Detoxification
At Mend Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, we understand the importance of detoxification as a vital step toward optimal health. Dr. Erin West, a Holistic Doctor in Gilbert, Arizona, specializes in natural methods to help you remove toxins from your body, promoting overall well-being.
Our personalized detox programs are designed to cleanse your system, whether it’s targeting parasites or supporting liver detoxification, to enhance energy levels and restore balance. By focusing on these crucial aspects of your body’s natural detox processes, we aim to support your overall health and rejuvenation.
Discover the Root Causes of Health Challenges
With over 12 years of experience as an ER nurse and extensive practice in Eastern medicine, I have identified some of the fundamental root causes behind many common health challenges. One significant concern that often goes overlooked is the need to detoxify the body, particularly focusing on liver detox and kidney detox.
The Hidden Burden on Your Liver
Where does this burden come from? The answer lies in our environment. Every day, we are exposed to countless chemicals, toxins, molds, and even parasites that we inhale, ingest, or absorb through our skin. These harmful substances are present in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the products we use on our skin, and the environments we occupy—our homes, cars, and beyond. Astonishingly, the average person is exposed to around 80,000 industrial chemicals daily, and most of us carry about 700 of these chemicals in our bodies at any given time.
The Importance of Detoxification
Detoxification is essential to maintaining good health. Consider the airborne chemicals you encounter during a visit to a nail salon or an auto mechanic’s shop. Disturbingly, the average newborn has 287 known toxins present in their umbilical cord blood at birth. Now, imagine the extent of toxic exposure throughout your lifetime.
Long-term exposure to toxins can severely impact your health, compromising the liver, gall bladder, kidneys, and intestines. This toxic load can lead to a weakened immune system, inflammation, hormone imbalances, malabsorption, and conditions such as leaky gut, which further increases the body’s toxic burden. Detoxifying your body, particularly focusing on liver detox, kidney detox, and lymph system detox, is crucial for overall well-being.
Are Toxins Making Us Unwell?
Could the accumulation of toxins be why so many of us struggle with our health today? The simple truth is that we are constantly surrounded by toxins that are slowly damaging our bodies and brains. The role of detoxification, including liver cleanse, kidney detox, and skin detox, is critical in protecting our health, yet it is often overlooked by conventional medicine.
Don’t wait for routine blood work to reveal damage to your liver or kidneys, or worse, a cancer diagnosis. The time to take action with a detox cleanse to remove toxins from the body is now—especially because avoiding all toxins entirely is nearly impossible.
“It is not the strongest nor the most intelligent of species that survives, but the one that is most adaptive to change.”

Detox FAQs
Do you have questions about acupuncture therapy? We answer some of the most commonly asked questions we get from our patients about acupuncture.
No matter which toxin or parasite marker is elevated, you will still need to complete Step 1 of this Foundational Protocol, but the subsequent 3 months would be different nutraceuticals (vitamins/supplements/herbal medicine), targeted to address the root disturbance in the body.
If you have a simple question that can readily be answered over email, feel free to message me. If it seems we need more time to discuss, we can schedule a time to talk over the phone for either 15 minutes or 30 minutes appointments. Reach out to Rob to get that booked.
I have spent many years researching and working with a variety of high-quality nutraceutical companies, and I find that each company has only a select few that they have really mastered. CellCore has shown me and my patients how effective and complete their products are for detoxification, with the proper steps to minimize the common side effects. There are times where we may want additional support from other products, but this is dependents on how severe the toxic load is.
Absolutely! Any step you take to help your body relieve its toxic burden is a great step. To answer this better for you, please send me an email asking about your specific health concern.
How I Can Help You Detoxify and Reclaim Your Health
Our primary detoxification protocol is designed to detoxify the body over four months, with each month focusing on specific supplements to target different stages of detoxification. This detox cleanse is structured to help you remove toxins from the body effectively. You’ll also receive additional recommendations to enhance your detox cleanse results at home.
“The body is a self-healing organism, so it’s really about clearing things out of the way so the body can heal itself.”
Foundational Detox Program
This comprehensive body detox program is ideal for anyone experiencing fatigue, joint pain, digestive or skin issues, or who simply wants to feel better. Many patients report feeling unwell and express a desire to detoxify their liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, and skin through a structured liver cleanse, kidney detox, and skin detox.
Each step of the detox lasts one month, starting with a crucial first step in any detox program: opening the drainage pathways to allow toxins to exit the body.
“All disease begins in the gut.”

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am that life led me to seek acupuncture and that Dr. West is the provider I found. Dr. West helped me understand and address some chronic health issues that I had been battling for 10-15 years. You do not have to suffer or feel alone in your health journey; Eastern medicine has so much to offer. As a practitioner, Dr. West is kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly listens with an open mind and heart. She is easily one of the warmest people I have ever encountered. Rob at the front desk makes you feel welcome the second you walk in the door. The treatment rooms are impeccably clean and comfortable. Careful detail was clearly taken to create the best possible experience for patients. I highly recommend Mend Acupuncture! - 6/11/2024

I don’t know if I can even put into words how amazing of a person and gifted clinician Dr. West is. I’ve battled chronic migraines for 15 years. Saw a neurologist and had injections, Botox, many different medications with no relief and no answers. I started Acupuncture with Dr. West in March and the results have been life changing. I’m forever thankful I was referred to her practice. She is so thorough, knowledge, patient, kind, empathetic and truly gifted at what she does. The techniques she uses is effective and she is so gentle! The office is always on time, clean, greeted by the best! Appointments are always booked and organized. - 5/21/2024

Dr Erin & staff are just incredible. My husband and I struggled to have children for nearly 7 years before we decided to try doing IVF and using a surrogate to carry for us. After doing lots of research we kept hearing that acupuncture (when done right) can absolutely affect blood flow and success rates for implantation. Well 6 years later we now have two sons. Dr Erin worked her needle magic for both our transfer preps and during pregnancy to help our surrogate get her body best prepared to accept our embryo and to allow the embryo to implant and thrive. They were a dream to work with and became a key part of the team leading to our success. I highly recommend them not just for IVF/pregnancy but for all your acupuncture needs. We are truly grateful to have benefited from their expertise. - 4/07/2024

I highly recommend Dr West. She is an extraordinary practitioner and I trust her completely with my health care needs. I was rehabbing a broken ankle, and acupuncture progressed my healing faster as a compliment to my PT. Acupuncture made a huge difference in my ability to walk. I also worked with Dr West to calm my nervous system and address f/f states. I had amazing outcomes. - 3/13/2024

My experience with Mend Acupuncture and Dr. West has been incredibly positive. Dr. West has facilitated my healing journey post fertility treatment. In addition, her technique and expertise has allowed for stress reduction and better sleep. As a new acupuncture patient, I was not sure what to expect. My expectations were exceeded after my first session. I hardly felt the acupuncture needles, in fact they have almost an instant calming effect promoting deep relaxation. After each session, I wish I can stay on the table so much longer. Dr. West pays close attention to individual needs and strives to maximize healing each and every session. She cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to create a nurturing and safe environment. Office manager, Rob West, provides outstanding customer service and always makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. Patient care is priority at this office and no matter what the health struggle, I highly recommend Mend Acupuncture. 10/10!! - 2/07/2024

I have been going to Dr. West for over a year now and I can't emphasize enough how wonderful she is! She is so knowledgeable in her field and has helped me feel more connected to my body. Her treatments have significantly helped my back pain. Not only is she good at what she does, but she is as sweet as can be! She genuinely cares deeply about her patients and takes the time to get to know them. I am so grateful to have found her as she is not only my acupuncturist, but she has become a friend.

There are not enough kind words to describe Dr West. She is incredibly compassionate and thoughtful, pouring so much of herself into the healing of her patients. Her treatments are worth every penny, she has helped me with both my mental and physical health while pregnant and in between pregnancies.

I have been a devoted patient of Dr. Erin West at Mend Acupuncture for the past 7 years, and my experience has consistently been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you step into the clinic, the warm and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a positive healing experience. Firstly, I must commend the incredible front desk staff, particularly Rob, for making scheduling and checking out such a breeze. His efficiency and friendliness contribute to the overall smooth running of the clinic. It's rare to find a front desk guy that not only handles administrative tasks seamlessly but also exudes a genuine commitment to patient care. Dr. West herself is a true gem in the field of acupuncture and holistic wellness. Over the years, she has played a pivotal role in my fertility journey, offering valuable insights and effective treatments to prepare my body for pregnancy. Despite ultimately choosing a different path, Dr. West has seamlessly transitioned her care towards supporting my overall well-being. Her dedication to her patients goes beyond the treatment room, creating a sense of trust and partnership that is truly invaluable. The facility at Mend Acupuncture is, without a doubt, top-notch. Immaculately clean, wonderfully quiet, and exuding an overall sense of tranquility, it provides the ideal environment for healing and relaxation. There's a certain magic to each session, and I often find myself wishing that the treatments wouldn't have to end. In conclusion, Dr. Erin West and the entire team at Mend Acupuncture have created a space where healing is not only effective but also a genuinely pleasant experience. If you are seeking a practitioner who is not only skilled in acupuncture but also deeply committed to your well-being, look no further than Dr. West at Mend Acupuncture. A five-star rating doesn't quite do justice to the excellence provided by this outstanding clinic. - 11/26/2023

I am so grateful to have found Dr. West and Mend Acupuncture. Dr. West really listens to me, which I have found to be rare as a woman patient even among female providers. When I first saw Dr. West, I had a chronic condition that had not been helped by any of the other multiple providers I had seen (both eastern and western medicine based). Now that condition has been greatly improved and I have needed her for other ailments or issues since then that she has expertly treated. I have sent both my husband and my best friend to Dr. West because I trust her implicitly. As a bonus, the office is well run by Rob West who is always extremely friendly and communicative. I highly recommend Mend for any of your health and wellness needs. - 11/26/2023

This is a long review for a good reason. If you are seeking care and hesitant about acupuncture, this is your place! After more than a decade fighting migraines, my team of doctors, including my neurologist, gave me two last "hail mary" options: chiropractor or acupuncture. Considering my neurologist sees many patients from malpractice of chiropractors, I chose the latter, figuring I wasn't scared of needles and it couldn't hurt me, so what did I have to lose? Regardless, being of a scientific background, I researched thoroughly and was happy to find Dr. West and her good reviews. It was the first time I felt both seen and heard. What unfolded over nearly two years of care was pure magic, though that isn't fair to describe Dr. West's work as magic because she puts so much effort into each patient! She never stops learning or trying - a rare occurrence nowadays. I am now migraine free AND off all medications. She also helped with many of my other ailments, completely turning around my life, and she did it with a huge smile on her face. If you would have told me all of this a few years ago I'd laugh. Acupuncture, more specifically Dr. West, literally saved my life. I would be on disability right now, but instead I am traveling pain-free. If that isn't enough, her wonderful husband, Rob, runs the office and is a delight. This duo keeps the place very clean, comfortable, and atmospheric. In every visit not only do you get top-notch acupuncture, you get rest and respite, plus a wonderful, heart-warming interaction with them both. - 11/26/2023

I have been under Dr West’s care for the last two years with consistently superior results. Ive had an auto immune disease for 50 years and Dr West’s care enables me to maintain a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle without the typical pharmas. That said, Dr West appreciates Western medicine and knows how to work as a team with traditional medical practices. Dr. West is not only a gifted healer - she deeply cares for her patients and enjoys providing care! She is also an excellent listener and an innovative doctor. Her husband, Rob, adds to the care with his skilled management and genuine interest in client needs. Dr West and Rob are the real deal! - 11/26/2023

I have been seeing Dr.West for several years. I have never had Healthcare that comes close to what she provides. I have never had a traditional doctor ask me the questions and symptoms that she does. I agree with all the reviews that praise her caring, compassion, and knowledge. Among the long list of services she provides is Infertility and Pregnancy. I was not aware of this possibility until I saw the numerous pictures of beautiful babies that she has helped bring to grateful parents. Dr. West and Rob are a great team to trust with your Healthcare. - 11/26/2023

I have been seeing Dr. West for over 7 years now. I tried acupuncture before but I never really saw a difference in my health until I saw Dr. West. She has helped improve my depression and fatigue. When I was in a car accident she was also able to heal my back muscles without having to see a chiropractor or get physical therapy. Now I am able to just ensure that I maintain with routine appointments. - 11/26/2023

Where do I begin... I just can't say enough good things about Mend Acupuncture. The office is always clean and I never have to wait for a room. Rob is always so professional and kind to greet you at every visit. Dr. West is an absolute Gem of a human being and so amazing at what she does. She takes the time to listen to every concern and uses her vast knowledge and skills to treat every concern with care and respect. They don't treat you like an everyday patient or customer, they treat you like family. There is no place like Mend Acupuncture and I feel so lucky to have found them. Dr. West is extremely knowledgeable. When I describe a particular ache or pain, she immediately knows what and where the problem is. She has made many recommendations for exercise and supplements to assist with my overall health. Both Dr. West and Rob are very friendly and compassionate and have created a very warm and welcoming environment. They are truly wonderful people. Acupuncture has made a tremendous difference in my life and I thank Mend Acupuncture for that! - 11/03/2023

I have been a patient of Dr. West since 2016. Her attention to detail and professional investment in my personal health journey has been so meaningful. She has helped to tame my generalized inflammation, calm and support my central nervous system, fight off viruses and bugs, and has supported me through various female health concerns. Her knowledge of TCM combined with her expertise in herbal medicine has helped me to rebuild my body from the inside out. I am beyond grateful to be in her care. I’d like to also mention how wonderful Rob, the office manager, is. He diligently supports Dr. West while always prioritizing patients needs. I highly recommend Mend Acupuncture … your mind and body will definitely thank you! - 10/26/2023

When I first started at Mend Acupuncture, I was in terrible pain from my neck to the very top of my head. Within a couple of treatments from Dr. West, I was pain free and back to my normal routines. In addition to providing excellent acupuncture treatment, Dr. West is caring and kind. She takes the time to listen to her patients at every appointment before treatment begins. Her calm demeanor sets the tone for an excellent result with every session. Dr West's office is smoothly run by Rob-calls and emails are responded to right away. Professional, caring and efficient. All characteristics of a truly wonderful place called Mend Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. - 10/26/2023
