ADD/ADHD Do Not Detoxify Well….Natural Remedies and Organic Meals Can Help!
16. September 2008 by Shirley.
How many of you have watched the movie “Supersize me?” Did you see towards the end of the movie when they put McDonald’s fries and hamburger in a separate glass dome along with FRESH ground hamburger and FRESH hand cut fries from a restaurant? If you have not seen this movie, go rent it at Blockbuster right now!!!!!!!! The fresh hamburger and fries decompose obviously because they are not kept in a refrigerator. BUT no decomposition from McDonald’s hamburger or French fries for over 6 weeks!!! What do you think happens to all of the artificial preservatives, dyes, and flavors in our bodies??? Do you have any idea how overworked our liver is trying to eliminate these chemicals?? Did you know our liver is a MAJOR organ that does over 500 functions?? Did you know that our liver influences our mood?? ADD/ADHD, which falls into the autistic spectrum already do not detox well. Almost all of them have heavy metal build up and food allergies. On top of this, most ADD/ADHD adults and children eat fast food weekly. When the liver can not process all of these chemicals at one time, it begins to store it in fat cells in the liver to process later. When the liver runs out of room to store the fat it starts releasing the fats into the body, the body therefore starts to create fat cells which leads to obesity. People say when they see someone over weight it’s due to a slow metabolism. Well, when I see a child or an adult over weight, I see an overload of toxins/poisons and a person with an acidic pH. I believe people hold their weight because they can not eliminate fat soluble toxins and poisons. A lot of these foods are acidic. The bodies defense to protect it’s organ from toxins and acids in the body, is to store them in your fat. Basically do a bowel cleanse, stop eating artificial preservatives, dyes, and flavors, and you will begin to lose weight.
A lot of these fast foods (dairy, red meat, refined sugars) cause constipation. If you are not having 2-3 regular bowels a day, the toxins from your bowels will re-absorb back into your body. You need a healthy strong liver to help neutralize these chemicals before it can be eliminated from the body. Your blood from the colon is fed directly to your liver. When your body has accumulated waste in the colon (large intestine), your blood now has to filter through these toxins and poisons. This causes dirty blood ( autointoxication) to circulate in the body and puts a burden on other major organs (lungs, kidneys, etc). Can you see where I’m going with this??? If this is what happens to regular people, how do you think it affects ADD/ADHD who as I already mention DO NOT detoxify well??
If you are an adults or parents with children that has ADD/ADHD, start pulling this junk from their diets!!! If you are an adult with ADD/ADHD do a colon cleanse and maximize your nutrition load with high quality supplements. I promise you will be DAZZLED at your results!! It’s amazing how the body can begin to heal itself if it is given the nutrients that it needs to function daily and is free of toxins and poisons. A clean body runs like a car that gets regular oil changes. Would you run your car 100,000 miles and never change the oil, never get a tune up, or check your tires??? In fact every 5000 miles you are suppose to get your oil change. If you do this for your car why wouldn’t you do this for your body??Enthusiastically yours,
