Detoxing is the starting place for any wellness program.
The GOOD
The concept of detoxification of the entire body and all systems are of importance when beginning any web ness program or protocol.
The BAD
Many programs simply provide support for one thing like the liver or the colon. Although these can be valuable, they leave an opportunity for toxins that are released to float around and plant themselves somewhere else in the body. This is where the whole-body approach is better because it simultaneously releases and drains multiple organ and body systems.
I like to compare this to cleaning your toilet bowl with cleaner and a brush but not actually flushing the toilet. The things that were stirred up and still in there and will land somewhere other than where they started.

HOW DO I BEGIN A DETOX?
As a Naturopath, I have done a lot of research in the area of products to support different wellness phases, and for detoxification the OmniCleanse by DesBio is hands-down the most well-thought out and formulated kit available.
This kit has six homeopathic formulas that focus on these areas:
BRAIN
CerebroMax is for the temporary relief of symptoms relating to sleep, memory, and emotional issues.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
SpinalMax is for temporary relief of symptoms related to spine issues including spasm, pain, anxiety, nervousness and the inability to hold chiropractic adjustments.
INTERSTITIAL MATRIX
Matrix Support is for the temporary relief of symptoms such as occasional diarrhea, occasional constipation, headaches, gas, congestion, irritated eyes, and indigestion.
LIVER
Detox I is for the for the temporary relief of symptoms related to digestive issues, such as bloating, gas, occasional diarrhea, occasional constipation, fatigue, and stomach upset.
KIDNEYS AND BLADDER
Detox II is for the temporary relief of symptoms relating to headaches, fatigue, and mood issues.
IMMUNE & LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Detox III is for the temporary relief of symptoms related to improper breakdown and excretion of allergenic substances, including pain, fatigue, cramping, and upper respiratory allergy.
OmniCleanse CAPSULES: The liver plays an integral role in the detoxification processes and is a common place for toxins to get “stuck.” OmniCleanse Capsules provide sophisticated blend of nutrients, amino acids, botanicals, and enzymes for the advanced support of liver detoxification processes.
The OmniCleanse Powdered Beverage: A shake that combines a multivitamin, a greens blend, an organic fruit and vegetable blend, and specialty nutrients to support each step along in the detox pathway.
DO I NEED TO FAST DURING THIS DETOX?
No. You are encouraged to follow some basic guidelines but fasting is not a part of this detox.
We do suggest limiting alcohol and excess caffeine. One cup of coffee a day is fine. We also suggest drinking half your weight in ounces per day of clean water.
Limit dairy, sugar, carbohydrates on days 6-9, and limit gluten when possible.
A full guide is included with your program products.
