Detoxing, drainage or bio-detoxification diets are some things that many of you have heard, but may not know that much about. There are many different detoxification programs out there, but the most effective detoxification programs are pharmaceutical grade, and focus on the liver. This is the main detox organ of your body and in this day and age it is extremely overworked. Toxins come from: Your body, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, industrial compounds, smog, medications, ect. Although our bodies go through their own detoxification and drainage process, it isn’t always enough. Which is why using a customized detoxification program for you created by Physician who understands the process is important.
A detoxification program will utilize the:
- Lymphatic system: transports the toxic substances
- Liver: helps transform toxic substances into nontoxic, water soluble forms.
- Kidneys: involved with the filtering of fluids that contain toxins
- Bowels: works to protect our bodies from harmful substances and infections
- Skin: used in the excretion process of toxins
- Lungs: used in the exhaling of gaseous toxins
This type of treatment isn’t limited to any type of patient. It can be done for weight loss, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, irritable bowels, etc. There are various programs out there, some that are gentle and easy and some that are more aggressive. A combination of a gentle start with a more aggressive finish yields great results in our experience.
