Detoxification Treatment Goals
1. Remove the Obstacles: First, define and understand the problem. Identifying and removing the 'stressors' gets rid of the body's need to compensate and adapt. Remember that 'disease' is a normal state of the body in the pursuit of homeostasis. This understanding allows proper recognition of the pathways and goals to be accomplished. Whether it means removing a food from the diet or physically removing one from an environment, the trigger must be removed. History taking and testing procedures may be used at this point to identify the causative factors.
2. Improve Respiration: Cellular function depends on the import and export of ionic particles which are converted to intra-cellular structures and energy production. The reduction of the acid load on the body is vital to normalize cellular respiration and enhance proper function. The Bio Terrain Alkaline Balance formula provides the body a buffering system in a ratio to maintain proper cell potentials. Micro-minerals assist in this process as well as improving body available oxygen via exercise or other means. PCHF's Oligo ionized trace minerals are used for the removal of toxins from binding sites and cellular membrane exchange. Other ways to increase cellular respiration is to utilize exercise, stimulate the autonomic nervous system (massage, skin brushing and contrast water therapy not to mention mobilization and mild exercise) and use specific products to enhance O2 uptake and mitochondrial function such as PCHF's Cellular Oxygenator, Metab or Antioxidant Complex.
3. Strengthen to Cleanse: Detoxifying can be stressful and not tolerated well by everyone. Many people's systems are too toxic and they will likely stop the detoxification process prematurely due to an aggravation and worsening of symptoms. The use of botanicals from BotaniPure to stimulate, PCHF's disease, pesticide & antibiotic-free New Zealand Glandulars to tonify, and general nutrition such as PCHF's Naturalvite multivitamin/multimineral to support is suggested to strengthen the system to the point of being able to tolerate the detoxification process.
4. Toxin Excretion: Drainage of the organs must be improved once cellular respiration and function is re-established. Excretion of toxins in the inter-cellular regions are done via the kidneys, liver, blood, lungs, lymph, skin, and digestive tract. Assisting these excretory systems is important to assure non-reabsorption of the toxins. Without drainage, toxins will often dislodge from their binding sites and re-attach elsewhere causing either an aggravation or new disease processes. Low potency homeopathics, PCHF's Liquescences, are used to prepare the body for toxin excretion, provide pharmacological effect and energetic stimulation. In weakened individuals, it is suggested to wait approximately 7-10 days before continuing to step 5. Steps 1 thru 4 may be performed at the same time, depending on the tolerance of the individual. Symptomatic treatment may also be administered at this time via PCHF's Homeopathic Combination formulas.
5. Drawing out Toxins: The immune system must recognize the toxins for it to mobilize the bodyís mechanisms to excrete them. It has been said that homeopathy provides a blueprint to the body. This recognition is accomplished via the use of PCHF's Homeopathic Combination, Nosodes and Xenobiotics.
6. Re-Strengthen: Toxin excretion can be considered a trauma by the body and therefore free-radical scavenging occurs. Non-acidic sources of anti-oxidants such as A, C, E, Selenium as found in PCHF's Vitamin C Ascorbate with a neutral pH is important to protect against free radical effects. Broad nutritional support such as PCHF's Naturalvite or Antioxidant Complex and botanical stimulation such as BotaniPure Complex Formulas as well as general glandular tonification such as PCHF's Endocrine Complex or Immustim Complex are suggested. Autonomic stimulation such as massage, skin brushing and contrast water therapy not to mention mobilization and mild exercise programs should be performed to rehabilitate the nervous system.
7. Restore Function: Stimulating and regenerating the previously stressed organ is vital and is done by the gradual elimination of PCHF Glandular support replacing it with continuation of the appropriate nutritive Liquescence and specific PCHF Oligo and Sarcode formulations and botanical alteratives or dipuratives. Supportive nutrition, sarcodes and botanical alteratives should be continued for several months to alter the terrain and structure of the body.
8. Re-Innoculate: Re-establishing proper flora and terrain is suggested but should be gradually done to avoid pathongenecity and assist adaptation by the body. Preparing the gut first via PCHF's Homeopathic Microflora Drops and PCHF's Digestive Enzyme Liquescence is advised and then introducing PCHF's Acidophilus/Bifidus Plus followed with PCHF's Fiber Complex is important. Continuing specific organ support with general nutrition such as PCHF's Naturalvite or Antioxidant Complex and PCHF's Glandular/Sarcode therapy is further suggested. Digestive aids such as Pancreatin 8x Plus, Phyto-Vegezyme or Digest Plus can be added but only in a supportive roll.
9. Constitutional Support: With the 'Obstacles to Cure' now out of the way, we can concentrate on treating that which originally pre-disposed this person towards developing their illness and their individual symptom profile manifestation. Botanical alteratives are used long term and classical homeopathy can be considered at this time as well as PCHF's Miasm Formulas. Please request the Miasm Formulas article from PCHF at 800-952-2219.
