Detoxing for improved wellness in 2012

If you are feeling lethargic and are having difficulty accomplishing physical and mental tasks, it could be that you need to detoxify your body.

The process of detoxification is not new. For thousands of years, purifying the body has been a part of humankind’s rituals for health and well-being. It was used in ancient times as a means of connecting with the divine, and today it is primarily used as a means to stay in tip-top health.

Detoxing enables us to clean out the collected waste matter of our everyday lives—environmental pollutants such as pesticides and insecticides, and residue from all the drugs and unhealthy foods that are trapped in our bodies.

There are many ways to detoxify the body, including bowel/liver cleanses (which draw out and eliminate toxins throughout the body), ionic footbaths (in which negative ions attach themselves to harmful impurities in the body for enhanced elimination through the pores of the feet*) and the Infrared sauna, which draws toxins out through the skin. Our MRS-2000 electro magnetic pulse field therapy can help relieve the stress and exhaustion experienced as a result of chronic conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), general fatigue and fibromyalgia.

Detoxing supplement kits, such as Wild Rose D-Tox, also help the body to eliminate harmful substances that bog us down and prevent us from feeling as well as we were designed to feel.

If you have been sick, are not feeling up to par, or simply want to do something good for your body, you might consider our complete Detox Program (MRS-2000, Infrared sauna, and IonCleanse® footbath) which will allow you to feel your very best, with increased physical and mental energy. Our highly knowledgeable staff are also available to provide nutritional counselling that will help keep your body as free of toxins as possible.

* You may have read that ionic footbaths are nothing more than hocus-pocus, and that the colour-change in the water is not due to the removal of toxins but to corrosion in the water. This reasoning is often provided to make ionic footbaths appear a scam. We’d like to set the record straight. It is indeed true that the water changes colour during the cleansing process and that particulate matter may appear in the water. However, the release of toxins is not the only reason for accumulation of debris or water becoming darker. Electrolysis is an important part of the ion detoxification process. Corrosion that takes place during electrolysis changes the colour of water and the corrosion of metals at the time of electrolysis also causes changes due to the release of gases.
