I did my detox few years ago after some real life testimonies from a close couple friend.Being a health enthusiast, it wasn’t hard to make a decision to take up the detox challenge. After all, I’m opened to natural health matters and information pertaining to alternative medicine.I am an eczema sufferer for years and recently, I also found out that I had rhinitis (or post nasal drip), a form of allergy that often caused mucus to drip into the throat and thus resulted in throat irritation, sensitivity and coughs (esp in the night).

Anyhow, my 7 day detox was not a bed of roses. The program required me to stay away from regular cooked food except fresh foods (fruits and vegetables), freshly squeezed juices, with the exception of steamed potatoes, vegetables and homemade yogurt. There were also some health supplements that I was required to take during the 7 days, which I won’t go into much details. But it was a good decision made after that 7 days. Believe it or not, my eczema was gone! It sounded like a miracle or a sales pitch you heard on the TV or health product brochure but it’s was true.

After the detox, I felt better, more energized, no more fatigue or frequent sleepiness and I look more refreshed and rejuvenated. Since, I would do a detox on a yearly basis.

So ‘why do we need a detox’, you may ask.
