Anything is a toxin if you only consider whether "it can kill me" without accounting for dosage. Water can kill you if you drink enough of it it a short enough time period.
I'm diabetic, which is why I made the sugar reference. The other "toxins" being referred to, I have no idea what they are, why they need removed, or how they got there.
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@!!.

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

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...0 -

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 the very best of luck to anyone who reads this!

So this "bad stuff" that I need to remove from my body...is it poop? I bet it's poop.
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.leahsunstar wrote: »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.

If fails to draw any "toxins" I can always swim the English Channel.0 -

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

No, but for once it was actually bumped by the OP instead of a random person who did a search.0 -
