Illnesses should serve as a wake-up call for us to change our unhealthy habits. The toxins that cause illnesses make their way into our bodies through the skin, breathing, and digestive systems. Additionally, modern life often involves sitting most of the day, leading to insufficient physical movement (some toxins are expelled through sweat), inadequate breathing, and lack of sleep (significant cleansing occurs during sleep). These bad habits harm the body and weaken its defense systems, which are constantly occupied with detoxification instead of fighting diseases. Consequently, many people suffer from chronic conditions and various minor ailments.
Main Causes of Illness:
Physical Toxicity - Disease occurs when there is an abundance of toxins from food and waste from dead tissues being replaced by new ones. Nowadays, some believe that our bodies also suffer from radiation pollution from cell towers and electronic devices surrounding us. People often overlook this, but it might be a significant factor in today's illnesses, alongside diet (more on this in the upcoming edition of our book "Nutrition Secrets," to be released next month, with Hashem's help). In order to expel toxins, the body must expend precious energy. Poor eating habits and exposure to a polluted environment create excessive waste and consume energy needed for cleansing and healing.
Mental Toxicity - Illness also arises from exhaustion of the nervous system due to mental and emotional stress. A weakened nervous system struggles to eliminate toxins. A person needs strong, healthy waste elimination organs that are neither exhausted nor blocked - clean skin free of unnatural creams and ointments, a non-fatty liver functioning well, strong kidneys, clear lungs, and intestines without constipation. It's important to know that touch therapies strengthen the nervous system, and combined with a cleansing diet, they can help the body expel toxins. Conditions like mononucleosis, nervous breakdowns, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and similar illnesses often stem from mental toxicity due to life’s overwhelming demands. Detoxification greatly aids in healing these diseases, especially when one adopts a less stressful and hectic lifestyle.
