Detoxification and Cleansing

Chemicals that build up in the body begin to affect health if they are not removed. Detoxification removes stored toxins in four steps: mobilizing stored toxins, supporting liver metabolism, eliminating toxins from the body, and avoiding re-exposure.

It is essential to be guided through detoxification by an expert in environmental medicine. Many supplements promoted for detox do not actually help remove chemicals, and there are numerous drug-supplement interactions. Although we are all exposed to low levels of chemicals daily, not everyone’s health is affected; genetics play a role, so treatment must be specific to your genetic makeup, exposure history, current health, and symptoms.
