Detoxification is the removal of toxic substances from the body. Sickness and chronic disease are usually an indicator that the body is toxic and needs to be cleanses internally and externally. Fasting with whole plant food consisting of fresh fruit and vegetable juices, in my opinion, is the safest and best way to detox the body, as the body is cleansing and restoring at the same time as removing toxins. In addition to fresh juices, herbs can also aid the body in this detox. The detox program can be 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 days or longer and uses fresh fruit, vegetable and herb juices to remove toxins and inflammation from the body. You can also choose to do the REFRESSH Yourself 30-Day Program on your own and receive the information booklet which includes juice and food recipes and the info session notes and/or videos. See the 30 Day Program for more information on juice fasting and other information. If you are NOT in Bermuda, you can do any of the programs at any time. You can do the 30 day program with the group but will not be able to participate in the cooking classes and the RBTI testing. There is a different cost for this experience.
