Summary |
Organic Total Body Detox
Poor nutrition choices by way of processed foods high in fat and sugar leads to many of the chronic conditions prevalent in our society. Indigestion, heartburn, irritable bowel, constipation, fatigue, gas and bloating are some of the health problems people live with that are directly linked to their diet. Many people are finding that by eliminating or at the very least reducing the amount of processed food they consume they are ridding themselves of these the common digestive difficulties. The optimal method for nourishing the body properly is to consume a diet of whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruit, water, controlled amounts of proteins, fats, and dairy. However, there are supplements on the market today that effectively promote the natural detoxification of the body as well when used alongside a proper diet. Not all detoxification or cleansing programs being sold are safe or effective; it behooves the consumer to keep the following in mind before purchasing any herbal remedy. Organic whole herbs that have been proven effective in traditional medicine are less likely to be adulterated by fillers or additives. Detoxification programs should be considered temporary, the body has a remarkable ability to slough off impurities when a proper diet is being consumed, extended use of any cleansing program could damage the digestive system.
Organic Total Body Cleanse is advertised as a 14-day, 3-step organic internal cleansing program. Manufacturers claim their ingredients of organic herbs and fiber will effectively cleanse the body without adding stress to the digestive system.
The first stage of the OTBC is detoxification of the liver, lungs, lymphatic system, kidneys, skin and blood with cleansing herbs. Stage 2 will apparently “capture”
what the first stage is filtering off from the organs and blood; they refer to this as purification. We presume that stage 3 acts like the clean up crew after a heavy metal band—cleaning and preparing for the next act. We hope that the next act will be a transformed diet and lifestyle or the whole program could be a waste of time and money.

Some of the ingredients in the cleansing program are Burdock Root, Oat Bran, and Rhubarb root
Burdock is a root that is found in Europe in Asia. It is believed to have medicinal qualities and has been used in many herbal remedies. The root is sweet to the taste and has a gummy consistency. Traditionally, burdock has been used as a remedy for measles, arthritis, tonsillitis, viruses like colds, throat pain, and as a diuretic. In modern times, burdock is also used in oncology.
Oat bran is the edible, outermost layer of the oat kernel. Oats have been recognized as a food and an herb. Like oatmeal, oat bran contains B complex vitamins, protein, fat, minerals, and heart healthy soluble fiber.
Rhubarb root is used in the treatment of constipation, diarrhea, jaundice, gastro-intestinal hemorrhage, menstrual disorders, conjunctivitis, traumatic injuries, and ulcers.

| Final Thoughts |
|
Nourishing the body and building a healthy immune system is imperative for a healthy life. Supplements that offer to cleanse or detoxify the body are intended to be a nutrition aide, not a replacement for whole food nutrition, so it is discouraging that information available for this product does not include coaching on diet and lifestyle changes. Detoxification supplements like Organic Total Body Detox used alongside healthy eating, water consumption, and exercise can bring relief for the body’s digestive system and may even cause healing of some chronic health conditions.
There are detoxification supplements available that require less cleansing time and offer more convenience through alternative patch methods that have shown some positive results for the active adult. It is said, we are our own best advocate and that is good advice when considering any health supplement intervention. Thorough research and a good dose of self-education are in order before purchasing any supplement.
