| | Why Detox?
Detoxing is a continuous, natural process our bodies are designed to do automatically. However this normal process becomes less efficient, and symptoms may occur, when our internal system becomes overloaded by things such as chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial compounds [from bacteria, yeast, or other organisms). When this happens, inflammation results.

- Reduction of Allergic Symptoms
| | Here are ten basic principles of healthy detoxification from Dr. Mark Hyman.
- Drink plenty of clean water, at least eight to ten glasses of filtered water a day.
- Keep your bowels moving, at least once or twice a day.
- Eat organic produce and animal products to eliminate the toxins in our food.
- Eat eight to ten servings of colorful fruits and vegetables to help increase sulfur in the body and aid detoxification.
- Avoid stimulants, sedatives and drugs, such as caffeine, nicotine, and try to reduce alcohol intake.
- Exercise five days a week with focus on conditioning of your cardiovascular system, strengthening exercises and stretching exercises.

- Sweat profusely at least three times a week, using a sauna, steam or a detox bath.
- Take a high-quality multivitamin and mineral.
