Our Founders: A Legacy of Detox Leadership
At the heart of the International Detoxinician Certificate Training School (IDCTS) lies a legacy that spans generations—a legacy rooted in science, personal conviction, and an unwavering mission to restore health through intelligent detoxification.
David E. Root, M.D., M.P.H.
Decades ago, Dr. Root emerged as a pioneer in the field of detoxification. Long before detox became a wellness buzzword, he was developing strategies that addressed what mainstream medicine often overlooked: the long-term burden of environmental and fat-stored toxins—and their deep connection to chronic illness.
His groundbreaking work led to the development of Detoxination®, a structured, multi-phase protocol combining niacin, sauna, strategic nutrient support, and precise binder timing. Over the years, his protocols helped thousands reclaim their health—many of whom had exhausted all other options.
Driven by results and backed by science, he laid the foundation for what would become a revolutionary approach to detox—one that respects the body’s complexity while restoring its natural ability to heal.
Daniel Root, Senior Detoxinician™
Carrying that legacy forward is Daniel Root, a passionate detox practitioner, educator, and advocate for restoring health through evidence-based detoxification. Building upon his father’s pioneering work, Daniel has devoted his career to refining and expanding the Detoxination® Protocol, ensuring it remains both scientifically grounded and practically accessible. With a deep understanding of biochemistry, mitochondrial health, and the enterohepatic cycle of toxins, he bridges the gap between research and real-world application.
He has been instrumental in developing training curricula, creating practical tools for remote client management, and translating complex biochemical detox concepts into actionable guidance. His work ensures that the Detoxinician Certification Training is not only rooted in clinical rigor, but also accessible, adaptable, and globally relevant.
Through his leadership, the mission of IDCTS has moved beyond one-on-one coaching—into a professional training platform empowering practitioners to confidently guide clients through detoxification in today’s toxic world.
