| Why The Body Becomes Toxic |
The human body becomes toxic or polluted from both external (exogenous) sources
and internal (endogenous) sources. The most common external pathways of toxicity are
from inhalation (smoking, air pollution, dental amalgam fillings, sick buildings), ingestion
(chemical residues on food, chemicals in water, drugs) injection (vaccinations, flu shots,
tattoos), absorption (chemicals from synthetic fabrics, paints, plastics, pesticides and
chemical fertilizers sprayed on lawns) and irradiation (medical x-rays, nuclear power plants,
bomb testing, uranium mine tailings, cell phones and towers, computer monitors and
televisions, microwave ovens, and power grid and radio and satellite transmissions). The
internal sources of toxicity are from fermentation, putrification, and rancidity from
undigested foods consumed, and from dehydration, malnutrition, and toxic thoughts and
emotions. This endogenous toxicity can also be caused from the effects of exogenous
toxins contributing to malnutrition, and inhibition of digestion through damage to the
nervous system, immune system, and enzyme systems.
There are 70,000 chemicals being used in commercial production in the US. The EPA has
classified 65,000 of them potentially, if not definitely hazardous to human health. Over 6,000
new chemicals are tested in the US each week! Three thousand chemicals have been
identified as intentionally added to food supplies and over 700 in drinking water. During
food processing and storage, more than 10,000 other compounds can become an integral
part of many commonly used foods. One of the major symptoms of chemical toxicity seems to
be a breakdown of the immune function, which encourages all kinds of symptoms in the
body. Another major symptom is damage to the nervous system and nervousness. We aren't
rewarded immediately with good health and radiant well-being as soon as we change our
"evil ways." The vast increase of chemicals in our environment, foods and medicines has
greatly altered the body's ability to rid itself of toxins. Often, the recovery of health and
improvement of the diet cause unpleasant symptoms. People truly seeking health have to
decide to sacrifice their old comfortable diet patterns and habits to be rewarded by good
health. It doesn't take long before they discover that after improving their diet, they
sometimes feel much worse (temporarily). A common complaint is, "Do I really have to go
through that?" They're going through what is called detoxification. Poor health and illness is
progressive; it does not occur overnight. Good health and well being is also progressive; it
may take weeks, months, or years.
The Liver
The liver is one of the most important organs in the body when it comes to detoxifying or
getting rid of foreign substances or toxins. Glutathione, the most abundant sulfhydryl in the
body, functions to chelate and detoxify heavy metals; mercury and lead have also been
shown to combine or complex with glutathione. Once complexed together, the bile becomes
a major route used by the body to excrete the complex, thereby reducing the amount of
glutathione available. The primary source of the sulfur portion of cysteine is methionine.
Cysteine cannot be taken up by hepatocytes (liver cells) easily, whereas methionine is taken
up more readily, and is then metabolized into S-adenosylmethionine, homocysteine,
cystathione, and cysteine. Cancer cells utilize methionine in order to grow and proliferate.
Cancer or tumor dependence on methionine for growth is an artificial condition, brought
about by some earlier failure in the transsulfuration and transmethylation pathways.
Therefore, if the availability of methionine is reduced, not only will the capability of the liver
to detoxify be impaired, but there will also be less glutathione available to complex with
foreign substances. Studies have demonstrated that a deficiency of methionine can, in
itself, cause liver cancer without the presence of a carcinogen, and also that the deficiency
of methionine can permit a heavy metal to cause toxic effects.
The Colon
The colon is the sewer of your body. If it's not cleansed, the waste from head to toes can't
get out. According to some estimates, about 70 million Americans suffer from bowel
problems. These statistics cover only those people whose problems are severe enough to
cause them to consult a medical doctor. The body's tissues won't eliminate wastes unless
the colon is working. The bodily systems are connected. When the colon is cleaned out, the
body will start pulling poisons out from everywhere, because it can. Wastes from the colon
can leak out and pollute other organs. Other organs can be treated with natural
methods--with only partial results--because these organs keep getting re-infected or
re-irritated by poisons from the colon. The impacted colon creates diverticulosis which are
herniations or pockets in the wall of the colon that contain fecal matter. If it stays in there
long enough, it will leak into your body and cause what is called auto-intoxication. These
diverticula cannot usually be detected inside the colon with colonoscopy, but on the
outside of the colon where you can't see. The bowel pockets leak pus, blood, and fecal
matter back into the bloodstream.
When the body is toxic, the cells cannot receive nutrients from the blood because the
interstitial fluid surrounding the cells is plugged-up with wastes from sluggish lymphatics.
This internal poisoning also causes mental depression and morbid thoughts. It's a vicious
cycle--one condition feeding the other like a dog chasing its tail. Most people, instead of
cleaning out their colons use incense, air wicks, underarm deodorants, foot powder,
mouthwash, toothpaste, breath fresheners, perfumed sprays and colognes to cover up their
stink because they are filled with impacted fecal matter. If the colon doesn't get cleansed,
the other organs can't cleanse their waste. If a person can't get the bowels cleaned out,
even if they clean the plaque out of the arteries--it's going to go back into the body. They'll
just re-absorb it. Unless they clean out the colon, they will never regain vibrant health.
The Kidneys
The principle task of the kidney is to preserve the volume and composition of the
extracellular fluid constant. This it must do despite a varying outside environment, and
varying input. A part of this task--but only a part--is to remove from the body some of the
waste by-products of metabolism which the cells cannot break down further. Thus the
principal function of the kidney is not excretion, but regulation. We can move and live on
dry land, even though we are three-quarters water, and survive; our cells tucked away in a
carefully preserved ocean of extracellular fluid, whose composition is guarded with
exquisite accuracy by the kidneys, a major part of our life-support system in this hostile
environment. We can roam into deserts, and (usually) survive, or drink a six-pack of beer, or
starve, or gorge, but essentially the extracellular soup remains of a constant composition,
and because of this, the composition of the cells themselves is constant.
The kidney is less in control of the intracellular water, since if the kidneys do their job
adequately, each cells is largely autonomous, and will extract and eject what it needs or
does not need from the extracellular fluid. The kidney conserves what we need, but even
more, it permits us the freedom of excess. That is, it allows us to take in more than we need
of many necessities--water and salt for example--and excretes exactly what is not required.
This is essential, since neither our ancestors nor we, animal or human know the
composition of the foods we eat, and the only way to ensure a sufficiency of everything is to
eat an excess of at least some. Finally, the kidneys preserve the volume of our body fluids
as well as their composition. Given that we're almost ¾ water, quite simply weighing oneself
each day can assess the precision with which the kidney achieves this.
Despite variations in diet, exercise or fluid intake, the figures remain constant. The kidney
performs its tasks, with a precision of as good as 1% and never worse than 5%, under
extremely varying circumstances. If the kidneys fail suddenly, death occurs after a few days,
partly because some of the accumulated metabolic waste products are toxic to the heart,
which stops. More interesting, is the way in which the kidney can adapt to slow destruction
by dysfunction, so that one can survive on as little as 5% of overall kidney function. The
kidney has greater reserve capacity in the face of disorder than (for example) the heart or
the lungs.
Lymphatic System
Nearly 80% of your total body weight is water. One-third of your body fluid is extracellular,
meaning that it's outside the cells. But only 12% of your body fluid is blood and 62% of your
bodily fluid is inside the cells. What that means is that 36% of your fluid is lymph. Lymph is
the fluid that surrounds all the cells. It is the cell's environment. There's 3-times more lymph
fluid in the body than blood. Not all cells are surrounded by water. Bone minerals surround
the bone cells. But all cells depend directly on extracellular water for food. The lymph fluid
through minute channels feeds even bone cells. When waste material leaves the body cells,
the two circulating body fluids, the blood and the lymph carry it away. The lymph is formed
out of the blood but contains no red blood cells. Each cell in the body is bathed by the
interstitial fluid, which consists of material from the bloodstream together with substances
passed out of the cells. About 90% of the water and small molecules entering the interstitial
fluid from the bloodstream are reabsorbed by local blood vessels. The remaining 10% of the
water and small molecules plus the protein, other large molecules, and particles in the
interstitial fluid collect in a network of tiny vessels.
The lymph vessels combine into larger ducts that eventually empty back into the blood
stream. The lymph vessels contain one-way valves and are lined with muscle tissue that
pumps the lymph through these valves. Because the lymphatic system carries away toxins
from all body cells, its proper functioning is important to the health of the entire body.
Lymph is filled with nutrients on their way to the cells, waste products thrown off by the cells
hormones, and enzymes. Leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, antibodies and other white
blood cells are able to travel wherever water exists. Just as the air around your body is in
motion constantly, the lymph fluid that surrounds the cells is also in constant motion. Cells
are able to function better with fresh lymph fluid filled with the proper concentrations of
hydrogen, oxygen, glucose and all other nutrients. Valves exist in all lymph channels. In the
large lymphatics, valves exist every few millimeters, and in the smaller lymphatics, the
valves are much closer than this. Motion pictures of exposed lymph vessels show that
when a lymph vessel becomes stretched with fluid, the smooth muscles in the wall of the
vessel automatically contract.
Furthermore, each segment of the lymph vessel between successive valves functions as a
separate automatic pump. That is, the filling of a segment causes it to contract and the fluid
is pumped through the valve to the next lymph segment. This fills the subsequent segment
and a few seconds later, it too contracts. The process continues all along the lymphatic
system until the fluid is finally emptied back into the blood stream from the thoracic duct
into the vena cava right underneath the collarbones. When fresh supplies replace the
waste products of cells--the toxins, bacteria viruses, poisons, trash and debris--cells are
healthier, and so are you. The removal of proteins from the interstitial spaces is an
absolutely essential function, without which we would die with 24 hours. The colon is the
principal organ through which mucoid matter from the lymph is eliminated.
When the lymphatic system becomes extremely full of mucoid material, a pressure is created
that is felt all over the body. It starts as a tension in the muscles that becomes an aching of
the muscles as the pressure increases. One function of a fever is to thin the lymph mucoid,
improving its ability to flow and to pass through the walls of the colon. All lymph-purifying
influences reduce fever by lessening the necessity for using fever to thin the lymph. If the
colon cannot perform the necessary rate of purification of the lymph, then the body uses the
liver to do the work instead. The toxins taken up by the liver are excreted as part of the bile.
When the flow of bile becomes excessive, bile backs up into the stomach, and the result is
nausea. Most grasses are lymph purifiers, which is why animals eat grass when sick. Now we
can see how problems can originate when the colon becomes clogged. When this happens,
waste material gets backed up into the lymphatic system. As this process continues, waste
material backs up into the body tissues and disease can result. This process can affect any
body part because the lymphatic system serves all body cells.
