As  2010 rolls in, many people are interested in detox for the new year.  Many options are available, to decrease the toxicity of the body through stimulation of the liver and digestive tract.  Why are Americans starting to recognize the need for detox?  Thankfully mainstream personalities and celebrities are sharing their detox experiences, and the public is following in their footsteps.  The FDA has also named Mercury amalgam fillings as hazardous waste before they are put in your mouth, and after they are taken out, they must be put into superfund sites for the same reason, but while they are sitting in your mouth, they are completely, they have as yet not released information about any danger.

Think of your body as a bucket, and as toxic chemicals from the environment fill that bucket, they can begin to run over, and cause symptoms and disease.  Toxins in the environment can cause oxidative stress on your body, cells and DNA, which may result in many diseases, including cancer.  Detox helps put a spigot on the bucket, to remove the chemical toxicity, cause less oxidative stress, and help the body avoid disease and lesson symptoms.

Chemicals, like pesticides and heavy metals, get trapped in your fatty tissue, and bones, and cannot be removed by conventional detox methods.  At Bodhi Body we have physicians on staff trained in medical detox methods which include sensitive  blood and urine testing which is followed by specific protocols, including intravenous and oral chelation, which remove heavy metals, solvents and pesticides from your tissues, and help eliminate them from the body.

Far Infrared Sauna, comprehensive supplement therapy, intravenous nutrients and colon hydrotherapy are also offered to help support your body while it mobilizes and releases these toxins.
