"Cleansing" the body is possible from the inside as well as the outside. When most people think of cleansing, they think of some horrible laxative effect to clean them out. Cleansing can be done very gently over a longer period of time. Cleansing the body can effect every tissue level within the body and its result is a general feeling of well being. Most people try a cleanse because they feel sluggish, are gaining weight, have a poor diet, too much good stuff over the holidays, or they’ve been exposed to some chemical or poisoning. We are bombarded by chemicals and toxins daily from our water, homes and the air we breathe. Our body deals with toxins by metabolizing them in certain specific biochemical pathways in the body. However many toxins end up being stored in the fat tissue on our bodies. There are some very reliable lab tests to determine the levels of toxicity on the body and the ability to identify certain toxins within the body. The following protocols will deal with alcohol detoxification, mercury detoxification and general body detoxification.

Some physicians believe that many diseases may be caused by chemical overload: dermatological disorders, muscle fatigue/pain, heart palpitations, nervous system problems, mood disorders, poor memory, allergies, arthritis, etc.
