Medec Detox

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Different civilizations over many centuries have used ionized mineral water to restore health and well-being without knowing about the scientific processes. Regular bathing or soaking in hot mineral springs or spas was recommended by health physicians to optimize good health.

Several locations around the world provide areas or “pools” of naturally occurring ionized water including the Roman baths at Bath in the United Kingdom or the ancient spas in Belgium and Baden Baden (Germany). Physicians of the Roman Empire recognized Sanus Per Aqua = Health by water, Solus Per Aqua = Enter by means of water.

These Roman inscriptions in the ancient Bath chambers of Spa (Belgium) show that Roman physicians already knew that minerals can enter the body via suitable water and thereby can restore energy and health. The Chinese and Japanese cultures have also used mineralized water and steam baths to maintain energy and prevent illness.

Another more common example of using ionized water is bathing in the sea. Regular bathing in very salty water has also been acclaimed over the years to restore health, vitality and energy levels.

While the health benefi ts of using ionized water have been acclaimed for centuries, it is only recently that health practitioners and scientists have studied and understood the positive effects of ionized water. As a result of this research, MEDEC engineers have reproduced Mother Nature’s spa for everyday home use in the form of the MEDEC DETOX.

WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF TOXINS ON THE BODY?

A German scientist, Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, was the first to recognize the negative effects of toxins to the health of an organism. He developed a theory of homotoxicology (Footnote 1) that suggested disease is ultimately caused by a surplus of toxins.

Every day, we absorb substances from food that we eat, the air we breathe and the water we drink. Further toxins are created by the metabolic process within the body itself = homotoxins. A well functioning body has a number of different mechanisms for fi ltering and eliminating toxins from the body including sweating, urinating, excreting and breathing.

Toxins, which are not removed, are stored in the interconnectivity tissue which acts as a form of waste dump in the body. Once toxins build up to far, they penetrate into body cells and accumulate in the tissue of the extremities and fi nally even in various organs such as kidneys, liver and intestines. If the body is unable to fully eliminate these toxins, Reckeweg suggested that the health of the organism is disturbed and the early stages of disease are seen.

The homotoxicology theory states six distinct phases of disease due to an increasing overload of different toxins.

1. Excretion Phase
   The body’s immune system is intact and resorts to alternative methods of excreting the overload of toxins such as diarrhea or a runny nose.



2. Inflammation Phase
   If the excretion phase does not remove the overload of toxins, the body resorts to an infl ammatory response in an attempt to neutralize the toxins.



3. Deposition Phase
   If the toxins cannot or have not been fully excreted and new toxins continue to enter the body, the toxins are stored in the fl uid between cells (intracellular space).



4. Impregnation Phase
   The toxins from the intracellular space invade and enter the cell. This phase often results in severe health symptoms and some damage to different organs.



5. Degeneration Phase
   The high concentration of toxins within the cells destroys large groups of cells resulting in organ degeneration.



6. Differentiation Phase
   Illnesses during this phase are characterized by the creation of non specialized cell forms.
