Is a Detoxification Program Right For You?

Because we are exposed to numerous toxins on a daily basis, a healthy detoxification program may be of great benefit to all of us. A healthy detoxification program, however, is specifically designed to help patients suffering from conditions that may be associated with metabolic toxicity.

These conditions include: migraine headaches, generalized arthralgias, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, food allergy or intolerance, atopic symptoms (e.g., eczema, hives), chemical or environmental sensitivities, and alcohol or chemical dependency.

A healthy approach to detoxification is to nourish your body thoroughly, fueling its natural detoxification mechanism with the nutrients needed to achieve optimal detoxification activity. By providing high quality protein, complex carbohydrates, and essential fats, your body will get what it needs to prevent muscle and organ breakdown and depleted energy resources. But that is just the beginning. Various nutrients and herbs are needed to support the function of the liver, the intestinal tract, and the kidneys—organs directly involved in detoxification. These nutrients and herbs include magnesium, N-acetylcysteine, folate, methionine, choline, ellagic acid, catechins, watercress, silymarin, artichoke, and vitamins B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), and B5.
