Natural Detoxification and Maintaining Youth

As a young man in my lates teens and 20's, I studied kung fu, tai chi, qigong, and meditation. These various fields of study all imparted a lot on the subject of natural detoxification. Some of these teachers I had the opportunity to study with were two, three and even four times my age. Granted, I would never describe myself as a talented martial artist or even a good martial student, but still, these men and women could throw around a relatively strong, healthy, young man like a ragdoll. Given what I have witnessed and experienced from these teachers and others, I believed there is a grave misconception in American culture that says to grow old means to get fat, slow, forgetful, weak and lethargic. (I speak of this simply because I’m an American. But I bet it’s a common phenomenon in many parts of the world that people have a terror of growing old given the weakness and sickness of body and mind that the aging process seems to engender.) I feel very fortunate but I’ve just met too many people who laugh in the face of this stereotype to buy into it. There are men and women who take them time to take care of themselves, engage in natural detoxification and who grow stronger, more insightful, more aware and more energetic with the passing years.

 

I would like to suggest instead of simply aging with the turning of the earth around the sun, that it is the accumulation of countless obstructions of the electromagnetic fields that make up the electrical basis of the body that is the true agent and harbinger of what we commonly call old age. It is not so much that the body simply breaks down as one grows older. It is more so that the body is under an increasing burden of unresolved experience and undigested material that can only be resolved through purification and natural detoxification. If you think in this way you begin to realize that your body is your best friend and it’s doing everything it can to keep up with the demands that are being placed on it… and those demands are quite considerable.

 

The demands that are being placed on the body in modern culture are something that our bodies have never seen before. The amount of information that we are expected to contend with on a moment by moment basis is staggering. A tremendous amount of this emotionally-bound material is not resolved and dealt with but it does remain within that electromagnetic matrix that is the underlying fabric for body. This matrix can be thought of as the loom upon which the clothes of the body lie. This accumulating electromagnetic debris winds up as what we call stress and tension. That stress and tension is then translated into the tissues of the body via neuropeptides, cortisol increases, hypertension, reduced circulation, impeded digestion and natural detoxification and more. This constant wear and tear is really what we describe as the aging process, becoming elderly and witnessing the breakdown of the various functions of the body.

 

Not only are we being exposed to more and more electrical information, not only are we being exposed to more and more sensory input of a wild and varied nature that is very difficult to digest because so much of it is emotionally bound in very intense ways, we are also contending with the onslaught of a food supply that is far removed from how our bodies ever consumed food in the past. We can all be thankful for modern hygiene and many of the modern food storage practices that we’ve developed. However, the idea that food should be irradiated, microwaved, or that our crops should be sprayed with countless different kinds of chemicals is about as absurd an idea as any we’ve come up with yet. We are overwhelming our body’s natural detoxification ability to deal with this onslaught.

 

To sum up, we have the radical input of hard to digest information through the various senses including the eyes and the ears. Also, our natural detoxification mechanisms are overwhelmed by the difficult to digest chemicals that we are being asked to process. The combination of the two of these radically contributes to what we call the aging process, creaking of the joints, forgetfulness, lower energy, slower metabolism, unclear thinking, slower decision making processes, and lack of inspiration and enthusiasm to live life. These are not necessary as one spins around the sun every 365 days. Purification of the electromagnetic fields of nervous system and natural detoxification of the body is why I have had the pleasure of meeting plenty of people that were in incredibly good health, had clear eyes, were stronger than a man a quarter of their age...I'm talking about men in their 80’s that could throw around fit strong 25 year olds. This doesn’t have to be an isolated incident. Everyone can enjoy greater degrees of health and clarity, energy and enthusiasm up until they are ready to make that final leap.
