Detoxification

Welcome to the new you!
Toxicity is a well documented condition.  The presence of various toxins in the body has now been linked with many diseases and syndromes.  Toxins often cause allergic reactions, toxic overload, and just simply a feeling of being unwell.

Signs and symptoms of toxicity

• Recurrent headaches
• Muscle aching and weakness
• Nerve pain or numbness
• Recurrent infections
• Infertility
• Chronic fatigue and lethargy
• Poor concentration and short term memory
• Anxiety, depression, mood swings
• Allergies and sensitivities to chemicals, food And nutritional supplements

There are two factors which influence the toxic exposure of your body, and its impact on your health.  The first is the amount of toxin that you are exposed to; the second is the resources your body has to deal with it, or how well you “detoxify”.  That is why two people with similar toxic exposure can respond very differently, with one having no noticeable effects and the other developing chronic illness.  The first person has a better capacity to detoxify.

We are all exposed to toxins everyday from:

• The environment including, pesticides, herbicides, building materials, household cleaners, radiation from TV’s/computers and air pollution
• Foods and beverages, including water
• Drugs, alcohol and cigarettes
• Internally from sugar toxicity, stress, dysbiosis, free radicals

Your gut and liver are the primary organs involved in detoxifying these harmful substances.  An overloaded or damaged liver will be inefficient at clearing toxins and allow accumulations which cause inflammatory or toxic reactions.  To correct this we educate you on how to reduce exposure to reactive materials, modify your diet, and support you while following one of our detoxification programmes.

At ProActive Health we offer a range of detoxification plans. Your naturopath will advise you as to which of the following programmes best suits your needs:

• Comprehensive gut repair
• Systemic detoxification
• Express (Spring Clean) detox
• Liver regeneration programme
• Candida programme
