4. Detox
A detox and purification program can be beneficial for anyone at any time, as long as it is done right. The celebrities regularly talk about the latest detox program as if they were throwaway fashion items, but for scleroderma patients, a detox could be just what they need in order to stop the body becoming burdened with xenobiotic chemicals, which could ultimately worsen or speed up the process of the disease, as discussed above.
By removing these impure chemicals that are found in everything from red meat to candy, a patient can potentially slow down, or even begin to reverse the process of the disease. The science behind this is fairly simple. Detoxifications work in the favor of patients living with most illnesses, chronic or otherwise, and so the theory goes that it should be in no way different for people trying to tackle scleroderma as part of their daily lives.
