Detox / Fasting
Detox and fasting a lovely subject.....
Detox therapy (= detoxification therapy)
Regardless of whether you are young or old, whether you are exposed to heavy metals at work or not, whether you ingest a lot of toxins through your diet or not, you should undergo detox therapy regularly! Unfortunately, nowadays we all regularly ingest harmful substances through our drinking water and the air. We now have to deal with an unbelievably high number of newly created chemical compounds and environmental pollutants that can put a strain on our health.
Common sources of exposure are:
Pesticides, insecticides, fertilisers, sewage sludge
Industrial emissions
Dental fillings and dental prostheses
Pollutants in the workplace
Air pollutants
Water pipes containing lead
Pharmaceutical residues and degradation products in water
Hormones
Food additives, preservatives
Plasticisers
Improper diet and thus over-acidification of the body
Heavy metals such as mercury, lead or aluminium can accumulate in cells. This can damage and even destroy the mitochondria (= the cell organs responsible for cell metabolism). This can lead to a number of civilisation diseases or chronic illnesses with reduced energy and cell performance. The most common symptoms of heavy metal exposure are
Allergies
anxiety
Respiratory problems
Anaemia
high blood pressure
depression
exhaustion
fertility problems
hair loss
skin eczema
cardiac arrhythmia
susceptibility to infections
Bone metabolism disorders
Liver dysfunction
Reading and writing difficulties
Gastrointestinal complaints
Nail changes
Neurological symptoms
Kidney dysfunction
Mucosal changes
Detox therapy is particularly important for chronic illnesses, exhaustion, poor general health and to relieve/regenerate diseased organs!
To prevent re-intoxication during detoxification because the organism is unable to eliminate the toxins, it is essential to clarify beforehand whether
The body is resilient
the detoxification organs (liver, kidneys, lymph, skin, lungs) are stable
the body has sufficient glutathione
the mineral deposits are topped up
the body is not over-acidified
This is ensured by means of a biophysical whole-body measurement (and possibly a blood test) before detoxification begins.
I work with a variety of traditional naturopathic detoxification therapies and create individual detoxification concepts, which may include teas, phytotherapeutics, homeopathic complex remedies, injections, infusions and nosodes. I invented as well a very unique and effective, but sensitive way of fasting myself, through 20 years of studying and self testing as well as hundrets of success stories from clients. Twice a year I hold a fasting retreat with personal at place support and treatment, see here“““ if you feel it could be easier in a group and away from home. If you are short in time you can also download my Book““““ here and self study and get personal support if you need.
I have done detox myself on a regular basis since the age of 17 out of various reasons. At first to heal myself and it worked. Therefore I got intreaged and studied the following years everything about it ( that was before my official studies). Eventually I got into the biochemics of the body where I found my answers, combined with my medical studies I did 10 years later I am a huge supporter and on top invented a fasting method which works on the individuum ( not a one for all) so I wrote a book about it and created fasting retreats with absolutely stunning results. Same results it has done and still does for myself and my own health.
We all have our unhealthy habbits, me too, let it be alcohol, smoking, stress, sugar, fast food, social media, no movement, and so on.....,
it is about balancing the demages we do to ourselves rather than ignoring it or trying to cover it.
Orthomolecular medicine deals with the nutrients that must be present in the human organism in a certain concentration in order for the organism to remain healthy and efficient.
The levels of these nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and certain fatty acids are often no longer within the norm even in an obviously healthy person. In the case of chronic illnesses, however, there are often huge deficiencies. These deficiencies can be caused by absorption disorders in the intestine, disturbances in the processing of nutrients by the metabolism, nutritional errors and increased requirements during times of great stress and illness. As a result, the mitochondria (= cellular power stations) of the cells no longer work properly and the disease becomes increasingly worse.
Orthomolecular therapy is particularly indicated for the following symptoms and illnesses:
states of exhaustion, fatigue, facial pallor
Muscle weakness, muscle cramps
Concentration disorders
Metabolic disorders such as diabetes
tumour diseases
Stomach diseases such as gastritis or hypoacidity (= reduced stomach acid); use of gastric acid blockers
Pancreatic weakness
Intestinal diseases, especially chronic inflammatory bowel diseases
Digestive disorders
Liver dysfunction
Susceptibility to infections due to weakened immune system
Depression, especially winter depression
Skin diseases
Neurological disorders
Sleep disorders
Hair loss, breaking fingernails, mouth corner rhagades
rickets
Cardiac arrhythmia
Anorexia nervosa
