I’ve been in Europe for about 3 weeks and I’ve eaten extremely unhealthy so I just want to get my body back on track when i get home in a few days. Does anyone know any simple, short detox diets? Does anyone know any good plans or links that have good detox plans? I really don’t know much about detoxing and I barely know how to get myself started
Why do you not go to the local library as they have lots of books on detox and diet which will not cost you anything. If you have eaten badly in Europe for goodness sake do not come to America. Our food and life style will make you even more unhealthy. Good luck.
I”m not into those expensive systems you see in health stores. Are there certain foods to eat, things to drink, vitamins to take that will aid in flushing out toxins from my body that I can do at home? Also, I am taking a pro biotic, will it interfere with that?
You can get a green tea drink will detox your body.It will move your bowels anywhere from 3-6 hrs. after drinking it.The only problem is,it’s hard to find,so I order it from the Internet and the shipping is a little steep.The name of it is “3 BALLERINA green tea. The tea itself is very cheap(less than .00 for 30 tea bags). It is also a diet drink
Going to a hospital or a rehab clinic is not an option because of money and I refuse to stick her in a state program because she doesn’t want to be alone. The free health clinics will not help her until she is clean. I would like to know what I can give her to alleviate the symptoms of withdrawals? She has been addicted for 2 years.
I’m so sorry to hear of her pain. I’ve had a great number of friends who have done a home-detox and let me tell you: it takes WILLPOWER and strength above anything. First off, pray. This is an often overlooked tool no matter what or whom your higher power is. I know of a guy who prayed to his doorknob to help him open the door to his recovery… and it worked, although he is now working with NA for support.
Anyways, back to the issue at hand:
H2O/water flushes have been reported to help
cranberry juices
exercise
if she has access to a sauna to help “sweat” the chems out, these always help
sleep
try to have a friend nearby for the first week for the ever present DT’s … and really: these will make her demons escape in record numbers so make sure you’re truly supportive before you commit, because she will be rather irritable
deep breathing techniques to chill the nerves
walking
high cardiovascular activities to get the blood “pumping”
I hope these tips/suggestions help. I’ve helped some old friends off substances, so… feel ya. It’s hard to watch your friend hurt themselves, and even harder to watch em kill themselves… but if you’re really into helping her out?
give her a hug. No one gives these out anymore.
I would like to kick the meth use habit but I dont want to go to rehab cause I have doctor appointments and I work at the soup kitcen once a week. Please help with suggestions
If you really want to quit, talk to your doctor you have appointments with, s/he will help you. The only way to not have withdrawals is to slowly cut back… however, then you risk the chance of never stopping. The fastest and safest way is rehab. Maybe you could get in a program and still make your appointments and work.
Good luck and I truly hope you kick the habit.
I am at home. There is no starting over. I did without for 48 hours and then used once.About 18 hours ago, and I don’t feel too crappy.Just wondering what tomorrow will be like.
Yes. If you are dependant to an opiate and detoxing and take a dose during withdrawals you will just be back where you started after the dose wears off. It is basicallly torture to do that. The best thing you can do is just keep to it and not take anything. Even after 4-6 month of being clean if i would use for 1 day i would still get a minor withdrawal day. 2 days of use in a row and i would need 3 days of w/d.
What are the best methods to rid your body or parasites, and any other toxins in your organs, skin, etc. that won’t effect any meds your taking?
Go to a Doctor for medication. Home remedies usually do nothing, and a lot of times can actually make the problem worse. If you have a parasitic infection, you need medication to rid your body of the parasite. As far as toxins in your organs, I’m not sure what you mean. If you mean those toxins that build up over time due to just living, don’t worry about them. You will find many websites that try to sell detoxifying products but remember those websites are there to make money. Eat a healthy diet, exercise, take some normal multi-vitamins, and have annual checkups with the Doctor to help stay healthy.
If you have tried it was it a home body wrap or done in a salon. And what were your results, did it work?
According to my doctor, there is exactly one and only ONE way to lose weight on a long term basis, eat less and exercise more. The fat on your body is like a bank account. If you deposit more than you withdraw, you gain. If you withdraw more than you deposit, you lose. Time to start counting calories, eat from a well balanced menu (consult a nutritionist, or a program like weight watchers or Jenny Craig) and exercise more. Then all you have to do is adjust the calories you eat to be less than what you burn and over time, done on a daily basis, you will slowly but surely lose weight, to the tune of 3500 calories per pound of body fat. You do the math. At first, your weight may not change much (or may even slightly go UP!) even though your calorie balance is negative, because you are shifting fat into muscle and muscle is more dense than fat, so your measurements may change while your weight stays pretty much the same for a while, but then, as your muscle mass levels off, you will start losing weight at a faster rate. Things like what you say, wraps, dietary supplement pills and the like are all temporary… if they do anything at all, that is. It never ceases to amaze me at how many people want that silver bullet to drop ten or twenty pounds overnight without having to do any real work to accomplish the goal…
I know don’t tell me the obvious. I heard thc is stored in the fat cells and can stay there for over 2 weeks. I Only weigh 115 pounds. Do you know of any home remedies that I can try?
Buy a detox drink. Whats the big deal… do you just not have enought money?? Those thing work great!! And if they dont work you get your money back. Home remedies Dont EVER work trust me.
I have always heard of those detox programs, but never actually tried one myself. However, I’m NOT interested in going to a doctor to get my colon cleansed. I just want a detox I can do at home.
One of the most powerful diet pills on the market is the Acai Berry. It has amazing vitamins and anti-oxidents and is even considered a super food. It is so amazing that it has been featured on Oprah and 60 minutes. When used in conjunction with the proper diet and exercise, people have lost over 40lbs in a matter of weeks.
I know someone who has been addicted to pain meds for years and has no health insurance. How can he get clean safely?
there are no absolute answers to your question, it can be both safe and unsafe. however many “treatment facilities” actually don’t do much to detox you other than supportive care. If your detoxing narcotics at home you need to monitor blood pressure to be sure it doesn’t get too high.Mostly you would be physically very miserable, so treat the symptoms. take asprin or tylenol to help regulate body temp. as chills/’sweats are an issue. use immodium for diheria, hot tubs for muscle cramps. keep fluid intake up to combat dehydration. the only meds you absolutley have to have medical care for as the detox can be fatal is heroin and alcohol.Sometimes short of in patient treatment the best thing to do is come clean with one of the docs who wrote scripts, yes you ( by you I mean anyone) took them but they wrote them. they should at least offer you blood pressure meds , some of which do have a calming affect, chlonodine is common, anti dihhereals perhaps muscle relaxers or sleep aids. ( don’t use over the counter sleep aids they’ll just make it worse) If somenoe can keep the narcotics for him’her you can tapper them down to some degree. for example go from 20 Day to 10 for severaldays then 8 , 6, 4 for a week or more then 2 -0. thats hard too.ultram a non-narcotic pain med can really help, it fills some of the same brain receptors and can eleviate or eliminate lots of the suffering, eventually you’ll have to tapper those as well.get a good support group like N.A. and God help you. It can be done you only have to do it once.
