You might want to know why all this
insistence on detoxifying the body? If
anyone has lived in the United States in the 80’s and 90’s it is a given
that they are toxic and to add any kind of supplemental program on top
of a toxic system would be like putting fertilizer on a contaminated dump
and expecting grass to grow.
One of the body's self-defense mechanisms is the conversion and neutralization
of metabolic waste products into soluble, safe by-products that can be
eliminated.
If you answered,
"Yes" to two or more of these questions, you may be reacting
to increased toxic exposure, thus burdening, or hindering, your body's'
own detoxification ability without realizing it.
What does Detoxing mean?
Our
body has to be able to clear itself of xenobiotics, better known as environmental
toxins, endotoxins, and even the body’s own endocrine and urinary pheonolic
(metabolic waste) substances. Therefore it is not enough to simply do
a general detox and think that we’ve done our body a great service.
Granted, you have begun to help your body process things more efficiently,
however, unless a Phase II portion of any Detox is done there could be
an imbalance as well as an insufficiency of critical nutrient production.
This deficiency could result in an increased toxic load on the
body due to the breakdown in the livers production of free radical markers
and eventually show up down the road in the form of illness.
There
are two mechanisms that your liver uses to remove toxins. The first portion
of the detoxification process (Phase I) is to make toxins readily available
for elimination. The second part of the detoxification (Phase
II) changes the toxins into forms that your body can eliminate through
the urine or stool. In this way
the toxins will not end up in body tissue, which includes the brain and
central nervous system. Toxins that get caught in the body’s tissue are
released slowly into the blood stream, eventually causing chronic illness.
The Phases
of Detoxification
Phase I Detox
This
phase of detoxing is the oxidation-reduction stage, which neutralizes
chemicals, which are excreted in the bile through the intestinal tract.
This helps take stress off of the liver by clearing the gut of toxins.
Phase II must further process toxins not handled by this phase.
Phase II Detox
Further
processing is by way of the sulfur-oxidation pathway, which, consists
of Sulfation, conjugation of Glutathione, Glucoronidation and Methylation.
If this phase is congested free radical* elimination will be inhibited.
When the two phases of detoxification are out
of balance, our body is more prone to illness. The best way to determine
the level of toxicity you have is done through testing which is available
through your health care practitioner.
A Detoxification Profile identifies the level of toxicity and will
help your doctor make a better-informed decision as to the protocol needed
to help you on the road to wellness!
*Free radicals-unstable chemical compounds that destroy other cells causing them to be irreparable; similar to what rust does to a car.
