The human body is exposed to toxins from the air we breathe, the food and water we ingest and everyday surroundings at home and the workplace. Toxins are categorized as either environmental or microbial.
Environmental toxins enter the body from outside sources.
Common environmental toxins are chemicals, drugs, pesticides, food additives and air pollutants. Microbial toxins live in the intestinal tract and are produced by bacteria and fungi. Two common endotoxins are methane and ammonia. Cleansing is the process of eliminating toxins from the body. There are five primary organs that act as channels of elimination to rid the body of toxic chemicals and microbial compounds.
