Detoxify to LIVE!

Why detoxify?  Bodies that are overloaded with toxins do not function optimally.  Toxins can cause your skin can be dull and lifeless, cause acne, rashes, inflammatory lesions  and other skin problems.  Toxins accumulate in liver, kidneys, large intestine, lungs, skin,  lymph, blood and even individual  cells.  Toxins can cause numerous problems in the body such as: gas, bloating, constipation, headaches, fatigue, weight gain, bad breath, body odor, joint pain, poor memory and concentration,  and the list goes on.  Some specific diseases are even related to toxic overload.  R.A. Buist, M.D. states that chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity and fibromyalgia may be related to toxin exposure (International Clinical Nutrition Reviews 1988, Vol  8. No 4.)  Research has also linked toxin exposure to liver disease, and some types of cancer and obesity.

A toxin, is “any substance that creates irritating and or harmful effects in the body, undermining our health or stressing our biochemical or organ functions”  Hass, M.D. Staying Healthy With Nutrition.  More specifically James E. Williams, in his book Prolonging Health states that, according to a report published by The EPA,  over 7 billion pounds of toxic waste, containing 80,00 different toxins, have been released into the environment, polluting our food, water and air.

So what do we do?  We detoxify our bodies! Proper detoxification eliminates toxins and provides building blocks for repair.  It’s not just for your skin.  It is for your whole body!

How to detoxify your body

Detoxifying is easy and there are many ways to do it.  The simplest and most gentle approach is to eat only organic vegetables and drink lots of clean, spring water for a few days.  But here at Integrated Skin Care, we have the “Total Cleanse” created by James E. Williams, OMD, FAAIM.  This is a medically supervised detoxification program that detoxifies your body on every level.  From your large intestine to your cells, this program detoxifies and restores your body to optimal health.  This is a 10 days program that includes an individualized meal plan, supplements and medical supervision.

Hyperbaric Oxygen for detoxification

Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy significantly increase the oxygen levels in the blood, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood.  This provides an optimal combination to enhance blood oxygen, and tissue perfusion.  The enhanced oxygenation and perfusion help the body to remove waste and debris that has been building up.  This happens all the way from the cellular level up to organ and skin levels.  The enhanced blood and lymph have a greater capacity to do their work with the extra oxygen on board.  This is a fantastic way to detoxify!

Acupuncture

Acupuncture can be a gentle, safe and affective tool for detoxification.  Your practitioner will stimulate specific points that correspond with body systems that are congested.  The acupuncture will open the energy to the systems and allow for the release of toxins.  Acupuncture for detoxification is normally accompanied by herbal supplements to support the detoxification process and the organ systems involved.  Your practitioner will guide your through this process.
