How do I prepare for detox?

Proper detoxification is crucial. An unbalanced detox can lead to the release of endotoxins, triggering immune reactions and disrupting bile flow. This stagnation can harm the liver and cause toxin buildup in the blood, reducing glutathione levels and increasing oxidative stress.

Detoxification occurs in three phases: release, breakdown, and elimination. Endotoxins can impair bile flow, hindering phases two and three, resulting in detox reactions.

Detox Reactions:

1. Herxheimer reaction (flu-like symptoms)

2. Right-quadrant pain

3. Nausea

4. Stool changes

5. Itchiness

6. Vision changes

7. Dark urine

Pre-detox Preparation:

- Take purified bile salts 30 minutes before starting detox. If reactions occur, additional bile salts may help.
