The wikipedia definition of detoxification "is the physiological or medicinal removal of toxic substances from a living organism, including, but not limited to, the human body."

Why is it important for us and our children to detoxify?

In 1974 the World Health Organisation made the following statement: "82% of All Chronic Degenerative Diseases are Caused by Environmental Exposure to toxic metals." that was over 30 years ago, our world has become far more polluted/toxic since then, every day we are exposed to hundreds of toxic metals and chemicals, such as mercury, arsenic, lead, herbicides, pesticides etc.

An accumulation of these poisons in our organs and tissues cause a host of problems including neurological disorders, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and can lead to autoimmune disorders as well as other chronic conditions.

Heavy metal ions produce large quantities of free radical compounds which destroy lipids, proteins and DNA in the cellular system. This compromises the function of the central nervous system, immune system, cardiovascular system and all organs of the body. Heavy metals cause the body to produce cholestrol and prevent the absorption of calcium causing a buildup of calcium in the arteries.

Chelation Therapies

Traditionally heavy metals are removed from the body using extremely expensive chelation treatment in the form of pills or injections, it takes months to years for chelation therapy to remove toxic metals. These chelating agents as used by the medical profession are drugs and do have side effects. Alternative chelating agents include combinations of herbs and other nutritional supplements, the problem with using these for chelation is the length of time it takes to rid the body of its toxic load.
