Detoxification Protocols
MODULE #3
Over the past 50 years, more than 100,000 toxic chemicals, including heavy metals and pesticides, have been introduced into our environment – into the air that we breathe, food that we eat, and water that we drink. Toxins can accumulate and damage critical internal body systems. To remain healthy and vital in our increasingly toxic world, we must support our bodies’ natural detoxification mechanisms. A comprehensive detoxification program should be considered for all patients, to “jump start” their health restoration program.
For comprehensive detox support, The Alkaline Way recommends…
- A diet high in bio-detox super foods (GGOBE)
- Resting the digestive system periodically
- Purification modalities such as low temperature saunas and salt and soda baths
- Periodic C Cleanses
- A supplement program to include- Amino acids, minerals, and other nutrients that effectively clear toxins while neutralizing excess cellular acid and protecting cells against deterioration.
– Liver protection through cell renewal, free radical removal, natural detoxifiers, and nutrients proven to support liver function.
– High potency, pure, un-oxidized omega 3s to aid in removal of toxins from fat cells and replenish with healthy fats.
To better understand the detox recommendations and tools available through PERQUE Integrative Health (PIH), watch the recent webinar presentation by PIH founder, Dr. Russ Jaffe.
Give the digestive system a rest with a liquids-only day each week. This day should not be a calorie free diet or fast. It should be filled with fresh and delicious vegetable and fruit juices, miso and broth, fruit smoothies, and herbal teas. Tell patients to drink as much as needed to feel satisfied. An 8-ounce glass of liquid each hour is a good way to start.
A liquids-only day is included in the optional rotation diet that comes with the hsLRA. See sample here.
Along with salt and soda baths, low temperature saunas are an effective and enjoyable way to mobilize and release toxins stored in fat tissue. Reducing the burden of these neurohormone- and endocrine-impeding chemicals can significantly improve mental and physical health.
Use Chapter 6 of Joy in Living: The Alkaline Way to guide patients in correctly implementing these powerful detox practices.
Make these bio-detox super foods staples rather than condiments in the diet.
These super-foods provide the body with minerals especially sulfur and sulforaphane, an organosulfur compound that supports healthy detoxification systems and has valuable anticancer, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial properties

Periodic C Cleanse
The C Cleanse protocol developed by Dr. Russell Jaffe serves two purposes:
Detox – It purifies and eases the toxic burden on the body. The C Cleanse can be used to charge up the cellular electron pool, promote cellular healing and metabolism, and safely purge the body of toxins, while providing a foundation for sustainable health.
Calibration – It reveals how much ascorbate an individual needs at any given time. Though everyone benefits from buffered ascorbate, the amount needed to fully repair, restore, and maintain good health is determined by the level of toxic material stored in the cells.
SUMMARY
The toxic burdens of modern life make supporting detoxification essential. Start patients on a comprehensive nutrient detox support program like the PERQUE Detox Protocol, including periodic C Cleanses.
Guide patients in the things they can do themselves:
Salt and soda baths
Low temperature saunas
Liquids-only days
Eat more GGOBE foods
Use Joy in Living: The Alkaline Way as a tool in your practice to reinforce the healthful lifestyle choices you want your patients to make.
