What is all that fuss about?

Detox Diets, Detox Juices, Water Detox, Skin Detox, Stomach Detox, Gut Detox and even Digital Detox... Detox Detox Detox is what I hear everywhere...it is as if Detox has become the new replacement for 'hey whatsup'...people seem to greet each other saying 'Hey what detox?'

Detox has become the new spiritual chant word. As a Detox Specialist, of course I am thrilled to bits that Business is booming... I am also thrilled to have more clients calling in asking for a Gut cleanse or a Liver Flush, even when they have no alarming health challenges as opposed to when I began my practice, I had to clarify to many callers that I am not a rehab center - deaddiction center...because back then...that was what Detox Centers were sort for.

However when I see clients extremely excited about beginning their Detox journey I am always a bit wary...Many truly believe that Detox is the one miracle pill that would drive away all their demons...all the aches and pains would vanish and of course the 10kgs that piled up along their waist line, when they were busy working from home, would miraculously melt into thin air quite like camphor. While they are not completely wrong in their expectations, since most of the health challenges do stem from toxic overload in the body... it is the ignorance behind not knowing what and why Detox, that sets them up to face extreme disappointment or in some cases, extreme theatrics like my client Susie (lets just call her that). This was Susie, post a 3 day Detox Juice Diet she did based on her friend's recommendation, "I agreed to take up the 3 day juice detox challenge because my best friend convinced me that Detox was 'THE ANSWER' to all my life's problems. I assumed if it was just drinking juices for 3 days...it would be a cake walk. She never told me what happens on day 3. I experienced what I could only refer to as an Anal Birth! I had a holy blow up in a public restroom and I could've sworn I pooped out my x-boyfriend who I had vindictively roasted and chewed up after he cheated on me (maybe that was part of her mental detox). Of course I lost 5kgs and now I feel sooo rejuvenated, that, I am looking out for new best friend!"
