Why I Should Detoxify and How by Sherry Sallee Nutritional Consultant, D.T.R

Detoxing: The answers to this question are unlimited, including pollution exposure; we are eating more foods that are grown outside of the United States where in a lot of cases pesticide and herbicide use is not regulated, ingesting plastics from water bottles and the way that our foods are packaged, especially if we are microwaving TV dinners, even baking with plastics releases the plastics in our food, plastic wrapped food, heavy metals from foods, vaccines, etc. The need to continually detoxify is obvious!

Think of your body like a sports car. The cleaner the fuel you put in your body, the less that your body has to detoxify it. If you put processed foods, sugars, pesticides, alcohol, etc. in your tank this will produce toxins that “Gunk up your Carburetor” The cleaner the diet the fewer toxins produced. A good way to clean up your diet is by increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet, obviously organic is a cleaner source of fuel.

There are many detox formulas available; I will stick to those that are easy to use. :: Herbal Cleanse First is a 7 day detox :: (2 bottles a.m. for phase 1 and 2 liver detox, the pm. bottle has fibers that pull the toxins through your system. A very good book to include is the “Rejuvenation” book by Dr. Donald Hayes. This book gives information on environmental toxins, includes a 21 day alkalizing diet, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, recipes and a 21 day journal (journaling is key to making any changes).

:: The Rejuvenation book :: has 3 parts. Part one explains “why” you need to detoxify. Part two explains “How” to detoxify with a 21 day detoxifying diet that includes a food plan and recipes. The third part is the “Action Step” of journaling. Journaling is the BEST way to make the positive changes and to make connections between how diet and lifestyle create symptoms and energy level.
