Oh No—Not Another Detox!

By now, we’ve all heard of or even performed liver, kidney, and/or gallbladder detox on ourselves, but there’s another you probably haven’t heard of…at least, not in this fashion.

I recently acquired a copy of the book The Brain Gate (J. Robert Hatherill, 2003), and it contains information on how to detox your brain from all the chemicals and residue that managed to cross the blood-brain barrier and clog up your mental workings.

Fortunately, this detox isn’t nearly as involved as the others—you don’t need any special equipment, special foods or supplements, and no fasting is involved. All that’s required is a healthy diet with complex carbs, fruits, and veggies in it, as well as avoidance of a few harmful substances: aluminum, lead, mercury, food additives and preservatives, junk foods, artificial sweeteners, and so on. Most of this information has been around for awhile, but never closely associated with a “brain detox” or even brain health.

It would appear that whatever’s good for the body is also good for the brain. If you’re interested in more specific information about the detox, helpful supplements, or staving off currently-incurable brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, please get a copy of this book.
