DrugBuyers.Com: Unable to move upon awakening??

I've not been around a long time like some of the others here (just made journeyman today, in fact), but I do have a Master's Degree in Natural Medicine. (A four year, full time degree in my country.) This is what I was taught during my training, and later saw for myself when I was in practise. I've even undergone the process myself (several times) to better understand it.

Anything you put on the outside of your body doesn't do a whole lot for de-toxing the inside.

To truly de-tox, you need for find a facility that specializes in Natural Medicine, (surely there are some here in the US), and go through their de-tox program. In Australia, (where I earned my degree and practised for some time), the process starts with going into a 'clean' room. Closed windows and closed doors. The room is cleaned daily to an almost sterile level. Anyone entering has to gown up with booties, mask, gloves and sterile gown. You fast (as in NO FOOD, AT ALL) for several days, while constantly drinking huge amounts of filtered water. The room is keep slightly warmer than is truly comfortable to encourage sweating.

After about the third day, you do really start to stink. (All those toxins working their way out.) Frequent showers (with a naturally made soap...basically fat and lye) are encouraged too. The worst of the stink tones down around day 6 or 7, depending on just what is in your system to begin with. No drugs of any kind are offered, unless they are absolutely needed to keep you alive or out of pain. (Extend the de-tox by two days if meds of any kind are being used.) Laxatives or enemas are also offered, but with the amount of water you have to drink each day, going to the bathroom generally isn't a problem.

Around day 7 or 8, you get your first meal. Clear broth. Food is gradually re-introduced over a period of several days...all the while the doctors or Natural Medicine practioners are looking out for any adverse reactions. The entire process can take from 14 to 21 days, depending on what was already in your system to begin with, and whether you have had a de-tox before. (I was released on day 18.) I've seen for myself that some folks who regularly de-tox go through the entire process in just 14 days. (They usually take a two week vacation and enter the de-tox program. Not exactly my idea of a vacation.) First timers, or people with a high toxin load can go a full 21 days.

You don't lose a lot of weight as you are not encouraged to move around more than is strictly needed. (I actually read 20 books, and caught up on my studies during my de-tox period.) The first 3 to 4 days are the hardest as your body adjusts to not eating. Everytime my tummy rumbled, I just had another glass of water. I was monitored around the clock at 4 hour intervals. Any sign of increased/decreased BP, pulse or temp meant the end of it. You were rapily brought back to a full diet as quickly as your body will adjust. Visitors are usually okay, so long as they gown up too. I played a LOT of chess with a study buddy who came by every day to make sure I didn't die of boredom!

You can do a modified version at home, but it best done under the care of a doctor or Natural Medicine practioner. They are trained to spot any difficulties before they become life threatening. This can be something of a problem for the home de-tox people because some don't re-introduce solid food at the right point, and can make themselves quite ill. Because I am trained, I can safely do a home de-tox, and do so about every two years...taking a full 16 days to do it. (I take pain meds as well as one other that keeps me alive.) Seeing I work from home, and have a job that has me in front of a computer the whole time, I really only move from the bed, to the bathroom to the computer. (Maybe 20 steps in all. Although, I do a LOT of bathroom trips.)

The most common mind/emotional problems with a full de-tox are tiredness, some mental and emotional upping and downing, an inability to concentrate (rare, but it does happen...at least to me), and the sheer boredom of sitting about doing nothing more than drinking copious quanities of water. In a hospital type set up, not even TV is allowed due to the out-gassing from various bits inside the box. Same goes from carpet and most furniture. Floors are usually plain boards or lino, and the only furniture is a hospital bed, a stainless steel locker beside the bed, and a tray table. Usually a single stainless steel chair is added for visitors, and even that is removed when they go.

Hopefully, this helps you understand what it takes to do a true de-tox. Anything you stick on your outside, isn't going to do a whole lot for your inside.
