CHAPTER 38. BENEFITS OF SELF-DETOXIFICATION

Repair happens only when your body is free from toxins.

Toxins build up in the body when the body's natural detoxification processes are overwhelmed. This can happen due to a number of factors, including unhealthy diet, environmental exposure, and lifestyle choices.

Just like every machine accumulates wastes everyday, our body also accumulates wastes every moment. A regular cleansing is necessary to remove these wastes. Else, the body breaks down with the load of the wastes and get sick. This is one of the most important reason for explosion of lifestyle diseases in recent years.

Detoxification is not a new phenomenon. Many traditional practices like fasting, oil bath, proscription, seasonal dietary practices etc were aimed at eliminating as well as preventing the accumulation of toxins in our body.

Sources of toxins for our body are:

Food and water: Consuming contaminated food or water, or drinking from plastic or Styrofoam containers
Air: Breathing in polluted air
Products: Using products that contain chemicals, such as soaps, shampoos, deodorants, cosmetics, and sunscreens
Lifestyle: Smoking, drinking alcohol, and stress
Electromagnetic frequencies: Exposure to electromagnetic frequencies

Symptoms of toxin accumulation

Fatigue
Acne or rashes
Constipation
Aches and pains
Joint inflammation
Gut permeability
Mast cell overreaction
Histamine responses
Low immunity
Frequent minor illnesses
Lifestyle diseases

After trying, experimenting and exploring many ways, we found out the minimal practically feasible, easy to do home-based detoxification of our body. Castor oil is one of the main component of this method. This method is so effective that we started providing genuine castor oils for our clients. Hundreds of people detoxified and have healed from chronic lifestyle diseases.

Home based detoxification involves 3 simple steps:

1. Using Castor Oil : For preventing diseases, every week, once, drink 20 ml of castor oil. Stay home. You will get motions few times. This completely evacuates the digestive system. If you have diseases, taking 5 ml castor oil daily night with dinner for months is useful.

4 rules for using castor oil

a. Always use hexane free, authentic, unrefined castor oil.

b. Castor oil can be easily extracted at home. Learn to do it yourself.

c. Store castor oil in a dry and dark place.
