While a course of healing foods recomposes the digestive system, the revolutionary protocol’s other components cycle through each bodily system, cleansing each set of organs–one after another– to restore the patient’s body and mind to an undamaged state. First any self-harming behaviors are discontinued: toxic foods, smoking and mind-altering substances. The discontinuation of these gripping habits is made as easy as possible at The Holistic Sanctuary: Each patient is individually assessed and prescribed a course of natural remedies to eliminate cravings for foods, nicotine and caffeine; these solutions–NAD IVs, green coffee enemas and other aspects of the Sanctuary’s proprietary method–also reduce tolerance for patients dependent on medications. These primary steps facilitate a tapered reduction in dosages, a part of the preparation for pain-free detoxification that is often aided by the ineffable powers of sacred plant medicines for patients who qualify.

The next steps utilize holistic tools of the modern age to fortify the healing strength residing inside of us all: the stem cells. The results derived from this part of the program see patients emerge feeling younger and happier; they sense their mental clarity return with increases in focus and concentration; they see the effects of physical damages from their past, ranging from traumatic brain injuries to post-operative impairment, palliate as though the injuries had never occurred in the first place. The ironic beauty of this is that the body does not call upon external sources, but rather it solicits its own resources to heal itself.

The Holistic Sanctuary maximizes the proliferation of stem cells and optimizes the process of neurogenesis to heal the brain by conjoining multiple therapies that are symbiotic beneficiaries of one another. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, super-foods containing Omega-3 and light exercise coalesce with one another to cause an expansion of new brain cells that do not immediately die off, as they would if one of these components were not engaged–or if large quantities of mind-altering substances as seemingly trivial as caffeine or nicotine were present in the bloodstream.

Going beyond physical healing, The Holistic Sanctuary helps facilitate the implementation of the life-changing habit that is meditation. The Kundalini yogi staff present a variety of meditation styles to suit the patient’s preferences. Finding what works best is a personal choice, decided by trial. Guided meditations, breath-work, different focal points and zazen are led during a guest’s stay to provide a thorough introduction to help the guest decide what practice is right for them. Daily meditation allows for the practice to take root.
