Principles of Clinical Level Detoxification, Part 2

This post is the second in the series that outlines the most important points we need to understand in order to safely and effectively detoxify the body from both exogenous external toxins such as particulate matter and microplastics, as well as endogenous metabolic toxins such as cholesterol, glucose, and inflammation. 

This outline describes the five major sources of toxins. In most contemporary detox protocols, there is virtually no differentiation of these classes of toxins, and little knowledge of how each of them affects the body and how each of them must be addressed with different strategies. 

Five Major Sources of Toxins

Toxicity can come from five primary sources:

1. Toxins in the environment that enter the body through food, water and air
2. Medical toxins
3. Excess production of toxins within the body
4. Deficient metabolic and physiological processes increasing metabolic waste
5. Deficient elimination of normal metabolic waste

Five Major Sources of Toxins, Details

1. Toxins in the environment that enter the body through food, water and air
   1. Microplastics, particulate matter, heavy metals, endocrine disrupting compounds, radionuclides, etc
2. Medical toxins in the body
   1. Pharmaceuticals and their metabolites, dental mercury, implanted materials, radiotherapy, etc
   2. Withdrawal and detox from some classes of medications is dangerous and should only be done under medical supervision; in some cases withdrawal is not possible
      1. Medications requiring supervision include SSRI’s, steroids, blood thinners and others
3. Excess production of toxins within the body
   1. Microbial infection, parasites, inflammatory responses, hypermetabolism
   2. Secretions of mucus membranes
      1. Anatomical locations:
         1. Respiratory
         2. GI tract
         3. Genitourinary
   3. Hyperthyroid and other endocrine diseases
   4. Autoimmune inflammation affecting any organ or tissue
   5. Gastrointestinal conditions:
   1. Inflammatory Bowel Disease
4. Deficient metabolic and physiological processes increasing metabolic waste
   1. Low HCL, deficient saliva, deficient bile and pancreatic enzymes: generates toxicity in GI tract
   2. Chronic Kidney Disease with decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) increases creatinine
   3. Weak liver conditions
      1. Clinical markers and indicators:
         1. Elevated ALT (alanine transaminase) and AST (aspartate aminotransferase)
         2. High cholesterol
   4. Weak endocrine functions
      1. Metabolic disorders:
         1. Hypothyroid
         2. Diabetes, high A1C
5. Deficient elimination of normal metabolic waste
   1. Chronic constipation
   2. Bladder obstruction from UTI or prostate enlargement
   3. Reduced filtration of blood with Chronic Kidney Disease
