One of the biggest challenges we have in the 21st century is coping with the high amount of toxicity in our environment.

“An unfortunate reality of modern life is our high level of toxic exposure. Environmental pollution from industrial waste, build up of metabolic poisons due to nutritional deficiencies, antibiotic-induced abnormal bacteria in the gut all add to increased toxicity and decreased health.”
- Joseph E. Pizzorno Jr.,N.D. former president of Bastyr University and author of Total Wellness

Sluggish digestion and elimination, sallow, pasty skin, lowered immunity, increased cellular oxidative stress and premature aging, autoimmunity, chronic fatigue states are either caused by or greatly aggravated by internal toxicity. Fortunately, there is something we can do about the toxic loads on our systems. We can cleanse and detoxify our systems through the use of therapeutic diets and/or doctor-supervised fasting, using herbs and other natural supplements to encourage toxin release via the liver, kidney, lungs, skin and colon and employing colon hydrotherapy treatments in conjunction with customized detox protocols.

At NatureMedica Detox Spa and Naturopathic Clinic, the first step in assisting our patients’ challenges of auto-toxicity is to assess their individual needs with our Bio-Detox Evaluation. This evaluation includes:


• The Bio-Detox Questionnaire - targets which areas of detox needing to be addressed (colon, kidney, lymphatic, etc.)


• Urine Indican Testing - a measure of colon toxicity by measuring toxic breakdown products (intestinal toxic bio-amines) found in the urine.


• Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) Testing- a measure of body composition, muscle to fat ratio, level of hydration and cellular toxicity via electrical signals

Based on your results, a personalized Bio-Detox Program is customized for you. You can schedule a Bio-Detox Evaluation and Program * with Rebecca Aissaoui, our colon therapist, who consults with Dr. Hiell about each program.
