Detoxification and Purification
Our topic this month is detoxification and purification. I have recommended detox for many patients. This is an excellent opportunity to learn why the body needs purification, how weight accumulates even when calories are not in excess, and, more importantly, how to begin losing stubborn weight.
We use Standard Process products to enhance results along with a variety of individualized protein powders that speed results and satisfy cravings by providing beneficial nutrients. I may also recommend additional products for optimum health according to your specific metabolism.
This is a great opportunity to invest in your health, beauty, and well-being!
Detoxification and Purification
Detoxification is the process of of enhancing elimination of toxic substances out of our bodies. When organs of elimination are overwhelmed or under functioning then toxins are stored away in fat cells. When weight loss is stubborn or not related to caloric intake then it is most likely due to the accumulation of toxins. Toxins can accumulate in anyone who has consumed processed foods, soda, sweets, non-organic foods, meat and poultry with hormones and antibiotics, restaurant foods, coffee, alcohol, dairy products, and tap water. Other exposures that contribute are petroleum produts, pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, hairspray, air fresheners, new carpet, paint, furniture, or flooring. Dental amalgums, household cleaning products, and cosmetics are other sources of possible harmful chemicals.
The main organs and systems in the body that assist in eliminating these toxins are the liver, colon, gallbladder, lungs, skin, lymph, and blood. The more toxic our environments, the harder these systems have to work. If not able to keep up with the burden, toxins will be stored in fat cells to protect our brain and other vital organs from oxidative damage. A healthy detox/purification program will provide the proper nutrition to help the systems of elimination function their best as well as protect cells from the oxidative damage that is possible during a detox process.

Our Deepest Fear
by Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
