Out with the Bad: DeToxification

What emerges during my initial consultation with the patient are details about what the patient is currently eating and drinking, which is an excellent place to begin. Again, attention to pacing is required, because too radical a change in diet implemented too quickly can cause some patients to reject the treatment entirely. Of course, pacing is often dictated in part by the status of the patient: some diets can be modified more gradually, while for others, an immediate change is imperative.

What I often do is identify those foods among a patient’s favorites that may be problematic, and suggest substitutes that are less so. If a patient is feeling especially poor, a sugar-fast—in some cases lasting several days—may be required. Each patient is different, and the balance I must strike is to render the changes in ways that the patient will accept, while ensuring that I achieve my goal: the improvement of the patient’s condition.

Children are most likely to require the gradual approach, but many older patients are highly motivated and request the quick transition…they want to institute the changes and, as soon as possible, proceed with their healthier lives.

There are certain obvious instances—professions where the potential to become sickened by exposure to toxins present in local environments are elevated. Firefighters come to mind. While they may live generally healthy lives, their bodies may retain toxins they absorb on the job. These must be cleansed from the system. It isn’t enough to institute changes in current behaviors…sometimes one must go back and perform a purge. The body must be de-toxed before it can receive the entire benefit of subsequent treatment.

In the case of our hypothetical firefighter, I might begin by rendering the bowel as clean as possible. This requires the elimination of a lot of sugar from the diet. That means all sugars…bad sugars, so-called ‘good’ sugars, even fruit-derived sugar. When the Body Ecology is that compromised, you must clean out everything. You must re-populate the colon with probiotic bacteria; you must cleanse the liver using any of a variety of formulations, so that as it performs cell-replenishment, it does so with healthy ones. Phytonutrient-rich foods*, which promote detoxification, may be recommended. Again, there is an emphasis on the liver and the colon systems.

Body Ecology and Friendly Formulations

Based on extensive research, I recommend the following supplements for a healthy Body Ecology:

Probiotic Formulation

There’s some controversy surrounding probiotic supplements. Some believe that for maximum efficacy, the supplement must be refrigerated. The Original Medicine supplement I chose to be offered for sale at Incentives was selected because each of the probiotic strains in that capsule are the most stable organisms of their kinds available. They do not deteriorate at room temperature. This means that if there are 8 billion probiotic units in  the capsule, that’s how many are being delivered to your system. With the less stable refrigerated varieties, there may be 85 billion units encapsulated in order to scrape together a delivery of perhaps 5 billion units.

Green Foods Perfect Food

A highly alkalizing formulation. It contains all the phytonutrients I mentioned earlier, as well as necessary enzymes. Our bodies manufacture enzymes, but as we get older, this capability occurs less efficiently. Enzymes aid in the digestion of the food we take in, and these are also active at the cellular level. There are also probiotics in this formulation, which delivers great digestability and alkalinity.

GHC Oxy Powder

This preparation is excellent for cleaning out the colon and will benefit anyone with constipation and any kind of irregularity—even what seems to be mild cases. Oxy Powder is ozonated magnesium. Magnesium is the central atom of the chlorophyl molecule. This matters because of the following similarity: in our hemoglobin, iron is the central atom; in chlorophyl—essentially plant blood—magnesium is. Again, excellent for colon health. It acts to place oxygen into your colon, which is a very anearobic environment. The oxygen kills the anaerobic bacteria, effectively ‘scrubbing’ the colon and cleaning it.

Nuti Health Lecithin Protocol

I’ve heard  lecithin described as “the guardian angel of the brain and the liver.” It’s the single most important nutrient for the hepatocytes, which are your liver cells. During cell replacement, lecithin helps ensure that the new cells are healthy and robust.
