Spiritual Weight Loss
This problem is exacerbated by nutritional deficiencies, especially mineral
deficiencies, because without all the proper minerals and trace elements your
body can not eliminate toxins. To burn fat, you need to first provide your body
with the proper nutrition to get it into a “fat burning” mode, as described in
Chapter 2. However, you must also provide your body with the right nutritional
support to cleanse itself of harmful toxins, including acidic waste products, heavy
metals, and chemical poisons, because as long as it needs fat cells to store
toxins, it won't burn the fat!
When the body burns fat cells, impurities are released into the blood stream.
Then, active enzymes and trace minerals are required to carry the toxins into the
liver, and then into the colon to be eliminated from the body. But due to the
devastation of our food supply, there are no minerals left in our food! And most of
our foods are essentially dead and have no active enzymes in them, so if you
cleanse without proper nutritional support the toxins are just re-circulated and
stored again. Ouch! Hence, there is a need for a combination of proper nutrition
and cleansing.
When you try to diet without proper cleansing, calorie deficits cause your body to
burn lean muscle mass, creating an acidic environment (described below.) The
acidic environment is a breeding ground for disease, and increases levels of the
hormones cortisol and insulin, which further locks down your fat stores. It also
leaches minerals from your bones, and interferes with your brain chemistry. The
result: you are sick, tired, overweight, and feel terrible most of the time! (Does
that sound familiar?)
Types of Toxicity 
There are many kinds of toxins in our modern world. And because the Earth's
ecosystem is so tightly linked together, it is simply not possible to avoid toxicity
by moving to a rural area; at best you will simply change or (if you are lucky)
reduce the amount and kinds of toxins you are taking in. In fact, oftentimes
