A 5-Step Body Cleansing Plan for 2012
This post will teach you both how to cleanse your body for the new year, and how to keep your body clean with new dietary practices. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian (I eat mercury-free fish), but this article takes the best practices from nutritional science combined with the most recent holistic knowledge from teachers like Dr. Llaila Afrika, Dr. Phil Valentine, and Djehuty Maat-Ra to bring you a sensible plan for radiant health.

What is “Detoxing”
Detoxing is the process of removing toxins from the body. This process is almost always accompanied by a period of withdrawal as the body releases its dependence on the substances that it has gotten used to.
Toxins come from the faucet water, sodas, milk, and other artificial drinks, and from the flesh of dead animals, chemically treated and genetically modified crops, and processed sugars and starches.
Why Detoxing is VITAL
Your diet determines how well or how poorly your body functions. You may have a body full of energy, vitality, and capable of superior performance, or you can have a body full of cancer-causing agents, poisonous sediments, and energy draining waste products. You choose which one you want with every sip and bite you take. What you put on your plate is the difference between a long life of radiant health, or a premature and painful death.
My man, Denmark Vesey said it first, and said it best:
1) Nutrition always helps to make you healthier.
2) Pharmaceuticals sometimes help. More often than not, hurt.
Illness is most often the result of nutritional deficiency.
Plantation doctors are trained to treat illness as a drug deficiency.
Why? There is profit in making people sick and selling them drugs to stay alive. Hustle Hard.

The legendary Dr. Afrika wrote
In today’s medicine, you have to keep going back to the doctors for more procedures. It is not that your doctor doesn’t care about you. He is also concerned about making money… lots of money. According to the ADA, doctors make an average of $209,000 per year and surgeons make $500,000 up.
Now, its true that your body already has defense mechanisms and detox systems in place: that’s what your liver, kidneys, and skin do. But these organs are only evolved enough to deal with our original diet of simple proteins, carbohydrates, and fibers. Not this
Or this
Or this
Eating that crap floods your system with so many toxins so quickly that your system is overwhelmed and you are put to sleep (hence, the itis).
Again, detoxing your body is vital and mandatory if you wish to live a long, healthy life of radiant consciousness!
