Impact of Detoxification on the Immune System
It is interesting to point out that switching to a holistic healing approach is a worthless and expensive program to undertake IF the body remains badly contaminated. So the first step in using the body to heal the illness is to rid the body of harmful toxins. The various toxins that have accumulated in the body are released by the cells and are eliminated primarily through the skin, ears, eyes, respiratory and excretory system. Once the body has eliminated the toxin buildup, it is quite possible that the initial symptoms that were masked by the conventional drugs and treatments will return or even make the condition worse than before we started the detoxification. A dog that has started cortisone treatments will suppress the symptoms and long term will harm the immune system. Once the detoxification has removed the cortisone from the body the skin rash may return and usually does. The switch to a proper biologically appropriate raw food diet will eventually cause the rash to disappear and once balance is achieved the symptoms will disappear.
