Spring Cleaning the Liver:  What is the Standard Process Cleanse Program?

Standard-Process-Cleanse-SupplementsCleanses and detox programs are everywhere. From Hollywood stars like Gwyneth Paltrow endorsing her favorite cleanse, to stores like Wal-Mart, who carry liver and intestinal cleanses. Many patients come into my office asking me if I think that they should do a cleanse.

For some people, it can be a very important step in improving their health and changing their life.

The fact is this: We live in a toxic environment, and our bodies are overwhelmed and bombarded by toxins every day.  Toxins enter the body through the digestive tract, by food additives, contaminated soil (heavy metals: especially cadmium, aluminum and mercury), and soft drinks, etc. The average American consumes 15 lbs. of additives and 200 lbs. of sugar per year!!

The Standard Process 21 Day Cleanse is one way to safely detoxify the body.  Not all cleanses achieve this goal safely, gently, and effectively.  A cleanse that claims to detoxify the body in under three weeks is usually too good to be true. The key factor in an effective and safe cleanse is that it supports Phase Two Liver detoxification.

Let me speak nerd for a moment: Phase Two liver detoxification is essential for the actual removal of toxins from the body. Many cleanses only support Phase One Liver detoxification, which is when toxins are packaged and moved to other parts of the body. Don’t recirculate the garbage!

I have done my share of research and have found the Standard Process Purification Program meets the goals to safely, gently, and effectively detoxify the body. What I like about this program is that it lasts for three weeks (this time frame is great for changing habits), is not based on deprivation (you can add in meat and fish after the 10th day and good fats like oils, etc.), is a phytonutrient, whole food based program with nothing synthetic or processed, AND it supports both phases of detoxification.

 

Nutrition Response Testing® and Reducing Allergies

Through the Nutrition Response Testing® analysis, we are testing your body’s neurological reflexes. These reflexes are the body’s way of telling us what and how your nervous system is doing- as it is the nervous system’s responsibility to regulate the body’s functions for each and every organ. The testing includes testing organs, glands, joints, muscles, etc.  How are YOUR sinuses adapting? Lungs? Tonsils? Liver?  Ask Dr. Jena Hullman, DC how she can help you with this! The first two visits will determine if you are a good candidate for Nutrition Response Testing®.

Ask Lynette today about the Spring Health Savings! Dr. Jena is offering your first 2 visits (Normally $150) for only $67.00!

Get Ready For MIT

Omg, I am so excited to host the Michigan Institute of Thermography in late May! Have you ever heard of thermography breast scans? Too many people have not and it’s a shame. In my most pure value as a doctor, if you know anything about me it’s:

  1. I want to help you and everyone you know.
  2. I am all about prevention when it comes to health care. (We are talking about health care and not sick treatment, right?)
Well at a brainy seminar, I met Dr Barsoum from the MIT and he has an amazing service where he travels to different locations to provide the most professional and cutting edge thermography scans to women.  Imagine wearing infrared night goggles to see at night. Whatever is hotter will offer more heat and therefore more color.  Before any tumor arises in breasts, the tissue MUST increase the vascular supply to the area = more bloodflow = hotter.
Getting your first scan can show you what is hot or becoming hot. You can then DO something about it! Change it BEFORE it becomes anything greater. How novel, the idea of prevention. I LOVE IT. Before offering any service or product to my clients I test it out for you.  I had my own scans done back in November. It was very comfortable and private- no awkward moments at all! Yay.  I stood behind a curtain loud and proud and held my arms out for 15 minutes (while I read a book, Can you say multitasking?:)  My body acclimated to the air temperature and then a woman’s hand came into my space from behind the curtain and adjusted the infrared camera, took ~6 pictures and we were done. 2 weeks later I received my results in the mail and discovered my left breast has a moderate-risk spot and now I’m DOING something about it. I really look forward to MIT coming up in May for my follow-up!  If you or anyone you know care about their breast health, please look into this and/or ask me about it! Or better yet, register for May’s MIT visit. Ask Dr. Jena or Lynette for details.
