"If you feel you are detoxifying too rapidly, you may want to introduce heavier foods to slow the detox process down. Eating lightly cooked foods or steamed vegetables will slow detoxification. Eating more young coconut, avocados, nuts, and seeds with green-leafed vegetables will thicken the blood to a degree that slows detoxification; this will allow you to remain on the raw diet, but also to comfortably detoxify. During detoxification, blood pressure may increase as thick, soupy materials pass out of the lymph into the blood." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"You are not likely to experience cleansing reactions on this program, as my recommended formulas are gentle and designed for both beginners (people who've never done a detox program before) and those familiar with the practice. If you scored below 25: Aim to complete the entire program as recommended. However, you may also choose to do the three-day fast. If you scored low, you can further benefit by focusing on your diet more rigorously and cleaning out foods (and kicking out habits) that may have crept into your lifestyle." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Detoxification Detoxification, or detox, essentially means eliminating toxins from your body. You can do this by having a healthy diet and lifestyle that helps support your body's natural elimination processes. Ideally, your detox diet and lifestyle minimize your exposure to toxins. It is kind of like stopping for a few days to do filing and tidy up your office so you can work in a clean, organized and more efficient space. Your body is the same. It is hard for your body to fight off disease when most of its energy is spent trying to handle a backlog of toxins from your food and environment." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"But by going through a specific detox program first, you set the tone and give yourself a much-needed launching pad. You can then live a healthy lifestyle effortlessly day in and day out without feeling deprived. Your body will continue on its path to optimum wellness. And you will rarely again get "caught off guard" when it comes to your health or you read a headline in the paper about tainted tap water in your community. We have become a society that no longer has to worry so much about things like plague, famine, and poor sanitation." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "Enhancing digestion with enzymes and probiotics CHAPTER 4 THE BEAUTY OF YOUR BODY'S NATURAL detox METHODS Evolution has made sure that our bodies can defend themselves against harmful encounters. On the most elementary level, when you reflexively pull your hand away from a hot stove, this is a normal response programmed by your body's internal mechanics. When you catch a cold or get an infection, your immune system kicks into overdrive to kill the invading virus or bacteria. And when you consume a food laced with non-nutrients?" - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "You can think of glutathione as one of the key, star players on your body's detox team. The Importance of Bile Bile is your liver's main vehicle for getting rid of excess substances, both good and bad; it's a complex fluid containing bile salts, electrolytes, old blood cells, cholesterol, excess hormones, and of course toxins. Once produced in the liver, it then flows into ducts leading to the gallbladder?much like tributaries leading to a river. This bile eventually makes its way to the small intestine, where it promotes the digestion of oils and fats." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Rather, the symptoms result from a sudden massive exposure to plant toxins, which your liver enzymes can't process fast enough. The detox diet is actually a toxin diet. How do I know this? I treat numerous individuals who are about to undergo or have had stomach bypass/stapling surgery. They may rapidly lose 100 to 150 pounds, with their shrinking fat cells releasing enormous amounts of heavy metal "toxins" into their bloodstream, but I have yet to see a single one develop "detox" symptoms." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"In fact, detoxification (or "detox" for short) is perhaps the most important function the body does to help itself. And the exciting part is there are things you can do to help your body accomplish this process more efficiently. The liver is the main organ for detoxification—and it is a workhorse! Not only does it clean up most of the toxins that enter the body, but it also detoxifies those our body naturally produces every day. In addition, it manufactures many of the enzymes, chemicals, and hormones that are required to live a healthy life." - Pat Sullivan, Wellness Piece by Piece: How a Successful Entrepreneur Discovered the Pieces to His Chronic Health Puzzle (Get the book.)

The Lowdown on Lead Science tells us that lead is poisoning the brains of our children, driving up our blood pressure, and damaging our kidneys. Yet the way most physicians test for lead is ineffective. The standard procedure measures blood lead levels, which invariably come back in the "safe" range. Patients are then told that lead is not a problem." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Probiotics may not be the most efficient way to detoxify the body, but they do offer some detox benefits. HIV According to estimates from the UNAIDS/WHO AIDS Epidemic Update, around 37.2 million adults and 2.3 million children were living with HIV at the end of 2006.

"If you swap your Western diet for one composed exclusively of raw vegetables and juices for even a short period of time, you're likely to experience what natural health practitioners call detox symptoms: headaches, skin rashes, fevers, chills, and lethargy, to name a few. But the real reason you experience these symptoms is not the result of purging your body of built-up toxins. Rather, the symptoms result from a sudden massive exposure to plant toxins, which your liver enzymes can't process fast enough. The detox diet is actually a toxin diet. How do I know this?" - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"Certainly, people who use alcohol excessively need more supplements than others, and during detox they may require even more. During the actual withdrawal period, diet should focus on fluids and alkaline foods. The appetite is usually not very strong at this time; liquids are easy to consume and will also help clear alcohol from the body. Water, diluted fruit and vegetable juices, warm broths, soups, and teas using herbs such as chamomile, skullcap (a nervine), or valerian root are good choices." - Elson M.

"Ideally, your detox diet and lifestyle minimize your exposure to toxins. It is kind of like stopping for a few days to do filing and tidy up your office so you can work in a clean, organized and more efficient space. Your body is the same.

Detoxing gives your body a chance to clean out the build-up of toxins, giving you more energy to spend on more important processes in your body." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

Distilled water throws off our biochemical/electrical balance, and so regular, purified or clean spring water are preferred. Two or three glasses of water thirty to sixty minutes before each meal (and at night) will help flush toxins during our body's natural elimination time. Water Tips and Stats • Lack of water is the primary cause of daytime fatigue and headaches. • 75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated, particularly the elderly." - Elson M.

"Whole foods contain antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and fiber as well as the nutrients needed for our cells to detox and metabolize.

So let's look at fats—which seem to be in everyone's favorite foods. Fats and Heart Disease Fats taste great, but some fats are good and others are bad." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Indeed, Zoe felt like a rat in a cage when she went through detox: along with the physical symptoms, the shutdown of the dopamine system brought on intense feelings of depression and anxiety. The way exercise blunts the symptoms of withdrawal is by calming the amygdala and boosting dopamine. Regardless of whether there is such a thing as marijuana addiction, studying THC's effect on the brain has provided new clues about how exercise counteracts addiction of any stripe. To begin with, the feeling that often comes after exercise can serve as a harmless replacement for the drug high." - John J.

"Iboga detox clinics have sprung up in Canada, Mexico and Europe, although the plant remains banned in the United States. Leaving the iboga, we come to a shady corner of the garden where another outlawed plant languishes in obscurity. "This is what you came to see," says Benjamin, pointing at a shrub gently sipping bubbly from a nearby stream. The miracle fruit—called the sweeter in Pidgin, assarbah by the Fante and Synsepalum dulcificum by scientists—is the reason I traveled to Africa." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"She received a prescription for Ritalin but first had to go to a detox clinic to give up marijuana. "I was smoking ten or twenty joints a day," she recalls. "When I was in there, I was like a wild animal in a cage." She stopped smoking marijuana for about a year, but then she relapsed and soon fell back into her heavy habit of staying high throughout the day (while also taking the Ritalin and antidepressants). Although she found a high-level job in her profession, Zoe stalled out in the decade after college and in many ways gave up on developing herself." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) "The researchers divided forty hospitalized patients who had just completed detox into two groups: one was assigned to stationary cycling at moderate intensity, the other, light intensity. The next day they switched the groups and found that intense exercise significantly reduced the urge for a drink. This is what happened with my patient Susan, from chapter 3, who used her jump rope to fend off the stress-induced urge to drink wine in the middle of the day. The biology of stress ties in with addiction in that withdrawal puts the body in survival mode." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)
