OUR
detoxification program
Many of my patients
intuitively know that they are suffering from the effects of “toxicity”
and ask for a detoxification program.
However, most of them think of detoxification as being primarily
directed at cleaning out a perhaps chronically sluggish colon. Toxicity
really means having any blockages which prevent the body from utilizing
focused and normally effective treatment to accomplish the end result of
improvement in that patient’s health. In other words it is indeed true
that many ill patients will not and cannot get well until they are “detoxed”.
So what “toxins” actually block the healing process, and what must be
done about them?
Toxic Relationships: Talk, resolve issues or forget them, act,
don’t ignore or procrastinate, separate yourself from relationship
turmoil and chronic stress
Life Style: Quit bad habits, exercise, eat right, rest and sleep
Your Environment: Air, water, food, work space must all be clean
Your Body: Bowel, liver, kidneys, lymphatics, skin, nervous
system, and body cells and cell membranes must be helped back to normal
function..
In essence we are dealing with 4 types of “toxicity”. Psychological
stress, poor life style habits, environmental toxins, and biochemical
roadblocks to proper elimination and function. All of these things
produce destructive hormonal, cellular, and anatomic bodily changes
which increase the speed of deterioration of the body and block your
ability to get well.
The “detox” protocol I have developed here at Caring Medical takes all
of these factors into consideration. What is involved? Well first, I
need to know about you. A careful medical history and a complete battery
of questionnaires will help me discover what type of toxicity you may be
suffering from, as well as identify the specific health conditions that
will require treatment once your body is able and ready to respond to
natural medicine treatment. Next, we must do some fairly extensive
testing to confirm and fill in the details as to what particular
toxicity problems you may be suffering from. Such testing often includes
hormonal assessment of adrenal stress hormones, liver challenge testing
for determination of the functional adequacy of detoxification pathways,
stool tests including parasite exam, general blood chemistry, challenge
and fecal tests for heavy metals, assessment of body acidity, cellular
metabolism, and blood coagulability, plus perhaps tests for fatty acid
balance, cell membrane integrity, food sensitivities, and chronic
infections. Once we know what we are dealing with we can begin the
process of “detoxification”.
We will discuss the sources of stress in your life, and what you can do
about them. We will teach you the life style changes you need to make.
We will help you identify and remove environmental sources of toxicity.
And finally, we will intervene with powerful, focused, and effective
natural medicine treatments ( like oral supplements, flushes, mechanical
methods, and dry heat hyperthermia) that can clear the biochemical
roadblocks that stand between you and better health. In a detailed,
prescribed, and ordered fashion we will address the issues one after
another until we have cleared the bowel, the liver, the kidney, the
lymphatics, and the skin. With our intravenous therapies (like ozone,
phosphatidyl choline, calcium EDTA, glutathione, and photoluminescence)
we will restore antioxidant buffering capacity, deal with chronic
infection and a weak immune system, repair damaged cell membranes, and
reverse the metabolic defect so common to the chronically ill patient:
lack of adequate energy production within the cells.
A complete detoxification program before specific disease oriented
therapies are undertaken can often help my patients achieve their goal
of improving their health when nothing else has ever seemed to work
before. Removal of neuro and biotoxins, heavy metals, immune
inflammatory markers called cytokines, stabilizing essential fatty
acids, healing the cell membrane, and dealing with hypercoagulability of
the blood, energy production defects, and pathogenic organisms are
crucial starting points in the healing journey. For those few hearty
souls out there trying to preserve and fine tune their already good
health, I would encourage them to consider a periodic modified
detoxification program at periodic intervals as well. |
