When most people reach the age of 60 they are taking many drugs to sustain a condition called stable unwell. This is not health, true health is when you are vibrant and active, being able to carry out any activity that life has to offer as well as doing this without the hindrance of any health problems.

Modern society with all of it toxins, medicines, diet etc. contributes to a build up in toxins that the natural detox system within the body can not cope with causing many health problems. These conditions form slowly over time and effect people differently.

The build up of toxins in my body started to affect me in my early 30's. with chronic back pain.

During the following four years, I got progressively worse; at age thirty-six, I was at the height of my condition. I limped when I walked, my right shoulder had dropped, my whole spine was curved to the right, and I hunched forward. I was taking anti-inflammatory pills just to keep me going through the day. I consistently felt tired and lethargic, and many more small health problems would come and go. Then I received the bad news by my doctor; he told me there was nothing more he could do as I had a degenerative disease called "ankylosing spondylitis," for which he said there was no cure.

My search for answers went from conventional to alternative medicine. Conventional medicine had consistently led me to frustration and put a strain on my finances; alternative medicine, however, started to give me the pieces to the puzzle.

I learned that "ankylosing spondylitis" is an autoimmune disease triggered by an overactive immune system caused by bowel toxaemia. This also explained other problems I had developed, like food allergies, skin irritations, dandruff, bad breath, depleted energy, and a lack of concentration to name a few.

My treatment started with a simple but very comprehensive detox process, and my chronic back pain along with the other conditions began to improve. Within a few months, I reached the point that I was able to exercise again! This was an incredible breakthrough for me, as I used to be a world-class kayaker and a very active surfer.

I am now forty-four and live with the energy and vitality of my teenage years when I was competing in sport at a national level. I am now training to compete in a triathlon in the next six months. I am back out on the surfboard and looking to surf some of the best locations in the world over the coming years.

This story shows the effects toxins had on me and how a detox program had an immediate impact on my health. I have witnessed many people with stories not dissimilar to mine, just different symptoms. With a full body detox, they also achieved incredible results . A well managed complete detox program can help people with chronic illnesses through to minor health issues such as, weight problems, head aches, stomach bloating, lack of energy, skin irritations, general aches and pains to name a few, as well as people looking to just increasing their level of general health that results in more energy and a longer more vibrant life.
