Detox Programs

Here's the 'why detox' taken from a website:

Why Detox?

Nowadays we absorb excessive amounts of toxins into our bodies. Air pollution, smoking, and a diet with too much sugar, processed food, alcohol, food additives and vegetables sprayed with pesticides all contribute to a build up of toxins in the body. These substances are stored in the cells – especially fat cells – and the lymph system and internal organs. They cause symptoms such as low energy, allergies, poor circulation, poor skin condition, liver & kidney problems and gout. A fasting and detox program is designed to eliminate toxins from the body. When you don’t eat, fat cells are re-absorbed into the blood stream. The toxins from these cells are removed by the psyllium and bentonite which pass through the digestive system. The result is that, not only do you lose weight, but you feel fantastic – lighter, cleaner, more energised and joyful. Will I Feel Hungry? No, you will not feel hungry. The psyllium and bentonite drinks that you take provide enough bulk in your stomach to make you feel full, without actually being absorbed or digested. You will also be given herbal supplements and multi-vitamins and minerals to provide your body with essential nutrients during the program. Will I Need a Daily Colonic? It is highly recommended to have a colonic every day, as it helps with the detox process. However, sometimes for various reasons people are unable to take a colonic, so then we suggest that a herbal laxative be taken instead. These can be supplied, and will result in a 10% reduction in the program cost.
