Who Should Avoid a Detox?

Young children, the elderly, the chronically ill, those suffering from a serious disease, anyone addicted to drugs or alcohol or who has been exposed to dangerous chemicals, heavy metals or radioactive material should only undergo detoxification with the help of a qualified health care practitioner – one who is familiar with detoxification methods.

Pregnant women and nursing mothers should not go through a detox program….this is best done before conception to give yourself the best chance for a healthful pregnancy. Nursing mothers, and mothers-to-be can adjust their diet to help cleanse their bodies during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding with the use of herbal teas, raw fruit and vegetable juices, probiotic supplements such as acidophilus, prebiotic foods that support beneficial bacterial growth, mineral-rich vegetable broths and well as plenty of dietary fibre. Consult an experienced healthcare professional for advice on the best diet for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
