According to him, detoxification is what our body does naturally to neutralize, transform or get rid of unwanted materials or toxins.

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.

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.

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.
