(reprinted from January, 2008 issue)

The New Year is an excellent time to start a detoxification program.

Each year we are exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals and pollutants in the earth’s atmosphere, water, food and soil.  These pollutants manifest themselves in a variety of symptoms, including decreased immune function, neurotoxicity, hormonal dysfunction, psychological disturbances and even cancer.  Detoxification therapy helps to rid the body of chemicals and pollutants and can facilitate a return to health.  Detoxification is the body’s natural process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins via the kidneys, colon, exhalation and perspiration.

There are many ways to detoxify, such as juice fasts, saunas, specific diets, colon therapy, vitamin therapy, chelation therapy and hyperthermia.  Short 2-3 day fasts are safe, but longer fasts or special diets should only be done under the care of a health professional.

The vitamin department carries several detoxification products by Nature’s Secret.  These products are gentle and effective.  They include Ultimate Liver Cleanse, Respiratory Cleanse, 15-Day Weight Loss Cleanse & Flush, Ultimate Cleanse, Ultimate Fasting Cleanse, Super Cleanse, Urinary Cleanse and a number of other products.  We do not stock all of these products but will order on request.
