DETOX (F)OR WEIGHT-LOSS

“I have much more energy now! Apart from feeling good about my weight loss it’s great not to feel lethargic any more. My body now feels so good – no bloating, no headaches – so slim!”

J.H. Honiton, who lost well over a stone.

A refreshingly different concept in weight loss! It is actually a de-tox programme and therefore not only for those folk with excess pounds to lose. The link is this: weight gain can occur when the body is unable to naturally get rid of harmful substances so it needs to package them safely where they can’t damage body organs and vital functioning…packaged, for example, somewhere out of the way like, in fat! So, obviously, it makes sense to be informed about the benefits and possible pitfalls of the de-tox process if you are planning to lose weight.

This programme combines traditional de-tox methods with consideration of psychological and emotional aspects of eating habits. Your astrological sign, body-type and personal circumstances are taken into account, too. There’s also the opportunity to include exciting hi-tech SCIO therapies such as those for weight loss, addiction, anti-cellulite, immune boost, anti-ageing, healthy gut flora, and specific de-tox specialised programmes. (The SCIO bio-feedback device is a state of the art computer system used for wellness testing and a wide range of therapies, all given on an energetic level. Similar technology to that used by astronauts in space.)

Autumn is one of the body’s natural times for cleansing and a period of ‘de-tox for body and mind’ is good for most people. Course leader, Jacqueline Kareh ( a registered nurse and experienced holistic health practitioner), enjoys the clear-headedness, improved skin and eyes, and the lightness and flexibility in her body which come from her own high-energy cleansing programme. Following her ‘Spring-cleaning’ regime can bring other benefits too e.g. healthier digestion, fresher breath and a lessening of allergies or various aches and pains. These improvements are partly due to the alkalising effect of the de-tox diet as it neutralises the acid build-up in the body which comes from bad eating habits, stressful lifestyle, environmental toxins etc. Most people in the West are over-acidic which interferes with the body’s natural ability to heal itself and can contribute to a weakened immune system, illness and poor sleep. This cleansing programme improves mood too, as described here by a former detox participant:

“I changed from being irritable and impatient to being calm and relaxed with a new sense of control and confidence that I’ll be able to maintain my new, healthier eating habits and kind-to-me lifestyle.”

Awareness of the benefits of clearing this build-up of harmful substances from our body is growing and Jacqueline stresses how important it is to do at least your first de-tox under the guidance of an experienced nutritionist/health professional who can assess your suitability for various types of cleansing diet. For this reason she likes all prospective participants of her group to have a (free) personal consultation with her before the course starts.

Jacqueline, who is slim and radiates good health, also offers group participants an enticing 20% discount on all her therapies. These include Reflexology, Rejuvanessence Face-Lift Massage and Metamorphic Massage as well as the above mentioned SCIO therapies and Wellness Check.

The Holistic Weight-loss/Detox group takes place weekly and runs for 6 sessions. Groups run according to demand in Ashburton, Exeter and Honiton. The next groups will start from mid-February 2009. Details from Jacqueline Kareh on 0785 0008133
