What is Purification and why do I need it?

Purification, also known as detoxification, can help you remove natural toxins form your body and help maintain a healthy weight.  We are exposed to external toxins every day, including pollutants, pesticides, and chemicals.  Internally our bodies produce waste byproducts as a result of normal metabolic function.  Although your body is designed to rid itself of these toxins naturally, it can become overburdened.  Purification offers your body additional support to expel natural toxins and minimize your weight, which is important to maintaining your health and vitality.

Toxins can contribute to a wide range of conditions:

• -Stuffy head
  -Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
  -Digestion and other gastrointestinal problems
  -Food cravings and weight gain
  -Reduced mental clarity
  -Low libido

There are approximately 80,000 synthetic chemicals registered for use in the U.S.  The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that hundreds of these chemicals are present in our bodies.  Research has shown that many of these chemicals can disrupt our immune, endocrine, nervous, and reproductive systems.  The following are examples of external and internal toxins:

External Toxins:

• -Air and water pollutants
  -Caffeine
  -Cigarette smoke
  -Cosmetics
  -Heavy Metals
  -Household cleaning products
  -Pesticides and herbicides
  -Pharmaceuticals
  -Preservatives

Internal Toxins:

• -Ammonia
  -Carbon Dioxide
  -Free radicals
