Text Box: DETOXING BEFORE RAMADAN By By Abdel J. Nuriddin, N.D., Ph.D The blessed month of Ramadan is not too far in the distant future before its commencement. As Muslims know the entire ummah (community) is enjoined to fast as one of the sacred principals of this great religion, Al-Islam. Needless to say the peace we will derive from the fast is expected to be blissful. I pray that Allah will bless each of you with a successful fast and hope that the many wonderful blessings that will come during and after the fast will be serene and fruitful. Each year at the commencement of the fast many Muslims experience some discomfort getting into the fast as the body begins to purge itself of un-wanted toxins. This is a natural outcome of a body that is heavily laden with waste that has not been eliminated before the fast. Yet Allah does not want you to incur hardship through the process of fasting, He wills that you complete the fast without sickness and difficulty. Subjecting ourselves to preliminary days of fasting leading up to the fast can help. But I think more importantly is the consumption of clean water daily based on body weight and life style that will help even more. Because the body constitution is approximately 75% water and maybe more, the primary way to address our health should be through our water consumption first. However the western model of medicine treats the body as if it were solid first then solution. This perception is inaccurate. Prescriptions of pills, powders and tonics are prescribed before water. Every cell in the body is more fluid than solid. The vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and nucleic acids only make up approximately 25% of the cell. The water is the most important thing to be kept clean and healthy to insure the health of the cellular tissue. Your body has an intracellular and extracellular fluid that it is bathing the solids in. These solids make up red blood cells, white blood cells and other tissue. If the fluid (blood and lymph) that surround the tissue is toxic, it will cause the tissue to be weak and sickly. Let’s examine fish in a fish bowel. You feed the fish and the fish excretes its waste. If you continue the process without cleaning the water, the water will become acidic. In time the water will become dirty, murky and develop a foul odor; the fish will lose vitality and begin to suffocate in their own waste if you don’t change the water. However, as soon as you change the water the fish will come back to better life. This same scenario occurs in the human body; your cells feed and excrete and elimination of the waste from the body fluids must take place or the body (cells) will become sick. The acid alkaline level of the water is a main determinant to the health of the fish in the tank, as also the determinant of the health of the cells in the human body. When acids build in the blood from poor digestion, poor elimination or from the consumption of acids in our food and drinks we must move our fluid constitution toward alkaline or sickness will be a sure thing. Your blood pH should be 7.4 alkaline. If your blood pH drops to 7.0 pH, you could go into a coma and die. The importance of drinking alkaline water cannot be understated. However every U.S. municipality is under federal regulation to make sure the water coming out of your tap is only neutral water or 7.0 pH and not alkaline. The importance of eating a diet that is 80% alkaline 20% acid helps to keep your blood pH alkaline. However because water is the most abundant element in the human body, the water should be the first necessity of alkalinity. As Imam Yahya Abdullah of Texas has said, “the solution is the solution”. A healthy person should be drinking ½ their weight in ounces daily. If you do strenuous work, body build or you have some health disorder you should drink ¾ of your weight in ounces daily. If you drink this amount with acid water it will prevent you from suffering dehydration but ultimately it will bring unwanted consequences because of the acidity. If you drink that amount with neutral water that’s clean, it will prevent dehydration but it won’t do what alkalized water will do which is to build better health in your body daily. If you have a desire to build better health in your body daily then you must drink alkaline water preferably with a negative oxidation reduction potential. This quality of water will start detoxing you before Ramadan and if you drink it daily it will lead to good health.
