Although our bodies are designed to process and remove toxins, we can have a toxin burden where pathways of the body become compromised. This build up of toxins is due to dietary allergens such as gluten, food additives, dairy and eggs, bacteria, parasites or due to fungal overgrowth and of course toxins in our environment found around our home, at work, air pollution, pesticides in our food as well as lifestyle choices can all contribute to this toxic load overworking our systems and throwing them out of balance.
With a thorough examination here at Coastal Chiropractic and Wellbeing, we can see which body systems are the top priority for detoxification. This includes the gut, liver and looking for traces of heavy metals that are stored in our brains and in our body. Heavy metal overload is common among plumbers, welders, miners, renovators, people who have a lot of fish in their diet or have mercury fillings.
A “Healing Crisis” or more commonly known as feeling like absolute crap while in detox is a sign that you are not detoxifying healthfully. This unhealthy process shows that you may just be “recycling” the toxins from the liver back into an unhealthy gut then back to the liver. This process creates a danger not only to how we feel now but also to our long-term health, putting unnecessary stress and strain on our vital organs.
