    I've been doing a lot of research for my own personal well-being. I've learned that raw undistilled apple cider vinegar has amazing health benefits, including detoxing the liver and kidneys which are the organs that filter all of the bad stuff out of your body. I add about a teaspoon/cap full to my 24oz water bottle every morning, along with a couple of drops of doTerra lemon essential oil (this brand is therapeutic food grade; safe for ingestion and very beneficial). The combo tastes like strong lemon water once you get used to it.

    I've also recently learned that the goopy quality of the aloe plant (and also from crushed chia seeds that are soaked in water) is amazing for detoxifying. The gel from these natural sources clings to toxins within your G.I. tract and pulls them along and out, instead of allowing them to be reabsorbed by the intestines. They're virtually tasteless and are a perfect addition to smoothies.

    If you have a Netflix account, I recommend watching a documentary called "Hungry for Change" ... It is a wealth of information on natural weight loss and detoxification. It made me feel like there is hope for me again! There is also a website of the same name if you can't access the video (or in addition to) with loads of wonderful health-related articles. I wish you the very best of luck!

    sigh: What are the specific toxins you are removing from your body?

    Anyone else lulz at this one? 1) Make something up 2)... 3) Profit

    How do you remove toxins (which I'm going to assume is code for 'anything in my body that probably shouldn't be there')?

    Same way you oxygenate blood, pump blood around your body, move food along your intestines, and other vital bodily functions. Sit back and let your body take care of it.

    You know how your spleen works? Neither do I. But it seems to have done a pretty good job without me thus far.

    Things just got so much better.

    Going meta here, but the "toxin" plaint relies on a couple things: 1) A person's credulity; 2) A made-up problem to sell an equally made-up a "cure."

    Such a great website. It had died down for awhile and then it was revived and Orac (David Gorski) posts on there with some frequency and if you bore of that site, check out Steve Novella's Neurologica blog too (he posts on sbm) - good stuff there.

    I've been to Neurologica a time or two as the result of google searches but I forget it exists. Thanks for the reminder! Orac was the first SBM blogger I ever read over at Respectful Insolence.

    I know how my spleen works... it doesn't, and I'm having a splenectomy soon :confounded: but there's nothing I could eat or drink that would make it suddenly work properly. Same with liver and kidneys. We don't have to aid them, they remove the bad stuff without our help.

    I think the Reiki "healers" are some of the most derpiest of the holistic, alternate "medicine crowd."

    Let me put my hands on you and heal you.

    lulz

    My MIL is a Reiki Master..... she sends her healing energy to me long distance, from NJ to Alabama.
    :s:p:p:p
    As long as she stays up north, I'm good. B)

    That's so awesome! You've heard the SGU podcasts? Its been awhile since I've listened ... not much time to spend on that ... but those were always so great - learned so much. I know Rebecca left. I loved Skeptiod too, but Brian Dunning turned out to be quite a jerk with the scams he was pulling - still Skeptiod was a really great podcast.

    I'm just going to go ahead and post this for the lurkers, about the essential oils thing and doTERRA specifically.

    I haven't actually-- I haven't really made it into the 21st century as far as podcasts go. I'll keep that in mind though.

    Ah, sucks. With the exception of a couple of kidney stones I've been blessed with very functional organs. I hope your spenectomy goes without a hitch!

    May I ask how someone would know what's inside your body when all they did was rub your skin? Or does your massage therapist do blood panel testing?

    How horrible!

    "However, I recently attended a dōTERRA “talk” (aka pressure to buy) about how essential oils can cure everything and anything, including one woman’s mother’s skin cancer. "

    Thank the 1994 DHSEA that allow for these types of claims to be asserted or implied.

    Their an ex-thermic Caananus. Meaning they are a type of vampire from the derp side of the moon. They don't bite a neck to access blood, they use their fingers. So they are often in jobs that involve touching people, like massage therapy.

    She didn't like the taste of the OP's blood. Too mercurial.

    I miss this part of MFP so bad. This thread gives me a sad...

    Gotcha. I thought you might be referring to a medical issue, but when you said don't bother arguing, I thought you were bringing up the endless "sugar is the debil" debate.

    No, lol. I detest that debate. And it may not be the devil but cutting it out can be h@!!.

    Ahh- thank you for the explination...

    ....And I really hope it wasn't a high voltage of electricity... :#

    Did you know that high voltage is less fatal than low voltage? Low voltage shocks are most likely to cause defib of the heart, which is very difficult to correct since your heart is still beating, but not well enough to keep you alive. High volt shocks are more likely to temporarily stop your heart, at which point your heart is more likely to resume natural rhythm on it's own. Learned it in my one electrical engineering class and I was shocked (get it)! Note: I'm not talking lighting strikes here...

    I spoke with someone on here who adamantly believed that poo and water weight were "toxins."

    I love this claim. So goopy things draw toxins. I'm going to try that with some axel grease on my skin.

    If fails to draw any "toxins" I can always swim the English Channel.

    This doesn't bode well for my future of frequent Repetitive Nerve Stimulation diagnostic tests. :s
