Need advice: ways to detoxify from medication use

[Guest guest]

A friend of mine has had Crone's disease for about 20 years. For

the last few years she has been on a variety of prescription drugs

for the Crone's as well as for other ailments (i.e. osteoporosis,

depression, bloating, etc.) which are probably a result of taking so

many prescription drugs. She is so "drugged up" that she has become

extemely bloated, gained alot of weight and is depressed ( no

wonder! )much of the time. She spends alot of time in bed and not

exercising (she used to take yoga but had to quit due to extreme

fatigue/pain/nauseau/depression, etc.) Over the last couple of

months, she quit taking her medication and is going

through "withdrawl". Apparently it will take about 6 months in

total to rid her system of all of these medications. She's drinking

alot of water and trying to eat more healthy, although this is

probably not enough. Are there other ways to accelerate her

detoxification process? Are there any herbal teas/foods/supplements

that would help? Any advice as to how to control her Crone's

disease in a more natural/holistic way? Please help!
