THE DETOX PROGRAM

WHY DETOX?

In today’s world it is impossible to avoid exposure and consumption of toxins. The air we breath, the water we drink, the food we eat all have some amount of harmful chemicals. These toxic materials accumulate in the body tissues and digestive organs as mucoid plaque. Also most of us are experiencing a high degree of stress in our lives. Stress inhibits proper digestion of foods, which in turn creates a toxic environment in the stomach and digestive organs.

There fore a periodic internal cleansing or detox of the body is most beneficial in preventing ‘dis-ease’. Detox gives the body a much-needed rest and eliminates toxic build-up and greatly strengthens the immune system, which is our body’s defence against disease.
People who have been diagnosed as incurable have healed themselves by detoxing. It is an ancient form of healing that has been rediscovered and is now being offered in health retreats around the globe not just for healing but for prevention of illness. Some of the benefits of detox one may expect are:

• Increased energy and vitality
• More complete and improved digestion
• More energy
• Improved mental clarity
• Over-all improved health
• Healthier complexion, fewer skin problems
• Stronger immune system function
Can be helpful in eliminating addictions to smoking, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and drugs.

Quotes:
“the doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease” Thomas Edison

 “As to diseases, make a habit of two things—to help, or at least to do no harm."  Hippocrates
