#1 Review of The Detox Book by Bruce Fife
While it was the last post I made in June, I feel compelled to mention it first as this was by far the most comprehensive detox source I was able to find. In spite of a few quibbles I had with the book, it's still a solid source for detox information. I recommend it to all detoxification newbies (and even experienced detox folks will probably find a lot of useful info here).
Plus, Dr. Fife sent me an email and I've added an update to the review about what he said!

#3 Natural Heavy Metal Detox With Spirulina and Chlorella
Who knew natural algae had so many benefits? These mean green machines have been shown to help purge toxic metals from our bodies.
#4 Cookware: What is Safe and What is Toxic
This one got some attention. While I hate the idea of replacing my cookware, writing this post helped me renew my goal to find a way to afford some new pots and pans. My old gear is definitely toxic! (It also renewed my love for my wonderful cast iron frying pan!)

Dr. Teplitsky does it again with these great guest posts on how our bodies become toxic and what we can do about it.

Jumping jitterbugs! (That's your clue for the ultimate detox exercise I talk about in this post.)
#9 In Bad Taste: Why Man-Made Flavors are Bad for Your Health
Are "natural" flavors really natural? I think you can guess the answer to that...
#10 Learn How to Detox With a Coconut Oil Cleanse
Coconut oil helped saturated fat make its comeback, it's great for the thyroid and can boost immunity. No surprise that it's great for detoxing too!
Even in a month's time, I didn't come close to covering all topics I wanted to about detoxification. So you can look forward to many more posts on detox in the future here at The Nourished Life. It's a subject I will certainly continue to study and hopefully we can find some more answers!
This post is part of Pennywise Platter Thursday at The Nourishing Gourmet and Fight Back Friday at Food Renegade.
