Want to do a detox but finding it difficult to determine which program to use? You're not alone.
As a wellness advisor, I probably get more questions on detoxing and cleansing than anything else.
I hope this information will help you learn to ferret out the best detox programs as you seek for the right detox for you.
If you suspect you may have heavy metals, parasites or vitamin deficiencies caused by these and other colon imbalances, it can also be very helpful to have hair analysis done. Hair analysis can help identify specific heavy metals you might be accumulating, so that you can locate a cleanse that will cover those metals. Hair analysis can also help identify important vitamin and mineral deficiencies that may be affecting your health.

the best full body detox program
Profile in Health and Wellness: Reducing the Risk of a Healing Crisis
Question on health care and healing: I have been reading a lot about detoxing but don't know which product to use. There are so many detox programs out there, how do I know which ones work best? How do I know which detox programs work best?
Healing Facilitation Response: I can share my top recommendation for a full body detox but that's just me telling you what works for me. I want you to understand why it works, based on all the factors I look for in a comprehensive detox program. If you can find another program that covers all the bases, that's terrific. So far, I haven't found one.
A colon cleanse is not a detox. When most people think about cleansing, they usually think of a colon cleanse. While cleansing the colon is definitely a vital part of a detoxification regimen, it is not a detox in and of itself. Detox programs always include a colon cleanse but a lot of them stop there or they might include a liver cleanse. A good detox program will address far more than colon cleansing.
What makes a good detox program?
A colon cleanse is not the same as a comprehensive detox program. While any good colon cleanse program may help with other issues beyond colon congestion, they are not designed to do the type of deep cleansing that might be required if a person has organ-specific congestion, parasites or heavy metals.
Clearing out the colon first just makes good sense because dumping liver toxins, blood toxins, heavy metals, and other toxins into a congested colon just makes the detoxing process harder on the body than it has to be.
What makes a good colon cleanse?
Most full-body cleanse systems try to put too much in three little pills. Colon cleansing is a detox all unto itself and is best done before other organ-specific detoxes, such as liver cleansing, heavy metal detox, lung cleansing, kidney cleanse, etc. or a blood purification cleanse.The best colon cleanse programs I've personally used all seem to employ a two-part approach. The cleanse will include bulk forming fiber as well as herbs and other ingredients designed to move out waste.
Please note that when taking any bulk forming fiber you must, simply MUST, increase water intake. Make it pure water, not tap, and drink it all through the day.
Before a colon cleanse, to achieve optimal results, I recommend going off meats, white flour products, sugar and fried foods for at least a couple of days, drinking more pure water and eating more fresh fruits and veggies.
Lightening your digestive and eliminatory load will not only help the cleanse go easier for you but will help the colon release faster and more effectively. The best colon cleanse I've ever personally used.
Other Important Detox Cleanses:
Purifying the blood, detoxing the liver, cleansing the kidneys and bladder, detoxing heavy metals, stimulating lymph drainage and killing internal parasites and their eggs.
Note also that not all parasites can be killed by the same herbal combinations. The best detox programs will address large, small and microscopic parasites and will include instructions on use, to kill not only the parasites but the eggs they have already laid internally, to prevent reinfestation.
Blood Purification:
This might be the most important factor. Think about it. Our level of elimination and all other functions of health depend on good, healthy blood. Cleansing the blood helps insure better elimination, better digestion, better circulation and just plain better health.Liver Cleansing:
The liver and spleen will be specifically addressed in a good detox program. If they are not, find one that does address them.Killing Internal Parasites and Eggs:
Parasitic infestation is one of the most insidious health drains a person can have. Chronic fatique, bad skin, restless sleep, poor digestion and poor elimination are all side effects of parasites. One can pick up parasites from undercooked meat, vegetables that have not been thoroughly cleansed or pets in the home. A good detox program will definitely address parasites.Lymph Detoxing:
One part of detoxing the body that is often overlooked in detox programs is cleansing the lymph system. Be sure your detox program addresses this important factor.Kidneys/Bladder Detox:
We eliminate a great deal of toxicity thru our kidneys. The best detox programs address kidney cleansing, rejuvenation and toning.Heavy Metals Detox:
We can ingest heavy metals from automobile fumes, paints, salon chemicals, toxic chemicals in our homes and other sources in the environment besides the more common source of heavy metal poisoning that can occur from old mercury fillings in the teeth.If you do have mercury fillings, please note that removing the fillings is a very delicate procedure and you should definitely find a dentist who specializes in removing mercury fillings.
It's impossible to remove them without releasing some of the mercury into the system but a dentist trained in mercury filling removal will know how to minimize that situation.
