As a root cause practitioner, I dig deep to uncover underlying imbalances in the body. Finding and addressing imbalances is a complex process that often requires numerous phases. Optimizing drainage pathways is a great place to start when addressing any type of imbalance in the body especially if you’ve been dealing with chronic symptoms. When I talk about drainage and detox, my clients are frequently perplexed. They are familiar with the term “detox,” though they may not fully comprehend what it implies, but they are generally unfamiliar with the term “drainage.”
Drainage is the first and most crucial step in any detoxification process. Drainage must come first, regardless of what you’re attempting to get rid of in your body: candida, bacteria, parasites, mold, heavy metals, pesticides, viruses, retroviruses, and so on. When done correctly, drainage sets you up for success and a pleasant detoxification experience.
Have you ever heard someone say, “I’ve been feeling worse since I started detoxing, therefore it must be working, right?”
WRONG! There’s a delicate balance between the toxins you’re releasing from your cells and tissues and how quickly your body can eliminate them. When someone starts to feel worse during detox, it’s because the toxins that have been released from tissues and cells have started to recirculate in their bodies. This indicates a problem with drainage.
Many people will tell you that you don’t need to detox. That it is something your liver takes care of for you. And, while I agree that the liver is our primary detox organ, it is naive to believe that our livers and other organs are operating at peak performance when we are constantly inundated with toxic chemicals.
So, what exactly is drainage?
The term “drainage” refers to the pathways in your body that are utilized to get rid of toxins. These include the colon, kidneys, liver, bile ducts, lungs, the lymphatic system, the glymphatic system (the lymphatic system of the brain), and skin. The purpose of drainage is to optimize these existing pathways. The colon is the most crucial of them all because if it backs up (constipation), everything upstream backs up as well. This signifies that toxins are building up in your organs, tissues, and cells. Hence, you should begin your drainage by supporting your colon first.
I use a combination of supplements when creating drainage protocols for my clients that target the colon, such as:
- Magnesium Citrate works as a laxative.
- Vitamin C serves as a laxative and is a powerful antioxidant.
- Prokinetics, such as Bowel Mover or MotilPro, promote optimal peristalsis, or colon contractions.
- A good probiotic ensures that you maintain a healthy microbial balance which in turn supports healthy bowels.
- Enemas support colon cleansing. These could be water or coffee enemas.
- CT-Minerals optimizes all drainage pathways. This is a must for me!
It’s critical to stay hydrated and active when targeting the colon to encourage regular bowel movement. Another helpful tool is the use of Castor oil packs which decrease symptoms of constipation.
In my next post, I will go over what drainage supplements look like, how many times you should poop for proper detox, and how to support your liver before moving on to the next phase of detox.
If you are feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, I recommend checking out Phase 1 of Cellcore’s Comprehensive Protocol or Step 1 of Cellcore’s Foundational Protocol. Both Phase 1 and Step 1 support whole-body homeostasis and drainage. Phase 1, however, is a more comprehensive protocol and higher investment. Because Cellcore is a practitioner-only brand, you’ll need a Practitioner Patient Direct Code to purchase products and access detox protocols. Sign up for my newsletter here, and you will receive a Welcome email with the Practitioner Patient Direct Code. This is also a fantastic way to keep up with my most recent blog posts, as I’ll be sharing more about my own and my clients’ life-changing experiences with drainage and detox protocols.
