Selecting A Detox Technique


Selecting A Detox Technique
---------------------------

It is important to keep the following points in mind when
selecting a cleansing techniques to try:

a. It is important to choose cleansing techniques that are not
too extreme for your current condition.

b. It is important to choose cleansing techniques that are not to
subtle, and therefore ineffective, for your current condition.

c. Working closely with a holistic health practitioner who is
familiar with detoxification techniques (e.g., Naturopath) can
be extremely important for the following reasons:

i. The practitioner can help you choose the type and strength
of cleansing that meets your needs -- not too extreme, yet
not to subtle. On the other hand, if the practitioner
recommends a cleanse that you feel is too extreme for you
condition or a cleanse that is not powerful enough, you
should definately challenge this recommendation by asking
for an explanation. If the explanation doesn't satisfy
you, ask to be put on a cleanse that you feel more closely
fits your needs. If that isn't possible, seek out a
different practitioner. Remember, you need to be your own
patient advocate.

ii. The practitioner can advise you of any contraindications
that may be important for your condition.

iii. If any difficulties arise, an experienced practitioner can
more easily adjust or stop the program if necessary.

iv. A few of these cleanses take alot of planning and effort.
Off-loading some of the planning and effort onto the shoulders
of the practitioner will allow you to concentrate more fully
on healing, significantly increasing the effectiveness of
the cleanse.

There are many areas of the body that one can concentrate their
cleansing on. In each of these areas there are powerful techniques
for detoxification. But there are also increasing gentle techniques
that can be used depending upon a person's condition.

Some of the more common areas are:

a. Gastrointestinal Tract (GI Tract)
b. Skin
c. Liver
d. Gallbladder
e. Lymphatic System
f. Lungs
g. Kidneys/Bladdar
h. Miscellaneous

For most people, I recommend performing the cleanses in the order
listed above. Persons who have had chemical poisoning may
find it beneficial to perform the Skin Cleanse first. Persons
who want to get into cleansing slowly may want to start with either
a Liver Cleanse, a gentle GI Tract Cleanse, or a gentle Skin Cleanse.
