Do You Need To Detox? The Checklist

Last updated on 6 MAY 2019

Skin problems, fatigue, frequent attacks of headaches or migraines are all early warning signs of ill health and that your system could do with a detox.

I want to share with you the detox checklist I used for my clients to find if they need a detox.

Are You Suffering from Toxin Overload?

Print out this checklist below and tick off questions that are true. The more “yes” answers, the more and longer you need to go on a detox program. If you answer “yes” to at least 5 questions, you are likely to benefit from a detox.

This is by no means a comprehensive checklist and is not diagnostic, but will help you understand if you need a detox. Always check with your doctor before you go on any detox program, especially if you are suffering from any health conditions or are on some kind of medication.

Thank you for a fantastic and very very informative site! I am interested to start the colon detox. The one where you drink the fiber drink before each meal. Do i eat normally those days? I mean, do i continue my normal eating habits those days and “just” add the drink before each meal? We eat healthy in general and a diet with lots of veggies and fruit. I just started juicing(!!!) everyday and i love it!! Very much appreciate your time to inform us and taking the time to answer.
Warmest, Susanne Zaki

  Hi Susanne, thank you for your kind words. The gastrointestinal cleanse … yes, as long as you are generally eating a healthy diet with lots of veges and fruits, definitely “just” add the fiber drink and the recommended supplements. Juicing, while being on the gastro cleanse is great too! Keep it up! (Reference: http://juicing-for-health.com/gastrointestinal-cleanse).
