Step 3 (borrowed from gapsdiet.com)

3.  DETOXIFICATION AND LIFE-STYLE CHANGES
The first and most important thing is to remove the main source of toxicity, which means cleaning up and healing the gut. 

Since this alone will not rid the body of years worth of toxic build up in the system, juicing is recommended.  Juicing provides very concentrated fruit and vegetable nutrients to the body in an easily absorbed form. 

Black Elderberry is also beneficial and has strong immune-stimulating properties and it is one of the most powerful anti-viral remedies known to man.

        The General Toxic Load
        An important part of the treatment is reduction
       of the general toxic load.  Keep your house
       chemical free and avoid bringing anything into
       the home which will let off chemicals such
       as new carpet, furniture, and paints.  Also
       remember that your skin absorbs just about
       everything it comes in contact with so be
       very cautious with the products you put on
       your skin. 

       Household plants are great at reducing the
       toxic air in our houses.  They consume the
       toxic gases and replace them with oxygen and
       other beneficial substances.


This is a brief summary of important points addressed in Gut and Psychology Syndrome.  It is very important to read the sections devoted to these areas in the book for a clear understanding of each.  Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride also provides additional information on her website www.gaps.me.
