Spiritual and literal healing is promised for those who are willing to examine themselves. It is a process of restoration, becoming free from ways of thinking that Satan planted.

When our thinking doesn't line up with God's, it isn't our thinking at all - but Satan’s lies. For, we wrestle not against flesh and blood ... and if we do, we're going to become weak, sickly, or asleep (missing God's blessings), I Co. 11:30.

Once we get a glimpse into that, whenever anything makes us feel anxious, worried, insecure, or any other negative feeling - we can continue to take those things to God so we can find our way to more areas of inner healing.

Learn to protect your mind. Take Satan by force (cleaning inside of cup) and outside will take care of itself.

God is very pleased when His people consider that there is more to knowing Him. For those who dare take journey through refiner's fire, no doubt, God has some special purpose for you. Doing so makes one a purified vessel that God can both teach and use.

Some health care professional recommend chelation therapy to remove heavy metals from body. This type of therapy uses a synthetic amino acid EDTA, that may be injected into bloodstream, or an oral chelate may be used instead. The American Heart Association and other scientific organizations have spoken out against this type of treatment. When considering a heavy metal detox program, it's important to check out all options first. All dental amalagam fillings should be removed by a qualified dentist who specializes in doing it properly. Drink plenty of purified water, use only natural deoderants and cosmetics, avoid antacids and cigarette smoking, and replace aluminum cookware with stainless steel. Detox often if exposed to roofing materials, or if you work or live next to a gas station, or any place that emits or handles dangerous toxic chemicals.

Safe and effective methods of eliminating heavy metals can be found at any health food store:

Cilantro - binds so body can remove metals through urine. Apple pectin - binds and eliminates heavy metals. Chlorella and algae - binds and removes toxins as well as replaces minerals and nutrients. N-Acetyl Cysteine - stimulates detoxification in liver. Milk Thistle - supports liver and helps cleanse and detoxify. Alpha Lipoic Acid - anitoxidant.

Juicing with fresh fruits and vegetables is another way of ridding body of unwanted toxins and heavy metals. Beneficial juices include carrots, beets, kale, spinach, garlic, wheat grass, barley grass, parsley, and cilantro. Other choices are fruits such as grapes, cherries, grapefruit, blueberries, and lemons. Juicing not only supplies body with masaive amounts of nutrition, but it flushes and cleanses all organs, balances metabolism, and aids in effective enzyme acitvity. It is very important to use only organic fruits and vegetables which are free of insecticides, pesticicides and chemicals. Additional fiber should be added such as psyllium and steel cut oats. Make sure you drink plenty of distilled water to flush out all toxic substances.
