When I finally managed to crawl downstairs I had to have a cup of coffee before I could do anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually I sold the delicatessen shop I was running because I simply could not go on any longer. When I stopped I felt worse. Everyone thought I should have felt better but I didn&#8217;t.\u00a0\u00a0I was told I had chronic fatigue but doctors in those days did not know what to do about it.<\/p>\n<p>I was already interested in diet and natural remedies as my younger son developed eczema on his feet when he was just two.\u00a0 (Eventually with the knowledge I gained his eczema cleared up when I got him onto a good, healthy diet that excluded wheat and dairy).<\/p>\n<p>I researched my condition and eventually, after listening to a talk by Charlotte Gerson, when she visited England, I decided that an intensive juice detox and a special diet was the way to go. I felt she had hit the nail on the head when she stated that illness is a result of toxicity and deficiencies.<\/p>\n<p>It took 6 months of 6 freshly made vegetable juices and 1 coffee enema a day but I finally recovered my energy.<\/p>\n<p>Since then I&#8217;ve experienced numerous types of detox from juice fasts, green smoothie detoxes, colemas, colonic hydrotherapy, colon cleanses, parasite cleanses, heavy metal detoxes, Far-infrared saunas, lymph detox, Iratherm detox and probably others I&#8217;ve forgotten about.<\/p>\n<p>I became so passionate about the power of detox that I took a number of holistic dietary therapy and nutrition courses and started my nutrition practice. For over 20 years I helped clients achieve their health goals through simple detox programs and good nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>Now I love to share my knowledge and experience about health and detox on this blog and in the ebooks, short reports, guides and programs I&#8217;ve written.<\/p>\n<p>Because sugar is such a problem for most people I&#8217;ve just created the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/7-day-sugar-detox-and-cleanse\/\">7 Day Sugar Detox &amp; Cleanse<\/a><\/strong> which is a good place to start if you want to improve your health.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also created a <a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/recharge-energize-and-delicious-body-detox\/\"><strong>14 Day Energizing Detox Program<\/strong><\/a> to help tired, busy women reboot and recover their energy with a very doable, flexible, no starvation detox plan. And don&#8217;t worry there&#8217;s not an enema in sight!<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you radiant health.<\/p>\n<p>Sandy<\/p>\n<p>Detox Specialist &amp; Health Coach<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, I am\u00a0Sandy Halliday\u00a0a former nurse, holistic nutritionist and health coach Quite a few years ago I burned myself out working, looking after two small children and trying to have some sort of social life.
