To Detox or Not to Detox

As part of my gig as the social networker (Facebook/Twitter) I do research (ie read) for what's new and happening in the health and fitness world. I came across an article in the June issue of Elle magazine entitled "Tune Up" which is about "cleansing the body". In essence, it talks about main stream medicine (Western or allopathic medicine) is slowly beginning to turn its wheels to some validity to "detoxing" the body. Why? Science is starting to support it. There are several authorities cited as well as a few celebrities who support the process of detox and the consumption of foods that support the body's own natural process of detox. 

Can you hear us cheering at Mountain Trek? If you've been a guest with us, you know we are proponents of detox especially eating more cleansing foods (ie, no wheat, no processed foods, and no sugar), supporting lymphathic drainage through massage and yoga, and use of our infrared sauna and steam room for increased sweating and blood circulation. Our nutrition lectures speak more about food sensitives and how foods can create more toxic loads in bodies inhibiting weight loss. 

We cheer again, Western medicine for investigating what we have known is true and works for us at Mountain Trek. And for those in the western medicine field who go against some pretty ingrained belief systems and write books about it.
