Four thousand years ago, according to the earliest medical textbook ever discovered (the Ebers papyrus, found in the sands of Egypt), physicians were already using enemas to help the body cleanse and fight off disease. Around the year 400 BCE, Hippocrates, the Greek doctor generally accepted as the father of Western medicine, gave his patients cleansing herbs to help their bodies heal and was an advocate of fasting for improved health. Galen, another highly influential Greek physician, born 129 CE, believed cleansing was crucial to keeping the body in balance and good health. Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional healing system that has developed over thousands of years, utilizes detoxification methods to treat many chronic conditions and prevent illness.

It's important to understand that several factors contribute to weight gain, two of which are the combinations of toxins and the faulty diets. Both of these can create a condition in the body by which you become insulin resistant=your cells become desensitized to insulin, making them ineffective at driving blood sugar (glucose) into your cells. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas in response to a meal; its job is to unlock your tissues and escort glucose out of the blood into tissue cells for use as energy. When excess glucose remains in the blood, insulin levels stay high. Even though the right amount of insulin is essential for life, chronically elevated insulin can cause both fat storage and more inflammation, which can promote even more fat storage. Because detox programs entail a high-quality diet, hydration, exercise, and proper elimination, blood sugar balance is achieved, normalizing insulin levels, decreasing inflammation, and helping one to lose fat!
