We don’t need a detoxification program to remove toxins from within our body. The human body carries all the instructions needed in its DNA, for how to independently cleanse itself. The only thing our body needs us to do, is stop poisoning ourselves on the daily.
This means going organic with your diet when possible, avoiding UPFs and QSR food, eating only minimally processed food and the removal of cosmetics and indoor pollutants from your living space/self as best you can. If we do our best at detoxicating these poisons from our living space/self, then your body’s potential to self-cleanse is possible.
As for our body’s outer covering, aka our skin, hair and nails, the body is equally efficient at self-cleansing these tissues. We don’t need soap to wash our bodies. A washcloth and water alone is all that’s needed to gently exfoliate (remove) pollution and dead cells from one’s body to feel clean and keep a pleasant natural scent.
Bacterial communities in the microbiome of our skin, hair and nails help protect us from some of the damaging effects of pollution, UV rays and may prevent graying of hair. Soap, no matter how it’s advertised, is still a detergent. It will breakup bacterial communities and breakdown oil on the top layer of the skin, hair and nails, leaving each tissue unprotected, dry and irritated.
Install a bath and /or shower filter to bathe with filtered water. Filtered water is free of harsh chemicals and minerals that can also dry out skin and damage hair and nails. Filtered water will leave your outer covering hydrated and stronger.

Toxic food additives and environmental pollutants usually accumulate in fat cells first after entering the body. As a result, fat cells prevent toxins from building up in our organs. Thus, protecting us from their toxic effects. That said, during weight loss, fats break down and toxins are released into our bloodstream.
An obese or overweight person may end up storing an excessive amount of toxins over decades. Diet and intense exercise can cause fat cells to break down over a short period of time. Thereby, releasing a large amount of toxins into the bloodstream. If this happens, it will increase your body’s oxidative stress levels. As a result, health problems are sure to follow.
IMO, to detoxify your body via weight loss – intermittent fasting spread out over a year(s), along with a detoxicating lifestyle is the way to achieve long-term weight loss safely. You see, our bodies are well-equipped to handle most all toxicants in very small doses. So, if we take our time burning fat, the human body will detoxify and heal itself while we lose weight.

The toxic heavy metals that represent a major health concern are arsenic, lead and mercury. Studies indicate that these metals can cause a variety of health problems ranging from skin lesions to DNA damage – abnormal changes to the makeup of one’s gene(s). Toxic heavy metal exposure has risen dramatically as a result of their increased use in industrial, agricultural, medicinal, and household products.
After ingesting organic or inorganic arsenic, a person may feel sick in as little as 30 minutes. After ingesting or inhaling lead, it can stay in the body for about 1–2 months before causing health problems. After ingesting, inhaling or absorbing mercury through the skin, it can stay in the blood for weeks or months before causing health problems.
Toxic heavy metal exposure via air and water pollution, food, LSI drugs and personal care products is likely to happen to everyone. That said, detoxication can significantly reduce toxic heavy metals from entering our body.
IMO, detoxication involves:
Exposure reduction – stop applying and consuming all cosmetics, ultra-processed food and most medications.
Oxidative stress reduction – the banning of said metal pollutants from being used in agriculture (go organic) and from their disposal via wastewater that is directly released into our environment’s ecosystem.
Ion exchange filters – a purification and separation process that removes toxic heavy metals from your drinking water.
