At Red Mountain Chiropractic we take natural health very seriously and that includes focusing on optimizing our patient’s detoxification systems. While we focus a large part of our time on chiropractic care,
we have found that many of our patients are experiencing ill health because their bodies are overly toxic. You might be wondering why would someone detoxify their body? What does that even mean? Read on and you’ll learn just how important detoxification is and what it really means.
We live in a toxic world that has given us great convenience but has also come at a price. Since 1900 over 80,000 chemicals, most of them petroleum derivatives, have been created and released into our environment. We have no way of knowing the short- or long-term effects these chemicals have on our bodies. These chemicals surround us: in our cars, carpets, shampoos, paints, and esp. our food supply. These chemicals find their way into our food through the use of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, and artificial hormones. Even before we are born our bodies are exposed to these toxins through the blood from our mothers!
Because these toxins are everywhere in our environment, it makes sense that some people may not handle them as well as others. Daily exposure slows down and damages the organs of detoxification – the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and colon. We have elegant mechanisms to rid ourselves of these toxins. But these systems need high amounts of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to run properly. Poor diets and modern, depleted foods don’t have enough nutrition in them to counteract these thousands of different chemicals. Over time our nutrition becomes depleted, our toxin level rises, and our health starts to go downhill. This is where most of the chronic disease in America comes from.
A detoxification program like the one we offer at Red Mountain is very simple and was created by Dr. Robert Rakowski – a world expert in natural health. The SAD (standard American diet) is halted and replaced with a seven day mono diet. Patients eat an unlimited amount of green, organic vegetables for seven days. During this time patients also take an unlimited number of servings of specifically designed detoxification medical foods. Symptoms begin to disappear and excess weight routinely falls off while on this program. What makes these detox products unique is they are actually FDA approved! No other nutritional product has FDA approval. After the seven day “intense” detox period another month of less intense detoxification is prescribed. During this period patients continue to eat a very healthy, hypoallergenic diet and take daily detoxification supplements. After these five weeks patients feel renewed, refreshed, and healthy like never before!
Detoxification fits perfectly with the chiropractic care we provide at Red Mountain Chiropractic. There are many detoxification programs available to you but only a select few have actually been tested on humans to prove if they even work. In our office we have partnered with an industry leading manufacturer to offer our patients the absolute best detoxification programs available. We give our patients precise instructions during their detox, explaining all the details to ensure their success. We all need to detox periodically, and at our clinic we screen our patients for metabolic toxicity and put them on individualized detoxification programs that rapidly improve their health. We understand how important it is to get chiropractic adjustments regularly, but we also know the dangers of living in a toxic world. By combining chiropractic with metabolic detoxification we consistently improve our patients’ health and well being, naturally!
Yours in Health,
Dr. Andrew
