Ready for a detox and cleanse?

Hacks and tricks for your next detox...

People come in asking about cleanses. When it comes to the liver I always use this picture (the whole scene really) as a good example of how the liver can work.
In this scene Lucy and Ethel get a job boxing chocolates... (think of them as the liver itself, sorting and packaging toxins and nutrients correctly to be either used, stored or excreted...) In the process they become overwhelmed by the amount of chocolates on the conveyor belt. This results in a hilarious thought process on Lucy and Ethel's part in that they put them in their pockets, down their shirts and in their mouths to keep them from going off the conveyor... (think of this as the liver, if overwhelmed, will store the toxins in fat, or keep it in circulation where it can irritate the other tissues. Now, keep in mind the liver is an amazing machine that sorts and coordinates the distribution of nutrients and toxins. It is an amazing detoxifying laboratory and makes many of the things our bodies need to keep healthy... It is also a store house for sugars and vitamins we need. The idea to take from this is that when your system is overloaded or that your 'liver' does not work as well it can cause havoc and build up toxins in fat tissue that CANNOT be released until there is enough time and such for the liver. Clean out your conveyor belt by doing a fast, cleanse the colon and small intestine... it will get everything out of the system for a time and let the liver catch up. Do a liver cleanse (empty those pockets Lucy!) and clean up. A full cleanse takes time, but intermittent breaks are a great way to give the whole system a rest and improve its effectiveness.
Message me for a weekend cleanse plan. It is easy, promise...

Dr. Sean’s Combo Cleanse…



I have been using cleanses, prescribing them, researching them and combining them for over 20 years with really good success.  Any cleanse you do is a good thing.  Some require an amazing amount of time, and in my experience that is only sometimes true.  A small cleanse is better than no cleanse at all.
Cleanse:  If you want, do any of the steps for three days, but stagger them, at least one day.  So Day 1, salad, Day 2 salad AND bowel cleanse, Day 3 Salad, bowel cleanse AND Gall bladder cleanse.  You can use the master cleanse throughout or do it at another time.
  1. Larger roughage salad, kale, celery, spinach, okra, anything with LOTS of fiber. This is something you have to CHEW a lot… it stimulates the whole digestive system to work and gets the parasympathetic nervous system a boost. This will help you relax actually… The next steps won’t… lol..  The idea is that with chewing you stimulate the entire digestive system to start up.  This gets the part of your nervous system (the parasympathetic) to work, secreting mucus throughout the system, creating enzymes, and special secretions for the food.  Add nuts too that way you really have to work out the jaw.   I buy a big family size variety pack from the store.  No reason to get all organic yet but that is an option.    Juicing, although nice.  Is not an option for this cleanse…

  1. OR: DO this broth and Veggie stew. Very rich in minerals.  Get one of every vegetable you can find that grows UNDER ground.  Beets, Carrots, Potato, Parsnips, Celery root, Rutabagas, etc… set in a large pot with LOTS of water, bring to boil and then simmer for up to an hour.  All the vegetables will likely be mash but it is the water that you want.  Eat those veggies with light seasoning for each of the days and drink the broth… all of it…


  1. Next day…. Bowel cleanse… (eat the salad or ‘stew’ as well today) Think of how many times a day you have a bowel movement.  Go for three times that much over a day or up to three to really clean out.  Think of how much food you eat each sitting, a handful?  Two? Three?   You should at least be releasing half that right?  There are five OPTIONS choose one or two or do them on separate days… If they are strong, be careful with the dosage, it just makes the whole bowel release and it can be a doozy if you are not near easy access to the restroom.  You have been warned… LOL  (I speak from experience)   Here they are listed from easiest to most aggressive.
    1. Senna tea: not as strong as the Cascara, you can use this frequently.  This one is good for kids too.
    2. Vitamin C… 2,000 mg, then follow with 250 to 500 mg each hour until you get results. This is a good one if you are just hanging out at home. It is not too dramatic but release can be pretty voluminous.
    3. Cascara sagrada tea: This is strong, be prepared.   It is a smooth muscle stimulant.  You will get lots of gurgling and maybe even some cramping.  That means it is working.  Be strong, and fast.
    4. Magnesium Citrate: Get it at the drug store, strong too, but dosed well.  Usually lemon flavored.  This is well measured, the Epsom salt listed below is variable and more ‘powerful’.
    5. Epsom Salts: drink in your least favorite juice…  You will know why later.  This is STRONG… read label on carton for more.  Can get results within half an hour…

  1. Gall Bladder cleanse, do a day of the bowel cleanse first… So this day, have the salad or stew, also do the bowel cleanse and THIS.
    1. Get ¼ cup olive oil…
    2. Get ¼ cup lemon juice. Real is best, but do what you can.
    3. Mix and drink it ½ hour before bed. Lie on RIGHT side.
    4. Although some have more release from the bowel, and sometimes foamy, or ‘different’ some have no change at all. You may feel tingling or gurgling in the gut especially when lying on the right side.  This is the gall bladder emptying.  This will help get the liver to move bile through and clean itself out.

  1. You can also do the Master Cleanse at the same time… I modify it… Here is how. I make a bunch a head of time and drink it over the next few days.  Can use it AS ‘the cleanse’ too if you do not take any food during that time.  Can use up to 20 days with food or 10 without…
    1. 16oz water
    2. One teaspoon chlorophyll (good for liver) (OPTIONAL)
    3. Ginger (good for liver and gut) Juice or grated and juiced… about ½ teaspoon. (OPTIONAL)
    4. One teaspoon maple syrup (grade B is best) Or can use Black strap molasses (it has more minerals)
    5. 1/10th teaspoon cayenne pepper.
    6. Juice of 1 lemon or two tablespoons of Apple cider vinegar.
Other things you can do is to get cupping done while and after your cleanse.  It helps to displace fluids like the lymph which can inadvertently hold on to toxins and not easily let them go.  Movement of the muscles as well as breathing is what moves the lymph fluid around so it can get back to the circulation and be processed.

Enzymes for inflammation

Enzymes for inflammation

Many people know and understand that enzymes are useful in weight loss as well as for digestion.  However, there is a little known super benefit of some enzymes.  They can help with inflammation including arthritis, sinusitis, and ...

First of all we have to understand what we are talking about.  Enzymes are actually proteins made by certain cell organs called organelles.  More specifically they are made by a little cell organ called the rough endoplasmic reticulum.  The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum merely means it appears rough under a microscope and that it is inside the plasma or gel that makes the cell matrix.  The 'reticulum' part means the same as a reticulated python, you know those big snakes?  They do not commonly coil but instead just fold up, reticulated.   Anyway, that little organelle (little organ) makes proteins for a living depending on what the nucleus of the cell determines based on the DNA of the cell.  It could be a hormone, a neurotransmitter, a lipid fat, a carbohydrate or even an enzyme.

Enzymes are proteins. Well, most of them are, the enzymes we are talking about here are.   There are at least 50,000 kinds of enzymes that make all your metabolic actions run smoothly.  In fact, you cannot live without enzymes.  Most are what are called catalysts.  Catalysts are things that speed up a reaction.  Think of gasoline as a catalyst to a fire.  It speeds ups a reaction that is already occurring. 

Most of us know enzymes are used to help digest food.  It is pretty well accepted that your enzymes for digestion start to decrease in quality and quantity after about age 35.  This is why some foods will bother you more after 35, especially foods eaten late.  I used to have an 'iron stomach' could eat a hearty meal at ten at night then sleep like a baby.  Now, if I eat heavy red meats after 7:00 p.m. I will be up half the night with some sort of gastric distress. 

Interesting fact.  Pepsi, derived in part from the word pepsin which is an enzyme your pancreas makes to help you digest proteins once was a digestive elixir.  Enzymes have been known for a long time to help digestion.  Pepsi has been on the market since 1898!  To help a condition called dyspepsia.  (basically indigestion, or not digesting well).

Basically, enzymes are proteins, they may help you in many chemical functions of your body including digestion.  Here I will show you how they can help with inflammation.

Now that we understand a little more about enzymes, we can now look at inflammation.
Inflammation is a natural process your body goes through constantly.  Whenever there is an injury to the body the infammatory process begins.  It is controlled by certain white blood cells that help you maintain a good chemical balance in your body. 

Inflammation on a bigger scale has four main signs we can see.  If you get poked by a thorn there is a reaction... actually there are four reactions going on.   In Latin we learned them as Rubor, Calor, Dolor and Edema.  In plain English that is Redness, Heat, Pain and Swelling, respectively.

When there is an injury like a poke from a thorn, white blood cells called Mast Cells, they make and release heparin which reduces blood clotting so things can get to where they need to and histamine which attracts other cells called Macrophages (big eaters) to help in the clean up of an injury and damage. 

Enzymes help this process along and help in the cleanup and repair of the tissues that were damaged.   Some enzymes help those macrophages eat faster or more so they can do more work, some help with repair and others can slow down other process we want to hold for a bit.  These are generally the proteolytic enzymes. 

I had been prescribing patients enzymes for digestion for years before I really looked into the inflammation process and how enzymes can help.  In the 1990's it was still kind of considered a bunch of hooey that nutritional supplements can do much.  There are still some that think that way, but now with more studies and experience (empirical evidence) we are starting to see more acceptance of what works and why.   I was speaking with some friends about their dog which was having problems with some food allergies and fur and skin troubles.  This dog was a big guy and was pretty old so he was showing some slowing down because of arthritis.  They had started giving him enzymes for digestion originally and then noticed that he was doing better on all fronts in just a couple weeks.  They were giving the enzymes as treats, because they were chew-able.  I too was giving my dogs some enzymes commonly for digestion mostly because they liked the smell and taste.  When ever I was taking them they begged me for them.   

Here is a list of some of the most useful enzymes for inflammation.
Protease (breaks up proteins), Papain (from Papaya, good for proteins), Bromelain (from pineapple, a big anti inflammation helper),  Amylase (for carbohydrates and sugars), Amylogucosidase ( ), Celluase (helps with cellulose, the cell walls of plants), Invertase (Changes sucrose to a more usable sugar for cells), Pectinase (helps break down pectin that is in apples and most fruits ), Lactinase (works on Lactose which is a sugar common in dairy ), and Lipase (for lipids and fats).  These main ones not only help you with basic digestion of what you eat, but also help with many processes that can help individual cells.   Some help with reducing the swelling (edema) or maybe increasing blood flow (remember heparin and histamine from the Mast cells?) 

Ok, so now we know more about enzymes and what they can do as well as what inflammation is.  Now what?  Well, I have worked with a company called Xymogen to produce a product just for inflammation AND digestion.  I call it 'Inflamma-Zyme'  It has all the enzymes I mentioned and more! 

I have been getting patients that have had surgeries on it, improving their healing times.  I have prescribed it for people that have chronic muscle tension and even fibromyalgia with really good success.  I don't push supplements at my office.  I do offer them and so far, almost everybody comes back and buys more.  Because it works for them. 

You don't have to buy my supplement, but I would appreciate it.  You could also simply clean up your diet and add foods that naturally have those enzymes or the building blocks of the enzymes. 

So think of these questions if you are considering starting enzymes-
Are you over 35 and have noticed digestion just 'aint' what it used to be?
Do you feel bloated? (That is a sign of inflammation)
Do you have arthritis?  Sinusitis? Fibromyalgia?
Even Ileitis, colitis, gastritis, hepatitis... (Notice the pattern?  Pretty much any word that ends in 'itis' is an inflammation process.
Do you have chronic muscle pains in the back or shoulders?  or pretty much anywhere.
Do you get dyspepsia?

Now, if you answered yes to at least two of those I think your are a great candidate, but don't think it is a panacea (a medicine that cures everything) because it is not.  The body and each condition is very unique and needs a real good look to really be understood.  Enzymes like these can help, but they may only be a small part of a much bigger set of supplements and even medicines you may need to get your body back to its best functioning.


If you want the enzymes that I have from my office you can come on in and pick up a bottle, or contact me via email and we can make sure you get a bottle or two my mail.  They are $23.00 + Shipping and handling which will depend on where you live.    You will get a bottle of 60 vegetarian caps from my very own label:  Dr. Sean's Formulas!
