Why you Need to Detoxify
With Far Infrared Treatment
Doctors worldwide are coming to the view
that everyone should undergo regular detox
......even people who are well.
How a Far Infrared Detoxification Programme
Can Change Your Life
Mark of Get Fitt™ Ltd was recently interviewed by Laura of Sign of the Times on a topic that hasn't received anywhere near the attention that it deserves: improving our health through a program of detoxification. The benefits of far infrared treatments are discussed, as well as the surprising effects of heavy metal toxicity and candida, chronic fatigue and several other illnesses and health-related topics. Mark and Laura also share their personal stories of how the far infrared treatment was a key tool in the battle with toxicity and helping to restore their health. Even if you have never had any serious illnesses or health issues, this is one podcast you can't afford to miss!

At Get Fitt Ltd we really are fortunate. The reason I say this is that we have the privilege of working with some amazing doctors and practitioners who really are leaders in their fields of expertise. What we have learned over the years, is what causes so many of the health problems that people experience.
The common factor found in so many cases of illness, is toxicity (as revealed by the latest tests that have been developed here in the UK). A single substance can cause much harm, but more often than not a whole cocktail of toxins tends to be found in peoples bodies causing sickness and poor health.
Why Doctors are Recommending
a Far Infrared Detox Programme
Far infrared Thermal Treatment is unique in that it can stimulate the elimination of toxins through the major organs such as the liver and kidneys WITHOUT THE NEED TO SWEAT. It is common to find that in many people the toxic load is so great that the skin does not function properly and the sweating mechanism does not work. You will be amazed at just how common this is.
The early stages of our Far Infrared programme involve restoring healthy function of the body's systems and organs as well as detoxifying. Toxicity often impairs the functioning of the body's systems.
Detoxify with the Cocoon SystemTM
The reason that Far Infrared is so effective for improving circulation and breaking down stored toxins is because Far Infrared has a much greater depth of penetration than the heat generated by saunas.
Thus dramatically improving the blood supply to the organs improving function and helping to deliver more oxygen and nutrients so desperately needed by the body.
Indeed it has even been found that Doctors patients who for example, have severe heart disease who would certainly not tolerate a conventional sauna can tolerate Far Infrared Thermal Treatment very comfortably.
Tests results have shown that Far Infrared Thermal Treatment is extremely effective at reducing and eliminating toxins.
For these reasons Far Infrared Thermal Treatment is the preferred tool of many doctors for detoxification to reduce the body's toxic load.
Once the toxic load has been reduced the body can go about it's business of repairing and healing itself.
How do we know these substances
are accumulating in peoples bodies?
Because ground breaking new tests being conducted by Doctors are revealing this and showing conclusively that our bodies are storing toxins which are causing major health problems. These toxins are simply not visible to us.
You cannot see the heavy metals, pesticides, solvents, or plastics to name but a few, that are entering into your body through the air you breathe, the food you eat or the water you drink!
We only realise something is very wrong when we begin to get ill. Sure enough as toxins accumulate in the body over a period of years, eventually a health problem often materialises.
So many of us assume illness is something that happens quickly; often it can take many years of toxic stress to damage the body sufficiently to the point where you actually become ill! Sometimes the source of toxicity can even date back to when we are born or an expsoure that has occurred during childhood.
What Toxins are Found and Where do They Come From?
The nature of these toxins varies, ranging from heavy metals (mercury, nickel, cadmium) to chemicals, pesticides, hair dyes, solvents, and plastics to name but a few. Doctors have been discovering that these toxins are disrupting the healthy functioning of the body at a cellular and genetic level.
We are being increasingly exposed to so many new chemicals - 5 million new chemicals have been created by man in the last 50 years. Many of these chemicals are known toxins which cause cancer, birth defects, damage to the liver, bone marrow, the nervous and immune systems.
These chemicals are now present in our environment and are found in your food and water. They are also inhaled in the air you breathe and are also absorbed through your skin.
Many of them are very fat soluble and tend to accumulate in our bodies. These low dose chemicals may be more toxic than we ever anticipated because many of them mimic our own hormones. Thus they disrupt the body's delicate hormone balance in us all.
Due to the polluted environment in which we live
we all carry a chemical load -
given life today this is unavoidable!
Outdoor Pollution
The air we breathe sustains human life on earth; yet today much of the air can contain a form of airborne mercury; courtesy of our powerplants that burn coal!
The fact you are inhaling airborne heavy metals goes completely unnoticed as you cannot see any of this going on. However the only alert you get to this fact is when your health begins to fail.
Also air pollution in the form of fuel emissions from cars are known as hydrocarbons, which have a molecular makeup that entices them to react with sunlight and nitrous oxides. When this reaction happens, the molecule actually alters to form what is known as ground level smog. Ground level smog contributes to the air pollution caused by cars that irritate respiratory symptoms, cause cancers, and creates eye irritation.
Nitrous oxides contribute to more air pollution from cars. The nitrogen and the oxygen atoms that are found within the fuel is compounded by the high temperatures that engines run, causing a smashing of atoms that turn the individual atoms into what we know as nitrous oxides. This is one serious cause of acid rain and other air pollution problems.
This is a small example to help us realise that we are constantly exposed to often small or even trace amounts of toxic chemicals, metals, pesticides. Many will say, no matter such small amounts will have no effect.
However most of us are exposed to a vast number of toxins on a daily basis, week after week, month after month, year in year out.
When this is considered the quantities we are exposed to is huge and the point is that these trace amounts begin to accumulate in the body over time. So the resulting effect on peoples health is dramatic!
Indoor Pollution
Polybrominated biphenyls and Antimony are substances used as flame retardants in soft furnishings. It is very common for people to become extremely ill when they have new carpets put in the home. Wall to wall carpeting can be a big health hazard due to the large number of chemicals used to treat the fabrics used.
Actually Indoor air pollution is a bigger problem than outdoors simply because we are now exposed to so many chemicals from cleaning fluids, furnishings, carpets, and flame retardants.
Pesticides
The food we buy and consume looks so good and enticing;
But is it as good as it looks?
So many foods are sprayed with pesticides that if your are ingesting these chemicals year in year out, the body accumulates pesticide residues that can disrupt the healthy functioning of your metabolism.
Heavy Metals
Mercury is commonly found in extremely high levels in peoples bodies and the source can be: dental amalgams, in the air (as discussed below), also as Sushi becomes more popular the ingestion of heavy metals from raw fish is on the increase.
Amazing as it may seem it is not so much the nicotine in cigarettes that causes health problems; the real culprit for health problems are again heavy metals found in the tobacco....namely Cadmium.
Water
Water is so crucial to our health; the body comprises 70 percent water. However most drinking water is laden with Chemicals, Hormones, Chlorine, Fluoride; all of which are toxic and disrupt good health.
There has also been recent concern over chemicals which are not deliberately added to our drinking water but which might accidentally find their way into it.
Traces of toxins from fertilisers, toiletry products, and medicines are often found in water which goes for purification by the water treatment companies but doubts have been raised as to whether the process is able to filter out all the chemicals. Some reports have raised alarm bells that elements of pharmaceutical drugs have been found in tap water which could be detrimental to our health.
Chlorine
Exposure to chlorine can have many side effects including skin reactions and stinging eyes with some scientists believing it also contributes to a hardening of the arteries. They say that adding it to our drinking water could lead to plaque build-up, coronary problems, and strokes in some people.
There is also an additional concern that a side-effect of adding chlorine to our drinking water could cause cancer. When chlorine is added, it will bind with some organic matter to produce toxic trihalomethanes (THMs), which have been shown to act as carcinogens. Although these are found in limited amounts in our drinking water, they are still deemed to be dangerous
to our health in some scientific and environmental quarters.
Fluoride
Fluoride is treated as a toxic substance in many other countries and banned from being added to drinking water.
Toxic Beauty
Life today involves the use of many products especially beauty products. These will be used on a daily basis by many for the majority of their life. Hence the contents of these cosmetics and beauty products that one applies daily is of major significance. Simply because you are being exposed to the chemicals being used in these products so frequently
Many women apply make-up daily, not thinking about what chemicals their products contain. In the article ESTIMATED EXPOSURE TO PHTHALATES IN COSMETICS AND RISK ASSESSMENT, in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, it highlights the risk of the repeated application of products containing harmful chemicals. Unfortunately the self regulation of cosmetics companies has resulted in the continued use of these chemicals. Therefore it’s up to us to be aware of what our make-up contains.
“The average woman eats 4 to 9 pounds of lipstick in her lifetime, that’s somewhere between 481 and 1083 tubes.
A study conducted back in 2004 found that 28% of lipsticks contained
cancer causing chemicals. Modern lipsticks are formulated from upwards of 10,000 chemicals, 89% of which have never been tested for human safety?
Lifestyle
Lifestyle today is a major factor affecting our health. Many of us work long hours often immobile sitting at a desk.
Our recreational activities often involve us being immobile; we sit watching television, films at the cinema, eating meals at a restaurant and going to the theatre.
As enjoyable as these so called activites are; ultimately the body is not moving.
Even when we travel there is little physical exercise invlolved as we travel by car, bus, coach and train. Once again there is little motion invloved.
Many of us may do some exercise at the gymn on a daily basis which is surely helpful, but it is clear that the amount of physical activity we experience on a daily basis is much reduced.
The significance of motion and exercise is that the increased blood flow resulting will circulate blood and nutrients throughout the body. Most importantly this increased blood flow will flush toxins out of the the cells of the body.
If you do not move so much this natural process of elimination is reduced. The result is that the body will start to accumulate toxins leading to the disruption of your good health.
