Research suggests that food alone support this highly complex process. After reading several research studies on the process of detoxification the elimination diet would be my first option as a therapeutic tool to achieve detoxification. The use of this diet allows the patient to remove the most common allergenic foods and drinks from the diet for a period of 4 weeks and gradually adding back the eliminated foods to observe their effects in the body.
