In this video I want to talk about a few specifics with certain diseases and detoxification. The first one is with autoimmune diseases. Whenever you're trying to detoxify with an autoimmune disease, some people have to realize as you detoxify, sometimes the disease will flare. So there are certain things like buffered vitamin C as well as activate charcoal that can help bind the toxins up in your GI tract to help minimize any flares you might have. Also, doing a gluten free, dairy free, soy free, or some kind of PA paleo like diet can be super huge to minimize the toxic burden. People with autoimmune diseases have to be careful not to have it flare while they're doing the protocol they need to be. Make sure they're working with a skilled practitioner that can actually guide them through this.
