Totally awesome Storm! If we all did this, then everyone`s health would be alot better and save money on health costs as well.

#1 - washing with water does not remove pesticides. You need to use something such as grapefruit seed extract or a fruit & vegetable wash which contains some sort of citricidal agent. As well, some fruits (all berries) are sprayed from the time they are sprouting seeds, so washing the fruit will not remove the pesticides. They are inside!! Eat organic!!
#2 Plastic-- I have eliminated as much plastic as is possibly feasible from my home. Plastics create xenoestrogens. These are bad estrogens which CAUSE CANCER. Ever wondered why more men are getting BREAST CANCER? That's why. I know it's impossible to eliminate all plastic from your life but we can get rid of a lot of it.
#3. Lead is a problem and for those of us who are older and have used the leaded gasoline and perhaps lived in houses with leaded paint, chelation therapy works to remove heavy metals. This can be done either IV or with pills. Some experts will say that the pills don't work but I've had clients tell me that after three months of using the chelation capsules, they have had their blood tested and found the metals have lessened, so if cost is an issue (as the IV therapy can be costly), try the pills (EDTA).
#4. Tampons. Good advice but what has this got to do with detoxing?
#5. Alcohol in moderation. Depends on what you're drinking, I guess. Red wine has certain benefits when consumed in moderation. We have to enjoy life, don't we, so if you are inclined to have a glass of vino with your meal, then why not? Just don't overdo.
#6. Good old fashioned glycerine soap works just as well. Why do we need alcohol based soaps??
#7. Our liver is a work horse. Take care of it. There are other ways of treating pain. Turmeric, white willow (originally where aspirin came from), keeping an alkaline body, deep breathing, chiropractic. Pain pills such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen are greatly overused, much to the detriment of our livers.
#8. Flame retardants are actually the #1 toxic component found in the blood of newborn babies!!! What does that tell us?????
#9. This is a given. Anyone who doesn't agree with this is not living in reality.
#10. Great advice.
#11. I agree with this except for the sushi part. How do you know for sure if the fish you're getting is really fresh and clean? Let's face it, raw fish has parasites. Period. End of story.
#12. OK, this makes sense.

Now, let's get down to the nitty gritty. Detoxing your body is about eating clean food - food from the earth, without pesticides, animals that have been grass fed, treated well, allowed to roam, staying away from junk food of all kind, and cleansing your system periodically. You wouldn't keep a car for 5-10 years without having the oil changed and having it serviced regularly, would you? And yet people don't think about cleaning the insides of our bodies. In this world we live in with eating fast food, cakes, cookies, french fries, sodas, and the list goes on and on, don't you think you need to help the body get rid of that stuff? Our bodies were not meant to eat transfats and processed foods. As well, we are exposed to so many chemicals and hormones, etc. that our bodies are overloaded. No wonder the cancer rates have increased in the last 50 years. Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox. Doing a full body cleanse, liver cleanse, kidney cleanse, fasting periodically, getting rid of plastics, and good clean living will help keep the doctor away, not just that apple we've all heard about.
