Detoxification in detail (Part 1)

Hello.

It's funny when we talk about detoxification. It is a word that has become relatively fashionable. And as always, there are those who are for and there are those who are against.

Regularly, there are people who come out with this saying, "Detox diets don't work, and are absolutely useless."

And it's quite the opposite, in this series of articles, which I call "Detoxification in detail", I will explain to you what it is, what it consists of, above all how it works.

Because the important thing is not to have ready-made recipes, but rather to know what principles to put into action so that everyone can know how they can use this tool for the best, to prosper.

Because indeed, it is an inherent function of the body that we can support or that we can prevent. And indeed, we have a means of action on this.

So what is detoxification?

Detoxification is a normal function of the body which allows a certain amount of waste to be evacuated, and we will come back to this. This function offers two possibilities. Either we let it happen, or we prevent it. And it's mostly always the same. We have a body that has a purifying capacity. This purifying capacity is adapted to a given quantity of toxins which come from the environment.

It's always the same, it's a relationship between processing capacity and the quantity of products arriving.

If the quantity of products arrived begins to exceed the excretory capacity (the capacity of detoxification of the organism) what happens? It accumulates, it accumulates. Besides, I don't know if you can imagine a tumor growing in healthy tissue. We were walking quietly on a country lane one beautiful morning and suddenly! A tumor in the kidney... That doesn't make sense!

I'll tell you the cause, it's called metabolic waste.

Indeed, when you consume products, when you digest them, there is a whole cascade of reactions that occur and for example, when you consume proteins, during the digestion of proteins, there is a product which is released and which is called ammonia. And if this ammonia was not broken down into urea by the liver and then eliminated by the kidneys, ammonia becomes an extremely toxic product for the organism. And we will see, there are many others.

Then there are many micro-organisms, fungi, yeasts, bacteria that are processed by the liver in particular and then eliminated by the organs of elimination called Emunctories, all the contaminants and pollutants that we find in our food. Because for the last 50 or 60 years, we have had fun throwing pesticides and fungicides into our food.

Automatically they must be eliminated. Why? Because they are poisons for the body. They are poisons for the life that is present on the plants, for the micro-organisms that are present on the plants. Food additives are violent poisons for the body. Apart from giving a pretty color, they are useless.

Obviously it attracts the eye!

So the list is quite long of products that we ingest on a daily basis or that come from our normal metabolism because we forget about them too quickly. But every cell and every microorganism that functions in the body produces acids.

When you contract your muscles, you produce lactic acid. Lactic acid is a toxic product for the body that must be processed and eliminated. When you think, you produce phosphoric acid. This phosphoric acid must be eliminated by the body. Indeed, we have organs specifically adapted to this function.

We have a liver that is there to do the detoxification. In this series (Detoxification in detail) we will talk essentially about the liver, and then it will be an open door. We will also talk about allergies, mood disorders, mental disorders because you will see that all this is linked to the liver as well.

There are also organs that are supposed to eliminate outside: the kidneys, the intestines, the lungs, the skin in particular. If the system worked perfectly, we would all be in perfect health and we wouldn't have so many ailments that cause us to have poly allergies, tumors that develop in the body, autoimmune diseases that develop in the body, depression, kidney function, liver function, digestive function.

All this cannot develop in healthy tissues that would be cleaned by detoxification in a normal way.

The liver is an essential organ. It is important to understand that in our environment, in what we inhale, in what we consume or in what is produced by our body, there are many toxic products that come in. This is not a problem as such because our body is perfectly designed to deal with these toxic products.

But there are two ways to look at it. We can look at the way energy in the body is spent. The energy that is used by the body, that allows the different organs to function, is distributed according to an order of priorities.

The first energy expenditure is the energy spent for digestion. The second, almost equally, is the energy spent on cogitation, on thinking. When these two sectors are filled, the third is the motor activity, the fact of moving, of moving and having an action in this world. And the fourth, if there is any energy left, is detoxification.

Automatically we understand that the more we spend in the first three sectors, the less energy we have for detoxification.

What is one of the characteristics of our time?

First, we eat all the time. There are no breaks, food additives, refined sugar and processed and industrialized products. You have insulin and blood sugar spikes all the time anyway. You can't do anything but drive like an addict, since refined sugar in particular makes us drive like addicts... Refined sugar is more addictive than heroin (Tests that were done on mice).

We drive like drug addicts to go from food to food. There already, maximum digestive energy, we digest all the time. Then, mental energy. We live in a time when the solicitation of our brain has never been so important. We have means of communication that mean we receive messages from everywhere, all the time. There are injunctions in terms of speed of action. Our mind is over-saturated, there is a noise in our head (this is also a subject that we will deal with: the permanent noise in our head). There is a permanent noise in our head which makes that there is no more silence, there is no more peace in our head.

So already, both sectors are draining a lot of energy.

Third sector: motor activity. The problem is that we are always running. So there is an internal stress and even the motor activity, as soon as we have some free time, where do we go? We go to a gym and we push, push, push. We push rowing machines, we push weights and so on, listening to music to stimulate us, because we are already completely exhausted.

So, the energy left for detoxification! There is no more.

Yes, we have a body that works perfectly. We have a body that is perfectly constructed, perfectly elaborated, it was designed perfectly. But it was designed perfectly to respond to a certain type of solicitation in a given environment. The problem is that if you take a tool and move it from one environment to another, it can no longer function properly.

So why should we promote detoxification?

For a simple reason. First, in this day and age there has never been so much toxic input into our bodies. Secondly, there has never been so little time and attention paid to the detoxification phase. We eat all the time, we are in permanent mental agitation, we are in permanent physical agitation, there will be no more energy for detoxification.

Before going into detail about detoxification, understanding it, knowing how to regulate it, what rhythm to give, it requires the knowledge of certain principles and it is these principles that I want to share in this series "detoxification in detail".

The liver

The liver is the detoxification organ of the body. The liver is not what will allow toxins to be taken out of the body. The liver is, however, an organ, the largest organ in the body, which will take the waste and transform it so that it can be eliminated by what we call Emunctories.

This transformation will take place in two stages. These two stages will be the subject of the next article and they are essential to understand. There is what we call phase 1 and phase 2. Phase 1 takes place with oxygen and in the presence of fats, it takes place in a fatty environment and it will generate decomposition products which are sometimes even more toxic than the initial products.

Then there is phase 2, which takes place in the aqueous phase, which allows us to arrive at the final products which can then be eliminated by the kidneys. This is an interesting phenomenon to study because, as I said, phase 1, which we will study in detail in the next article, often leads to the production of toxic compounds that are even more toxic than the initial products.

For example, when you break down alcohol, phase 1 leads to the production of acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an extremely powerful neurotoxicant. If phase 1 goes well in the liver, but phase 2 does not, then you end up with large amounts of acetaldehyde in your blood.

The liver will do the detoxification and transform the products -- stage 1, stage 2. Once these products are transformed, what will happen? They are going to be directed to what we call organs of elimination. The health of these organs of elimination, which are the kidneys, the intestines, the lungs and the skin, is essential because they will condition the speed at which the products that have been transformed will be eliminated.

It is this downstream speed that will also condition the upstream functioning. If the liver starts to process the materials, but these materials accumulate, not eliminated in the body, the whole system will start to be saturated. It is this golden rule, this science of detoxification, this "miracle of detoxification" that we will see in detail in this series of articles on detoxification.

Because you have to stop being told that detoxification is bogus. No, detoxification works. Indeed, there are detoxification diets. Of course, it is the body that detoxifies itself. You can give any detoxification diet to a dead person, he won't detoxify himself.

So indeed, it is the body that detoxifies itself, but it detoxifies itself from what it finds in its environment. If it finds in its environment meals every two hours, filled with products that are difficult to digest and toxic products, it will not detoxify in the same way as if it finds only one meal a day, with organic products, little transformed, rich in active principles.

Therefore, it is indeed the body that detoxifies itself, it detoxifies itself permanently. On the other hand, it is misleading not to say that this capacity of detoxification will be completely conditioned by the environment.

And the environment, who is responsible for it? It's me and it's you. And now we can play. Here we take back our power.

If you don't want to have a warty liver, cirrhotic, with all the consequences that can follow, if you don't want to have small excrescences that develop at the level of the kidneys, if you don't want to have lungs that are completely obstructed and spit out permanently, if you want to have clean and healthy intestines, then I advise you to take an interest in this natural and perfect mechanism called detoxification, because as long as you ignore it, there is every risk that you will act against this process.

Once you know it, once you know what the body needs, then you can play with the body, in partnership.

That's all I'm suggesting, see you in the next article.

Good regeneration!

Thank you very much for sharing the article. And don't miss the next article that I will publish as soon as possible, there will be a lot of important information about the first extraordinary organ of detoxification: the liver.
