Both effective and economical.... The strict fasting regimen
One of the easiest ways to rid ourselves of the accumulation of toxic substances caused by the air we breathe, the foods we eat, and the medications we use is the strict fasting method. This method is both very effective and more economical than other methods. The most difficult part of this method is that it takes relatively long and requires the person to exercise willpower to follow it. In particular, people who are going to apply detoxification to themselves need to seek professional help before starting the practice if they are severely dependent on substances (excessive tobacco, alcohol, medication, etc.) and do not have regular daily eating habits. On the other hand, it is absolutely inadvisable for those with hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia, those in a post-operative recovery period, and those with illnesses such as cancer to begin such practices without professional help.
It should also be noted that, some time after starting detoxification — and this is related to the low and/or high level of toxins in the body — certain dysfunctions can occur. Toxins accumulated in the body are found in deep tissues, that is, in the cells. In an organism trying to rid itself of toxins, the toxins first pass from intracellular and extracellular fluids into the bloodstream. When this non-continuous process begins to occur, a state of weakness, exhaustion, and fatigue is seen in the body. Symptoms that may be seen during these periods when toxins are concentrated in the blood are unpleasant changes such as headaches, a coated tongue and loss of taste, some temporary skin rashes, mild nausea, diarrhea, and mild depression. This condition gradually decreases over time and disappears as the body is cleansed of toxins.
On the other hand, this dietary method is also recommended to be applied during periods of illness. It is a very effective method that aids treatment, particularly in acute large intestine disorders, allergies, and respiratory system illnesses. On the other hand, it has been observed that this method is less beneficial in chronic degenerative illnesses. When we give the digestive system a rest, this diet relieves the organism, which is already making an effort to rid itself of toxins, and the organism cleanses itself more quickly. With a strict fasting regimen applied at regular intervals, the body not only regains its health, but many elements of a healthy life — such as healthy aging, staying more vigorous, and living longer — are also achieved thanks to the rest given to the digestive organs.
During this regimen;
• While the body's process of ridding itself of toxins speeds up, since toxin intake is minimized, the level of toxins in the body gradually decreases.
• Since the energy expenditure required for digestion is greatly reduced, this energy is used to strengthen the immune system, renew cells in the body, and speed up the excretory system.
• Because the digestive system is relieved, allergic and inflammatory reactions to foods do not develop.
• As serum fats decrease, the blood thins, oxygen-carrying capacity increases, and the formed elements of blood move more easily.
• Pesticides (agricultural chemicals) and drugs accumulated in fat are rapidly expelled from the body.
Through this regimen, illnesses are overcome, the liver and large intestine are cleansed, excess water and waste are expelled, the eyes become clearer, and the tongue and breath become cleaner.
Depending on the duration of application, a 3-day regimen helps expel toxins from the body and cleanse the blood, while a 5-day regimen helps the immune system begin to strengthen. A 10-day regimen is the best method to apply for cleansing from various problems, ranging from controlling degenerative illnesses to the recovery of many conditions, and for ridding oneself of chemical residues. There are certain important points that must be observed when following this regimen. First of all, this regimen should never be done with water alone. Because in a regimen done with only water, various unpleasant conditions such as severe headaches can occur due to toxins entering the bloodstream all at once. Instead, a regimen done with fresh fruit or vegetable juices helps rid the body of toxins more quickly, as it provides greater vitamin intake.
