The Importance of Regular Detox

Cleansing, Detoxification and Fasting are therapeutic modalities that have been practised for thousands of years. In Ancient times it was noted that Hippocrates, Buddha, and Pythagoras, just to name a few, all used fasting as a way to gain enlightenment and purify the body.



The one and only solution to pollution is purification.


Pollution is a basic fact of life. No one is immune to it. Although the human body is designed to cleanse itself naturally of the normal waste products of digestion and metabolism, it is clearly not equipped to deal with the additional toxic overload from chemical preservatives and pesticides, pharmaceutical drugs and artificial foods, and other sources of internal toxicity that have become common in modern lifestyles. This internal pollution is the major cause of disease, degeneration, and a foreshortened life span in our modern world.


Toxemia in the body and in the blood can over years contribute to a chronic build up of toxic waste matter that slowly filters into the blood and organs and hence cause chronic disease. The only real way to clean up the internal environment is to allow the purification systems of the body to be stimulated by undergoing a therapeutic detox ir cleansing program. Fortunately a systemic detox can be done simply, quickly and efficiently. It is recommended to do a three to seven day organic juice fasting program with colonic hydrotherapy on a yearly basis to keep your systemic microcosm clear and free from accumulated toxic build up and disease.


It takes approximately 3 days for toxins to be eliminated from the organs and 7 to 10 days to purify the bloodstream.


The first and foremost strategy in any detox program is to flush acid residues out of the lymphatic system, blood, and other bodily fluids, all of which should be slightly alkaline. Almost all toxins in the body are acidic, and these acids must therefore be neutralized and flushed out of the system to restore normal alkaline balance to the blood and other bodily fluids.
