“21-Day Purification and Weight
Management Workshop”
-Dr. Ryan E. Fox
WHY CHIROPRACTIC AND DETOX?
• Chiropractic focuses on removing interference
from the nervous system
(This is not limited to the spine!)
• The nervous system controls all bodily functions
(IE-breathing, heart rate, blood flow, tissue repair, waste
removal, urination/elimination, etc.)
• Nerve interference can be caused by a PHYSICAL,
CHEMICAL, or EMOTIONAL source
LET’S TAKE A LOOK…

(It’s ALL Connected)
•PHYSICAL
•CHEMICAL
•EMOTIONAL
Chiropractors are the only Professionals
trained to treat Spinal Subluxations
A Healthy Nervous System allows the
body to Heal itself by:
• Removing CHEMICAL, STRUCTURAL, AND
EMOTIONAL STRESSORS
As a Chiropractor, I treat CHEMICAL AND STRUCTURAL
stressors to heal the nervous system
Today we will focus on CHEMICAL stressors which lead
to dis-ease and how if affects your ability to heal.
21-Day Purification Program
Session 2
“Body Impedance Analysis”
(RJL Systems)
During Session 2 you will receive your BIA results that
were tested at Session 1.
Your results are kept private and confidential.
Please note that this analysis is not intended to
diagnose or prevent disease and is only used as a
screening device according to the FDA.
Body Impedance Analysis-What do all
the numbers mean?
• NOTE: The 21 Day Purification is designed to increase fat burning, promote regular
bowel function, improve normal body chemistry, and provide elimination of toxic
accumulation of heavy metals, cholesterol, hormones, inflammatory agents, and
free-radical damage.
-All of these factors, to just name a few, affect the outcome of your impedance
test results, and indicate a deviation from normal/common Impedance results
derived from a “healthy” population
• Body Impedance Analysis has been incorporated into the 21 day Purification to
demonstrate quantitative results of improvements within the normal physiology of
the body, indicate areas of biochemical imbalance, and act as a biological marker (a
benchmark) for health improvements
• The 21-Day Purification is one of many ways to improve your results
BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS
• Fortunately, we now have a better device for weighing ourselves than a
scale and a better way to determine what we should weigh than ideal
body weight charts. It is the BIA, Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, a
machine that "weighs" each of the different kinds of tissue in your body. It
measures the amount of muscle and other lean tissue, like your organs,
and the amount of fat and water in your body.
It tells you if the water you have is in the right place. It also measures the
phase angle, which can be described as the "strength" of your cells. Body
Impedance is one of the best predictors of survival in HIV disease. It also
has practical applications to evaluate “healthy” individuals.
• The results are divided into two main categories, Fluid Assessment and
Nutrition Assessment.
•
BIA RESULTS
•
Fluid Assessment Status indicates whether you are dehydrated (not enough water),
euhydrated (the right amount of water), or edemic (too much water in the wrong places).
Total Body Water is simply a measurement of all the water in your body.
Intracellular Water is the water inside the cells of your lean tissue, and Extracellular Water is
the water found outside your cells and your blood plasma. After air, water is the most
important nutrient we ingest.
•
Nutrition Assessment also: “Body Cell Mass” is the most active metabolic tissue in our
bodies. I call it the fire-breathing tissue. This is the tissue that does the work in our bodies. It
uses oxygen to burn glucose. It is the home of the intracellular water. It is loaded with
potassium. It is our own internal combustion engine.
BCM, or Intracellular tissue, is the tissue that helps to keep you healthy. It is the tissue you
want to build up when you lift weights and do other kinds of resistance exercise. It makes
walking upstairs easier and makes you happy when you look in the mirror. Organs such as
your heart, liver, and GI tract are another section of BCM.
Extracellular Mass or Tissue (tissue outside the cell) is the home of extracellular water and
the place where you find sodium, chlorides, and calcium. It is made up of the skeleton,
tendons, ligaments, plasma, and other tissues. Its primary purpose is transport and support.
Fat-Free Mass is the sum of the body cell mass and the extracellular tissue. Fat Mass is all
the fat in the body. Contrary to what most people believe fat contains very little water. (think
of oil and water…)

• The second and subsequent BIA tests are even
more important than the first since changes in the
report printed on paper seem to make a bigger
impression than a doctor’s advice alone…seeing is
believing.
The second test also opens up new areas of concern
and show how your efforts--or lack of efforts on the
21-Day Purification--make a big difference.
• The BIA results are calculated from two separate
electrical readings taken from the skin,
“Reactance and Resistance”
• When a reactance reaches zero, the cell has died
because it is no longer able to maintain and
electrical gradient in its cell wall, which is a
phospho-lipid bilayer …This is true in any living
substance which carries an alternating current.
Death of the cell is called apoptosis, or
programmed “cell-death”.
The BIA instrument is actually releasing a current into your body’s cells and
“charging” the cell, which tests the bodies ability to hold energy (capacitance).
Normal values for reactance are calculated on your BIA Report based on Age and
Sex.
As an example, a battery acts like a capacitor. In relation to our bodies, we
want our capacitance to go UP, which is the measurement of reactance.
Body fat, total body water and extracellular water offer ONLY
resistance to electrical current, while cell membranes ONLY
offer capacitive reactance.
Since fat tissue cells ARE NOT SURROUNDED BY CELL MEMBRANES,
reactance is not affected by the quantity of body fat.
Phospho-lipid Bilayer
Intacellular Water (ICW) vs Extracellular Water (ECW)
Water Loving and Water Hating Keeps this structure well balanced. (hydrophobic/hydrophilic)
Phospho-lipid Bilayer
A layer of fat (saturated fat!) sandwiched between two
layers of protein create this nutrient highway.
•
By definition, a capacitor consists of two or more conducting plates separated from one
another by an insulating, or non-conductive material known as a dielectric. Capacitors will
store a charge of electrons for a period of time depending on the resistance of the dielectric.
This di-electric is your cell wall, composed of a phospolipid bilayer.
•
The cell has an electrical analogy to a capacitor, and the aqueous (water) space around the
cell to a resistor
•
In the healthy living body, the cell membrane consists of a layer of non-conductive lipid
material sandwiched between two layers of conductive protein molecules. The structure of
cell membranes makes them capacitive reactive elements which behave as capacitors when
exposed to an alternating current. Biologically, the cell membrane functions as a selectively
permeable barrier separating the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. It
protects the interior of the cell while allowing passage of some materials to which it is
permeable. The cell membrane maintains a fluid osmotic pressure and ion concentration
gradient between the intracellular and extracellular compartments. This gradient creates an
electrical potential difference across the membrane which is essential to cell survival.
A Useful Tool- Hair Mineral Analysis and a word about Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
PLEASE REFER TO YOUR HANDOUT (PAGE 5)
Resistance
• When resistance is high, conductance is low…It is
preferable for the conductance of your body to be as
high as possible, which means that resistance should
be low. Naturally, tissues and fat are resistant to
conduction, yet leaner tissue is more conductive than
fat tissue.
Due to the natural healing ability of your nervous
system, it is ideal for your tissue resistance to lower
in order to allow effective nerve conduction.
• Body Cell Mass (BCM)• In AIDS patients, researchers found that these patients had a better chance of
survival when their BCM was higher. IF they lost more than 46% of their BCM, their
point of death was very near. In essence, this means that lean muscle tissue needs
to be increased, through exercise and diet, otherwise opportunistic infections have
a better chance of altering your health. The more the lean muscle mass, then
healthier a person tends to be…
• You can remain at an ideal body weight, yet have had your body composition
change for the better or worse. I.E. Lose lean muscle tissue and gain fat….this is
what generally happens in AIDS patients, even though they may maintain a specific
weight. We don’t want to exchange muscle for fat, we want to exchange fat for
muscle.
On the 21-Day Purification, it is not uncommon for a person to remain the same
weight, yet lose several pants sizes because of the re-distribution of lean tissue, fat,
and water.
Phase Angle
(Turn to PAGE 4)
• This measurement was originally intended to
identify “overall” body health. Recently, the
measurement was removed from impedance
literature. It is likely that the FDA is now
restricting their ability to publish this
parameter.

“Methods of
Detoxification”
Standard Process
Purification
~Week 3~
Your Nutritional Arsenal
• Purpose: (the three R’s)
REMOVE RESTORE RE-INOCULATE
1st Priorities:
Decrease Inflammation
Increase Peristalsis/Elimination
Heal the Gut/Intestinal Wall
Your Nutritional Arsenal
For Starters:
Remove afflicting foods, poor food combinations
-Avoid mixing proteins and starches at the same time (I.E.-avoid
typical American Diet…Chicken/Rice, Meat/Potatoes ) These
combinations to not digest well due to dilution of stomach acids.
*Acidify the bowel to prevent putrefaction of proteins:
-Betaine Hydrochloride 1-4 capsules per meal or,
-Zypan (Standard Process) 1-4 tablets per meal
(dosage dependent upon stomach comfort, reduce if burning feeling occurs)
Your Nutritional Arsenal
• Restore Lost Nutritive Factors: (Basic Building Blocks)
Calcium-Magnesium (2:1 ratio)
-Calcium Lactate, and Magnesium Lactate (take additional for constipation)
Sodium/Potassium
Zinc (no oxide formulations)
-Zinc Liver Chelate
B-Complex
-Cataplex B, or Cataplex G (for High Blood Pressure)
Trace Minerals
-All Organic Trace Minerals
Your Nutritional Arsenal
Re-Inoculate healthy bacteria
*Promote healthy gut flora, reduce gas, improve calcium absorption:
-Lactic Acid Yeast- 1 wafer before each meal
-Zymex- 3 capsules- 3X/Day (use lactic acid yeast if lactose intolerant)
-mild acidifier of the bowel, Breaks down un-digested carbohydrates
calcium from inflamed bowel walls, creates unfavorable
environment for “bad” bacteria
(Note:Candida thrives on sugar, Lactic Acid Yeast converts the sugar)
-Okra Pepsin E3- 2-3 capsules per meal
-removes mucous from the bowel wall to allow passage of nutrients
across bowel wall
• -Yogurt is a good source of bacteria, care must be taken to avoid ones with large
amounts of sugar
Coffee Enema
-The “Great Detoxifier”
Utilized by many alternative doctors to aid cancer patients in their recovery. Promoted by
William Donald Kelly, “One Answer to Cancer” as a method to detoxify the liver and Gallbladder.
Used for thousands of years as a bowel detoxifier.
Why Coffee Enema Cleansing Works
The effects of a coffee enema are different than a saline enema. The most important difference between a
saline enema and a coffee enema is the presence of caffeine in the coffee. Caffeine, theophylline and
theobromine, combine to stimulate the relaxation of smooth muscles causing dilatation of blood vessels and
bile ducts. The effects of having a coffee enema are not the same as drinking coffee. The veins of the anus
are very close to the surface of the tissue. The caffeine is therefore absorbed more quickly (and in higher
concentration) than it is in when coffee is drunk.
Benefits of Enemas and Colonics with Coffee
Enemas and Colonics have been used for hundreds of years, and are generally regarded as safe. Additionally,
coffee cleansing enemas have a chemical makeup that is stimulative. The enzymes in coffee, known as
palmitates, help the liver carry away the toxins in bile acid. The coffee is absorbed into the hemorrhoidal
vein, then taken up to the liver by the portal vein. With the bile ducts dilated, bile carries toxins away to the
gastro-intestinal tract. Simultaneously, peristaltic activity is encouraged because of the flooding of the lower
colon. Thus, when the colon is evacuated, the toxins and bile are carried out of the body.
Chelation.
The word “Chelation” implies the ability to bind “heavy metals”. The heavy metals of
greatest toxicity are: Mercury, Cadmium, Aluminum, Arsenic, and Lead. Research is
has been heavily conducted over the last several years to determine the
effectiveness of chelation for heart disease and the treatment of autistic children.
Chelation can be accomplished through several sources, most commonly Vitamin C,
Cilantro, Bentonite Clay, and Bile. Another compound, Alpha Lipoic Acid is also a
very favorable chelating agent because it is able to cross the blood-brain barrier,
unlike many other chelators.
A Vitamin C source, particularly derived from the Adrenal Gland appears to be the best
Vitamin C Complex available. Standard Process formulates this in their supplement
DRENAMIN. This supplement is ideal for improving stress.
Doctors also have the ability to provide intravenous chelation using DMPS, DMSA, and
EDTA. These forms are generally considered to be harsh forms of chelation, so we
will discuss milder methods. Side affects typically occur due to hypo-calcemia, Aka
loss of calcium, resulting in cardiac arrest.
(Dry) Skin Brushing
• Your skin is the largest organ of
detoxification
Skin Brushing:
-Stimulates peripheral blood vessels
-Removes dead skin cells which block your pores
-Pushes lymph fluid towards your liver
Perform before you shower or soak in Epsom Salts or Bentonite Clay.
Always brush along your limbs towards your body or chest. This is the
direction lymph naturally travels. Brush Lightly. Soak. Pat-dry.
Fasting. To Juice or Not to Juice.
Juicing can be a very helpful or hurtful process, if it is not done properly. Frequently, individuals
juice fruit in greater quantities than vegetables, due to taste, which can cause significant blood
sugar imbalances. The reason this typically occurs is the Loss of fiber content once the fruit is
juiced. This fiber helps balance the effects of sugar on your blood stream. Removing the fiber
and pulp WILL cause sugar sensitivity and the results of the juicing fast will NOT last. The results
usually will remain only temporarily.
Vegetable Juicing, on the other hand, can be very rewarding. A well-made juicer can juice the
entire vegetable, including the pulp, leaving you with all of the natural components of the food.
A good source of information on Juicing may be found at www.mercola.com Juicing Product
reviews are also available at this reliable source produced by Dr. Mercola.
Water Fasting only is not a recommended procedure due to its stress on the liver, gallbladder, and
kidneys…Once again, lasting results will not remain due to the stress placed on the body’s sympathetic
nervous system. There are some GREAT benefits this can offer to extremely sick people, yet it is very difficult
to complete properly in a non-stressful environment & should be physician guided.
Saunas are one of the most cost-effective means of detoxifying the body,
increasing metabolism, and purging toxins particularly through the
skin. One must take great caution to replenish water-soluble
minerals such as sodium and potassium when using Saunas regularly.
Potassium depletes very quickly in warm environments. If using a
sauna regularly, both of these nutrients should be supplemented.
Typical temperatures range from 165-180 degrees. When first
starting to use a sauna, intervals should last only 5 minutes, and no
longer than 20 minutes total. Once a person is accustomed to sauna
use, maximum time should be 10 minutes. Once again, no longer
than 20 minutes total. Remember, decreasing inflammation is one
of our goals.
Steam Rooms are also beneficial as long as they are maintained and
cleaned well. I would only use them if YOU maintain and clean them
well, using only cleaners derived from orange peel, etc. The risk of
breathing air-borne bacteria and chemical cleaners/bleaches is not
worth the risk. Some of the worst diseases, such as Legionnaire’s
disease, are carried by water particles in environmental conditions
that are perfect for bacterial growth. Typically moist and cool.
Steam rooms are kept at 100-105 degrees, which is not hot enough
to create unfavorable conditions for bacterial growth.
Other concerns regard the vaporization of chlorinated and fluorinated
chemicals in the air. Chemicals absorb exceptionally fast in the nasal
passages and mouth. Think about this: “When you smell something,
it is just as if you have direct contact with that chemical”
Sauna vs.
Steam
Infra-red Heat Sauna
•
•
•
•
Infrared lamp saunas use incandescent infrared heat lamps for heating. They emit mainly
near infrared, some middle infrared and perhaps a tiny amount of far infrared energy.
They also emit a small amount of red, orange and yellow visible light.
This type also
provides warming and stimulating color therapy. Red, orange and yellow assist the
eliminative organs.
While traditional saunas require high temperatures for copious sweating, infrared
penetrates the skin and heats from the inside as well as on the skin. This means the air
temperature in the sauna can remain cooler, yet one sweats plenty at this lower, more
comfortable temperature.
The infrared lamp sauna penetrates deepest, we believe, and we are waiting for
formal studies to confirm or disprove this hypothesis. They may penetrate up to three
inches or so, so the air temperature can stay coolest of all the types of saunas with the
same effectiveness. Preheating is usually not necessary, saving time and electricity. While
some people like the intense heat of the traditional sauna, many find it difficult to tolerate,
especially those when feeling ill.
Infrared is an antioxidant nutrient, activates the cells, supports metabolic processes
and decouples toxins from water molecules. Near infrared is helpful for wound healing
and cellular regeneration as well.

In reference to:
- Blood sugar, sex, and anti-inflammatory
hormones

Baths.
Epsom Salt
-Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate…it can be used
internally to aid constipation and relax smooth muscle.
Alternatively, Epsom salt is very inexpensive and a great
soaking aid. The Magnesium draws fluid to the skin
and helps to remove dead skin and hydrate the dermis.
Magnesium also relaxes the capillaries of the skin and
brings increased circulation to the tissue. Magnesium
is recognized in more than 5000 chemical reactions in
the body, making it a “limiting-reagent” to the healing
of your body.
Baths.
Bentonite Clay (Calcium Montmorillonite)
Chemical property: ADSORPTION, BINDING
Bentonite is very effective as an adsorber of heavy metals, organic/inorganic material,
and also has the ability to draw toxic material out of plastics, metals, and your
tissues.
It is a relatively inert material, which primarily draws chemicals toward it, and nonreactive with negatively charged particles. This makes bentonite a good detoxifier
since it will not absorb across the bowel wall, which is also negatively charged. In
this manner, the bowel will retain the toxic material rather than letting it re-absorb
into the blood stream
For use in a clay bath, approximately one cup of the material will effectively draw
blood to the surface of your skin, improve elimination through the pores, and
increase heavy metal release.
With the correct consistency of water added, bentonite may be used as a facial mask.
This material is the core ingredient in most expensive mud-masks.
