Detoxification is and has been a core element of initial assessment and treatment protocols in the world of ‘holistic’ or functional type medical treatment plans since the body can’t heal or begin to function optimally when loaded with toxins. Toxins impair cellular function.

Almost 20 years ago, when I first ventured into holistic medical treatment, I went through several detoxification treatments that provided a remarkable improvement. I had the good fortune to be invited to attend several weekend Detox seminars for medical practitioners and learned with them the fundamentals for patient assessment and treatment plans which remain with me today as part of my health maintenance.

One of the seminars on Environmental Medicine featured Pediatrician, Doris Rapp, MD who has crusaded for years that “we live in a toxic world.” Her books connecting the increasing prevalence of learning disorders to toxicity are legend… ie, Is This Your Child? and Is This Your Child’s World?

When people are suffering with various and often vague ailments, the first order of assessment is Lifestyle, Diet and Environment… what’s in each of those that contributes collectively to the toxic burden behind the scenes until there is an adverse manifestation.

Unless or until those influences are addressed, the patient often is unable to make progress with treatment plans. All forms of drugs add to the toxic burden. This would be especially relevant to afibbers with an existing toxic burden.

Thank you for this very important reminder.
