There is SOOOOO much info here and elswehre on the web about detoxing. The amount of it and the variety of techniques and supplements, personal preferences, contradiction, etc. are overwhelming me. I feel like I'm stepping into quicksand every time I re-venture into searching about it.
I want to get started with Phase I and Phase II detox safely and slowly, without harming myself. Many warning in Dr. S's book about it.
I know many of you are experienced and smarty detoxers. Could you please advise?
Thanks lots. Dawn

Thank you, Beverly.
The teas and tinctures sound tasty and easy to do.
Milk thistle seems to be a really popular liver supporter. I've been chicken to try it for fear of it interacting with everything else I take, lyme-wise and other Rx's. But will give it a shot now I think.
