Detoxification and Fasting

Throughout our daily life, we can be exposed to a number of harmful toxins that can enter our body through the air we breath, what we eat, drink and/or absorb through our skin. Many of these toxins are known to cause significant health problems and therefore, the body continually attempts to detoxify itself. An individual's health status is largely determined by the body's ability to eliminate these toxins. Important factors in aiding the body to detoxify are a healthy lifestyle and diet as well as appropriate supplements to aid the functions of the body.

Significant scientific research exists in the medical literature that shows that fasting, as a detoxification method, is one of the quickest ways to increase elimination of wastes and enhance the healing processes of the body. Fasting is defined a abstinence from all food and drink, except water, for a specific period of time, usually for a therapeutic or religious purpose.

NB. No individual should attempt a fast without medical supervision as fasting is not appropriate or safe at certain times or with certain health conditions.

As part of the detoxification protocol that I use with patients, I recommend only a 3 day juice fast consisting of three or four 8 to 12 ounce juice meals spread throughout the day. Although your body will begin ridding itself of stored toxins during the 3 day juice fast, individuals typically experience an increased sense of well being. Moreover, it has been found that drinking fresh juices for cleaning reduces some of the side effects associated with a water fast such as lightheadedness, tiredness or headaches.
