We have reached a point where, for many people in the G7 nations, the traditional health care system is no longer either safe or affordable. Looking at how much money we are spending on health insurance in the United States and elsewhere, we may be better off leaving the system and taking health into our own hands.

On Ask Catherine, more and more questions are coming in from subscribers who are thinking about giving up on their health insurance. People are grappling with the question of whether or not they want to continue funding access to a broken system that is rapidly deteriorating in quality and safety.

So, for our Blast from the Past this week, we have put together a collection on how to take care of your own health, focusing on the fundamentally important concept of detoxification.

Dr. Laura Thompson was Catherine’s personal nutritionist and one of her most important guides in health and healing. The process of detoxing is the first step toward longevity and health. In fact, according to Tom Cowan detoxing is the most important aspect of keeping healthy, so much so that he no longer refers to the body’s “immune system” but calls it the “detoxification and regeneration system.”

In the first Solari Report we selected, Dr. Laura Thompson shares her wealth of insight and experience on how to detox properly, providing numerous practical tips:
