toxins ("toxins")
Explanation:
“Detoxification in the context of alternative medicine consists of an approach that claims to rid the body of “toxins” – accumulated harmful substances that allegedly exert undesirable effects on individual health in the short or long term.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detoxification_(alternative_med...

In the context of alternative medicine detoxification, “šlakai” may have been borrowed from Russian (originally a German word).
The Russian Wikipedia also puts “шлаки” in quotation marks, because it is assumed to be pseudo-scientific (not scientifically proved). http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Шлаки_в_организме

If you write (translate) from the point of view of a believer in detoxification, then of course omit the quotation marks.

Atsiprašau, truputį paskubėjau. Dabar matau sakinį „Be to, koloidinis auksas stimuliuoja ląstelių regeneracijos procesus ir valo iš organizmo šlakus.“ ALKONAS siūlo spot slag cinder sprinkle clinker freckle dross dollop scoria sinter heat-spot sullage. Aš manau, kad šiuo atveju tinka IMPURITIES.
