Detoxification Therapy in Greenville, SC

Detoxification Therapy at IHP Greenville. Dr. Hendry, DAOM — functional medicine, root-cause diagnostics, personalized care. Call (864) 365-6156.

Detoxification therapy at Integrative Health Partners is a clinical intervention — not a trendy juice cleanse. Dr. Hendry's evidence-based detoxification protocols address specific toxin burdens (heavy metals, mold toxins, persistent organic pollutants, environmental chemicals) through a comprehensive approach that supports all four elimination pathways: liver phase I and II detoxification, kidney filtration, bowel elimination, and skin (sweating). The protocol is tailored to your specific toxin exposure history and current physiological detoxification capacity.

How Detoxification Therapy Works

Detoxification treatment at IHP combines functional medicine testing (heavy metal urine provocation, mycotoxin panel, organic acids for toxin metabolite markers), acupuncture (for liver function support and autonomic regulation), Chinese herbal medicine (liver-supportive formulas — Long Dan Xie Gan Tang for Liver Damp-Heat, Yin Chen Hao Tang for liver toxin patterns), ozone therapy (Nrf2 activation and antioxidant upregulation), infrared sauna (sweat-based elimination), and targeted nutritional support for phase I/II liver detox pathways.

Conditions Treated with Detoxification Therapy

Your First Appointment

Describe known toxin exposures: mold (water-damaged buildings, visible mold), amalgam fillings, occupational chemical exposures, high fish consumption (mercury), residence near industrial facilities. Bring any prior toxin testing. Symptoms of toxin burden: unexplained fatigue, brain fog, chemical sensitivities, and poor tolerance to alcohol or environmental chemicals are all relevant.

Why Dr. Hendry for Detoxification Therapy

Dr. Hendry's functional medicine training in liver detoxification biochemistry (CYP450 phase I enzymes, phase II conjugation pathways, glutathione recycling) gives him a mechanistic understanding of detoxification that guides precise, targeted intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Signs that may warrant investigation: unexplained fatigue, brain fog, chemical sensitivities (fragrances, alcohol, smoke), poor tolerance to medications, chronic sinusitis, and history of significant toxin exposure. Dr. Hendry uses testing to determine whether toxin burden is contributing to your symptoms.
Phase I uses CYP450 enzymes to modify toxins, sometimes creating more reactive intermediates. Phase II conjugates these intermediates with molecules (glutathione, sulfate, glucuronate) to make them water-soluble for excretion. Both phases require specific nutrients — their support is central to functional detoxification protocols.
Phase I: B vitamins (riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12, folate), antioxidants (vitamin C, E), flavonoids. Phase II: glutathione precursors (N-acetylcysteine, glycine, glutamine), sulfur compounds (from cruciferous vegetables, MSM), magnesium, selenium, and molybdenum.
Evidence-based clinical detoxification is safe when properly assessed, sequenced, and supported. Aggressive detox protocols that mobilize toxins faster than elimination pathways can clear them can temporarily worsen symptoms (Herxheimer reaction). Dr. Hendry paces detox protocols to patient tolerance.
Active detox protocols run 4–8 weeks, combining multiple modalities 3–5x/week. Maintenance detox is recommended seasonally or annually for ongoing toxin exposure.
