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 6 The Four-Week Program The Herbal Detox Program™ provides three herbal products carefully designed to alkalise, detoxify and cleanse your tissues in two stages.

At the same time begin eliminating foods that burden your liver and digestion.* Directions - Adults only Energising ALKALISER™ Take 6 capsules in the morning, or 3 capsules morning and evening, half an hour before food.
