Dr. Don's Top Three Tools

One: Detoxify

Although I was trained as a traditional MD in what I will call "disease care,” these days, my focus has definitely changed to "health care.” In reality, your health is YOUR choice. Doctors are well trained to diagnose and treat disease. Too often, though, the cause of the problem is not addressed. Our “disease care” system is so effective at treating symptoms that much of the time simple, common sense factors that truly lead to treating and improving health are ignored.

Often, treating with pharmaceuticals can make the cause of the problem even worse— medications are just poisons with a desirable side effect. “Poisoning” yourself to health is not the best approach when effective alternatives exist.

What’s the answer to the “disease care” crisis? Dr. Don’s Top Three Tools: detoxify, alkalize and supplement.

Today let’s talk about the most important one, DETOXIFY. Anything that decreases the total toxic load from the food you eat, water you drink, air you breathe, and environmental pollutants you encounter every day is very beneficial. How do you do that?

Well, many toxins hide out in fatty tissue. So, one of the simplest ways to start detoxifying is to lose excess fat. Consider the largest organ of your body, your skin. It can contain an enormous amount of fat because fat cells can expand many times their normal size and work as storage depots for toxins. It takes an enormous amount of nutrients at the cellular level to help these fat cells break down and eliminate the fats and toxins they contain.

Yes, the total amount of fat in your body is determined by the amount of calories you eat and how many of those calories you burn through activity. However, high quality skin care products can definitely facilitate the process of toning and firming the skin and even help to decrease the inflammatory responses in the body. Healthier skin not only helps you to look younger, it can also help “clean up” your largest body organ. Avoiding junk foods, focusing on plant-based foods (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) and drinking plenty of water also are essential for achieving skin with a healthy glow.

A great place to start is with the Wrap Pack™. The It Works! Wrap™ works together with mini Defining Gel to tighten, tone, and firm in as little as 45 minutes; reduce the appearance of cellulite and varicose veins; and help you look younger with improved skin texture and tightness.

Besides using the Wrap Pack on the outside, nourish your body from the inside with the It’s Vital™ Complete Nutrition Pack. With vitamins, phytonutrients, antioxidants, over 74 trace minerals, and essential fatty acids, it can help support your skin’s regeneration, microcirculation, boost healthy cell growth, and help the body breakdown fat more efficiently. It’s Vital Complete Nutrition Pack has all of the nutrients necessary to maximize your Wrap Pack results and boost detoxification.
