Our Friend, The Liver: The Liver Detoxification Program
Jacob Farin, N.D.
What do you think of when you hear "liver detoxification"? Do you run out the door? Do you recoil in fear? Do you picture yourself undergoing a juice fast for days and days on end? Do you imagine colon cleansings and enemas?
Liver detoxification doesn't need to be a formidable affair. To make the liver cleanse more enjoyable, I redesigned the liver detoxification program used at the Center. The program can be as gentle as you want it to be, or you can use the opportunity to challenge yourself for greater self-mastery.
Based on your needs, I customize a program for you that may include an elimination diet, a hypoallergenic diet, or a modified fast. This is to ensure that you detoxify at a rate that is right and safe for you. In all cases, you also take either UltraClear Plus or PhytoPro, two products designed to increase the detoxification process. It's that simple.
Anyone can greatly benefit from a liver cleanse. Why? Because the liver has over 13,000 biochemicals and 2,000 enzyme systems. It processes up to 2 quarts of blood every minute, and clears out up to 99% of waste products each of our cells produce in our bodies: bilirubin from red blood cell breakdown, ammonia from protein metabolism, and metabolized testosterone and estrogen. With the added daily insults of environmental pollutants, exhaust fumes, household chemicals and food additives, our livers need to work even harder.
When our livers cannot keep up with processing and detoxifying chemicals, we experience toxic overload. This can result in headaches, fatigue, memory impairment, depression, irritability, joint pain, asthma, skin rash, indigestion, and recurrent infections, to name a few. These symptoms usually occur when we fail to provide the nutritional support that our livers need to clear out toxins or when the toxic load exceeds the liver's processing capacity.
A detoxification program will give your liver the support it needs to effectively clear out toxins that hinder your progress to greater health and vitality. By eating foods that support the detoxification process and taking UltraClear Plus or PhytoPro, your liver will have the nutrition it needs to function at full capacity.
You can choose to do a 1-week program or a 2-week program. You then commit to eliminating 5 of the most common food allergens, load up on nutritionally rich detoxifying foods and supplement with a detoxification drink. To enhance the the detoxification process, an optional modified fast may be included.
Many people like to use a detoxification program as an opportunity to challenge themselves and increase their body awareness. Others use it as a means to help them make significant dietary changes. Still others use it to fine-tune their health for more energy and disease prevention.
If you have symptoms of toxic overload or you're not experiencing the health and vitality you want, consider a liver detoxification program. I facilitate workshops, as well as one-on-one coaching. Programs are customized to suit your individual needs.
