Do you need to detox? The answer is probably!

Erin Chamerlik, MS

Many medical professionals will tell you that you do not need to detox because your body has a built-in detoxification system. The truth is that we live in a very toxic world and everyone is exposed to toxins that bioaccumulate over years creating a huge toxic burden for many people.

We are all exposed to hundreds of toxins from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and the products we use.

“There are around 84,000 chemicals on the market, and we come into contact with many of them every single day.” Only about 1% have been studied for safety. [source]

In a healthy state, our bodies are designed to process and remove toxic substances on an ongoing basis. However, in our high-tech, industrialized world, where intake of toxins exceeds the body’s excretion capabilities, toxins begin to accumulate within tissues and cells leading to a high toxic burden. A high toxic burden can impede the body’s natural antioxidant and detoxification systems, creating downstream barriers to toxin removal and leading to many symptoms and health decline.

Flame Retardants and Blacktop Parking Lots

Think about this: flame retardants are used in furniture foam and end up inside you. “Every time you sit on an upholstered item, a little bit of dust puffs out, and that dust includes those chemicals.” The dust can be either ingested or inhaled.” Richard Denison, Senior Scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund. Another example involves coal tar–based sealants used on parking lots. The U.S. Geological Survey has tracked the sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) found in urban sediments and streams and discovered that a major source is contributed by runoff from parking lots treated with such sealants. The researchers found that “in apartment buildings adjacent to parking lots that are treated with these sealants, people are literally tracking this material into their homes, and it is resulting in higher levels of PAHs in the house dust in those homes.” [source]

Common Toxins and Sources

  • EXOGENOUS TOXINS – Environmental + external
    • Metals
    • Molds
    • Plasticizers
    • Medications

    ENDOGENOUS TOXINS – Produced by the body
    • Endotoxin [parts of bacteria]
    • Hormones
    • Metabolic byproducts [like carbon dioxide and ammonia]

PushCatch® Liver Detox

This is a nice entry level detox with everything you need in one box. It is mild but gets the job done.

Support Healthy Liver Detox with 2 Piece Kit with Liver Cleanse Botanicals and Ultra Binder.

This versatile two-step cleansing protocol designed to help support the liver.

  • Dr. Shade’s Liver Sauce® contains a blend of four classic drainage botanicals and a synergistic medley of powerful phytonutrients.
  • Ultra Binder contains a broad-spectrum constellation of active ingredients blended with uniquely soothing prebiotic fibers.


“PUSH” (Phase I & II): We use potent nutrients and bitter phytonutrients to help activate critical biochemical pathways like Nrf2 to ‘push’ toxins from the cell to the blood, liver and kidneys.


“CATCH” (Phase III): Bitter compounds support healthy bile flow to move toxins through the liver and kidneys for excretion. Binding agents like charcoal and bentonite clay intercept or ‘catch’ toxins in the intestines for removal, minimizing recirculation.


Avoid detox protocols that recirculate toxins throughout the body.

Improperly designed detox protocols can result in toxin recirculation throughout the body. This two-step liver cleanse helps “push” toxins to the gut and “catches” them with binding agents for safe removal from the body.

“Push” – Liver Sauce® blends phytonutrients and four potent bitters that support the phases of detox and help ‘push’ toxins through the body.

“Catch” – Binders are a crucial step in ‘catching’ and removing toxins from the body, helping to prevent toxic recirculation. Metals, pesticides, hormone mimics, mold toxins, and more: Ultra Binder® is designed to help remove them all.

Feel the Difference – This novel program builds on 10+ years experience developing better detox protocols. It can be adapted for very light frequent detoxification or slowly scaled up for more intensive cleanses.


Review: “This is probably one of the most well thought out approaches to detox to date. It’s complex in its delivery, yet simple to administer. It’s mild enough to not disrupt your daily life with unwanted “herx” reactions. I personally still have 5 amalgams in my mouth, but 1 month of this protocol has made a noticeable difference in a few areas I was struggling with. I still have a long road ahead of me but will be using this product on and off at different levels from now on. This is an excellent product and an excellent value! The delivery and the individual components can not be matched or replicated without spending 100s on individual products. And, you still would be lacking the same delivery and effectiveness. If you are worried about the binders causing constipation, I wouldn’t. I went into this mildly constipated and ended it with more consistent stools than before.”
