Question:
Anyone have any knowledge or expirience with body detoxification?

I was recently on a cruise and they offered a seminar on the topic. Much of the information made sense, however their pricey products did not (375.00, yeah right). Does anyone have any knowledge, or expirience on detoxifying fat soluable toxins in the body? Does it work, is it worthwhile? Are there certain products that a RNY postie should absolutely avoid? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. -Kim open RNY 7/17/01 -135+    — KimBo36 (posted on October 30, 2002)

Sounds like the old patent medicine scheme to me...JR

the best detoxification you do for yourself is to 1)drink LOTS of water (80 oz or more) 2)stay completely away from anything that has preservatives in it (such as processed food) 3) stop using any foreign chemicals in your body such as pain med, caffeine, alcohol, etc our bodies are always "detoxifying" through the lymphatic system. the water will help flush out the toxins. in the meantime, if you don't ADD any toxins in your body, it will automatically detoxify itself! as soon as you drink a cup of coffee, you're added a toxin in your body. if you really want to detoxify, try the all natural approach, it works, and is much less expensive!

Toxins are everywhere. They are in the food we eat, the air we breath, the water we drink, etc. Our environment is loaded with toxins and this is the primary reason why health professionals expect cancer to be our #1 killer in a few short years. Heart disease is presently the #1 killer. I am a registered nurse and can't stress enough the importance of detoxifying the body. I personally have been taking a product called OPC-3 for the past 6 years. What this product does is cleans the toxins from the body so the body can function properly. Would I ever quit taking this product?? Never!!! I would pay any price for this product if I had to, it's that good!!! I predict detoxifying will be a huge topic in years to come. People are beginning to educate themselves and learn the importance of detoxifying for longer, healthier lives. The website for this product is: pattischmoldt.unfranchise.com
