Purification Detox
Clinical Purification Protocol BY STANDARD PROCESS*
Detoxification, digestion, and food sensitivities
Purification, also known as detoxification, can help you remove
natural toxins from your body and help maintain a healthy weight . We are exposed to external toxins on a daily basis . These include pollutants, pesticides, and chemicals . Internally, our bodies produce waste byproducts as a result of normal metabolic function . Although your body is designed to rid itself of these toxins naturally, it can become overburdened . Purification offers your body additional support to expel and metabolize these toxins and manage weight, which is important to maintaining your health and vitality .*
Toxins can contribute to a wide range of conditions:
- Stuffy Head
- Fatigue or difficulty sleeping

Cleansing and revitalizing your digestive tract
In order to give your digestive system a break and help your body cleanse itself from the inside out, remove the following food items from your diet for a full 21 day period. Not only will this give your body a rest from digestive irritants, but it if you choose to reintroduce theses foods into your diet later on, you can do so one at a time. You will soon be able to tell if you are sensitive to a particular food by the way that you feel – your body’s natural wellness indicator. While on a purification program it is important for you to supplement your diet with nutrient dense foods and herbs that support all of the organs in your body that take part in the purification process.
What foods you should stop eating
- Wheat (only exception, organic sprouted wheat berries)
- Dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc.)
- Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils
- Refined sugars
- Vinegar (except apple cider vinegar)
- Caffeine (coffee, non-herbal iced tea, etc.)
- Carbonated beverages

If you are still hungry, increase your intake of whole food-based supplement shakes, fresh fruits, vegetables and plenty of water – at least eight glasses per day.
