			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr Isaac Eliaz, Several years back, in my work about 20 days  I had to Cleaning Iron sheets with  Hydrochloric Acid to remove Rust and Xylene/ Benzene Cleaning to remove Grease. I did this work from one foot distance from my face. I was completely unknown to Hazardous Fumes of these two Hazardous Chemicals. I have inhaled fumes of these two Chemicals 6 to 7 hours per day for 20 days.</p>
<p>Since then oesophagus and upper stomach has somewhat burning feelings. I am not aware what should I do ? I am of 61 years.</p>
<p>Also my 2 upper and 3 lower teeth have broken teeth only in gums. Cavities there are done with fillers before few months, I do not know what type.</p>
<p>Of late from sources like THIS one, I came to know that Silver fillings in teeth are Hazardous. And from your article Dr Eliaz , Amalgamated fillings are also harms.</p>
<p>What should I do ? Pl. Advice.</p>
<p>Thnking you and Kind Regard.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dreliaz.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/springcleanse1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4625" title="springcleanse" src="http://www.dreliaz.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/springcleanse1.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>What is it about the spring season that makes it so appropriate to cleansing and rejuvenation? Spring brings new growth, transformation, and regeneration. As the weather warms up and the days begin to get noticeably longer, our energy also rises from a dormant winter state, and we are presented with a powerful opportunity to renew and revitalize on all levels. A gentle spring cleanse or whole body detoxification is an excellent way to jump-start this process.</p>
<p>Chinese Medicine and other traditional medical systems recognize our close interconnection with nature and the seasons, and draw heavily on these principles to create highly refined healing protocols, including seasonal detoxification. By making an effort to clear the unnecessary clutter and toxins from our bodies and our environments, we can maximize the transformative energy of the spring season to attain greater health, vitality and wellbeing.</p>
<p>The best way to begin a spring cleanse, and optimize results, is to incorporate cleansing and alkalizing foods, nutrients, botanicals and mind-body healing practices such as meditation, into a gentle program. Whether the cleanse lasts for 3 days, 3 weeks, or longer, these tips can help align us with the seasonal transitions and allow healing and transformation to spring forth naturally.</p>
<p><strong>Seasonal Transitions and Health</strong></p>
<p>According to the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), every season correlates to different &#8220;elements&#8221; or organ systems in the body. The winter correlates with the water element and the kidneys/bladder system. From a Western naturopathic perspective, cold weather can put stress on your adrenal and thyroid glands; tends to make the blood more acidic and causes a build-up of lactic acid, which can lead to sluggishness, muscle/joint pain and arthritis.</p>
<p>Both Eastern and Western naturopathic medical systems agree that the transition from winter to spring offers an ideal opportunity to shed extra weight and gently cleanse accumulated toxins from the body. This excess build up can be the result of numerous factors. Key culprits include unhealthy diet, poor digestion, lack of exercise, winter dehydration, normal metabolic processes and environmental pollution.</p>
<p>In TCM, spring corresponds to the liver and the gall bladder. A gentle spring cleanse effectively supports the liver’s vital detoxification processes, eliminates toxins stored in organs and tissues, helps shed excess weight, alkalizes the body and gets your circulation and energy moving. Additional benefits include improved digestion, reduced inflammation, balanced blood sugar and better immune function.</p>
<p><strong>Detox Diet</strong><br />
A cleansing diet is the most critical component of any detoxification program. Animal protein, particularly red meat, should be minimized during a cleanse. Emphasize lighter, organic plant-based proteins that are easier for the body to digest. Below are the critical components of a detox diet which can help improve digestion and enhance detoxification, resulting in greater energy and vitality.</p>
<ul>
<li>Eat fresh, organic foods with an emphasis on green vegetables. Vegetables may be juiced, eaten raw, steamed, or sautéed in liquid.</li>
<li>Emphasize alkalizing foods (see Table); they counteract the tendency to become more acidic during cold weather and promote oxygenation and the release of stored wastes and toxins.</li>
<li>Consume plenty of pure water, herbal teas, and vegetable soups or broths.</li>
<li>Add fiber (such as flax or chia seeds, psyllium, rice bran, etc.) to your diet to ensure regular elimination that will carry toxins out of the system.</li>
<li>Eliminate foods that place oxidative stress on the body and cause inflammation, such as alcohol, sugars, processed foods, cooked oils, caffeinated beverages and non-organic foods.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Alkaline Foods</strong></p>

<p><strong>Key Detox Supplements</strong></p>
<p>In my practice I recommend the following supplements during a cleanse and throughout the year to enhance detoxification and combat oxidative stress caused by toxins and free radicals. These supplements offer a wide range of diverse health benefits, and can be used daily to support and maintain vitality, immunity and overall wellness.</p>
<ul>
<li>Medicinal mushroom formulas: help to remove toxins and metabolic waste build up throughout the body; support immunity, digestion, vital energy and overall health. I recommend a formula made with a synergistic blend of ten medicinal mushrooms and additional beta-glucans for immune support. This formula is ideal for daily health maintenance, and dosages can be increased during a cleanse for enhanced detoxification and vitality support.</li>
<li>Modified citrus pectin (MCP)/alginate formula: helps to gently remove heavy metals and environmental toxins from the digestive tract and circulation; combats inflammation; improves cellular health and immunity. This formula has been clinically researched and proven to help eliminate lead, mercury, arsenic and other heavy metals from the body, without affecting essential minerals.</li>
<li>Phase II detox formula: contains sulfured amino acids and detoxifying herbs and nutrients such as cilantro, dandelion, milk thistle, garlic, astragalus, Oregon grape root and others. This targeted formula is designed for use after 1-2 months of the MCP/alginate formula, to support in-depth removal of stored toxins, combat free radicals and inflammation, assist organs of elimination and boost vital energy.</li>
<li>Comprehensive herbal digestive formula: complete, non-habit forming digestive support with herbs, nutrients and enzymes such as cardamom, pomegranate, cinnamon, galangal and medicinal mushrooms. This formula will help improve detoxification, digestive function and nutrient assimilation, and works to relieve occasional digestive discomfort.</li>
<li>Probiotic formula: improves digestive and overall health by reintroducing healthy probiotic flora (beneficial bacteria) to the digestive tract which boost immunity, improve nutrient assimilation and support numerous areas of health. Cultured foods such as sauerkraut also provide good sources of friendly probiotics.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>An Uplifting Experience</strong></p>
<p>The benefits of a gentle spring cleanse can extend far beyond the physical elimination of toxins, resulting in improved mental clarity and emotional stability, balanced blood sugar, increased vital energy and greater strength, flexibility and stamina.</p>
<p>You can maximize the benefits of your cleanse by taking some time each day to meditate and reflect, stretch or do yoga poses, take a walk in nature, and rest. By caring for yourself in this way, you can experience positive transformation on multiple levels, the way the coldness and inactivity of winter gradually give way to new growth, warmth and energy in the spring. A seasonal spring cleanse should be a gentle, life-supporting experience, so relax, enjoy and renew!</p>
