Mind-body-spirit medicine deals with changing values and habits to adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Natural detoxification and hydrotherapy are procedures that allow toxins to be removed from the tissues and eliminated from the body. While at our center you will have the opportunity to experience several healing approaches that will work for you.

1. Detoxification

2. Nutrition

Nutritional detoxification and fasting eliminates addictions, bad habits and unhealthy thought patterns. Detoxification and fasting are medical procedures, that restore homeostasis, strengthen the immune system and heal many illnesses. Detoxification is excellent for everybody. After all our body detoxifies every night when we sleep. Detox is a natural process. Supervised detoxification is used either to overcome addictions, to regain health and recover from disease, or preventively to attain a high state of health, high vitality and longevity.

During fasting and nutritional detoxification, drugs, toxic substances and toxic unhealthy foods become naturally unattractive. Fasting is an ideal time to be introspective and honest with oneself. It is conducive to quiet observation of thought patterns and values. Nutritional detox and fasting is surgery without a knife. It allows nature and her healing power to take control of our being and do her cleansing and repair work.

3. Dietary Supplementation

4. Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy involves the use of water for soothing pains and treating disease symptoms. Its use has been recorded in ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations. Egyptian royalty bathed with essential oils and flowers, while Romans had communal public baths for their citizens. Hippocrates prescribed bathing in spring water for sickness. A Dominican monk, Sebastian Kneipp, again revived it during the 19th century in the US. His book My Water Cure in 1886 was published and translated into many languages. The first naturopathic physicians, at the turn of the century used hydrotherapy as a major treatment for illness. In Europe, water has along history of use for all sorts of ailments in particular rheumatic disease. Clinics built on the sea shore use sea water while other facilities built on hot springs use mineral water, for their medical value.

Sea water, acidic water and brackish water are all used in our therapies for relaxation and more precise physical therapy treatments for conditions such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or spinal cord injuries, spasticity, stroke or paralysis. Relaxation is promoted from just floating in warm water, enjoying the caress of the soft breeze. Deeper emotional work may be accomplished in water such as facing fears and deepening trust. At Kapoho Sanctuary there are nearby tidal pools and natural ocean pools as well as a geothermal pool which is our favorite location for watsu sessions.

What Others Experienced

Perhaps most valuable was the attentive natural medical support; I feel all of the above could be wasted without it. Dr. Baylac studied my case thoroughly, ordered tests that revealed underlying issues that MD’s have overlooked for years, and tweaked my customized supplement routine and IV therapy support as needed. Though drug withdrawals and food cravings were nursed to minimal discomfort (massages, teas, baths & lots of love helped), my first few weeks of detox were rough with mood instability, psychadellic flashbacks, nightmares, and occasional vomiting. I was probably a tough customer to restore to sanity, but because of her intuitive nurturing and sincere passion for helping, I was able to open up and trust Dr. Baylac and her phenomenal team to guide me to serenity.

I stayed at the Retreat for 6 weeks and this time truly changed my life. I had surgery and became addicted to opiates. One thing led to another, and before I knew it seven years of my life went by on drugs. Methadone was my drug of choice and I had tried five ‘detoxes’ and two rehabs to kick this drug. Nothing seemed to work. I suffered hard at these traditional rehabs. But I was surrounded by negative people and bad food. At the Hawaii retreat it was almost the opposite. Yeah, I went through a rough detox but the food, saunas, enemas, hydrogen peroxide baths, massages and tons of other things made it bearable. I fully detoxed from methadone and it was not as painful as it had been in the past. I’m really grateful that I had the opportunity to come here.
