The Alkaline Detox Protoco: A Science-Backed Approach to Reversing STDs, Herpes, Heart Disease, Cancer, Hypothyroidism, Diabetes, and Kidney Stones — With Step-by-Step Meal Plans, Healing Recipes, and Proven Strategies
About this audiobook
The most honest, evidence-based guide to the alkaline approach—written by a practitioner with fifty years of clinical experience.
Your body is a remarkable self-healing organism. Given the right conditions, it can repair damage, fight infection, and restore balance. Our job is not to do the healing for the body, but to remove the obstacles that prevent the body from healing itself.
The Alkaline Detox Protocol is the culmination of over fifty years of clinical practice. It is not a fad diet or a collection of miracle cures. It is a sensible, science-backed approach to supporting your body's natural healing systems through nutrition, hydration, stress management, and gentle movement.
