Background:
Detoxification is one of Dr. Ritamarie’s favorite topics. People ask Dr. Ritamarie all the time about what toxins are and why they need a detoxification program, especially if they don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or take drugs. Toxins create problems which you would perceive as symptoms or diseases. Detoxification happens naturally in our body all the time – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have these amazing inborn mechanisms for detoxifying, so why do we need to do a detoxification program, or anything special, in order to detoxify if your body’s built in mechanism handles it all the time?
Join Dr. Ritamarie and author Susan Schenck as they discuss what goes on in detoxification – the cells and the organs. Besides the liver, there are enzymes that help start the process of detoxification. If your digestion is impaired, you eat on the run, and eat food with pesticides, your body produces toxins, making it harder for your body’s natural digestion capacity to detox. Learn about how altering your diet, changing your stress levels, and using specialized foods that have the high levels of nutrients your liver needs to detoxify will help support your body as it naturally goes through its detoxification process.
Susan Schenck is a licensed acupuncturist (LAc) with a master of traditional Oriental medicine (MTOM) degree from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. She also has a BS in education and MS in applied linguistics from Indiana University. She has taught all levels of education and is currently an avid health writer and educator. She has read hundreds of books on nutrition, and is fully convinced that what you eat is the most important factor in health. Extensive world travels broadened her mind to novel ideas.
Susan is also the author of The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet. The first edition won the IPPY award as “most progressive health book of the year.” The second edition of the Live Food Factor is an updated, expanded, and revised comprehensive guide to the raw food diet, with a section on inspiration, a section on science, a section on the history of raw foodism, a complete how-to section, including frequently asked questions & answers, and recipes. It contains 66 scientific studies to support the superiority of eating raw. This second edition brings a summary of all the benefits of Natural Hygiene as well.
