Hindrances to elimination process (1)
A few common things which slow the elimination process are:
• Antibiotics. If you have ever taken an antibiotic you have dramatically slowed your elimination potential via the colon. Antibiotics kill all the friendly bacteria in the intestine and colon. This allows unfriendly yeast, most notably candida, to grow abnormally and infest your digestive system.
This candida yeast overgrowth slows digestion, increases gas, bloating and constipation, and itself creates an abnormal amount of toxins.
• Lotions and creams. Most people put lotions and creams all over their skin clogging the pores and suppressing the natural elimination process through the skin. This would include sunscreens, cosmetics,
deodorants, and antiperspirants.
• Lack of body movement. When you move your body as nature intended, you increase the elimination process. Since most people sit all day, their elimination cycles are suppressed. You should have three bowel movements per day. When you eat food, it goes through the digestion process and ends up in the colon ready for elimination.
The food in the colon begins to putrefy and become toxic. The longer it stays in the colon, the more toxic it becomes. If left long enough, these toxins begin to enter the bloodstream. This can turn into a serious medical condition resulting in death.
Your body's elimination system must be working at optimal levels if you want to live without illness and disease.
It is important also to know that "stress" is also one of the major forces that can cause illness and disease in the body. When something stresses us, our body turns from a natural state of alkaline pH to acidic. When it's acidic, disease can grow.
Stress suppresses our immune system and makes us weaker and more susceptible to infections, germs, bacteria and viruses. When our immune system is weak, we cannot naturally defend against these invaders and we get sick.
Rest
Without proper rest, the cells are not given the opportunity to recharge and rejuvenate. Tired cells cannot eliminate toxins efficiently. It is also during rest that most healing takes place. Most people do not get
enough rest, and the rest they do get is not full and deep.
