What is Detoxification Anyway? Part 2

September 17, 2009 - 2:27pm 535 reads 0 comments

I titled this series “What is detoxification anyway” because I have many people coming into my practice asking to do a detox program because they think it will teach them how to eat better or to lose weight. I have many people who are feeling sluggish or don’t have any energy and want to feel better and they have heard that detoxing will give them energy back.

I want people to understand that we all have detoxification processes that are at work every day to help us rid our body of toxins. There are times in our life where we might need a specific treatment plan for detoxification to improve our detoxification processes.

When patients come in or call my office to get help creating a detoxification plan I always ask if they have any diagnosis or health imbalances. The reason this is important is because they are some more drastic forms of detoxification like juice fasting, extended sauna or other hot temperature treatments, or colonics that might not be appropriate for certain health conditions.
