16 Warning Signs of a Toxic Body and 12 Steps to Detox
Your body is always talking to you — are you listening?
When you notice things like tumors, cysts, polyps, hemorrhoids, fatty liver, swollen lymph
glands, bad breath, body odor, very smelly stools, itchy scalp, hives, psoriasis, acne, a
coated tongue, dark circles under the eyes, thinning hair or nails, or chronic constipation,
it’s a clear message:
👉 Your body is overdue for a detox.
Understanding the Warning Signs
These symptoms are your body’s way of saying its detoxification pathways are overloaded. The
main pathways include the colon, small intestine, kidneys, liver, and skin.
It’s easy to focus only on the symptom — removing a cyst or polyp, for example — but if the
root cause (toxicity) isn’t addressed, your body may create another issue elsewhere. In some
cases, small fragments or “roots” from a polyp or tumor can even travel through the blood or
lymphatic system to other organs.
Over time, if you don’t clean up your diet and detox your system, these warning signs can
keep coming back. Prevention is always easier than cure. Think of these symptoms as your
body’s internal dashboard lights — when they start blinking, it’s time to take action.
12 Steps to Detox Your Body
1. Acupuncture
– Helps realign and balance the body’s energy flow.
2. Emotional Release
– Let go of stored emotional trauma with a skilled coach or therapist.
Emotional healing is physical healing.
3. Chiropractic Care
– Keeps your structure in alignment so energy and fluids can flow
properly.
4. Energy Work
– Practices like Reiki, EFT, or Ondamed frequency therapy support the
body’s energetic balance.
5. Hydration
– Drink plenty of clean water daily to help your body flush toxins.
6. Juicing
– Invest in a quality juicer and flood your cells with fresh, living nutrients for
repair and renewal.
7. Nutritional Supplementation
– Use high-quality supplements to fill in the nutritional
gaps and fuel your cellular engines.
8. Far Infrared Therapy –
Detox deeply; up to 20% of sweat from far infrared saunas
contains toxins, compared to just 2% in traditional steam saunas.
9. Lymphatic Movement
– You have about 45 pints of lymph fluid and up to 800 lymph
nodes! Keep them moving with walking, rebounding (mini trampoline), or vibration
therapy.
10. Cleanse the Blood
– Enzyme therapy and liver flushing are powerful ways to purify and
restore vitality.
11. Sound Therapy
– Healing frequencies and crystal bowls help realign your body’s natural
energy rhythms.
12. Colon Hydrotherapy
– Your 35 feet of intestines have the surface area of a tennis court
— and many people carry 12–15 pounds of old waste! Clearing the colon enhances every
other detox step.

Don’t ignore the “check engine” lights on your body’s dashboard. When you notice these
warning signs, take action — open those detox pathways and support your body’s natural ability

Fatigue, gas, bloating, joint pain, brain fog and even cancer and more may be linked to one animal you don’t want as a pet yet may have been living within us for years. Experts believe most of the population is infected with parasites in some manner, some with more severe infections than others. This problem in not limited to people that travel to foreign countries. According to gastroenterologist Dr. Robyn Chutkan, M.D., author of the bestselling book Gutbliss, millions of people suffer from parasites. Parasites can linger undetected in the intestinal tract for years. One study of people with chronic fatigue syndrome found that over 46 percent of them were infected with parasites. Becoming infected isn’t difficult. Many everyday experiences can bring us into contact with parasites: eating sushi or pork, walking barefoot, playing with a pet, eating raw or unwashed food, having unprotected sex, drinking unfiltered water, kissing and even touching something that was previously touched by an infected person. There are parasites we can see, like tapeworms, larvae, hook worms, rope worms and liver flukes that bury themselves in the intestines and liver. There are also hundreds of other parasites we don’t see that live in our skin, blood and organs. Parasites are beings and as such create waste products and give off energy, an energy that may not be serving our higher purpose. One theory holds that the intense energy of the full moon affects parasites as much as it affects humans, compounding the problems seen by emergency room medics, police and firefighters as increasingly active parasites produce larger numbers of eggs and increased waste products. Things we can do to help eliminate parasites. Deworm pets regularly. Regularly wash hands, clothes, bedding and fresh vegetables. Freeze meats, including fish. When drying hands in the bathroom, don’t use a previously used towel. Eat two cloves of garlic a day. It’s a natural antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-parasitic. Take an herbal formula with wormwood, cloves and black walnut green hull. Take a digestive enzyme to increase stomach acids. Eat a mixture of papaya seeds with honey. Pumpkin seeds are good too. Drink a tablespoon of bentonite clay twice per day. Use a wearable parasite zapper that emits a frequency the bugs don’t like. Use a pulse frequency machine, like the Ondamed, that has been programmed with hundreds of parasite-specific frequencies. Do several colonic sessions. The warm water will help evacuate unwanted pests. David DeHaas is a colon hydrotherapist and naturopathic health coach at Living Waters Wellness Center, 855 S. Curtis Rd., Boise.
