Preparing the Body for Getting Off Valium
At Alternative to Meds Center, the body is well-prepared before these changes happen. This makes stopping Valium as tolerable and comfortable as possible. Before beginning the taper we do toxicity testing and start the removal of neurotoxins. The body stores toxins over time from past chemical exposures, food additives, mold spores, dental amalgams, and other environmental sources. Such residues accumulate and can cause detrimental effects on overall health. This toxic burden can compromise a person’s neurochemistry and impair its thousands of functions.12-14
Very often, lab testing that we do before beginning the Valium taper shows high levels of accumulated neurotoxins. These are safely purged from the system. First, the cleansing process can relieve the excitatory influence that such chemical residues can inflict on the person’s neurochemistry. Studies show that neurotoxicity from mercury, lead, toxic mold spores, and other environmental sources is linked with insomnia, anxiety, depression, and other mimicked psychiatric symptoms.11-14 These exposures could have been the very reason behind starting a Valium prescription in the first place. In all likelihood, you were never tested for these things prior to being prescribed Valium or other drugs.
The Importance of Cleansing
Clients in the cleansing phase of their program typically report sleeping better and feeling calmer, brighter, and more clear-headed. Various forms of chelation “chelate” (trap) the offending particles for safe elimination. Colon hydrotherapy, therapeutic sauna, nebulized glutathione, and mineral baths provide effective, non-invasive methods. These changes provide a gentle introduction to the remaining phases of the program. Please take some moments to review these holistic therapies offered at Alternative to Meds on our services overview pages.
Valium Tapering — Recommended Diet Modifications
The center provides delicious meals and snacks. The chef prepares gourmet creations from clean (chemical and preservative-free) mostly organic, locally sourced foods. The daily menu omits stimulants like caffeine, sugars, food preservatives, or other chemicals entirely. Each meal is designed to provide adequate proteins, greens, fruits, and vegetables. At least one portion of fermented foods is offered at each meal. The staff provide food-grade supplements tailored to each individual to provide the necessary raw materials that are essential to rehabilitating neurochemistry.
The program uses diet correction and supplements that are designed to regain a healthy microbiome. A robust microbiome is a key factor in restoring and renewing the neurochemistry of the body since many of the so-called brain chemicals that are essential to health are produced in the gut, derived from real food, and distributed from there. A well-functioning microbiome makes restoring wellness not only possible but highly efficient.
The best time to begin a taper is when the person is sleeping better, eating well, and stable. This can ensure a much more comfortable Valium cessation process than would otherwise be possible.
Holistic Methods for Comfort and to Ease Getting Off Valium
Quitting Valium may produce a rather long list of potential reactions. But proper therapeutics can reduce these reactions. Diet modifications as outlined above, plus therapeutic massage, Reiki, soothing mineral baths, ionic foot baths, nebulized glutathione treatments, acupuncture, acupressure, yoga, QiGong, and craniosacral massage, are some examples. When physically stable, CBT and other counseling genres can provide long-lasting relief of symptoms and distress.7,9
Trying to rush through Valium tapering may be disastrous, with long-lasting repercussions that can persist for years. Take the safe route. Go slowly and gradually and get adequate support along the way.3,4
Getting to the Root Cause
We have previously discussed how fixing neurotoxicity can possibly resolve initial symptoms. Often overlooked, nutritional deficiencies and allergies may trigger unwanted symptoms. Genetics can play a part as well. Testing will reveal these root causes.
Unresolved trauma can present a roadblock to healing and recovery. We provide many genres of counseling to assist, and a supportive peer-group program. We also provide practical tools like Life Coaching. Such therapies can produce profound life-changing effects. Perhaps this explains their popularity. Therapies like these help us to regain control, and restructure a new and more ideal living situation. Clients begin their counseling at a point in the program where they are calmer, thinking more clearly, and sleeping better.
