The Detoxification Program at Upper Room Clinic is a structured, multi-month integrative protocol for patients carrying environmental, metabolic, or heavy-metal toxic burden. Rather than running a single detox IV in isolation, the program combines diagnostic testing, sequenced therapies, lifestyle support, and follow-up testing into one care arc.
Why detoxification matters
Modern environments expose us to a continuous baseline of toxins — heavy metals, plastics and endocrine disruptors, mycotoxins, persistent organic pollutants, and the metabolic byproducts of stress and disease. Most healthy bodies clear these efficiently. But over time, in some patients, the load exceeds the body's capacity. Symptoms range widely: fatigue, brain fog, hormone disruption, immune challenges, skin issues, and chronic inflammation.
Detoxification is not a fad cleanse. Real medical detoxification is a phased process the liver, kidneys, gut, lymph, and skin already perform — and our role is to test, support, and accelerate it where appropriate.
What's in the program
A typical Detoxification Program runs 8–16 weeks and includes:
- Comprehensive testing — heavy metal panels (urine challenge, hair, blood), environmental toxin screening, mycotoxin panels, liver and kidney function markers, and inflammation markers
- Heavy Metal Chelation IV Therapy — EDTA-based or DMPS-based chelation as appropriate to the metal profile
- Glutathione IV — the body's master antioxidant, supportive of all phase II liver pathways
- Phosphatidylcholine (Plaquex) IV — cell-membrane and liver support
- HOCATT Ozone Sauna — transdermal ozone, sweating-based detox, lymphatic support
- Targeted oral support — binders, methylation cofactors, and antioxidant support
- Lifestyle and environmental review — water filtration, household exposure audit, dietary support
- Repeat testing — to confirm load reduction and adjust the protocol
Who this is for
- Patients with elevated heavy-metal panels or known environmental exposure
- Long-COVID, mold-illness, or chronic-fatigue patients with documented toxic burden
- Patients in mitochondrial recovery protocols where toxic load is a confounder
- Patients seeking a structured, monitored detox rather than ad-hoc supplementation
Who shouldn't enroll
Active acute illness, severe kidney impairment, pregnancy, certain cardiac conditions, and active malignancy under chemotherapy require evaluation. Some chelation agents have specific contraindications. We screen carefully at intake.
What to expect
Initial consultation, baseline testing (1–2 weeks), then 8–16 weeks of sequenced therapy with regular check-ins. Most patients see meaningful change in symptoms by mid-program; full toxic-load reduction often requires repeat program cycles.
