSO sacrifice that nerve energy that the body worked so hard to store up.
Think of each decision as an addition or subtraction of your precious finite time. Each meal, each remedy, each drug is a drain, a subtraction of that time.
Some subtractions are unavoidable, we live in a toxic world. But most are avoidable and should be saved for when the body needs to create a detox program.
So choose those foods which help put the conditions into place to allow the body to clean and heal.
Avoid those products which are marketed as detoxing your body, because only your body can detox itself. Take some solid food vacations from time to time (Juice feasting or Water Fasting). Eat your biologically appropriate foods, Fruits and leafy greens. Avoid those foods which take many hours to digest and steal your precious energy stores.
You are an energetic being.
You are a miraculous, self healing machine.
Learn how to put the conditions into place for your body to heal itself.
