Biodetoxification is a scientifically designed program to help your body get rid of accumulated toxins. Our bodies are designed to handle many naturally occurring toxins, but are overwhelmed by synthetic toxins never before encountered in nature. These include everything from gasoline and diesel fumes, cigarette smoke, industrial pollution, to heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and other agricultural chemicals in food and the water supply, to plastics and fire retardants.

This simple technique can really speed rehabilitation from injuries. Be careful not to stretch while a part is still early in the healing phase -- if in doubt wait or see a professional who understands the healing process and can give you guidance.
