Sensitive To Detox?

Due to the presence of weak links in the chain of reactions involved in the continuous elimination of toxins from:

1. Cells

2. Organs

Enhancing one or a few links at a time can potentially overload other steps in the detoxification process that have not been simultaneously improved. Your current approach might be effective or could be effective if executed in a different sequence, addressing the weakest links first to prevent bottlenecks or pressure build-ups. It is essential to understand the entire detoxification system and identify the areas that require attention.

First, what are the symptoms of weak links in the detox process?

• Reactions like feeling tired
• Brain fog: toxins remaining in your blood going to your brain, rather than being filtered out through the liver or kidneys.
• Insomnia: waking up in the middle of the night or sleep problems in general can be related to toxicity in the brain or liver/gallbladder irritation. In Chinese medicine, the diagnosis of sleep can be a liver GB problem.
• Constipation: toxicity not moving out that can back up into your lymph system and muscles as it seeks a way out through the skin, even though it might not make it out.
• Diarrhea: toxicity not bound to something can be irritating and trigger bowell flushes.  
• Skin rashes.  Too many toxins move out of the skin instead of the main channel of the liver dumping into the bowels. Some detoxification through the skin is inevitable if it’s the shortest route out, but you want to minimize it so your face is not breaking out all the time or itching uncomfortably.
• Inflammation, like back pain, can be kidney overload on top of a spinal hip alignment problem that can make that a weak point.
• Health is getting worse as you mobilize toxins that then redistributed to more vulnerable areas because they run into bottlenecks and get stuck.

The levels of the system are:

1. Every cell of your body because cells have detox systems. (Inside or intra-cellular)
2. Organs that all relate as a system—this is easier to visualize as a “drainage system.” 

​(Extracellular or cellular matrix the liquids of lymph, blood, bile, feces, and urine that move it out.)

Nutrition for Every Cell

• The right diet for you
• Check for all deficiencies, excesses and allergies in the categories of protein, fats, carbs, minerals, vitamins, probiotics, sunlight, etc.
• Extra Detox Nutrients:  selenium, zinc, iodine, silica, b12, folate, etc., are important to detoxification and energize the body at the same time so you are more likely to tolerate detox as you are working with the body. Not necessarily in a supplement, food first when possible.

Detox is a bodily function of normal cell functioning, not just an external medical procedure. The nutritional approach is gentle, whereas aggressive cellular detox is often done best after extracellular detox and organ “drainage” is going smoothly, and will start to occur naturally. Drain the extracellular swamp and focus on organs.<

Bowels and Constipation

At the extracellular and organ level beginning with clearing the exit is logical so things are not backed up with constipation.
 
One popular but superficial remedy for constipation is magnesium, which works because it irritates the gut and is not absorbed. So you need another form of magnesium if you are magnesium deficient because you only partially absorb that one.

Diarrhea And Binders

Relieving diarrhea is necessary so you can hold onto your nutrients longer for digestion and basic nutrition.
 
Some kind of binder can stop diarrhea and recirculation of toxins especially if you have a leaky gut. There are many possibilities: clay, charcoal, zeolite, pectin, cheese, etc. to find one or a few that are individually compatible.

Bile Flow

A key root cause of irregularity is the lack of bile flow that stimulates bile flow and also helps kill pathogens that create diarrhea.
 
Bile from the liver exits into the hepatic duct and through the gallbladder into the upper small intestine.
 
Bile is needed to digest fat and excrete toxins. When bile flow is weak toxins can flow back into the blood from the liver to create detox sensitivity. Dr. Christopher Shade has explained this and I have written and posted about it.

Detox Pathways

Detox pathways in the liver that are increased while not increasing bile flow can result in detox reactions and distribution back into the blood. These detox pathways also occur in every cell but are more concentrated in the liver.
 
This is not a chemistry lesson, it is a strategy session in the form of a list of points to cover in practice, 
The objective is to get all the nutrients to feed these pathways. But many people need a minimum level of understanding or they won’t do it. I stick to a minimum for brain-fogged and chronically fatigued people.
 
I focus on what you need, not always why because there are too many whys: in terms of the dozens of beneficiary chemical reactions and symptoms that are solved by intervening at the root cause level, that is why. This is not A to B, “What do I take for my X?” “This for that.” It cannot become that simplistic without trivializing everything.
 
The Glutathione Antioxidant pathway is considered the major one that actually works with other antioxidants to recycle each other as Lester Packard explains, yet this is rarely addressed systematically so I will outline some details since I have created my own system.
 
Glutathione, C, E, CoQ10, and alpha lipoic acid (ALA) are the “anti-oxidant network” that help utilize each other. There are experts that focus on each in a specialized manner whether it is C, glutathione, or ALA, that have trouble optimizing each alone outside the system in which they operate.
 
What form of glutathione or its precursors can be individually specific, so I can’t get into it now.  You could fail because you took glutathione in the wrong form or outside of the network to utilize it fully.
 
You don’t necessary need to take all of these nutrients as supplements or in foods-- that should be individually tested. ALA is especially difficult to supplement with and not advised for all in the beginning. One of my original objectives was how to tolerate ALA better and I have a few pages on that here. 
 
Glucuronidation is another pathway to detox chemicals, such as hormones, but not just hormones.
 
Sulfation. Sulfur, sulphate compounds and the miraculous sulforophane. A direct source of sulphates is Epsom salts. MSM sulphur also builds this pathway.
 
Sufloxidation involves molybdenum to convert sulphites into useful sulphates.
 
Acetylation requires B5 and C, just an illustration of how if you focus on basic nutrients the complex chemistry is addressed, you don’t have to see everything in a lab report.
 
Methylation
B12, folates, TMG, you don’t necessarily need to take all these supplements, and the Methylation SNPs lab interpretation and prescriptions are overrated. They just jump to that without evaluating the other pathways and not knowing how to use supplements or foods that have damaged some people.
 
Amino Acid Conjugation
Meat protein sources are important for detox despite the ideology of fruits and vegetables are for “cleansing.”
 
Nfr 2. Is a regulatory mechanism to coordinate detox processes across three phases of live detox that lead to the excretion of the bile.
 
Melatonin pathway
Some say melatonin is more important than glutathione as an antioxidant. Both are found in every cell. Melatonin that is utilizable is primarily produced when stimulated by natural light in the eyes. Sun exposure first thing in the morning sets up melatonin production and all of the circadian rhythms that affect all biochemical physics processes.
