Autoimmune Attacks Multiple Areas of The Body

Autoimmune Diseases Are Third Most Common

Diseases After Cancer & Heart Disease


Autoimmune diseases have not been this prevalent before. They are 3 times more common now than they were a few decades ago. This is due to the fact that more people are getting autoimmune diseases than ever before. And the numbers keep rising.

More People Are Getting Autoimmune Disease

Than Ever Before And The Numbers Are Rising

1 in 6 Americans will

This Pandemic of Autoimmune Disorders Includes:

Rheumatoid Arthritis – affecting the joints Hashimoto’s – affecting the thyroid Multiple Sclerosis- affecting the entire body Crohn’s disease- affecting the gut Lupus – affecting the entire body Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus- affecting the pancreas

Sources of Toxin Exposure



Toxin Exposure is Everywhere



Toxins Zap Our Energy



Detox support programs should integrate four key approaches:

Dietary support of the body’s detox processes, with an emphasis on whole foods and elimination of known dietary triggers.

Lifestyle practices that support detox.

Elimination of toxins through stimulation of excretory organs (homeopathy).

Support of liver detox pathways.

Eat a healthy, cleansing diet for four weeks

Complex Homeopathy

Complex homeopathy is a system of healing that addresses not only the physical, but also the mental and emotional aspects of health through diluted potencies of natural substances.

Homeopathic formulas can have a subtle effect that can exert a physiological outcome.

Homeopathy may also have the capacity to revitalize, strengthen, and support detoxification processes in different areas of the body.




Drainage vs Detox

The term detoxification is usually referred to as the “release of toxins from their binding site” (the cell).

However, the process of detox is not complete unless the released or free-flowing toxins are actually eliminated from the body.

The process of taking the toxin from the cell to its final elimination is called drainage.

If adequate drainage does not occur with detox, it can lead to a phenomenon known as the “Toxic Ping-Pong Effect.”



Toxic Ping-Pong Effect

The Toxic Ping-Pong Effect occurs when toxins—instead of being eliminated—are simply relocated to a new binding site. This occurs when:

Detoxification is undertaken without appropriate drainage therapy and the body cannot handle the extra stress from stirred-up toxins.

Failure to eliminate the toxins can lead to systemic toxicity.







You Might Not Think of Yourself As Allergic But You Have Common Complaints

- Weight gain - Stomach aches - Insomnia - Headaches - Fatigue - Depression or Anxiety - Brain Fog


Symptoms of Toxicity or Allergies
