An excerpt from www.howtoxicareyou.com:

Conventional medicine continues to develop at a rapid rate, becoming ever more technical and specialized. Depending on what type of headache you have, you may visit an internist who may in turn refer you to a neurologist, an ophthalmologist, of even a psychiatrist. In this traditional form of medicine, the different warning signs are viewed as different body parts being ill, but what if all these indications are interrelated?

What if your headache, skin rash, constipation, stomach ulcer, insomnia, and muscle spasms are all signs of the same underlying problem? What if the medicines that suppress your pain also suppress your immune system and possibly compromise your health over the long term? This traditional view has always been opposed by advanced physicians and other holistic healers who suggest that warning signs are the body's way of trying to get rid of toxins and to regain homeostasis and balance. Therefore, advanced therapies benefit you not by suppressing the body's defense mechanisms, but by cooperating with these systems.

Toxins may be defined as substances which produce physical, emotional, and psychological imbalances in an individual. We are consistently exposed to toxins every day. There are two types of toxins: exogenous and endogenous. Exogenous toxins are present in the outside environment, whereas endogenous toxins are produced as a result of imbalances in our metabolism.
