Are chemicals that are toxic to the body and require to be neutralised and/or excreted. Sources can be:
Consequences are multiple, some examples:
Some detailed understanding is needed because this will explain why certain tests are done and which treatments are relevant.
The aim is to remove the toxins via kidneys, bowel, lung or skin.
Certain toxins can be instantly neutralised by body defence systems, others have to go through the liver to be changed into a safer toxin and then made soluble enough to be excreted out through urine or intestines.
If not possible, then fat-soluble toxins as a last resort are stored in the body's fat cells. This can be a problem when weight loss occurs as its released again. Some fat people feel unwell when losing weight.
Certain toxins can be stored in bones, like lead. Others have an affinity for specific tissues, for example lead to bone and brain, and mercury to brain, kidneys and nerve tissues.
The liver is the prime detoxification organ. It literally filters the blood, removing waste and toxic substances. As mentioned, the object is to make the toxin more water soluble and less toxic before excreting it out.
Toxins are processed in several ways via:
Phase I pathway – essentially combines the raw toxin with a hydroxyl group by ‘hydrolysis, oxidation or reduction’. The resulting compounds are often very reactive and also toxic, in some cases more so; it is urgent that the liver gets rid of them quickly.
Phase II pathway – Now these reactive intermediate compounds need to be processed into water soluble compounds quickly. Unfortunately Phase II is more susceptible to defects, deficiencies and general hold-ups. Consequently a build up of as toxic compounds an result in typical unwellness when people detox. Especially if one fasts; here the lack of amino acids as well as other nutrients can aggravate matters.
Phase II pathway has at least 6 different biochemical ‘channels’ through which toxins, foreign chemicals, waste-products are processed. They compete for ‘processing time’. Sometimes one channel is being used maximally by one toxin and another can’t get processed so it builds up and becomes even more toxic.
Balancing is the key. Its better to have an efficient Phase II so it keeps up with demands from Phase I, and a not too excessive Phase I.
Some substances (foods, nutrients and medicinal's) can inhibit or induce either of the Phases. This can be used for to support the liver.
A healthy, functioning liver is vital to any detox program. Full nutritional support is required. This is covered later.
Routine ‘Liver Function Tests’ by local laboratories do NOT measure liver function. They are abnormal when there is significant liver damage; enough to cause cell disruption and spillage of their internal enzymes into the blood. A bit too late! Liver function is currently reasonably assessed by determining the activity of Phase I and II. A special Liver Detoxification Profile test can be purchased easily. Refer to Lab Testing Profiles and costs.
Some claim, "I've been spraying agricultural products all my life and I've never had a day off", others say "I have a mouthful of mercury amalgam fillings and I'm nearly 70. I'm never sick!". And so on. Genetically we are vary in how our genes ‘express’ or function. In other words, the human genetic blueprint contains all the instructions but whether they are carried out efficiently is a totally different thing from person to person depending on generational effects, environmental and nutritional influences.
Some people get sick within 3 months of spraying! Some who have multiple dental amalgam filling exposure over years can become tired, depressed, lose short term memory and become irritated easily.
Unfortunately, multiple toxins seem to amplify each other. For example, mercury is very toxic but in the presence of other heavy metals like cadmium or lead can be even more toxic.
So a lot of low dose accumulated toxins could be worse than one major toxin.
No point in detoxing the liver if there is continued input of toxic materials or the gut is unhealthy.
By now you will already be on a specific detoxing or 'low antigenic' or 'low reactive diet' we call the LRD
One very successful protocol is called simply the WEED - SEED - FEED system. Here the first approach is to regain intestinal health, then work on the liver. It takes several weeks as detoxing must be done slowly.

Saunas are excellent. They must not be too hot but sufficient temperature of 30-45 celcius so you can stay in for 30-45 minutes alternate days. Best is the 7-14 micron Far Infra-red type.
The whole detox program will depend on causes and severity. Some people may need a repeat cycle of the liver detox component.
Contact our clinic to enquire about doing a detox. It should always be done under full supervision.
