DETOX

Anti-ageing starts here

Accumulation of toxins from the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat can build up in the body in a slow, insidious manner.

Detoxification programmes are an invaluable tool in supporting health and immunity. But they should not be undertaken without due care: 'detox reactions' are not uncommon. Cleansing protocols are part of the stop-the-clock™ programmes.

Two important organs in the detoxification process are the liver and the colon.

COLON CLEANSING

Health starts in the colon. Full and timely elimination is vital. A plant-based diet, adequate exercise and sufficient water are basic requirements for colon health.

The modern Western diet can lead to sub-optimal functioning and a build up of mucoidal plaque on the walls of the colon. This reduces the absorption of essential nutrients and lays the terrain for unwanted 'visitors' to take hold and release their toxins.

Colon cleansing protocols vary from 10-day to 3-month programmes.

LIVER CLEANSING

The liver is a key organ in the body's self-defence system. It uses two mechanisms, called Phase I and Phase II detoxification, to remove toxins. An unhealthy liver does not detoxify substances as rapidly or as completely as a healthy liver. Slower detoxification results in more toxic substances circulating in the body. Eventually they are stored in fatty body tissue, including the brain and central nervous system. Stored toxins may be slowly released into the blood, comprising health.

Impaired liver function can lead to increased levels of free radicals and oxidative stress.
