Toxins

"A body full of toxins is like a freeway full of cars-- nothing is moving."
Kulreet Chaudhary, MD, neurologist at Scripps Memorial Hosiptal

Toxins have been proven through medical studies to change the material of normal cells.  These toxins can come in external factors such as cigarette smoke, exposure to other carcinogenic chemicals, exposure to ionizing radiation or internal factors such as abnormal hormonal activity or inherited genetic abnormalities that may cause cancer. Once cancer develops it can be furthered by the consumption of cancer promoters, including alcohol, tobacco, or a high fat diet. Unfortunately, this theory does not always apply because many people who smoke, drink alcohol, or eat high fat diets do not get cancer.  There have been studies also that show how to rid the body of the harmful toxins.
Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary indicates in his recent article in "Woman's World"  Journal, that teas such as dandelion can actually change the biochemistry in your body, helping eliminate toxins that can cause cancer or correct underlying problems that cause weight gain. It has been shown in his studies that dandelion, lemon and cranberry are all thought to boost liver function, which helps eliminate toxins in the body.
I have been using a tea recipe that has shown weight loss and elimination of toxins in the body.  I am sharing this recipe because I have seen positive results in my general well being.  As with any suggestion of improved health, it is always best to consult your doctor.

Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup of unsweetened cranberry juice
