Headaches, muscle and joint pain, allergy or flu-like symptoms, chronic fatigue, etc are just some of the symptoms associated with toxic load.

Using detoxification strategies can help you avoid these conditions and reduce the body’s toxic burden, as well as help to alleviate them.

Before starting any detox program it is important to consult your physician, especially if you are under doctors care.

When you are thinking of detoxing, whatever plan you choose there are few things to keep in mind:

  1. Is my body ready to detox?
  2. Can my detox organs handle the stress of detox products?
  3. Am I doing everything to help my body to detox safely?
  4. Is it the right time for me to detox?

The best time to try a detox is with the changing of the seasons, especially Spring and Fall. Regardless of what detox plan you choose, make sure it will not overly stress you detox organs (liver, kidneys, lymphatic system). 

Before starting any detox program you need to make some dietary changes in advance.

Two very important groups of fruits and vegetables for detoxification are the cruciferous vegetables and citrus fruits that contain limonene.  Broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, arugula and cauliflower are part of the cruciferous vegetable family.  They contain substances called indoles.  These substances can reduce the toxicity of substances that might otherwise lead to cancer.  Studies are showing that people that eat this group of vegetables regularly have fewer hormone-related cancers. The citrus fruits contain limonene, which we talked about in a previous session.  Limonene supports the liver’s detoxification process.  Try to get something from the citrus group every day.  Grapefruit has a substance called naringenin that reduces the ability of the liver to detoxify certain drugs.  Talk to your healthcare provider if you take medications and like to eat grapefruit. Naringenin may reduce the effectiveness of the medication. 

B vitamins: folic acid, B6, B12, B2, Curcumin, Sulfur-containing foods: egg yolks, onions and garlic. These nutrients are used by the liver to detoxify and prepare substances for elimination. These foods and nutrients are powerful as they not only provide nutrition for energy and growth, they also help the body rid itself of harmful substances.

The B vitamins – folic acid, B6, B12 and B2 – provide the biochemically necessary methyl groups for detoxification.  Curcumin, found in turmeric-based curry sauces, supports the liver detox enzymes.  And sulfur-containing foods provide substances that prepare detoxified substances for excretion
