In August, I (along with a bunch of our patients) completed the Standard Process 10-day Detox Balance program. Why would we do such a thing?
First off, its pretty easy, you make some shakes from the delicious detox powder made by Standard Process, and then you follow a nice clean eating program. You focus on eating vegetables, some fruit, some grains (no gluten), and your protein of choice (meat or vegetarian sources, you decide). You also avoid sugar, dairy and a few other things. Everything is spelled out in a nice booklet put together by Standard Process.
No matter how clean (or not) you live, you can not avoid toxins. They are in the air and water (notice the air pollution advisories we had all summer in Phoenix), they come as pesticides and insecticides that are sprayed in every restaurant and business you go in. They can be found in out personal care products, in dyes and paints, in household cleaning products, the list goes on.
The human body has a metabolic system that will detoxify naturally. The SP Detox program is designed to boost this function and unlock fat-soluble toxins and convert them to a water-soluble state that is easier for your body to remove.
What are some of the signs you need to Detox? You may have fatigue or difficulty sleeping, indigestion and other temporary gastrointestinal upset, food craving and weight gain, reduced mental clarity, low libido, skin issues, joint discomfort.
The program was easy to follow, though I did miss having a glass of wine. I was never hungry, and I tried some new recipes. The results though were great, most notably, I felt more energy, and sharpened mental clarity. And just knowing that I was able to clean out my system, that was a good feeling. So, I am already planning my next Detox, in about six months after the winter holiday season.
Let us know if you want to feel better by completing the 10-day Detox. You don’t need an appointment; just give us a call and we will have the powder and an information booklet ready for you.
Take care
Ann
