Read MoreAt this time of year I, like many, want to start the year a little bit cleaner and clearer, beginning as I mean to go on. For the last couple of years I’ve used the detox system created by Dr Joshi to reach this goal. It’s called the holistic detox or Alkaline detox. The principle of the detox is to reduce acid in the body and increase your internal alkaline balance.
