Cleansing and Detoxification

The holidays are upon us! Do you feel like you are getting Toxic? You should! The year of 2010 was full of poisons that entered your body!!

For some of us, detoxing is accompanied by a bit of weight loss. If your body does need to lose weight, that makes a welcome loss. For others that don't need to lose, even though they may experience some weight loss, the body usually gains it back automatically when one ends the cleanse. There are different ways to go about "cleansing" your system.

Many of you have heard of "liver cleanses" or "gallbladder flushes", "parasite cleanses", "colon cleanses" and much more. My favorite way of cleansing a patient starts with a homeopathic or "lymphatic" cleanse. Your body is full of toxins and you could think of it like this: Lets say your body is like the toilet in your bathroom at home. If the toilet is full of waste, you want to "flush" it. Now before you flush the toilet, you will want to make sure that the pipes (the plumbing) are clear because if you go to flush the toilet and it can't get out through the pipes, there will be trouble. Well, we can think of the body as a tank full of garbage and we will need to "flush" it. The first thing we need to do is to "flush" our pipes. I recommend a "pipe" cleaning. This would be a lymphatic draining/cleaning program. Your lymph system is your filtering system. We want to get our lymphatic system ready before we flush the toilet. The regime I use in my office utilizes an array of homeopathic remedies that clean the lymph (pipe) system before we start accessing the liver, bowel, kidney, fat cells and more to "dump" their toxic waste into areas of excretion (such as the bowel and skin). If our lymph (filtering system) is ready, we will get a much more thorough cleansing. If you need help in performing a "cleanse" or detox program, please call my office and we will guide you through. 805-985-0526 www.drgaily.com email drgail@drgaily.com
