What is meant when all the talk about detox?

How do you know you need to?

How is it done?

Are you talking about like eating certain foods or going of medication?

Confused?

I'm new to all of this too, but "detox" can be different things. Taking a warm or hot bath with epsom salts, eating lemons or adding fresh lemon juice to your water (to drink), dry brushing your skin and too many more to mention.

If you do a search on "detox" on this site you should be able to get a lot of info on this subject.

Thank you. A Google search ended me in "drug" land.

Not what I think they mean on this site when they refer to it anyways.

Here are some search words you can use on here under "Medical" posts:

Lemon water
Epsom salt baths
Dry skin brushing
Chlorella
Binders
Activated Charcoal
Apple Pectin
FIR Sauna
Castor Oil
Coffee Enema
Milk Thistle
Dandelion
NAC

There are many ways to detox. You need to detox to get rid of the neurotoxins released from the die off reaction from spirochetes.

A lot of why we have to detox is also to reduce the stress on our liver which is working so hard to eliminate these toxins from our body. so it is important to take good liver support (ie milk thistle, dandelion root, NAC)

If you detox too much too quickly though, it might be too much overload for your system. I would just do one form of detox to start and add in more as you get acclimated.

An easy way to do it for now is fresh lemon squeezed into water.

Drink it with a straw so you don't ruin your teeth and don't brush your teeth right afterwards.

If it is too tart for you to handle, try adding a few liquid stevia drops in it, and it will taste like lemonade!

Also - if you are sensitive to magnesium, then Epsom salt baths may not work for you -but most people are ok with it..

Just put at least a cup of the salts in the warm bath - not too hot and don't stay in for more than 20 min or so.

The sweating will be good to release out of your skin.

I just realized I have not been taking these baths in a long time -so I better get some more bags soon!

Thank you for the key words.

I was spending a lot of time reading ....."then I detox.....or you should detox".

and not getting any "This is how you detox, this is when you detox...."
