These are questions posed by Dr. Linda Rector-Page, N.D., Ph.D., in Dr. Rector-Page's Healthy Healing: A Guide to Self-Healing for Everyone. Dr. Rector-Page, an internationally noted herbalist, founder of Crystal Star Herbal Nutrition, and author of several publications on natural lifestyle therapies, explains the benefits of detoxification. "A detox program aims to remove the cause of disease before it makes us ill. It's a time-honored way to keep immune response high, elimination regular, circulation sound, and stress under control, so your body can handle the toxicity it encounters."

What if it were in your power to take better control of your health, fend off disease and illness, and possibly live longer? Now ask yourself these questions, have you ever had colon hydrotherapy, an ionic foot bath, body detoxification, or a Swedish or lymphatic massage? As widely accepted forms of holistic health support, these services have shown great benefit for many chronic conditions, including stress relief, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, insomnia, infertility, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking cessation, depression, and more. For many individuals who do not suffer from chronic conditions, these procedures can help strengthen immune function to help combat the hazardous effects of environmental toxins and everyday living that can lead to disease and illness.

The American Wellness Foundation provides these qualitative services and other products intended to increase physical vitality and enhance core health and well being. The American Wellness Foundation does not offer miracle cures but rather alternatives to help encourage and promote a healthier lifestyle. Open and operating since 1994, the Foundation's owner, Cynthia Johnson, licensed massage therapist and colon hydrotherapist, and devoted staff value the "whole person" with a proactive approach and are committed to educating and empowering its diverse clientele in holistic health awareness and wellness management.
