Biological detoxification of your body can be accomplished in many different ways. Healthy people without problems find it much easier to do this than people with chronic health problems. Results may vary. You can experience fantastic results or it can be marginal. It depends on what you decide to do and how it affects you. This is one of those mind body spirit things. Most people are healthier after a few months. Everyone is different. It’s like getting a face lift. You can be fabulous when it’s over or not so much.

The first thing you should know before embarking on this path is that it is a journey. Please don’t do this alone. Don’t go to the health food store, look at some brochures, buy the named detox supplements, and go home to detox on your own. A very unpleasant surprise awaits you. Includes stomach pain, headache, and diarrhea. First, find out what a detox will actually do for you.

Professionals at the forefront are chiropractors, alternative medicine physicians, nurses, massage therapists, and professional trainers. Interview them carefully before deciding on a professional. What they need to do is provide complete instructions, guidance, and advice for the entire procedure. Expect them to be available to you for months if necessary. The prices they charge for this service vary widely, so shop around. Get testimonials.

Have your blood chemistry tested before starting a plan to see which toxins are affecting which organ systems. Learn about toxins present and learn about heavy metals as well. Our air, food, and medicine are laced with heavy metals. Getting blood tests for toxins can cost thousands of dollars. I wanted to find someone locally, but the prices were above the moon. The costs are more than the professional charges because you must buy a variety of supplements.

My chiropractor’s explanation of the detoxification process helped me understand that doing a supervised program is essential. The testing costs were reasonable and it was online. He used supplements from a certified company and everything was pharmaceutical grade.

I started the program knowing that it could affect me negatively. I felt sore and tired the first week. I knew how to exercise to feel better faster. He went for a walk every morning. We are all different, but since I was informed, I knew what to expect. He knew how to adjust it to alleviate symptoms and be able to function. Each week of detox will bring you different symptoms to control. Hang in there and keep your professional informed. You should notice new strength and deeper sleep.

So how do you know your detox worked? You have to try again. You must be willing to change your protocol as you go. No professional will be able to help you do that without follow-up testing. Detoxification can take months depending on the person.

Drink plenty of water. It should be at least two quarts. Make sure it’s filtered water. What will you eat Most professionals will have easy-to-follow diets. Invest in a skin brush from a health food store. Brush your skin as this is one of the main areas where toxins are released. Instructions come with the brush. Taking an Epsom salt bath is also helpful. Some people reported some swelling in different parts of the body as the toxins are released. Resting on an incline board was also suggested to relieve swelling.

Would you go through this process again? Yes. It is an education about your physiology. It will give you the best way to relieve symptoms that you may have had for a long time. One big side effect is that obese people will lose weight. As you progress through detoxification, diet management is an important facet. You will know what works.
