Detox is not something to do without guidance. If you’re having minor issues then perhaps the websites, social media groups, and you tube videos will get you by. But if you have slipped into auto-immune problems like allergies, eczema, thyroid, leaky gut, PANDAS, PANS, even ASD, then the expertise of a practitioner skilled in detox, will save you time, money, and a whole lot of stress.
Detox is more complex than just the knowing the vocab. Smoothies, footbaths, and even protocols casually lobbed about have weakened the foundational and serious need for detox. On the other end, some groups are so cultish that daring to put a toe outside the orthodox pool lands one square into some bizarre shame-abyss.
But detox is not a one size fits all event.
For any protocol.
Each individual is going to have their own detox journey because each body expels toxins in its own order requiring different protocols with differing supplements because of different types of infections, injuries, and its own healing needs. What parasites are over-populated? Which pathogens are present? Are there retro-viruses? What methylation cycles are switched on? Switched off? Is the gut damaged? Are the kidneys and liver functional? What’s diet like? Is there metal toxicity? These are questions from my simple layman’s perspective. Imagine those of a skilled, holistic doctor?! Disease is a tricky picture to unravel and reconstruct properly; not impossible with detox, but deeper than what is commonly understood.
At our house, we had different protocols for similar issues. Why?
Because detox is individual specific.
Even in my blog, when I say parasites, I’m referring to the ones that were identified for us. I have no idea which ones might be lurking in your system, however, in general, all parasites do the same thing: steal nutrients from their host offering nothing beneficial in return, striving to overcome the host causing the symptoms that, I believe, are often labeled as ‘disease’.
Having a detox professional sort out your parasites, pathogens, toxins, and your body’s natural path of releasing them is key to a successful detox.
And your sanity.
They can determine which organs and systems are damaged and in need of proper healing and support. You can’t just full on detox with a damaged gut, kidneys, or liver. Some modicum of healing and support must be balanced with detox.
Also, true detox causes herx and I can promise you, in a severe state, life gets a bit unworkable. You will want someone experienced to answer kooky questions and keep you focused as you drive to the finish line. They will also have the necessary tools, like systemic, bio available binders to keep you more comfortable.
Tell me, what option is there via MAPS or conventional doctor to know which organs need support, which supplements are needed and in what dosages, which parasites we have and what is the best treatment for them? All they can offer is innumerable blood tests, urine tests, stool tests, hair tests, many of which are dependent upon having accurate tests in the first place. Even if you don’t have false negatives or positives you still must rely on interpretation, and frankly, I’m not that trusting anymore. And honestly, why keep feeding the beast of the system that got us to the point of debilitating illness in the first place?
No thanks.
Biofeedback paved the way for us to break the chains of dis-ease. We’re still a work in progress but our lives have improved dramatically. We are now free of PANDAS while PANS, Lyme/co’s and ASD all make their grand exit as well.
