Detoxification Essential To Cancer Reversal Or Prevention

One of the most essential practices in any cancer reversal -- or prevention -- program is detoxification of the body.

"The majority of people are dealing with a high body burden of toxins," says Chris Spooner, N.D., a research fellow at the Environmental Medicine Center of Excellence at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona. In an article by Lorie Parch posted on alternativemedicine.com, he notes one study in which participants were tested for 167 toxic compounds. The average number of toxins carried by each person was 91. Not all toxins came from exposure to pesticides, heavy metals or other environmental substances, some were produced by the individual's own body as a result of poor digestion, tooth decay, etc.

"When it comes to detoxification, the liver is the workhorse. Then there's the gut, the kidneys, the skin and the breath," says Mark Hyman, editor-in-chief of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine.

Detoxification is an important element of the multimodal approach I recommend for cancer treatment and prevention. In my book, An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer, I provide specific detoxification treatments for various body systems and organs to restore your body to optimum function and vitality. I also cover this important subject in my documentary video Cancer Conquest. Visit my website at http://www.burtongoldberg.com/index.html for more information and a preview of my video.
