Detoxification
Methods of detoxification have existed in different cultures for thousands of years, ranging from sweat lodges in Native American Traditions to Panchakarma of Ayurvedic medicine. Our world today has so many more toxins, that the need for detoxification is even greater than ever before. We see this evidenced in all of the chronic/degenerative/autoimmune diseases that are on the rise in our society. The fact is that our healthcare system is lacking, and has trouble helping us with our ever-increasing health needs. We have to take control of our health.
Detoxification twice per year is a great way to improve your health.
Many people use over-the-counter “detox” products but don’t understand the importance of having open detoxification pathways (skin, kidney, liver/gallbladder and colon) and the importance of the use of binders to assist toxins out of the body. At BrainWorks for Life, we use professional products to ensure the safe and effective removal of toxins.
Uninvited Guests
Around 60-80% of people in the U.S. are likely to suffer from some form of parasitic infestation during their lifetime, and parasites could have a part to play in most common illnesses. Bacteria, parasites and fungi build up in our bodies because we generate the perfect environment for them through gut flora imbalances, exposure to certain foods, medications and chemicals.
The common symptoms of parasitic infections can range from:
wrinkles above your lips
severe allergies
fatigue
brain fog
depression
anxiety
poor sleeping habits
and more…
Parasites don’t just live in our gut – they migrate to other areas of the body, such as the liver, gallbladder, lungs and brain. This can have serious consequences for one’s health. Parasites can cause chronic infections that can suppress the immune system, allowing Epstein-Barr, Lyme, or pathogens to take hold. When killing parasites they release toxins, heavy metals, viruses and mold which can cause symptoms, unless all detoxification pathways are open. At BrainWorks for Life, we provide the products necessary for the safe removal of these uninvited guests and their byproducts. Treating parasites is challenging because they do not want to leave their comfy home in your body.
Sometimes to clean up our body and resolve symptoms we need to detoxify at the cellular level. Using food as medicine at this time is encouraged, but we know that supplements are also necessary.
Heavy Metals
We evaluate heavy metal toxicity, which is more common than you think. The symptoms of heavy metal toxicity may be hard to pinpoint. They can range from headaches and brain fog to constant fatigue. Depending on your level of exposure, you might suffer from serious diseases. We are all exposed to heavy metals regularly, as they are in our environment and our food. They’re even in our drinking water. The most common heavy metals include aluminum, mercury, arsenic, cadmium and lead. Mercury is highly toxic. Some newborns are born with high levels of mercury, lead and glyphosates in their systems.
BrainWorks for Life’s Detox Program:
Phase 1 - PREPARE
focuses on cellular energy and drainage
This phase starts with a product that nourishes the enteric nervous system and facilitates bowel movement. One to two bowel movements daily is essential. This phase also includes liver/gallbladder support. These organs must be working well for digestion. A binder to remove environmental toxins is an important piece of this phase. Minerals that balance each cell, and mitochondrial support that gives energy to the cells and an anti-inflammatory are all started in this phase.
Phase 2 -REMOVE
focuses on gut health and parasite removal
This phase continues with liver/gallbladder, mitochondrial support, binders, minerals and an anti-inflammatory supplement. Kidney support is now added along with a gut scrubber and a parasite killer.
Phase 3 - BUILD
builds for a deeper, more systemic detox.
In this phase, the liver/gallbladder, gut scrubber, minerals and mitochondrial support continue. Lymphatic support, a virus/radiation and chemical binder, thyroid support and a different parasite killer is used.
Phase 4 - RESTORE
focuses on eliminating more toxins
This phase introduces a binder that removes heavy metals and environmental toxins.
