Introduction
We at BioBalance are happy to be alongside you on your
path to health and wellness. Our Herbal Detox Program™ is
designed to give you tools and guidelines to help you clean
out those buried toxins that prevent you from living life to the
fullest.
BioBalance brings you three distinct herbal detox blends in
one package, crafted to support deep cleansing of toxins and
elimination of pathogens. Our Program minimises unpleasant
symptoms of detox by supporting full and regular bowel
action.
All herbs in our unique New Zealand-made Herbal Detox
Program™ are certified organic or wild crafted, and include
powerful New Zealand native herbs. All are tested and
certified for quality. We take care to source only the best
herbs available for our products.
Why do we need to detoxify our tissues?
Healthy bodies are naturally detoxifying the waste products of
living, breathing and eating. The liver and other specialised
organs and glands identify, neutralise and expel toxins. They
become burdened by the impact of damaging toxins from
many sources, including:
•industrially processed food and drinks
•GMO ingredients in food
•chemical herbicide and pesticide residues
•polluted air and water sources
•medical and recreational drugs (incl. alcohol and tobacco)
•domestic and work environments
Burdened with toxic overload, our degraded internal
environment allows pathogens to thrive and disease to
develop.
Herbal Detox | Introduction
Our Two-Stage Herbal Detox Program™:
1. Prepares the body for the changes and extra burden of
detoxification.
2. Supports healthy deep level detoxification and expulsion of
toxins via elimination channels.
2
Toxicity in the Body
Cellular Toxicity – You Are What You Ingest
All disease comes from cells not functioning properly.
The two reasons for malfunctioning cells are poor
nutrition and cellular toxicity. The more waste builds up
in cells the less nutrient exchange is possible. As those
environmental stressors impact your body’s natural
resources, toxins such as heavy metals build up in the
tissues. Rubbish accumulates both inside the cell and
in the surrounding fluid which exchanges nutrients
for waste via the cell membrane. Energy is spent on a
cascade of toxic effects as oxidative stress damages cells
and the liver can no longer filter and purify the blood
adequately.
Symptoms of toxic overload begin to manifest such as:
Herbal Detox | Toxicity in the Body
•acidity
•nausea
•stomach upsets
•bowel irregularities
•bad breath
•flatulence, bloating
•weight gain
•irritability
•dizziness
•fatigue
•disturbed sleep
•lowered vitality
•loss of libido and zest
for life
Toxic
Overload
•sluggish feeling
•foggy thinking
•muscle stiffness
•skin outbreaks
•weak immune response
Your liver is a hard-working detoxifier and fat
metaboliser with 500-plus functions. A key factor in
reversing fatty liver disease caused by toxic burdens is
3 exchanging old dietary and lifestyle habits for healthier
long-term choices.
Preparing to Detox
It’s time to give your body a well-deserved detox of the
heavy metals, chemicals and pathogens lodged in fatty
tissues that are causing ill-health. Our Herbal Detox
Program™ supports the detoxifying organs in two vital
steps:
1. Drawing stored toxins from the tissues into the
bloodstream.
2. Removing them safely from the body so they are not
reabsorbed into the tissues.
Effects of detox
Detoxing can bring temporary physical discomfort.
Emotional issues may also surface as your tissues release
old burdens. Think holistically–it’s a physical cleanout
and more. It can be a valuable life-changing experience.
Possible effects during the first few days as blood
toxins increase, may include headache, memory lapse,
moodiness, nausea, rash, constipation, fatigue, dizziness
or palpitations.
Stage Two – Revitalising Liver DETOX™ supports
intensive deep cleansing of the tissues, with Herbal Colon
CLEANSE™ supporting full elimination of toxins from the
body.
Begin to reduce the ongoing toxic burden on your
body. Eliminate problem foods during the Herbal Detox
Program™ as a starting point for making lasting healthy
changes to your old dietary habits.
Herbal Detox | Preparing to Detox
How the Herbal Detox Program™ minimises these symptoms
Stage One – Energising ALKALISER™ supports the first
layer of cleansing for 2 weeks, preparing your body
for the deep-level detox of cellular and extra-cellular
toxins. This helps avoid a sudden rush of toxins into the
bloodstream.
4
Eating Guidelines
Stages One and Two of the Herbal Detox Program™ will
be more effective when you:
CHOOSE to Avoid eating or drinking foods that slow your
metabolism and burden your tissues. These can include:
•sugar,
•refined white bread or flour, gluten grains (wheat, rye,
barley, oats)
•dairy products (see exceptions next page)
•flavour enhancers and other food additives
•fast foods, highly processed/refined foods
•alcohol, drugs, caffeine, black tea
•hydrogenated vegetable oils and spreads
CHOOSE to Minimise:
•nightshade plants (potatoes, tomatoes, chilli, etc)
•red meat, factory-farmed poultry, factory-farmed salmon
or other seafood
•unfermented soy (including tofu), peanuts
•toxic pesticides, herbicides, hormones
Herbal Detox | Eating Guidelines
Eliminating common food allergen groups (gluten grains,
dairy, legumes, nightshades, etc) during this time creates
a great opportunity for you to notice any differences you
experience without them.
5
Preferably cook with water and bake or steam food. If
sautéing, it’s best to use virgin vegetable oils, preferably
organic. Coconut oil is the most heat-stable oil, up to
177°C, and contains healthy fats and nutrients. Olive
oil is another good option for cooking, but better
eaten unheated.
Eating Guidelines
Feel reassured that you will get the best results when you
choose the best quality food that is available and that you
can afford. Choose mostly organic, but remember: stress
is not on the menu.
MOSTLY Eat and Drink plenty of non-GMO, organically
grown and produced (whole)foods:
•a variety of fresh fruit vegetables for fibre, vitamins &
minerals (esp. spinach, kale, blueberries, cranberries for
antioxidants)
•all root vegetables (except potatoes), garlic & onions
•seaweeds (kelp, wakame) for trace minerals
•nuts (not peanuts) and seeds (chia, pumpkin)
•unpolluted wild-caught oily fish, extra virgin olive or
coconut oil
•goat or sheep feta, plain yoghurt and (grass-fed) butter (in
moderate amounts)
•water, lemon juice, herb teas, coconut water, non-caffeine
grain coffees (dandelion, chicory, burdock, carob)
Herbal Detox | Eating Guidelines
OTHER Food Options:
•non-gluten grains (rice, millet, buckwheat, quinoa,
amaranth), coconut or almond flour
•raw, unpasteurised or fermented foods for their high
enzyme and probiotic content
•organic or free range eggs and small servings of organic
poultry

The Four-Week Program
The Herbal Detox Program™ provides three herbal
products carefully designed to alkalise, detoxify and
cleanse your tissues in two stages. In Stage One you
gently prepare your body for the deep-level cleanse

process minimises the usual symptoms and discomfort of
an intensive detoxification process. For best results take
these herbal products at least half an hour before food.

time begin eliminating foods that burden your liver and
digestion.*

detoxification during this time.*

separate time of day to Herbal Colon Cleanse™?

if this works for you. Take them together, or separately, at
any time of the day that suits you best, or you can divide
the doses and spread them throughout the day. The most
important thing is to take them every day for two weeks,
and for best results take them on an empty stomach.
