Detox Rashes

July 1, 2014 by Andrea Fabry 12 Comments

Detox Rashes

I had no idea our rashes that developed while living in our toxic home had any connection with our environment. Of course, the skin is an easy port of entry and exit for the body, so in retrospect it’s obvious.

Diet and Mental Health

The first time I realized that the digestive tract is connected with mental health was the second day of a juice fast. In the fall of 2009, I felt I had nothing to lose by taking a break from food. For the first time in many years, I experienced mental clarity. I was shocked. The…

Detoxing for Dummies

Detoxing for Dummies

Pay no attention to the title of this entry. The truth is we’re all overloaded and anyone who considers a de-tox protocol is anything but a dummy. Still, I had no idea what to expect when we began our journey in 2009. One of my older daughters’ hair turned red (from a dark brown). The…
