Sick of hearing detox, detox, detox?

My list looks a lot like yours.
I do real parsley. I put it in our food or just a sprig on the dinner plate to eat after.
Cilantro is real in our house too. I love the taste of it. In eggs, or dips or in a sauce over the fish. I try not to ever cook it, I want the real deal.
Another real thing is tumeric. It can make a orange mess on a cutting board but it is yummy. Also great on eggs. It is like ginger (a root) but chops better, not as stringy. It will stain a counter so wipe it up quick.
I love Braggs Apple Cider vinegar drinks. I think the Concord Grape is my latest fav. That's 8 fluid ounces and I love GT Millennium kombucha - I am very hooked on Multi-Green and that's 8 fluid ounces.
I eat a lot of garlic. I love it.
I love my lemon water!!
I dry brush and cold rinse at the end of the shower.
I do a swig of benadryl some nights. Y'all know I do childrens liquid.
Beyond Balance Tox Ease GL
BioSil
Great Lakes Gelatin
Peptan Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein Powder
tons of supplements - CoQ10, Mushroom complex, cinnamon, more tumeric in caps, Fo-ti, cat's claw, magnesium, garlic in caps, multi, B's, lots of C, Quercitin, Bromelain, D-Limonene, NAC, MSM, Omegas, etc.

Gosh, I know I am missing some.

I keep thinking of things. My probiotics, my exercise, charcoal, Every day I do some kind of fermented food. I just got beet and apples, so very yummy. And I got carrot slices fermented in ginger and tumeric. I love just a little bowl of sauerkraut.

Bet I am still leaving something out. LOL

I am new so I don't do a lot of detoxing at once, since I am still considering and trying different options and figuring out what works best for me. I use cabbage juice, lemon water, activated charcoal, foot bath, apple cider vineger, gingko biloba caps, digestive enzymes which have turmeric in it, peppermint tea.
I took moringa earlier but it gave me upset stomach.

I feel nausea when I take activated charcoal, why is that?

I use castor oil packs. I really work up a sweat with them! It helped decrease the inflammation in my knee after surgery. (tried it one day, it took away the pain completely!)

Nice to do in the evening if watching a movie, reading, listening to a podcast, meditating...

And it's cheap! You can use it over and over and over...I occasionally add a little more oil to the flannel.

Um. You guys do that every day? I'm definitely not detoxing enough then at all. I thought I was doing good drinking water and skin brushing before taking epsom baths even if I didn't think I needed to. If I feel like crap I take alka-seltzer gold and use a liver detox essential oil blend.

I am taking BT detox from Byron White formulas and liposomal glutathione. That's about it. I have started making myself walk every day with the dogs.

maybe I need to rethink what I'm doing? My LLMD definitely doesn't emphasize detox very much.

Do you take it with at least 8 oz. of water?

No, I didn't know it is important. I will try to drink it in that way. Thank you very much for your help.

Oh, it's very important to drink sufficient water when taking activated charcoal. Besides nausea, a person could be at risk of constipation which is the last thing we want to have happen with toxins.

Happy to help - we're all in this together :)

I am very surprised not to see coffee enema's on anybody's list yet.
I know a lot of people that swear by them, including myself.
I do them daily, I get immediate relief from them.

I realize that it may not sound very appealing and they are time consuming.
After I finally started doing them I regretted waiting so long to start them.

sorry to be the one on the 'other side' but i do a lot of detoxing daily and frankly it hasn't done much for me i'm about the same before and after i've tried it. and no it isn't i'm not doing enough or consistent enough it just doesn't do much for me. frankly i'm surprised i see it so spoken of here like a religion i mean i guess it makes sense when explained but for me personally it doesn't do a heck of a lot :o(

Off the top of my head (too lazy to get off my arse and check my kitchen corner of potions)

- exercise at least 5 days a week
- lots of water daily - some with organic lemon juice
- Pinella and Burbur - daily
- Epsom salt baths - minimum 4 days a week
- Dry brush before baths
- Acivated charcoal - 4-5 days a week
- Alka Seltzer gold - few times a week
- Pekana - Apo-Hepat (liver detox) - daily
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil daily (don't know if that's considered detox.
- curcumin

I've probably forgotten some.

I agree about Wellness Mama, Kathie :)

Yes, I was quite impressed with the actions of castor oil packs. I must admit I didn't really know what they were and never researched the topic.

You shared so many great links, I made them into hyperlinks.

If you'd like to know how to make a hyperlink.....

Copy and paste the link you'd like to share

Before the link, type these letters: url inside these brackets: [ ]

At the end of the link, type this: /url inside these brackets: [ ]

It's very hard to give these instructions without actually creating a hyperlink ;)

my list feels puny compared to the rest of you, but it's been working for me. Daily, never miss a day

1. dry skin brushing
2. epsom with hydro pro
3. Lemon water (90% of the water I drink per day is lemon water)
4. ACV
5. Milk thistle (but stopped because it caused breaks out on my face)
6. a liquid nutritional supp that has detoxing elements in it
7. I would write "exercise" but I've been slacking there, need to pick it back up

These detoxing method allow me to only feel a few mild and short lived symptoms a day.

Perhaps if I up'ed my detox I would have some 100% symptom free days? I don't know. All I know is I use to feel significantly worse back when I didn't detox.

Ya know...after Kathie mentioned the MTHFR info on the Wellness Mama site, I was reminded that I take methyl-B's and methyl-folate ever since I learned that I'm hetero for C677T.

When I think about ALL the folic acid my OB/GYN's had me take when I was pregnant, it's quite annoying to think that all it probably did was add to my toxin load - sigh.

Bottom line, those of us with MTHFR issues have a harder time with detoxing. Even though my particular MTHFR situation isn't the worst, I still have impaired detoxing capabilities. That's why I do so much stuff for detoxing.
