The concept of detoxification is to support the body’s ability to eliminate toxins, chemicals that generate harmful byproducts in the body known as free radicals. Free radicals have the potential to damage our cells from our brain cells to the cells that comprise our reproductive glands. Science has established that over time, free radicals are what eventually damage entire tissue and organs – leading to organ and structural dysfunction, aging and disease.
Our body – in fact, every cell in our body has built-in mechanisms to manage toxins, using sophisticated biochemical pathways to process toxins and quench or neutralize free radicals. The byproducts are then carried through our blood vessels, deposited into our lymphatic vessels and delivered to the liver. In the liver, toxic byproducts undergo further processing and are subsequently eliminated through our bowels, urine, lungs and skin (sweat).
Just like the functioning of your vehicle is determined by critical elements like fuel, clean oil and a good filter to run efficiently without damaging the engine and parts, it is a scientific fact that your body’s detoxification pathways require specific nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and antioxidants to work properly.
When our cells are faced with a deficiency of any of these critical nutrients, or if the pathways become overwhelmed by with too many toxins and free radicals, the ability to detoxify is compromised and damaging effects ensue. Eventually the damage manifests physically in a multitude of ways, depending on which systems have been affected. It may begin with symptoms such as inflammation, fatigue, reduced metabolic function, slow recovery from injury, allergies, digestive issues, chemical sensitivities, lowered immunity and hormone imbalance. If left unaddressed, diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis and autoimmune conditions ensue.
