Neither do they...What are the ';toxins'; people are always trying to ';cleanse'; and detox their body of?
that's the worst Best answer I have seen all day Report Abuse

THERES NOTHING TO GET....ITS THE NEW $$$$MAKING IDEA.....WATER DRINKERS ARE ENOUGH...NOT THE NEW CLEANSE CHIT THATS SOLD AND PROMISES MIRACLES.....
The greatest toxin is ones mind


and the poisonous thoughts that people manufacture in thier minds and feed themselves with
The toxins our bodies process through our kidneys and liver ARE real dangerous life threatening toxins!! It's the belief of many, some degreed physicians and respected medical doctors, that sweating can help our body's natural toxin filters ';cleanse'; ourselves of these toxins.





And so for them, the sauna is popular.





Some religions kinda get Twilight Zone out there with THEIR own metaphors of ';toxins'; and ways to ';cleanse'; people's spirits and bodies of such things; it's best to steer clear and away from such people.
When you realize how very efficient the skin is at absorbing and integrating into the body anything it comes into contact with, you might also want to take a second look at exactly what elements you're introducing to your body via your skin. Every single product that you've used during your sample morning outlined above likely contains toxic and carcinogenic elements - from your toothpaste to your deodorant. In addition, many of the products available in North America contain chemicals that have been completely banned in numerous other countries. It's beyond the scope of this article to go into exactly what each of these chemicals are and which products they're found in, but rest assured if you didn't buy all your toiletry products from a reputable health pharmacy, you're likely absorbing toxic and carcinogenic elements from every single product you use.





Then there's the supposedly healthy breakfast you ate. But what about the secondary hormones, antibiotics, and pesticide residues in the milk? Your cereal packet was likely sprayed with BHA or BHT: ';Researchers report that BHA in the diet of pregnant mice results in brain enzyme changes in their offspring including a 50 percent decreased activity in brain cholinesterase, which is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses. BHA and BHT also affect the animal's sleep, levels of aggression and weight.'; (Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide, by The Burton Goldberg Group, pg. 169)





Maybe you sweetened your cereal with Aspartame, which is banned in numerous countries and has the longest list of complaints the FDA has ever received. Then there are the pesticide residues found in the cereal itself and also on and in your apple. Your supposedly ';normal'; morning routine is beginning to look like a toxic nightmare. We have to wonder why childhood cancer rates are up several hundred percent from the 1970's. What exactly is causing all these auto-immune diseases like lupus, fibromyalgia, Crohn's, multiple sclerosis, etc? And why is it that the incidence rate of cancer in America is now 1 in 3? Could it be that between our diet, environmental pollutants, household cleansers, cookware, toiletries, water supply, synthetic materials, building materials and other supposedly ';normal'; elements, we are slowly and synergistically poisoning ourselves?





There are currently over four hundred pesticides and two thousand food additives that have been approved for use in America. Over 69 million Americans live in regions that exceed smog standards and most drinking water contains over seven hundred chemicals. As many as ten thousand chemicals enter our bodies in the form of solvents, emulsifiers and preservatives used in food processing and storage. What on earth makes us think our bodies can withstand such a chemically saturated environment without breaking down? And where do we go from here, how do we progress from feeling depressed and overwhelmed by our current toxin load to a healthier, less toxic state of being?
im gonna say drugs, alcohol, and any other chemical not found in nature, like pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, etc....





many people believe that getting rid of these things makes the body function more effectively
Not only are there drugs and alcohol, or the chemicals you can find in our environment and food, but there are the regular waste products that our bodies produce every day. Many people in our culture do not eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. They do not drink enough water or exercise enough. Our bodies are meant to cleanse themselves on a regular basis, but if we do not do the things that our bodies need most, the toxins can accumulate and our bodies cannot get rid of them properly. That's why such things as detox diets exist. These are very short-term diets whose goal is to kick start our bodies into getting rid of excess waste and toxins thereby making our bodies work better. When our bodies work better, we feel better and have more energy.
Anything harmful to the body is considered a ';toxin'; because of the word toxic. Drinking plenty of water rids many toxins out of body.
alcohol and drugs
Toxins are what your body produces but doesn't get rid of entirely by itself. For example lactic acid, which is what you muscles produce when you use them. It sits in the muscles and it is what makes you sore and stiff. There are others, too, but I am a massage therapist, so that is the one I know well.





However, here is a website that I thought was kind of informative, though they are trying to sell you something.
toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, secondhand smoke, bleach, and cleaning chemicals through the skin and metal chemicals are things that the body does not easily rid it self of.
Homocystine
the acids inside our stomach are considered toxins


there are acids that are bad,like the ones that give you heartburn,and there are acids that are good,like the ones that breakdown your food in your stomach.


cleansing them makes them into good acids
germs
Good for you being skeptical! It's all B.S. The body is quite capable of shedding what may be bad for it while at the same time has it's way of telling you what it needs--nature gave us assorted teeth to eat meat and plants--so do it and don't worry about the nitwits telling you about colon cleansing and other crap.
