Nopalea Cactus Juice
Pain and Inflammation Relief

In today's world, toxins bombard us from all areas of our lives… chemicals in our food, water and air, cleaning products, pesticides, herbicides and a host of other environmental pollutants. Air Pollution in the Philippines is particularly bad

To counter these increasingly prolific external toxins, a variety of methods have been proposed – from detoxifying products such as colon cleanses and sweat spas to extreme fasts and special diets. But these methods are unproven and potentially harmful. One product that is been used in Manila is a paint that uses sunlight to transform poisons in the air, particularly nitrogen oxide, into a harmless residue that is easily washed away by rain.

Nutrients in Nopalea cactus juice can also help your body detoxify by supporting your body's natural detoxification processes, many of which occur in the liver and kidneys.

The liver's role in detoxifying the body

The liver is the largest internal organ in the body and performs many vital functions, including:

• Creation of bile, a yellowish-green fluid that is necessary for digestion
• Production of clotting factors and proteins
• Regulation of glucose in the blood and storage of extra sugar
• Storage of vitamins and minerals

The liver also plays a key role in detoxifying your body. Enzymes in the liver help break down toxins in the bloodstream, which are then excreted into the bile or blood. Bile by-products enter the intestine and eventually leave through the stool. Blood by-products head toward the kidneys.

Detoxifying the body is not without risks to the liver: over time, breaking down certain prescription and over-the-counter medications, chemicals and alcohol can damage liver cells, which can result in liver disease.

The kidneys' role in detoxifying the body

The kidneys are two fist-sized, bean-shaped organs that work to keep the blood clean and chemically balanced. Each day, the kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood, sifting out about two quarts of waste and extra water, which become urine.

Waste in the blood comes from food and the normal breakdown of tissue. After the body takes what it needs from food, the waste is sent to the blood. Units in the kidneys called nephrons filter out this waste, keeping normal proteins and cells in the bloodstream. There are about a million nephrons in each kidney. If the kidneys did not filter waste, it would build up in the blood and damage the body.

In addition to waste removal, kidneys also:

• Regulate the body's salt, potassium and acid levels
• Produce a hormone that stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells
• Release hormones that regulate blood pressure
• Help maintain calcium for bones and for chemical balance in the body

Kidney diseases, arising from conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, birth defects and genetic diseases, attack the nephrons, reducing their filtering ability. When kidney function is less than 25%, serious health problems can occur. When it drops below 15%, dialysis or kidney transplant is required to prevent death.

Toxins, medications and drugs can also damage the kidneys.
