4 Ways to Detox GMOs from Your Body to Minimize Damaging Effects
Healthy Living
Genetically modified organisms are hiding throughout the U.S. food supply. And try as you might to avoid them, if you eat at a restaurant, are forced to pick up a snack from a vending machine, or even if you take supplements that don’t explicitly state they are GMO-free, you are likely ingesting some GMOs. But the good news is that you may be able to detox these GMOs from your body – a few tips are just below.
Many GMO foods, but specifically corn, have been studied with frightening outcomes. From simple effects like weight gain to more serious ones like organ disruption and massive tumors, we have only really scratched the surface on all of the potential effects of these lab-created foods. This is why it is vitally important to regularly cleanse and detoxify your body of foreign health-wreaking materials. Keeping them out of your diet is the first step in ensuring you don’t experience their effects, but since GMOs can’t truly be avoided, detoxing is another route you’ll want to take.
Here are 4 simple ways to potentially detox GMOs from your body:
1. Increased Fiber Consumption
One of the best ways to ensure your body is eliminating those things which it has no use for (heavy metals, GM-toxins, and food additives) is through a high-fiber diet. This is achieved by eating plenty of plant foods but also by occasionally detoxing with something like psyllium husk.
Psyllium husk creates a sort of gel that, when consumed with plenty of water, will flush out the digestive tract, essentially taking all lingering toxins along. You can find organic psyllium husk at most health food stores or online.
2. Consume Probiotics and Fermented Foods
Your digestive system should be well-equipped for dealing with foreign invaders like GMOs and other toxins. When you eat fermented foods and consume probiotics, you create a healthy bacterial balance, ensuring your “gut bacteria” is able to break down and eliminate harmful substances in your diet. Consuming probiotics will also help your body to detox the Bt-toxin found in GMO crops.
3. Organic Sulfur
Jonathan Benson at NaturalNews suggests organic sulfur as a must-have for detoxing the liver. He calls this substance, also known as methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), “a critical component in detoxification, energy production, cell oxygenation, and immune capacity.” While it used to be found throughout the food supply, it has fallen by the wayside with “advances” in agriculture. Now, you can find organic, lignin-based sulfur crystals to help make up for the loss.

4. Other Detoxifying Herbs
Other herbs that can help ensure GM foods don’t wreak havoc on your health are cascara sagrada and wild burdock root. Cascara sagrada is a cleansing herb, one that has been used for ages among indigenous people. It will clean out your digestive system and ensure healthy elimination. Wild burdock root also has cleansing properties, but works in a different manner. It is a diuretic and is considered a blood-cleanser.
Avoiding genetically modified foods should be your first line of defense. But creating a healthy body to fight those that do get in is important too. Regular cleansing and detoxification will help you avoid the negative effects of these and other modern food additives.

This article is bogus from beginning to end. First off, the one and only study noted is widely discredited (google seralini affair) and for good reason. It was junk science. So the entire premise of “GMO’s being toxic” is flawed in the first place.
Then you have this idea that the recommendations provided could purge you of said imaginary toxins, without any proof of their efficacy or safety. That is just made up junk. Just pure fantasy.
Your article, Elizabeth Renter, is based on a flawed premise and is made up of imagination and lies. Why does anyone read, much less believe, any of this hogwash? I have no idea.
What pharma company do you work for genius…
GMOs are not toxic. Period. Please first provide proof that they are toxic. And not from the thoroughly debunked Seralini study.
And the fact that you only allow persons who agree with you to post comments is further proof that you know what you are publishing here is wrong.
Drink loads and loads of water to flush out the toxins. At least eight
glasses a day are a must however have at least 2-3 litres in the day

It’s really tough to eat out anymore (in the U.S) if you really want to avoid GMOs. Unless you live in a city like Oregon, San Francisco, and Vermont – then you might have more choices. Although more and more cities are opting for healthier choices (there’s a big demand now for juice bars and vegan cuisine). But you really have to know your restaurant, where they get their food from, how they prepare it (oils they use) etc…. It’s very unlikely that tofu is organic (unless stated) and that GMO soy/canola is not used. The only sure way is to cook/prepare your food yourself and have “dinner parties.”
use unfiltered unpasteurized organic apple cider vinegar with the mother, Bragg is a good brand.
naturally fermented pickled cabbage (Sauerkraut) does the job masterfully of all of the above.. russian, polish and eastern europeans loveitt why dont you ..
An organic detox kit with clay and herbs is also good.
