Becoming acidic is one of the first steps toward illness. It's almost impossible to find someone with a disease who is not over acid. Anytime the body drops from full vitality, weakened areas result. Stress alone may create the over acidity which leads to mucoid plaque. And stress often prompts deviation from good diet as the person seeks comfort or quick energy through acid-forming foods.
Some health professionals choose to address the local area of obvious congestion alone.
However, there is no single part of the body that is not affected by the whole. So, all congestion and toxins must be removed, and it must begin with cleansing of the bowel. Bowel movements are the basis of your health. If you don't have at least two bowel movements per day, you are already making your way toward disease. A good cleansing program should always begin by removing the waste in your colon, the last portion of your food processing chain.
