1. Do you breathe air?

2. Do you drink water?

3. Do you eat food?

Answering yes to any of the above exposes you to toxic chemicals.

The discovery and use of chemicals in the last century has brought miracles, disasters, and consequences we have only begun to assess. The human body is a finely tuned chemical – electrical masterpiece designed to last a very long time in the correct environment. These "new" chemical substances enter our bodies through our water, air, food and are absorbed through the skin, which affect the delicate balance of our systems in many ways.

If this toxicity has caused your health problem or is preventing your cure, we can help. We look forward to assisting you with the process of reclaiming your most precious asset, your health.

Chronic Toxicity

Chronic toxicity means your body is carrying a long-term burden of poisonous substances that are impairing your health and possibly threatening your life.

Ideally, your body quickly detoxifies and eliminates poisonous substances. However, if the toxic load is excessive, or the body's capacity to detoxify is compromised, these materials accumulate and cause damage which lead to degenerative disease and premature death.

Several factors cause this to happen, including environmental pollution, poor nutrition, chronic stress, genetics, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, drugs and malfunction of the gastrointestinal tract and liver.

But the most important factor of all that contributes to chronic toxicity is lack of corrective action. Most of us know of chemical pollution in our environment but we do nothing until a serious disease develops. By that time it may be too late for the body to fully recover. Degenerative diseases and disability are best avoided by taking corrective action before symptoms develop.

How to Detoxify and Recover Health

Our clinic has a comprehensive program to enable you to feel better and be healthier. It has five components. They are:

1. Reduce Toxic exposure. We advise you on how to protect yourself from environmental pollution.

2. Remove toxic buildup from the body. We provide a thorough, deep detoxification with sauna, colonics, massage, hydrotherapy, cleansing herbs, and special nutrients.

3. Heal the gastrointestinal tract. A healthy GI tract defends against pathogenic organisms and a variety of toxic materials in your food and drink. Our program restores your 61 tract to optimal function.

4. Heal the liver. The liver is your detox clearinghouse. Our program helps your liver to do this critical job.

5. Improve your diet and lifestyle. What you eat and drink, and how you behave has an effect on whether you are toxic or not. We teach you habits that are non-toxic and make you healthier.
