Real Weight Loss?

7 Organs You Must Detox First Before Weight Loss Can Become Permanent


The holidays often bring the trifecta of overindulgence—foods, sweets, and drinks that leave us feeling sluggish and heavy. By January 2nd, many people start thinking: Should I get a new gym membership? Try keto? Paleo? Vegan?


The truth is, no matter how disciplined your goals, weight loss will not be permanent until you address the root cause: toxic overload.


Why Toxins Are Stored in Fat Cells

Your body has an incredible system for handling toxins, but after years of processed foods, polluted air, pesticides, and chemicals, the liver eventually becomes overloaded.


Think of your liver as a furnace filter. At first, it traps and processes toxins gracefully. But just like the furnace filter you forgot to change, eventually it gets clogged. Once that happens, your body needs a backup storage system —so it shuttles toxins into fat cells.


Those fat cells become like an “overflow garage” full of old junk you’ve been meaning to clean out. If you want lasting fat loss, you must first clear out the toxins.


Signs of Toxic Overload


Before the weight shows up, your body often sends signals:

  • Aching, arthritic joints
  • Brain fog
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Thyroid dysfunction
  • Skin issues like hives or psoriasis


These are signs your detox pathways are struggling.


The 7 Detox Pathways You Must Open 


You cannot simply burn away fat cells without first clearing the body’s detox “garages.” The key organs and systems are:

  1. Colon
  2. Small Intestine
  3. Lymphatic System
  4. Kidneys
  5. Lungs
  6. Skin
  7. Liver


Your liver is the conductor, performing hundreds of processes daily, including cleansing the blood. Your lymphatic system alone contains 45 pints of interstitial fluid, constantly pulling toxins from tissues and dumping them into the blood for the liver to filter. When the liver is overloaded, toxins get rerouted into fat cells, making lasting weight loss impossible.


Why Weight Loss Often Fails

If you’ve ever lost weight only to gain it back—or hit a plateau where stubborn areas refuse to budge—the culprit isn’t lack of willpower. It’s toxic load.


Until you open the detox pathways, especially starting with the colon (the body’s biggest “garage door”), the body has nowhere safe to send the toxic debris. Once the colon, small intestine, liver, and blood are cleared, fat cells can finally release their stored waste.


The Path to Real Change


Permanent weight loss is not about another trendy diet. It’s about cleansing and restoring your body’s natural detox systems so fat is no longer needed as a toxic storage unit.


At Living Waters, we help clients begin with colon hydrotherapy, then support the small intestine, liver, and lymphatic system to restore balance, energy, and health.

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.
