Detoxification

Detoxification is the body's natural process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins via the liver,  kidneys, colon, lungs and the skin. Detoxification therapies frequently serve as a foundation upon which alternative medicine is built.

Each year people are exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals and pollutants in the earth's atmosphere, water, food and soil. Building materials used in the home and workplace are often made from chemicals that are very toxic to humans and everyday products such as gasoline, paint, household cleaners, cosmetics, pesticides, inks, over the counter and prescription drugs, and dry cleaning fluid also pose a serious threat because the body cannot easily break them down.

These toxins and pollutants can overwhelm the detoxification pathways and can manifest themselves in a variety of symptoms, including decreased immune function, neurotoxicity, hormonal dysfunction, psychological disturbances, auto-immune diseases, and even cancer.

The physicians at Westhampton Natural Medicine, Dr. Eric R. Hampton and Dr. Melinda J. Whitsell, consider detoxification therapy absolutely essential in the treatment of all disease and illness. We use several methods of detoxification such as intravenous therapy, chelation therapy, physician supervised fasting programs, and individually tailored dietary modification using several different types of botanical and nutrient based supplements.

The need to tackle toxic burdens before they manifest themselves as disease has never been greater. It is clear to us that the future of health care will have at its very core an absolute requirement for safe and effective detoxification procedures, hopefully instituted before the individual's immune system and vital organs have ceased to operate adequately.
