4 Superfoods To Remove Toxins
Detoxing can be hard on your body and cause a wide variety of alarming side effects. After all, the substances being removed are usually pretty horrible, consisting of toxic chemicals from Teflon, vaccines, pesticide residues, pharmaceutical drugs, chemotherapy residue, heavy metals, aluminum, radiation, and even by-products from GMO foods. There are numerous detoxing agents and methods available — some more costly than others — and some producing very intense experiences with potentially dangerous side effects.
However, there are several ways to remove these noxious substances gently, with kindness to your system. These techniques may take a bit longer to achieve completion; however, if you have the time and are sensitive, or just don’t like pain, one of these methods should work for you.
Pectin
Fruit pectin is probably the most gentle method of detoxing contaminants. Pectin comes from the fibrous portion of the fruit and is most commonly found in the pith of limes, lemons and other citrus fruit as well as in apples. Other sources of pectin are bananas, grapes, carrots, and cabbage. Pectin helps to release heavy metals, chemicals and other substances into the blood stream, where it binds to them and flushes them from the body. Simply eating fruit high in pectin will help to cleanse your system, or you can add a pectin product to a glass of water, organic grape juice or fresh veggie juice to speed the detox process. Beware of pectin sold in grocery stores, as some brands may contain MSG. Check health food stores for the best products.
Cilantro
The delicious culinary herb cilantro, happens to be one of the most effective and gentle detoxifiers of mercury, heavy metals and other toxic contaminants. You can buy cilantro juice at health food stores or simply include the fresh herb in your diet as pesto or seasoning to control the amount consumed and limit unwanted side effects. It’s inexpensive and works without the addition of man-made chemicals. Cilantro also possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties, quickly reducing infection and inflammation as it works to clear your system.
Chlorella
Chlorella is a single cell algae sea vegetable that grows in fresh water. Some of the best cholrella reserves have come from Japan; however, use caution when buying Japanese chlorella due to possible exposure to radiation from Fukushima. Chlorella is an easy-to-digest superfood best known for being able to remove mercury and other heavy metals from the cells. Too much chlorella can produce side effects — mostly in the digestive tract — where it works best to bind to mercury, eliminating it. Start with the lowest quantity and work up slowly for a gentle detox.
Wheatgrass
Juicing fresh produce and grasses such as wheat or barley grass provides an excellent way to remove toxins from the system. Wheatgrass is high in nutritional content, and provides vitamins, minerals and all nine essential amino acids. Wheatgrass can be a powerful detox, so start slowly with only a small amount of juice to keep it gentle — 1/2 ounce a day — and work up to avoid symptoms.
Using gentle detoxing products requires that you repeat treatments over a period of time until all symptoms have cleared. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, muscle aches and pains, dizziness and fatigue. Additionally, detoxing can cause a flare-up in your condition temporarily. It’s just the toxins leaving your system and should pass shortly. If side effects are severe, reduce the quantity of whatever you’re using to detox. If the symptoms continue, stop and consult your natural health practitioner for further instructions.

Thank you for this information. O was going to do a fast but I can’t even drink my water to flush my body. I can’t afford a filter. What is a good way to purify tap water? And the super foods you mention would have to be organic. Poor people like me are doomed to toxic build-up
Don’t know who the fool is that wrote this article but saying that you can just use these foods without warning of the possible side effects is not only irresponsible but dangerous.I have heavy metal poisoning and got really sick using chlorella.
These are not harmless ingredients to be taken lightly,they can mobilize more mercury than your body can eliminate ,and make you sick or sicker than you were.Also if someone is toxic with heavy metals and doesn’t know it,using these foods can really open a can of worms.The poor person is clueless as to why they feel so bad taking chlorella or one of the other foods.
Bad idea without being tested for metals and liver kidney ability to handle heavy metals or any toxins in quantity.
I think this site is questionable at times to say the least.
Anonymous that’s what I’m afraid of. I’ve known people who died after they quit smoking and began eating very healthy. So what’s the solution, if there is one?
Think for yourself. Everything in moderation. Lots of raw foods in your diet. Observe yourself when ingesting foods as to what result it manifests. Good results, keep eating that food ,bad results, stop eating that food. It’s very simple when you start thinking independently and take responsibility for yourself. Asking an anonymous person on the interwebs for a solution regarding this or any other subject is naive’ at best.
You need to see a good Naturopath if you are concerned about the level of toxins in your system. To simply say avoid eating anything that makes you feel bad when it comes to detoxing is not what is taught in classes. Naturopaths work with the healing force of the body, unlike mainstream medicine which covers symptoms and suppresses the immune system. When you are chronically toxic, such as the smoker who quits and changes their diet, the body becomes freed to start releasing the poisions which have been trapped in a chronic but non-active state. So when the health of a person improves, they often start to feel very bad (Healing Crisis) before they get better. This is why a lot of people quit the detox thinking they are getting worse because they are brainwashed by doctors to suppress their own body healing mechanisms, thus they don’t even recognise them. Once you move into an acute state (when the toxins are being moved), where you may not feel too good for a while, it’s a sign that the detox is actually working (caution if it’s too much too soon it could shock a sick system)! As pointed out, it can be dangerous depending on your health and the level of detox you require.
So if you see a naturopath, they know the difference between a positive healthy healing crisis in which healing is the ascendent force, or when this may be a ‘disease crisis’ in which the sickness is the driving force. In that case a naturopath would back off from the detox and try a gentler process to strengthen the body, or perhaps just detox the livers or kidneys first before attempting to remove the heavier toxins again. This takes years of study so it’s best to see a qualified natural health practitioner with good references if you are unsure.
All chronic illnesses said to be incurable by mainstream doctors are in fact curable by naturopaths through unfettering the body of oppressive toxins which have built up to the point of totally suppressing the body’s health and natural ability to heal. Thus, the body shuts down into a state where the toxins are locked away. Naturopaths can help to naturally, gently remove these in a safe way so you can regain your full vitality, energy and abilities! The most important Nature Cure elements are fresh water, fresh food, fresh air, exercise and sunshine: If you get plenty of these you will be in a better position health-wise regardless of anything else!
Authentica
Evidently you don’t know anything about heavy metal toxicity.Yes while a lot of detox for other toxins may be uncomfortable and nor harmful,heavy metals,mercury in particular is a different ball game.Once detox begins to mobilize mercury,if the body cannot efficiently eliminate it,it just lands in other areas of the body where it causes additional damage.This is not safe or responsible.I see sooooooo many articles……….just take chlorella,spirulina etc with no thought to how sensitive the person is,how sick they are,how loaded with mercury they are .
I’ve been to many drs,who have made me worse because very few understand mercury toxicity and how to detox without additional harm.So flippant articles like these are irresponsible.
Anonymous that’s why I said to consult with a Naturopath. What do you propose then? Do nothing & remain in a sub-par state riddled with toxins or heavy metals all your life? I know full well that certain substances dislodge heavy metals, which CAN become dangerous if they move to other parts of the body without additional detoxing aids which support the cleansing and make sure the toxins are released safely from the body, rather than just getting moved about possibly making things worse by lodging somewhere else. Hence my strong suggestion if one suspects one has such high levels of heavy metals in their system and is concerned, consult an expert!
I think you are the irresponsible one! Authentic put it plain and simple! You should start reading on the Japanese, they are far mor advanced in chelation therapy.
Your first problem was seeing so many docs, try taking care of yourself, and you’ll be fine. That means educating yourself, don’t just go by youR half fast experIences!
Western medicine is not intended to help you; eugenics! But combing it with other forms of healing would be good.
Stop wasting your time trying to disinform!
I can tell you your simply wasting your time, I live this so peace!
You’re an idiot.
Thanks!
