Sweating and toxins

Dear Sarah,

I hear from moms of little babies with digestive systems that are damaged. You're not too young, sorry to say.

I'm not kidding when I say you should read that book "Wheat Belly" – and maybe have your Mom take a look too. Amazing, referenced information that will clearly show how clogging can happen, with everyone having the very best of intentions.

Dear Sarah,

Nice to hear from you again. And once more, I'm not a doctor, but thanks for your faith in my opinion.

I have personally experienced, and know many people who have experienced excellent detoxification benefits from sweating, both in exercise and also saunas and various detoxification procedures.

Would you consider drugs as toxins? There are actually tests available to measure someone's sweat to see if they are taking opiate drugs. It seems that might show that toxins do indeed leave the body through the skin. In fact, the skin is actually referred to as the largest eliminative organ of the body!

And I personally have heard from multitudes of people over the years I have been working with colonhydrotherapy, herbs and Renew Life who will attest to the value of detox herbal cleansing programs like the ones offered by Renew Life.

And yes, clearly the body can get overwhelmed and have problems detoxifying – like constipation, fatty liver disease, gall bladder problems, acne, clogged arteries in the heart, the list goes on and on. The body is constantly doing its best – and sometimes it can simply use a little help. Many times we don't even realize the daily habits we have that clog up our bodies. The crazy part is that some people learn what those habits are, and they keep on doing them!

These days on the internet, you can find someone who will take the opposite side from nearly anything you may ask. This is where your own experience and discernment will come into play. Ultimately you will have to see what actually works for you – especially regarding your health.

Keep questioning, dear girl – and researching. I have a book for you to read – "Wheat Belly" by William Davis, MD. – it's a NY Times bestseller, which means you can borrow a copy from the library if you'd rather not buy one. Amazing book.

Let me know how you like it.
