Why Detox?
Do yourself a favor and read The Hundred Year Lie: How Food And Medicine Are Destroying Your Health (2006) by investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald. This book examines the rise of the local and global influence of the United States food and chemical industries. The Hundred Year Lie illustrates how by introducing synthetic chemicals into our food and water supply over the past century the chemical and food industry has altered and damaged the lives of millions of people in the United States. While there may have been a good intention it has produced disastrous results. From micro plastics in our water, dioxins in our food, bisphenol A, valproic acid, and organochlorine compounds affecting our in-utero development. Chemicals surround us: in our clothing, bedding, furniture, water, food, air, and vehicles. The good news is our body is incredible at handling the constant onslaught of toxins. The bad news is with the ever growing chemical list to which we are exposed, our bodies become overburdened. Here is a link to a toxicity questionnaire to help you determine your bodies burden. So what are we to do?
My favorite tool is Standard Processes 21 Day Purification Program. The 21-day Standard Process Purification Program isn’t just a cleanse diet (no colon cleanse!). It is a structured program that brings healthy lifestyle habits into focus. It’s designed to purify, nourish, and help you maintain a healthy body weight. It’s easy to follow: eat whole foods, exercise (walk), drink nutritious shakes (I use one shake as breakfast), and take supplements made with whole food and other ingredients. The menu includes a varied abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits for the first 10 days, with proteins added on day 11. The supplements support the body’s ability to naturally remove occurring toxins. Before and after blood labs (glucose, hemoglobin A1C, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides) are a fantastic way to objectively see the changes. Here is a link to the program guide book. Look it over and ask me questions.
Do yourself and your loved ones a favor - invest in your health. I want you to be healthy and strong until you are 100. Join me and my office and start the 21 Day Purification Program January 2nd. Have your spouse or a friend do it with you - we are more successful when we have an accountability partner.
I believe in you.
