General
Is this medical treatment?
No. Detoxination® is education and wellness coaching. We don’t diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Always work with your licensed healthcare provider for medical care.
Can detoxification help with chronic health conditions?
Detoxination aims to reduce the body’s burden of lipophilic toxicants. Many clients report improvements in energy, brain fog, and resilience when overall toxic load is lowered. It is not a cure or a substitute for medical care but can complement a comprehensive wellness plan.
Can Detoxination help with weight management?
Weight change is not the program’s goal, but some people notice easier weight management as fat‑stored toxicants are mobilized and eliminated. Think of any weight shift as a by‑product of toxin reduction, not fat‑loss programming.
Do you work with clinics or first‑responder groups?
Yes. We support clinics, wellness centers, addiction rehab facilities, and organizations (including first‑responder groups) with program design, training, and implementation.
Can I do this alongside other therapies?
Often yes—with coordination. Share your care plan with your coach and healthcare provider so timing doesn’t conflict and recovery is protected.
Safety & Suitability
Is it safe for everyone?
No single protocol is right for everyone. Certain conditions, medications, pregnancy/breastfeeding, heat intolerance, or cardiovascular limitations may require modification or avoidance. Always clear participation with your healthcare provider.
What about medications or supplements I’m already taking?
Share your full list with your provider and/or your coach. Some medications or supplements may interact with niacin, heat exposure, or binders.
Is Detoxination appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No. We do not support protocol sessions during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Discuss any wellness plan with your obstetric or pediatric provider.
Are there age limits?
Programs are designed for adults. Any consideration for minors requires case‑by‑case review and direct involvement of a licensed pediatric provider. Children under age 4 are precluded from Detoxination.
I’ve heard niacin causes liver damage—is this true?
Liver concerns are mainly linked to high‑dose slow- or sustained‑release niacin. The protocol uses immediate‑release niacin with structured dosing and monitoring. Individuals with liver issues should consult their provider.
I have metal or breast implants. Can I do the protocol?
Generally yes; sauna heat and protocol elements are not known to harm implants. If you have implant‑related concerns or symptoms, consult your healthcare provider to individualize your plan.
I have MTHFR variants—can I do the protocol?
Many can, with attention to methylation balance. Immediate‑release niacin can consume methyl groups (“methyl sponge”); protocol lecithin use provides choline to support methylation. Methylated forms of B vitamins recommended.
Mechanism & Equipment
What do I need at home to participate?
Access to a suitable sauna, basic movement options (light cardio), hydration/electrolytes, the 30-day Detox Supply Kit (recommended), and the recommended binder(s). Your coach will provide specifics during onboarding.
What does the niacin flush feel like?
A warm, red, prickly sensation common with immediate‑release niacin. It’s temporary and typically subsides within an hour or two; dose and timing are personalized.
What kind of sauna should I use or buy?
Traditional convection, far infrared (FIR), full‑spectrum infrared, and certain portable saunas can work. We do not recommend steam rooms (sanitation and air saturation can hinder sweating). Consider heater type, wood, EMF/VOC safety, assembly, seating, warranty, and budget. FIR units often shorten session times and improve overall experience. Learn more about saunas for detox here.
Special Situations
I don’t tolerate heat—can I still participate?
Many start with shorter, cooler, or interval‑style sauna cycles, space sessions further apart, and emphasize hydration/electrolytes. Safety and comfort come first.
What if I don’t have a gallbladder?
Binder timing and fat/oil support may be adjusted to support bile flow and digestion. Coordinate with your provider and/or coach.
What if I have mold illness or suspect ongoing exposure?
Address remediation/relocaiton first. The protocol focuses on stored burden, including mycotoxins; begin once your environment is remediated and you are medically stable.
I’m unable to sweat—can I do the protocol?
True anhidrosis is rare. Often sweat limitations relate to clogged pores, micronutrient issues, or iodine deficiency. Your coach can suggest strategies to gently improve sweating; consult your provider to rule out medical causes.
I've been exposed to gadolinium from MR imaging—Can this program help?
Detoxination® focuses on lowering total body burden and supporting natural elimination—sweat, stool, and urine—using niacin-sauna to mobilize primarily fat-stored toxicants, plus hydration, electrolytes, nutrients, and GI binders (often clinoptilolite zeolite or activated charcoal).
While no studies have been published, client outcomes have been remarkable. Some clients use the program to support general resiliency and recovery alongside medical care, such as IV chelation.
What if I’m physically unable to exercise?
Gentle alternatives like stretching, light walking, chair yoga, breathwork, or mini‑rebounding can support circulation and lymph flow. Your plan can be tailored to your capacity.
Implementation & Aftercare
How long is the program?
Most standard programs run about 30 days, which typically reduces a meaningful portion of body burden (approximately one third). Allow at least 14 days of recovery before starting another cycle.
What dietary changes are recommended during detox?
Emphasize whole, nutrient‑dense foods; reduce processed foods, sugars, alcohol, and excess caffeine. Hydrate well. Some choose targeted supports (e.g., crucifers, garlic) per coach guidance.
What are common detox symptoms?
Temporary headaches, fatigue, body or flu‑like feelings, skin irritation, mood or cognitive changes may occur as toxins mobilize. Binders such as activated charcoal or clinoptilolite zeolite help intercept recirculation and ease reactions.
What follow‑up or maintenance is recommended after Detoxination?
Continue lifestyle supports, minimize new exposures, and consider binders (e.g., zeolite) for 1–2 weeks post‑program. Light sauna use is optional to assist ongoing elimination.
Who should not do your program?
Individuals with certain medical conditions (e.g., significant cardiovascular, renal, hepatic issues), the pregnant or nursing, or those with contraindicated medications should avoid or modify care under provider oversight. Download a detailed Contraindications and Prelusions document here.
Access, Training & Insurance
Where can I find a certified Detoxinician or licensed center?
Remote Detox Coaching is available for guided, at‑home participation. Expansion to additional locations is planned.
Can I train as a provider?
Yes. The Detoxinician™ Training program covers delivery, client safety, dosing, sauna procedures, binder timing, operations, and business resources.
Is Detoxination® covered by insurance?
Typically not covered yet. Veterans may see options through the VA Whole Health Program as it evolves; broader insurance recognition is in progress.
