Why do I need detoxification or purification?
Two words…Toxic Overload. There are over 80,000 synthetic chemicals registered for use in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that hundreds of these chemicals are present in our bodies. Toxins are in the foods you eat, the water you drink and the air you breathe. Our bodies have several organs that help filter these toxins from your body, like the liver, lymph system, kidneys, lungs, intestines, blood and the skin. Unfortunately, our bodies become overloaded with toxins and cannot efficiently remove them and they build up over time.
If the toxins are not removed from your body properly you may experience ill effects, such as:
- Headaches
- Difficulty sleeping
- Fatigue
- Digestive problems
- Repeated colds and minor illnesses
- Weight gain
- Food cravings
- Decreased mental clarity
At Asheville Chiropractic and Wellness, we can tackle toxins in a variety of ways and get you on the path to healthy, clean living. Here is what is available in our office to assist your body in its clean up efforts:
- EB-PRO Ionic Detoxifier – Foot Bath
- Standard Process Purification Program

EB-PRO Ionic Detoxifier – Foot Bath
To determine a patient’s toxicity level, we have a symptom assessment form for you to complete in our office. The doctor will review the form and recommend a foot bath detoxification program just for you. A detoxifying footbath with the EB-PRO takes approximately 18-23 minutes depending on the condition of your initial health. A patient places their feet in a warm water foot bath, sits back in a private room and lets the groundbreaking technology of the EB-PRO system do the detoxification work for you. Based on the analysis of the water, Dr. Gualano can determine what systems are overloaded with toxins and recommend any further nutritional support or treatment you might need.
STANDARD PROCESS Purification Program
As a nation, we eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients. We do not eat enough fresh produce, whole grains and quality protein and we eat a tremendous amount of packaged, pre-made meals. We eat plenty, but as a nation we are starving our bodies of the nutrition we need to survive and be healthy.
The idea of whole food supplementation, a farm to bottle idea was first developed in 1929 by Dr. Royal Lee at Standard Process. Whole foods are grown on the farms of Standard Process in Iowa and used to create supplements that are more effective and easily processed by our bodies. Research suggests that single vitamins, taken out of the the food complex, may not be as effective in promoting health as eating the whole food complex.
The 21-day Standard Process Purification Program utilizes whole food supplements; whole, organic, and unprocessed food; and water to cleanse the body so that you can have more energy, maintain a healthy weight, and improve your digestion.
“Food always has been, and I suspect always will be, the ideal source of your vitamins, for they are surrounded by untold numbers of nutritional factors…” Dr. Royal Lee, Founder of Standard Process
A helpful patient guide is provided for the purification program that helps you creatively design the food plan that is right for you.
