permalink The author explains the meaning of detoxification as understood by him. According to him, detoxification is what our body does naturally to neutralize, transform or get rid of unwanted materials or toxins. So when the author is talking about detoxification, it is about improving and optimizing the function of our body’s own detoxification systems. This is done by decreasing the amount of toxins we put into our bodies while at the same time supporting our body’s detoxification and elimination systems with the nutrients it needs to function properly. The author views detoxification as internal cleansing. The problem is that it’s often hard to know when our internal cleansing mechanisms are not functioning well. Our liver is the main detoxification organ. Although it is mostly ignored by our current medical system, the detoxification system is a key component of our body's functioning. We need hundreds of enzymes, vitamins and other molecules to help rid the body of unwanted waste products and chemicals. The purpose of a detoxification program is primarily to support these organs of elimination so that toxins present in the body can be metabolized and excreted. The author has designed a 2 week detox which is available online with all the components he feels are necessary to optimize our body’s detoxification systems.
