The human body was designed with its own self-cleaning process. But too much sugar, caffeine, processed foods, foods covered in pesticides, stress, too little exercise, and even over-medication can slow the body’s natural detoxification function to a slow pace. As a result, your body can’t clean itself when it is put up against the increasing number of harmful and toxic substances in the environment.
It’s like a pond. If no water is leaving the pond, the pond becomes stagnant and polluted. If the outflow of toxins is less than what is coming into our bodies, our bodies similarly become polluted!
Toxins come in many forms: pesticides in produce, formaldehyde in carpets and cosmetics, PCBs from plastic containers, dioxins from bleached paper products, mold in buildings, silver fillings, chemicals in our cleaning products, and more. Each of these toxins is contributing to the overall toxicity of our bodies.
Studies show 
that indoor air quality is 10 times more polluted and toxic than outside air, and in some cases the pollution was up to 100x the level as outdoor air. Furthermore, the chemicals that are emitted from our household cleaning products are some of the most deadly substances on earth. We clean our floors or counters and wash our dishes with harmful chemicals,that have never been tested by the EPA.
Our skin is the largest organ of the body and it is constantly being bombarded with toxins through household cleaners to personal beauty care products. The chemicals go through the skin, are inhaled, or even orally ingested (from plates and cups being cleaned in toxic dishwasher detergent). Many of these chemicals have an affinity for the brain, which means they lodge themselves in the base of the brain, constantly emitting deadly toxins into the brain and central nervous system (which controls every organ and function of the body).
Your body will process and eliminate some of the hordes of chemicals that enter, but overflow gets stored in the liver, lungs, kidneys, fat cells, intestines, blood stream, and skin—which can result in chronic illnesses down the road. Many conditions like ADD, ADHD, Autism, liver, heart, and kidney disease, and many more can be a result of an excess of toxins in the body. When you undergo a detox, you get these toxins out of your system.
