How to detox naturally

And Build Health With A Good Raw Food Diet.

Building Health and Detoxing on a raw food diet are two things that can occur together, only because of how our bodies respond to raw food. This way of eating which we call the Primal Diet, could even be called "how to detox naturally". There is no question that these bodies of ours are trying to survive the onslaught of industrial, food, airborne, and other toxins (sometimes self-induced toxins if only in the form of excess food and drink), to remain alive and healthy and to function for a very long time!
But back to our subject of building health and detoxing: on the one hand, our bodies are nourished by the raw, unadulterated fats carbohydrates and proteins we eat. On the other hand the raw fats naturally bind with toxins and escort them safely out of the body. For example we have heard Aajonus Vonderplanitz say often, that taking a sugar cubed size chunk of raw unheated and unsalted cheese, encourages the body to dump toxins in to the stomach, which the cheese then "mops up". Then of course we follow this up about 10 minutes later with other good quality raw food, which nourishes us.
That could either be freshly juiced vegetables, or a meat meal, or a fruit smoothie, etc. One overlooked factor in all this is that it happens so gently on a raw food diet--relatively speaking, compared with other historical methods (whether they were/are effective or not) like leaching, cupping, fasting and more modern procedures like chemo-coctails, and other highly toxic drug compounds and in the other extreme, cleanses. There seems hardly a risk to the raw food regimen, since these foods can be so delicious to eat, and also easy to prepare. Please see the book called "The Recipe For Living Without Disease". There is also little to no risk when we consider that this type of raw food detox diet can be added to any ongoing health routine. Aajonus Vonderplanitz has often said that we shouldn't attempt to force or speed up a detox, since it happens well enough anyway. Evidently he has reserved speeding up a detox diet for a few brave and healthy souls like himself and close compatriots, who have been on the raw food diet for some time, and who might not mind some of the reactions! He even gives ways of slowing down a detox to avoid those reactions. Please refer to his book "We Want To Live". But to FEEL the results of good health that are available by eating the raw food detox diet, is a wonder in itself, when we consider that a state of good health is really our birthright, and is at the foundation of everything we do every day!
