Detoxifying the Polluted Body

From the desk of Dr. Sean Patterson

When most people think of detoxification, they think of “cleansing”. The media has done a great job of misinforming the public about how the body detoxifies.

To be clear, I am using the term “detoxification” in a general sense. It is not a simple or easy process. The first thing we must define is what “Toxicity” is. If you cannot figure out what is making you “toxic”, than how can you “detoxify”?

In my opinion, this term would be better defined as Pollution. Our 21st century bodies are extremely polluted. Here are the most common causes of pollution that I see:

	Pesticides and Herbicides
	Growth Hormones and Antibiotics Used In Cattle, Poultry, Fish, etc.
	Heavy Metals Being Dumped into the ground and water
	Contaminates In Drinking Water
	Air Pollution: Burned Diesel Fuel in our air.
	Our own hormones that cannot break down.
	Drugs, Medications, and Low Quality Nutritional Supplements.
	Molds and other environmental toxins.

Environmental toxins get trapped in your body are being shown to lead to endocrine problems and Estrogen Dominance.

Once the proper questionnaires, lab tests, and evaluations are done, the question becomes, “how do we safely and effectively remove these toxins or pollutants from the body?” Here is what I have done with my clients that have proved to be very successful and beneficial:

1. Nutrition that enhances the phases of liver detoxification.
   
2. Energy Balancing Ion Therapy Footbath.
   
3. Infrared Sauna
   
4. Supplementation which may include, homeopathic remedies, nutrients that are known to stimulate liver Detox, nutrients that balance the hormones, etc.
   
5. Cold Laser Therapy that assist the mobilization of metals in the body.

It is crucial that you understand what is making your body ill, or is impairing your body’s ability to detoxify. Please be careful looking for answers via the internet or late night television! It is important that you trust your health care practitioner, and that the appropriate tests and treatments are utilized. Our Detoxification Questionnaire is a great place to start.
