· Exercise: Exercise increases sweating, increases lymphatic drainage and increases oxygen to the tissues.
· Take a steam or sauna: Sweating helps the body to eliminate toxins.
· Eat vegetables: Fiber helps cleanse the body, and vegetables are very high in fiber. Also, vegetables that are high in sulfur, like cauliflower, broccoli, onions or garlic, are especially useful for helping the body to detoxify.
· Drink plenty of water: Your body needs water to eliminate waste. It is vital that you drink enough water.
· Avoid chemical additives: Probably the most important step in eliminating chemicals from the body is to stop consuming them. Try to eat organic produce and to not eat too many animal products. Also avoid refined sugar and hydrogenated oil.
· Avoid hydrogenated and partially-hydrogenated oil and deep-fried food.
· Avoid refined sugar and refined carbohydrates.

Additional recommendations (your doctor may want to individualize the nutrient and lifestyle recommendations for you):

The liver has over 500 known functions. It is involved with digestion, the endocrine system, controlling blood sugar, and protein and fat metabolism.
Chemical exposure in this part of the 20th century is unprecedented in history. The average American consumes 10 pounds of chemical food additives each year. Add to that the chemical burden caused by food sprayed with pesticides and from air and water pollution, you can see that our chemical burden is considerable.

The body has systems designed to eliminate waste and to detoxify poisons. The liver chemically converts toxins to be easily eliminated by the kidneys. Detoxification is an ongoing process. The sheer volume of chemicals in the environment and in the diet has caused many people to reach their threshold of tolerance, which has adversely affected their health.

When the body is burdened with more chemicals than it can efficiently detoxify, chronic health problems can occur. Problems like allergies, skin problems, digestive problems, headaches, fatigue, joint pain and a variety of ailments can be caused by chemical exposure. Theron Randolph, MD, and early researcher of chronic allergies, was convinced that the increased incidence of allergies and other chronic health problems in the latter half of the 20th century is due to the amount of chemicals we are exposed to on a day-to-day basis.
