Detox Solutions, by Progressive Medical Center

What's in your water?


During an investigative report, in 2008, Fox News confirmed that every water municipality all of the 40 municipal water systems they checked had residue of numerous medications in water.  This news is very alarming because there are so many toxic medications used. Additionally, it confirms the importance of drinking and bathing in clean filtered water and choosing an effective cellular detoxification program.

It's a Toxic World

Everyday we eat, breath, and absorb toxins from the world in which we exist. Even when we make the wise decisions to eat well and exercise regularly, the fact of the matter is: we live in a toxic world. In fact, more than six billion pounds of environmental and chemical compounds were added to the air, soil, and water in the year 2000 (the last year for which the data is available).


Over time, poisonous toxins take a toll on our energy level, metabolism, immune system and mod, ultimately compromising our quality of life and leading to disease. Many of us are sick and don’t even realize it. Why? Because the process can be a slow progression and we just accept the way we feel as normal.

The truth is that feeling tired, overweight, and sick is not normal. You’re body wants to heal itself but to do so, the negative elements or toxins that inhibit its ability to restore balance must be removed. This is where Detox Solutions by Progressive can help.


What are Toxins?

The simple definition of a TOXIN is any substance that is an irritant to your body. Toxins are heavy metals, pesticides, chemicals used in cleaners, cosmetics, paints, plastics, food additives, solvents (such as cleaning materials, formaldehyde, toluene, benzene), and gut derived micro toxins (such as fungus, parasites, Candida).

Detox Solutions by Progressive, has the answer: Detox You Can Feel!

Just as with virtually every area of healing, Progressive Medical Center believes that optimal detoxification requires an integrative approach that utilizes several internal and externally targeted elements of treatment that ensure the best results possible.


The physicians and detoxification specialists at Progressive Medical Center employ science based, comprehensive testing methods to accurately identify each patient’s levels and specific types of toxicity and develop a custom tailored Detox Solutions Program for their needs. While every patient’s personalized plan will vary, we’ve found that three methods of detoxification tend to be the most effective.

Infrared Detox Sauna

Similar to traditional saunas, our Infrared Detox Sauna uses heat to prompt cleansing through the body’s sweat but this system takes cleansing to the next level, with far-infrared heat (FIR), which surpasses the detoxifying effects of traditional saunas because the far-infrared penetrates nearly two inches below the skin’s surface, warming the cells and creating a type of “micro-friction” that releases toxins, which are carried to the skin’s surface through sweat. Once the toxins have exited the body, an environmentally-safe ozone supply sterilizes and destroys any harmful organisms on the skin surface. In addition, the saunas boast magnet therapy and a FIR heating pad for focused treatment of pain.


Therapeutic Benefits:

  • Burns approximately 600 calories in thirty minutes
  • Reduces pain
  • Muscle relaxation
  • Improves sleep
  • Helps relieve menstrual cramps
  • Reduces body fat and cellulite
  • Boosts energy and mental altertness
  • Speeds healing of soft tissue damage
  • Helps correct skin problems
  • Increases metabolism
  • Reduces stress
  • Destroys germs, bacteria, and viruses

Private shower rooms are conveniently located across from the saunas and patients are advised to bathe thoroughly after each session to wash away the remnants of any toxins once and for all.


Dual Ionic Detox Foot Spa:

This detox system may feel like a spa treatment, the Dual Ionic Detox Foot Spa actively works to cleanse the body’s internal systems by running positive and negative ions from an ion generator (array) through your body.


All disorders and diseases have vibration frequencies that are incompatible with healthy cells and create chaos in otherwise healthy body functions. The ion charge from the spa safely and effectively draws out toxins through the bottom of the feet and into the water, where they are visible after the treatment is complete. After the toxins and abnormal frequencies are eliminated, the body can naturally return to a state of balance and begin the process of healing.


Aside from the immediate wellness benefits patients enjoy from detoxifying the body on a deeper level, they experience these additional health advantages after continued use:

  • Boosts metabolism
  • Inactivates viruses, yeast and fungus
  • Prevents dangerous pathogens
  • Enhances the immune system
  • Increases mental clarity
  • Raises pH levels
  • Reduces inflamation and water retention
  • Speeds up recovery from illness or injury
  • Improves sleep
  • Lowers cholesterol
  • Reverses allergy symptoms (Hayfever, Asthma, etc.)
  • Helps to clear skin problems (acne, dry spots, blackheads) caused by stress on the liver


Supporting Nutraceuticals


Nutraceuticals play an important role in any Detox Solutions Program and are comprised entirely of food, botanicals, herbs, or vitamins. They aid the body in ridding itself of toxins and fill in the nutritional gaps, without the any of the negative side effects, which can be associated with conventional medicines. A physician or detoxification specialist at Progressive can develop a Nutraceuticals plan than best suits your body’s specific detoxification needs.


Conditions that may improve with our detoxification program:

  • Chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia have been linked to environmental toxicity. Studies support role of detoxification in improvement of symptoms. J Adv Med 1998 11(4) 247-262.
  • Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS): MCS occurs as a result of low level chemical exposure coupled with a genetic predisposition.
  • Pancreatitis: Exposure to solvents can cause this health issue.
  • Parkinson’s disease: Evidence has accumulated to support the view that Parkinson's disease can originate from long-term, subclinical damage to the nervous system caused by environmental chemicals (Cooper 1991; Farina et al. 1994; Calne et al. 1986, 1987a,b). Pesticides and herbicides used on farms and in households have also been the subject of studies to investigate the possible link to Parkinson's disease (Zuber et al. 1991; Butterfield et al. 1993; Linazasoro et al. 1995; Veldman et al. 1998). Because toxic chemicals are commonly fat-soluble, they are therefore stored in lipid structures such as those present in the brain. Aluminum mercury and copper may also play a role.
  • Lupus: This disease may be caused by impaired detoxification of toxic agents such as mercury or man made, synthetic drugs.
  • Fatigue: General fatigue often improves considerably.
  • Acne: When the liver is stressed skin conditions often result.
  • Autism: Autistic individuals often have an impaired ability to metabolize environmental toxins.

Detoxification is part of Integrative Medicine, at Progressive Medical Center

Just like with any treatment, best results from detoxification therapies can be acheive when additional wellness treatments are integrated. Some of the other services at Progressive include personal training, nutritional counseling, intravenous therapies, weight loss guidance and healthy cooking classes.

What is scientific evidence-based detoxification?


The main goal of scientific detoxification is to reduce the overall burden of toxins that have invaded the body over long-term, chronic exposure. This is best achieved when the toxins are broken down on a cellular level. We use a specific combination of homeopathics, herbs, medical grade food, infrared sauna with ozone technology, lymphatic drainage, specific diet and whole food nutrient supplementation.  All of our individualized detoxification programs are custom designed for you based on what your lab testing has revealed to our physicians.

The EPA’s (Environmental Protection Agency) 2007 TRI data (information on how toxins are released) established a report, which listed persistent bioaccumulative toxic (PBT) chemicals that are of common concern: Chemicals such as Dioxin and similar compounds, lead and lead compounds, mercury and mercury compounds, polycyclic aromatic compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), certain pesticides, and other chemicals that are deemed deleterious to the human body. The 2007 TRI report also revealed that 4.1 billion pounds of toxic chemicals (comprised of almost 650 toxic chemicals) were released into the environment. Of these toxic chemicals, 507 million pounds were persistent bioaccumulative toxic chemicals (PBT) and 496 million pounds were lead and mercury compounds. According to these reports, chemicals in the environment have increased by 11% since 2001.  Therefore, there is over 4.1 BILLIONS POUNDS OF TOXIC CHEMICALS THAT YOU, MYSELF, AND OUR FAMILY MEMBERS MUST DETOXIFY!
