Safe, Effective & Practical Detoxification:
The ‘WHY’
Tissue samples from cadavers in the late 1970’s found that almost 100% had one to many chemical compounds stored in their body.
– These chemicals included known toxins like DDT, PCP, PCB, and dioxin.
1982 NAT Survey* showed 100% samplescontained toxic chemical compounds (e.g., dioxin).
KEY POINT: Finding a toxin‐free person is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
*US EPA NHATS (National Adipose Tissue Survey, 1982)
Safe, Effective & Practical Detoxification:
The ‘WHY’
“For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death.
In the less than two decades of their use, the synthetic pesticides have been so thoroughly distributed throughout the animate and inanimate world that they occur virtually everywhere.”
Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, 1962

Toxicity is a reality … everyone is carrying a toxic burden.
Dr. Walter Crinnion, ND from Murray M, Pizzorno J., Textbook of Natural Medicine, p 299
Impaired Detoxification
Brain ‘fog’
Unable to concentrate, irritable, confused
Mood swings
Restlessness
Headaches
Chemical sensitivities
Joint Pain
Hives, rashes
Fluid retention
Feels ‘unwell’
Immune dysfunction– Under/Overactive
– Autoimmune
Digestive disorders
Food sensitivities
Chronic fatigue
Frequent illness
Loss or exaggerated sense of smell or taste
Weight gain
Sleep disturbances
Intestinal Toxicity
Dysbiosis:
Pathologic microorganisms in the GI tract create exotoxins that go directly to the liver and can unbalance Phase I & II reactions.
Entero‐hepatic circulation will recycle toxins that are in your intestines and not eliminated in feces.
10
Intestinal Toxicity:Symptoms
Abdominal pain/tenderness
Diarrhea/Constipation
Gas/Bloating
Mucus/blood in stool
Sensitive to perfumes, chemicals, cigarette smoke
Worse damp, wet weather
Crave sugar, bread, alcohol
Fatigue, lethargy, feel “drained”
Feeling ‘spacey or unreal’
Allergies / itchy
– food, airborne, chemical
Chronic Sinus Congestion
Numbness, burning or tingling
Muscle aches
Pain and/or swelling in joints
Headaches
Can’t think/concentrate/poor memory
The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
Robert Heinlein
The KEY:Minimizing the Total Toxic Load
LESS TOXINS IN:
Minimize Exposure to xenobiotics
Minimize Exotoxins from unhealthy gut
+MORE TOXINS OUT:
Replenish Deficiencies that impair neutralization and/or elimination of toxins
Reduce Burden of accumulated toxins
11
Detoxification:
Far‐infrared sauna therapy– Detox through skin (plus via liver/gut/kidneys)
– Help deplete load of fat‐soluble chemicals/toxins
– Low temp (110‐120 F) = just till sweat; 10‐30‐60 mins
– Ensure adequate adrenal & gut health; nutrient stores
Coffee enemas– Increase bile flow
– Upregulation CYP450 1A2 = affect some medications, hormones, etc.
Foot baths– Published evidence of efficacy?
Detoxification: Two Basic Approaches
Provocative
– Stimulate the release of stored toxins
Supportive
– Provide the body with it’s fundamental needs to properly detoxify
Detoxification:
Provocative ‐ stimulate the release of stored toxins
Fasting
– Accelerates detoxification process
– Increased nutrient requirements (phase 2)
Chelation
– Pulls toxins back in to circulation
– Increased detox requires clear detox pathways:
• liver/bile flow
• intestinal health/transit time
• kidneys
12
Detoxification:
Supportive – Provide fundamental needs to detoxify (to neutralize and/or eliminate toxins)
Clean diet Oligoantigenic diet (gut)
Nutrient‐rich foods (nutrients)
Gut support Reduce gut‐generated exotoxins
Nutrient support Repenish macro/micronutrient deficiencies
Guaranteed …Frustration, Agony & Lost Income!
Stimulating toxic release before first ensuring body is prepared for increased circulating toxic load
Guaranteed …Frustration, Agony & Lost Income!
Inadequate patient education
Insufficient written instructions
Lack of preparation

4. Create ContextLESS TOXIC = FEEL BETTER
A detoxification program was administered to female workers who had been exposed to PCBs and other fat‐soluble industrial chemicals.
Detoxification treatment reduced the PCB levels in adipose tissue by 63% and in serum by 49%.
The signs & symptoms these women had been
complaining of improved.
Tretjak Z, Shields M, Beckmann SL. PCB reduction and clinical improvement by detoxification: an unexploited approach? Hum Exp Toxicol 1990;9:235‐44
19
4. Create ContextLESS TOXIC = LOOK BETTER
There is currently no way of testing to determine the total amount of chemicals in a person’s body.
But, exposure of animals to chemical toxins changes body composition in favor of fat accumulation.
So, the poorer one’s body composition (less muscle and more fat), the more likely one has higher amounts of toxins stored away

20
Why do you think they call it a ‘practice’?… and call our clients ‘patients’?
Before Detoxification: 5. Setting the Stage
(At Initial Detoxification Appointment)
Review client’s updated Health Goals
Toxicity Questionnaire results (relate to client’s health condition)
Review any Detox Q&A questions
Reasonable Expectations– Feel better!
– Jump‐start physiology & “shape intelligence”
– Discover food sensitivities
– Establish better relationship with food
Unreasonable Expectations– Normalize all biomarkers
– Eradication of all symptoms (and toxins!)
– Major re‐shaping (and significant fat loss)
Before Detoxification: 5. Establish Benchmarks (biomarkers)
(At Initial Detoxification Appointment)
Toxicity Questionnaire (MSQ)
Measurements:waist, hip, thigh
B/P: sitting, recumbent, standing
BioImpedance Analysis (BIA) Phase angle = cellular health Body composition
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Power spectrum = vitality Sleep / Stress status
Lab findings (lipids; ALT; AST; GGT…)

During Detoxification
6. Effective, safe, and efficient detoxification protocols
During Detoxification: 6. Effective, safe, efficient protocols
Balanced Detox Support
Gut Support + Elimination
Cell Membrane Repair
Sufficient calories
Limit Digestive Burden
Dosing & Quantity Guidelines
Additional Considerations
6. Detoxification:Balanced Detox Support
Phase 1+2 & Liver Support:
– Dual‐phase optimizers – inhibit Ph‐1 + induce Ph‐2 Ellagic acid (pomegranate)
Catechins (green tea)
Glucosinolates (watercress)
– Hepatoprotectants
Silymarin (milk thistle)
Lipoic acid (controlled release)
Artichoke
22
6. Detoxification:Balanced Detox Support
Phase 1+2 & Liver Support:
– Hypoallergenic protein (pea/rice) Amino acids for Ph‐2 conjugation L‐glutamine (gut/muscle) Glycine & Taurine (bile)
– Methylation
MSM, B6, B12, MTHF/folinic acid
– Glucuronidation Ca‐D‐glucurate
– Sulfation Na‐sulfate, MSM, NAC
6. Detoxification:Gut & Elimination Support
Lower Toxic Load:
• Toxin removal = Transit time + SCFA production Soluble + insoluble fiber
• Toxin reduction Probiotic Prebiotic
• Toxin exclusion L‐glutamine Immunoglobulins
• Toxin mobility Pure water
6. Detoxification:Cell Membrane Repair
Healthy fats: (maintain Membrane fluidity balance)
Increased fluidity: (receptor responsiveness) Omega‐3 (EPA/DHA)
Omega‐6 (sunflower oil*)
Increased structural integrity: (free radical resistance) MCTs (coconut oil)
Phosphatidylcholine
* BodyBio Oil 4:1
23
6. Detoxification:Sufficient calories
39 obese persons on a calorie‐restricted diet for 15 weeks.
All chemical toxins studied increased in the blood stream while people were losing weight.
More weight (fat) someone lost, the higher the toxin levels.
“These results raise concerns about an undesired and potentially harmful side effect of weight loss…”
Chevrier J, Dewailly E, Ayotte P, et al. Body weight loss increases plasma and adipose tissue concentrations of potentially toxic pollutants in obese individuals. Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord 2000;24:1272‐8
6. Detoxification:Limit Digestive Burden
“Elimination” Diet
– Avoid more common antigenic foods: Gluten, casein, soy, citrus, corn
– Minimize refined, processed food, toxic: Trans fats, “white” food, sugar, chemicals Unsafe fish (swordfish, tilefish, grouper, org. roughy, tuna, bluefish, bass, halibut)
– Emphasize: Nutrient‐rich organic foods Colorful vegetables (+cruciferous)
Digestive Support (as needed)
– Supplements: Digestive enzymes; HCl
Speaking of Digestive Burden…
Who was the first celebrity to succumb to the E. Coli outbreak?

Consume enough so not hungry (may miss eating)
Medical food “shakes”
Low‐carb steamed vegetables + alkaline ‘broth’
Daily intake: (during semi‐fast portion)
Calories: No need to measure (or worry) Drink/eat to appetite
28 grams of fiber (adjust fiber for constipation)
400‐500 mg of magnesium (adjust to bowel tolerance)
70 grams of protein (adjust to weight/lean mass)
6. Detoxification:Dosing Guidelines
(can adjust to appetite and body size)
Quantities of Protein: Lean body mass x activity level (walking = 0.6)
Total weight
Lean mass Higher % body fat = Lower % lean mass
More muscle = High % lean mass
150 lb, 25% body fat = 75% lean; 150 x 0.75 x 0.6 = 68g
200 lb, 35% body fat = 65% lean; 200 x 0.65 x 0.6 = 78g
No BIA? (FFM) Adjust servings based on size (wgt) + body fat
“Ballpark” estimate O.K.
Use hunger as guide
25
6. Detoxification:Quantity Adjustments
Adjust protein: Appetite
Size of the individual
Ratio of lean mass to body fat (BIA)
Ability to handle qty magnesium (hx: loose stools?)
Adjust coconut oil: Ability to tolerate/digest fats/oils

– New body awareness
– Modified relationship with food
– New ‘healthy‐habit’ patterns
What didn’t happen?– Energy levels, ADL
– Goals not achieved
Acknowledge results in appropriate context
9. Strategies to Consider Going Forward:
Reiterate – detox was a “stepping stone”
Encourage – acting on realizations
Support – new healthy habits
Re‐emphasize – 5 “Basics”
Develop – home schedule
Consider – continuing some detox support
Monitor – progress (BIA, HRV, girth, labs…)
Clinical Implementation:Scheduling
Introduce Detoxification Concept: Inform and educate (Q&A; Tox Q.)
Appointment 1: (prior to Detox) Choose length of Progam (14 or 21‐day)
– Discuss detox “levels” based on need /budget
Review Day‐by‐day Detox Guide + Products
Measure biomarkers (if not done recently)
Appointment 2: (toward end of Detox) Check‐in and Food Reintroduction (protein)
14‐day Program: around Day 10‐13
21‐day Program: around Day 17‐20
29
Clinical Implementation:Communication
Invite patient to call in
Check‐in with patient (phone)
– Daily bowel movements
– Satisfied appetite
– Sufficient energy levels
– Aggravation or new symptom
Clinical Implementation:Troubleshooting
– Insufficient bowel movements Water, movement, breathing, vegetables, fiber, magnesium citrate (start with 2 capsule at bedtime)
– Hungry More steamed vegetables (low carb) Add’l scoop of protein source (medical food “shake”) Raw, organic seeds/nuts (sunflower; pumpkin; almonds)
– Low energy levels Extra rest (naps/earlier bedtime), more food (if hungry), gentle movement
– Symptom aggravation or new symptoms Homeopathic remedies More or different type of food
Clinical Implementation:Key Points
VEGETABLES:
Encourage plenty of vegetable intake
ELIMINATION:
Remind to ensure at least one bowel movement every day
REVIEW:
Suggest reviewing the entire program; then, each day, read and follow the appropriate day’s instructions
