Detox Retreats

Going on detox retreat is a fantastic way to cleanse your body, clear your mind and improve your health. The Body Balance Company’s structured Detox and Rejuvenation Retreat is research-based and brings medical science and holistic medicine together (East meets West). Detoxifying the body and mind through limiting the diet is an ancient tradition that has been practiced around the world and documented in Hebrew, German, Latin, Sanskrit and Chinese texts dating back thousands of years.

Modern society has veered away from cleansing as a curative procedure despite solid medical evidence supporting its benefits and healing capabilities. Holistic Cleansing is an integral part of living a healthy life. It helps to purify the body, cleanse the mind, and harmonise the spirit. No matter how perfect you think your diet is and how well you take care of your self (or not), rest and rejuvenation of the digestive system through fasting beyond a 24-period is necessary for the body to detox and rejuvenate. – YES your body is amazing!

Fasting at home within reach of the temptations of the refrigerator and your favourite local restaurants is a risky endeavour indeed. On the other hand, one of life’s modern luxuries is to be able to escape to a tropical paradise and fast in the company of those who can best support you to achieve your goals.

Fasting is an exceptionally ancient, and powerful, approach to healing many disease conditions. It allows the body to rest, detoxify, and to heal. During fasting the body moves into the same kind of detoxification cycle that it normally enters during sleep. It uses its energy during a fast, not for digesting food, but for cleansing the body of accumulated toxins and healing any parts of it that are ill. 

As a fast progresses the body consumes everything that it can that is not essential to bodily functioning. This includes bacteria, viruses, funghi, parasites, fibroid tumors, heavy metals, cholesterol, waste products in the blood; any build up around the joints, and stored fat. Historical records indicate that human beings are evolutionarily designed to fast. It is an incredibly safe approach to healing and the body knows how to do it very well.

The benefits of fasting and healing

Fasting has been found to help a number of disease conditions, often permanently. There have been a number of intriguing clinical trials and studies treating numerous disease conditions with fasting. To learn more about those findings and the list of conditions, click here to read the blog post.

Fasting under medical supervision

While most people can fast safely, people with serious disease conditions should do so only under the supervision of a health professional experienced in fasting for healing. This is list is not limited to these serious conditions:

• Cancer patients
  Infants and young children
• Type I & II diabetics
• Those with insufficient kidney function
• Morbidly Obese
• Those who are extremely afraid of fasting yet wish to do so anyway
• People with a high toxic contamination level of DDT. DDT is stored by the body in a highly concentrated form within fat tissue. Fasting can release huge levels of DDT into the bloodstream as the fat stores are released. This can be quite dangerous.

People who should NOT fast

Although most people can fast, there are a few who, because of special conditions, that should not.

• People who are extremely emaciated or in a state of starvation
• Those who are anorexic or bulimic
• Pregnant Women
• Nursing Mothers
• Those who have severe anemia
• Those with an extreme fear of fasting
• Those with Porphyria. Porphyria refers to a genetic metabolic defect that affects the body’s ability to manage porphyrins. Porphyrins are a group of compounds that combine with iron to produce blood, are involved in the control of electron transport systems, and, within mitochondria, are intricately involved in the production, accumulation, and utilization of energy. Porphyria can cause malfunctions in the liver, bone marrow, and red blood cells and produces a wide range of symptoms including seizures.
• People with a rare, genetic, fatty acid deficiency, which prevents the initiation of ketosis. This is a deficiency involving the enzyme acetyl-CoA, a mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation enzyme, that is essential to ketosis. Those with this deficiency who do fast can experience severe side effects, including hepatic steatosis (fatty liver), myocardial lipid accumulation, and severe hypoglycemia.
