Metabolic Detoxification Treatment Abroad

Overview

ong ago, Detoxification or detox only refered to a program for individuals with alcohol or drug abuse problems. Today, this concept uses a broader and more significant approach in health care. Detoxification are scientific and sometimes spiritual practices that involve complementary (colonic cleansing, fasting) and conventional (antitoxin therapy or chelation) approaches to aid the human body in ridding itself from unwanted foreign chemicals, excess vitamins and other toxins.

There are many different ways of cleansing the body's internal organs. Major methods used in detoxification treatments include colonic irrigation, chelation therapy (EDTA therapy), several varieties of herbal medicine, dietary therapy, fasting, nutritional supplementation, juicing, hydrotherapy, probiotics, even sauna and exercise.

What is Metabolic Detoxification?

Metabolic Detoxification is a type of detox that aids the enzymatic reactions (in our bodies) to perform toxin neutralization and transportation to secretory organs (like the kidneys or liver), so that foreign chemicals can be easily excreted away from the body.

These foreign chemicals include excess vitamins, hormones, signalling compounds, and inflammatory molecules, normally removed from the body by the similar enzymatic detox systems that clear the body from drugs and protect the body from environmental toxins.

Metabolic Detoxification is important to encourage “homeostatic” balance in the human body. Metabolic Detoxification is administered in conjunction with exercise activities, chelation therapy and colon detox as its primary focus involves nutritional approaches to optimize the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Guidelines of a Safe and Well-Designed Metabolic Detoxification Program:

• Drink ample amounts of pure water (6-8 glasses per day)
• A diet of organic and fresh fruits and vegetables
• Ample nutrient and calorie intake to avoid under nutrition
• Take foods and supplements that are free of food allergens like  casein (from dairy) and gluten (from grains).
• Eliminate the intake of modified food ingredients, alcohol, stimulants, tobacco products and synthetic chemicals.
• Perform moderate exercise activities
• Eat ample amounts of fiber-rich foods to prevent constipation and promote proper bowel movement.
• Consume adequate (not excessive) protein, preferable vegetable protein.
• Consume specific nutrients that have been proven to support proper detoxification function. These includes: green tea (epigallocatechin gallate), cruciferous vegetables like brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli (glucosinolates), peanut skins and grapes (resveratrol), soy (isoflavones) and berries (anthocyanidins and polyphenols).
