If there is one really important thing I believe people don’t get when it comes to ridding their body of back pain and sciatica it’s detoxing. It is like trying to get paint to stick to dirty walls or like trying to clean clothes with dirty water. If you don’t get the sludge and toxins out of the body and out of the muscles they will never release and stay loose and flexible when you get treatment for your back pain.
Today modern medicine recognises the presence of toxins in the body, especially heavy metal toxins such, lead, mercury, arsenic, aluminium, nickel etc. The presence of these toxins can lead to serious health problem and even when they are present in small amounts the body and muscles will not function the way they have been designed to.
As well as toxins from our environment we are also subjected to all sorts of chemicals and toxins from the food we eat. These are added to processed foods sold by manufacturers who are much more interested in making money than looking after our health. They are also added to fresh foods like the antibiotics they spray onto fruit and vegetable crops or the chemicals they give beef or chickens to boost their size etc,
Sadly we have come to the point of accepting these things as normal occurrences and very little is said or done about it in the way or complaining or making a stand to bring about change. It is this tendency to just accept the situation that has led our body to a toxic state.
Do you feel washed out and sluggish when you wake up in the mornings?
Do you feel exhausted and ready for bed before most other people at night?
Are you the sort of person who gets told during a massage, “your body is so tight everywhere”?
Because if that describes you there is a good chance you would benefit greatly from a good detox and if you have pain on top of those symptoms, the reason you are not getting better could well be because of the toxins blocking up the muscles and making your body feel stiff and sluggish.
A good detoxification should be carried out every 3 months and so if you haven’t done one for three, five, ten or even twenty years or more, now might be a good time to start. The longer it has been and the more toxic your body is, the more of a reaction you will get as you detox. Things such as headaches, skin breakouts, tiredness initially and loss of appetite are all symptoms you could experience in the early stages. In the worse cases they could even last for a few weeks.
After the detox you should feel light and energised, with clear skin and eyes and a lot less pain. I am sure you would agree, worth the effort in the long run especially considering the added health benefits a regular detox provides.
How do you go about it?
You can get the best detox by attacking it on a number of levels,
Firstly, by eliminating any excess build-up in the colon using a product such as Fibreblend and drinking lots of water and fresh juices.
Secondly, by adding a whole food probiotic like InLiven before meals 3 times a day.
Thirdly by consuming a healthy diet containing no processed foods, sugars, dairy, or red meat, perhaps by following the Liver Cleansing Diet by Dr Sandra Cabot.
By doing 30 minutes of easy exercise such as walking or yoga every day and of course drinking plenty (2 litres) of distilled or purified water every day.
If you are sick and tired of being sick, tired and in pain, perhaps wondering why the treatments you are doing are not working, why not visit my shopping cart where you can pick up the Fibreblend and InLiven www.backpain.com.au/zen and check out your local bookshop for Sandra Cabot’s Liver cleansing diet (or a similar book overseas) . I know you won’t regret the new body it will give you.
If you detox your body properly you will surely see a huge decrease in any back pain or sciatica you are suffering from and this be very useful if you do not have the services of a really good therapist on hand. Similarly when you combine a good detox with some effective treatment or even my self treatment program you will see much faster and longer lasting results.
