How to do Detoxification within our body?

Why we need to do cleansing in our body?

Take an example on slimming: 

REBOUND happens as toxins remain in the body

NO REBOUND happens as toxins removed out from body. 

How can we effectively detox without any side effects or negative consequences to our health?

External Toxins:

• Pollution - air, water and food contamination
• Medicine
• Smoking 
• Chemical form household items such as detergent, hand wash
• Nutrition misconceptions (such as synthetic supplements) which adds toxin accumulation within our body
• Harmful food additives 
• Pesticides on plant foods
• Heavy metals from plant foods 
• Radiation which affect brain or nerve damage
• GMO foods
• Residue of fast growth hormones and antibiotics found in foods (such as animal meat)

Internal Toxins: 

• Slow metabolism which accumulate bad cells 
• Cancer cells
• Fat deposits
• Free radicals which speed up ageing of body cells and DNA mutation
• Constipation which accumulate toxins, growth of bad bacteria 
• Uric acids which affects joints
• Cholesterols accumulation which leads to high blood pressure and heart diseases
• High triglycerides which leads to narrowing of blood vessels, resulting lack of oxygen, fatigue, brain deterioration, stroke

With the above toxin input, it will pass through our liver to do detoxification. 

To protect our body from the toxin which will harm our body, it's important to 

• Reduce toxins that enter our body

• Enhance the efficiency of exit channels, ensure the detoxification organs and systems are healthy

1. Skin
2. Kidney 
3. Colon 
4. Lungs

• Ensure Liver is functioning well also as liver is the MAJOR DETOX ORGAN in our body. 

Through Nutritional Immunology approach, we can use SUPERFOODS to nourish these organs. 

Here are some recommendations:

1. ORCHESTRA - made of Kumazasa and Ashitaba japanese herbs, especially excellent at detox and it's very nourishing to our liver too, therefore, enhancing detox function. 

2. 1-SHAPE - made of grain fiber, american ginseng and platycodon root, especially excellent for cleansing our colon, prevent constipation, ensuring our colon system functioning well, therefore no toxin accumulation 

3. TRIFLORA - made of green tea, ginseng, chrysanthemum, jasmine flower - to enhance cell cleansing from pollution, heavy metals, preservatives, artificial colouring. 

4. REFRESH - made of saphorae beans, black mushroom, asparagus, mulberry and lemon - to nourish our kidney therefore enhancing the toxin purging process. 

5. OXYGINBERRY - made of cactus, cactus fruits, ginseng berry, rose, grape seed and seaweed - to nourish our entire body systems including immune system and skin to stay healthy and young. When immune system is younger, we can do a better cleansing job too.

High Blood Pressure Medicine - Side Effects

High blood pressure has become one of the most common heart diseases nowadays. 

Many people may think that with medicine prescribed for high blood pressure, it means they are safe and the problems solved. However do you know that side effects of these medications bring harm to your health in the long run?

Have you heard of people end up going for kidney dialysis (kidney failure) after medicine intake for many many years? 

What are common high blood pressure side effects?

Different classes of blood pressure medications have different side effects.

Diuretics

Diuretics can lead to an increase in potassium loss, known as hypokalemia, which, in turn can affect muscular function -- including the muscles of the heart. There is also an increased risk for gout with diuretics -- as well as the possibility of weakness, thirst, dehydration, and increased urination. Changes in blood sugar levels are also possible. Skin reactions, some severe, are possible with thiazide diuretics (such as hydrochlorothiazide). Potassium-sparing diuretics, such as spironolactone (Aldactone) may cause breast enlargement in males.

Beta blockers

Beta-blockers cause the heart to slow down and so some of their side effects can be traced to that mechanism of action. Dizziness, weakness, fatigue, and fainting are possible. Beta-blockers also affect the respiratory system, so other side effects include shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. Beta-blockers should not be withdrawn suddenly, as that could result in a heart attack or sudden death.

ACE inhibitors

The most common side effect from ACE Inhibitors is also an unusual one -- a dry cough. Usually it goes away with continued use of the drug, but that could take weeks. ACE Inhibitors could reduce blood pressure too much, resulting in hypotension which could, in turn lead to headache, dizziness, fainting, and reduced kidney function.

Angiotensin II receptor blockers

The most common side effect from the angiotensin receptor blockers(ARBs) is an increased potassium level in the blood, known ashyperkalemia. Dizziness is also common, along with fatigue. Upper respiratory tract infections have also been reported -- along with gastrointestinal issues such as upset stomach and diarrhea.

Calcium channel blockers

Up to a third of patients may experience the following side effects with calcium channel blockers: Swelling of the ankles and other extremities, flushing, and dizziness. Other common side effects include heartburn and nausea.

Alpha blockers

A common, transient, but distressing initial side effect of the alpha blockers is postural hypotension. This is a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up. It can be severe enough to cause dizziness or even fainting. In addition, the alpha blockers can result in increased heart rate, headache, nausea, and weakness.

Methyldopa

Methyldopa is mostly well tolerated, but some patients may experience dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, headache, and dry mouth.

Central agonists

Up to 40% of patients taking clonidine (Catapres) will experience dry mouth and about a third will have drowsiness, headache, and sleepiness. Other common side effects include constipation, dizziness, and local skin reactions with use of the Catapres-TTS skin patch. Reserpine use is linked with possible side effects including nightmares, stuffy nose, depression, and an inability to fall asleep. Diarrhea and heartburn are also possible. Guanadrel and guanethidine can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues – as well as dizziness and drowsiness.

Vasodilators

Taking minoxidil might result in excessive body hair growth, as well as weight gain and dizziness. Hydralazine is linked to headaches, heartpalpitations, swelling around the eyes, and aches and pains in the joints.
