The liver detox was a success! I feel fantastic. I have so much energy. I can think clearly. I cannot stress enough how amazed I am by this process. I knew that a liver detox is very beneficial to achieving a more optimal level of health. I cannot describe the difference I feel. It is something that every person must experience.
I have learned that it is not enough to simply change your eating habits. While this is very good and important to do, it is necessary to change your "filter". Think about what would happen to your car if you never changed the oil. It would start causing you problems and eventually break down. Our bodies also need to be cleaned out to process food and absorb nutrients correctly.
My level of inflammation was quite high. I experienced a true detox the first night. It was horrific. It provided me with a visual of the massive toxic load stored in my body.
Now what?
I can introduce new foods into my diet. I will want to do this very slowly and take notice at which foods cause me inflammatory stress. Moving forward, I am going to cut back the amount of caffeine I drink each day. I love a cup of coffee in the morning and will not cut it out completely but I will not rely on it to get me through the day. I will also avoid gluten as much as possible. This food additive is linked to many auto-immune diseases.
I will continue taking the Alpha Base capsules, increasing the dose to four a day. Alpha Base is an amazing pharmaceutical grade multivitamin.
Fish oil and probiotics are two stables in my health regimen. Fish oil is important for heart health, immune support and cognitive function. Probiotics have a long list of benefits including maintaining optimal gut and immune health.
Finally, vitamin D. It is so important to know your vitamin D level. Almost everyone living in the midwest will need a vitamin D supplement. We simply cannot get enough from the sun's rays (which we want to avoid anyway). Vitamin D is essential in all aspects of health. The following Web site is a great resource for vitamin D: http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/
I maintained a weight loss of 6 lbs on the liver detox protocol. This is a great jump start to a weight loss program. We have seen an extraordinary amount of success with patients using low doses of HCG for weight loss. A liver detox is actually the precursor to this program. Your body will not allow you to lose weight after a certain point if your liver is not working optimally. Our pharmacy offers an HCG consultation program that has been extremely successful. My mother participated in this program. She lost a lot of weight on HCG and says that having an expert hold her accountable and being a resource was the key to her weight loss success.
I will definitely do the Core Restore liver detox again. My goal is to do it once a year. I found it very beneficial to do it in a group. Detoxing isn't a joyful experience. Your body is eliminating stored toxins. You will experience this in headaches, mood swings, body ache, hunger, etc... It makes such a difference to know others are experiencing the same effects. You are not alone in the process. I now know what the end result feels like. It is a breath of fresh air. A new start. I truly feel like a million bucks :)
