We hear a lot these days about pollution. Toxins invade our air, soil and water. The task of cleaning up our environment is becoming a priority. However, we don’t always think about the importance of purifying our bodies.
There are approximately 80,000 synthetic chemicals registered for use in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that hundreds of the chemicals are present in our bodies! Research has shown that many of these chemicals can disrupt our immune, endocrine, nervous, and reproductive systems.
Here are some examples of common external toxins that can harm our bodies:
Air and water pollutants
Cigarette smoke
Cosmetics
Household cleaning products
Pesticides
Pharmaceuticals
Preservatives
Purification, also known as detoxification, can be essential to maintaining a strong, healthy body and a clear, sharp mind. In our practices, as well as our personal lives, we focus on health, fitness and longevity. Because we are exposed to toxins daily, externally and internally, a good detoxification program is a must for maintaining optimum physical and mental health.
We are frequently asked, “How do I know if I need a purification program?”
Below are some of the conditions that can occur from a toxic overload.
Fatigue and/or difficulty sleeping
Stuffy head
Digestion and other gastrointestinal problems
Reduced mental clarity
Food cravings and weight gain
Low libido
Although your body is designed to naturally rid itself of toxins, it can become overburdened. A good detox program offers your body the additional support needed to expel toxins and pollutants.
We have researched a number of detoxification programs and the best we have found, the one we use and prescribe to our patients and clients, is the Standard Process Purification Program. Because one size never fits all, there are eight different variations of the program.
