Proper hygiene is as essential to optimum health as diet and exercise.
Cleansing the body of toxins, pollutants, disease-causing germs and allergens can significantly reduce the number of infections, allergy attacks and other negative health conditions. The importance of good hygiene cannot be overstated. The first cure for cancer was hygiene. In the 18th century, London s chimney sweeps had an extraordinarily high rate of scrotal cancer until a local surgeon, Dr. Potts, demonstrated that those who regularly washed away the carcinogenic soot that collected on their skin did not contract the disease. Even into World War II, death from poor hygiene caused three times more deaths than battlefield wounds.
