A Time for Change

Nowadays we hear a lot about the devastating effects of widespread pollution on our planet’s environment. But how often do we stop to consider its effect on our bodies? With more than 80,000 chemicals currently in use today and 1,000 more introduced each year, we can no longer deny that we are living in a toxic world—one in which the rate of illness and chronic disease is rising at an alarming rate. Dangerous contaminants abound in the air we breathe, the food and water we consume, and even in the very place we are supposed to be safe from harm: our homes. From our kitchen appliances to the clothes we wear, to the toys our children play with every day, hidden toxins have been quietly making their way into our lives and at times contributing to poor health.

The question is what can we do about it? The solution is The Detox Strategy.

What is The Detox Strategy?

Written by certified nutritional consultant and New York Times bestselling author Brenda Watson and supported by a national PBS special, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps provides a revolutionary natural detoxification program to help people live healthier in an increasingly toxic world. Detoxification refers to the comprehensive process by which our bodies filter and remove toxins, and it involves the combined efforts of a group of organs and organ systems known as the ‘seven channels of elimination.’ They are the liver, lungs, lymphatic system, kidneys, skin, blood and bowel (colon), and together they are responsible for getting rid of waste and toxins. But even though the human body is equipped with a built-in detoxification system, it was never meant to handle the overwhelming number of toxins it encounters today.

That’s why a detox-friendly lifestyle is so important.

The basis for the Detox Strategy is Watson’s easy 5-step RENEW program—or Reduce, Eliminate, Nourish, Energize, and Wellness—which provides the tools necessary to lessen our exposure to hazardous toxins, eliminate those toxins from our daily lives, and nourish and energize our bodies to achieve a state of optimum well-being.
