In a nut-shell, the detox programme I facilitate is primarily to cleanse, heal and strengthen the digestive system. A healthy digestive system is essential for over-all health. Once the digestive system has been optimised, the body is better able to absorb the nutrients it needs from a healthy diet, and to discard any toxins it doesn't need. The cleanse is a liquid only fast - fruit and vegetable juices, broth, herbal teas and water. The exclusion of solids from the diet ensures a rest for the digestive system. In addition to the liquids, you take bentonite clay, psyllium husk and specific cleansing herbs and supplements to assist with the cleanse. Enemas can also be used to facilitate the cleansing of the bowel and colon.
The majority of people have a build-up of hardened toxic deposits on the intestinal wall which the body battles to get rid of. These deposits (mucoid plaque) can impede the necessary absorption of nutrients through the intestinal walls, preventing the body from obtaining what it needs to be healthy and strong. This detox programme focuses on removing such deposits and restoring optimum intestinal functioning.
Depending on individual needs, there are also opportunities for even deeper cleansing and healing. The programme offers optional:
* Parasite Cleanse
* Liver Flush
* Kidney Flush
* Candida Treatment
After the detox, acidophilus is provided to replace the friendly bacteria that may have been flushed from the colon.
