Clinical Detoxification CECDC

Instructor: Paul Demeda CNP

This course is designed to help practitioners effectively use detoxification to support health and wellbeing. Participants will learn the key mechanisms of detoxification by body organs and tissues, as well as body requirements for safe and effective detoxification. This course will include examination of sources of toxicity; foods, supplements and procedures that support detoxification; and detoxification protocols currently used by health professionals. Course content will be supported with clinical evidence and published research. Participants will leave this course with comprehensive, useable course notes. Step-by-step protocols and evaluations for assessing toxicity as well as other issues relevant to detoxification will clearly be outlined for use in clinic. Paul updates the current course material with stronger and more relevant content every year to make it tighter and more practical.
