About Detox Safely
DetoxSafely.org is dedicated to everyone everywhere who sincerely wants to be healthy, but often is confused by the dizzying array of products, claims, and information -- some of which is conflicting, exagerrated, or just plain decietful. Health care is big business, and ironically, the doctors whose purpose it is to keep you healthy, profit from your illness.
Now more than ever, we need to be responsible for our health care, and fortunately, more than ever, a vast wealth of information is available to the discriminating web surfer and researcher. DetoxSafely.org is a compilation of information culled from the wise elders of the field of nutrition, health and body detoxification, among them doctors Christopher Hobbs, Elson Haas, Jeffrey Bland, David Katz and nutritionist Joey Shulman.
