Spring 2010

Spring Detox 2010 Program

I am preparing for my upcoming annual Spring Cleanse (my 35th year) with a group at my clinic, Preventive Medical Center of Marin.

This year's program begins on March 18th, and we'll cleanse into the first week of Spring. Interested in joining me in your pursuit for better health through some detoxification program? If so, please call Julie Dietz at 415-472-2343, or email her at Julie@pmcmarin.com.

Sign up now for beginning Nature's year with a cleaner body. I only accept 25 people. Of course, you can also do this program on your own or with friends and family.

Some of you may be ready for 7-10 days of juice cleansing, as with the Master Cleanser Lemonade Diet, yet many more of you can benefit by "taking a break" from your overused foods and substances.

March, April, and May are great times for Spring Cleansing, depending on where you are and when Spring springs forth, to lighten up your bodies and clean up your habits. For most of you, I suggest at least taking a few week break from your favorite -- yet potentially problematic foods -- which often include wheat and baked goods, dairy products, and any foods with added sugar. And look at your habitual SNACCs:

• Sugar
• Nicotine
• Alcohol
• Caffeine
• Chemicals.

One of the basic programs I suggest for my detox groups involves the removal of five key (and overused) items from your diet for this purification period. The Big Five are: Sugar, Caffeine, Alcohol, Wheat and Dairy Products. (Yes, similar to the SNACCs yet with added wheat and dairy to avoid. We would also take out meats to lighten our diet even more.) I look at this healthy process of habit "clean-up" and detoxification as a very affordable preventive medicine approach.
