The 3-day detox diet is a quick start program toward detoxification.

Each morning during the three day detox:

Drink a glass of warm water with half a lemon squeezed in it upon rising. This is to stimulate your gastric juices which help with digestion. Drink the lemon water instead of your usual cup of coffee or tea. Read more…

In the book ‘The Tao of Detox’ by Daniel Reid, he writes that fasting is not new. Hindu Yogis and Buddhist Monks have been fasting for thousands of years to enhance their vitality and extend their lifespan. There are many detox diets available and it’s important to realize that not all detox diet programs are suitable for everyone.

Fasting is the fastest and most effective way to deal with toxicity. Until these toxins are eliminated there’s no way the body can repair and rebalance itself. The ideal duration for a therapeutic fast is 7 - 10 days because it takes 7 days to completely purify the blood stream and cleanse the lymphatic system of all residual wastes.

For those who have never tried a 7 day fast, a 3-day mini fast is a good way to begin your detox, it is also a milder way of detoxifying your body.

How Does Detoxification Work?

Basically, detoxification means cleaning the body. Detox works mainly by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin. However, when this system is compromised, impurities aren’t properly filtered and every cell in the body is adversely affected.

Your personalized Detox Program will work by:

1)  Resting the organs
2)  Stimulating the liver to drive toxins from the body
3)  Promoting elimination through the intestines, kidneys and skin
4)  Improving circulation of the blood and lymph
5)  Refueling the body with healthy nutrients

We invite you to contact us for your personal consultation with our naturopath regarding the detox program most suitable for you, including a series of colonics and massage in conjunction with supplements such as psyllium and bentonite to enhance the process.

Almost all illnesses and diseases are directly related to the health and condition of our body’s internal environment. Toxicity creates a breeding ground for germs and viruses, allowing them to penetrate a weakened immune system.

Today it’s hard to avoid having toxins and chemicals in our system because of our lifestyles and the environment. However, our bodies are quite remarkable and have been made in such a way as to protect ourselves from these harmful intruders. Read more…

Everyone is at risk of toxic stress in today’s world – our bodies naturally create internal toxins as a by product of metabolism.

Add to this stress, contaminants in our food and water, poor exercise habits and exposure to pollutants and our hardworking organ of detoxification, the liver, has to work harder than ever. We can feel tired, lethargic and depressed when our liver has problems keeping up with eliminating wastes. Read more…
