13 MAR. 2023 · All cells of every organ detoxify to some extent, but the liver is considered to be the major detoxification organ in the body. The liver uses many of the phyo- (plant) compounds found in a healthy diet to remove and transform various toxins products both within and from outside the body. Toxins are essentially substances, that when left to accumulate in the body, or are otherwise toxic and/or cancerous at any level, can contribute or cause a wide variety of health problems and disease states. There are an unknown number of toxins in our water, food and air that we are exposed to on a daily basis. Our liver is the major organ of detoxification, but the lungs, kidneys and lymphatic systems also perform detoxification functions. What is important to know that different toxins may require very different compounds and methods to successfully detoxify them. Dr. Michael Wald, in this show called, Detox Deception, uncovers the myths and facts about which detox methods work! Broccoli can detoxify many pro- or outright carcinogenic (cancer causing) compounds; raspberries detoxify some of the same and other toxic compounds. In other words, all the foods I’ve listed above, and others, should likely be combined to get the best detoxification protection. Sometimes the levels of a toxin can get too high, and a special medical detoxifier may be required. For example, toxic levels of mercury will not be removed from the body by eating broccoli, but require medical levels (not just any levels) of detoxifiers such as n-acetyl cysteine, reduced glutathione, glycine, proteins, EDTA, DMPS, DMSA and others. The blood, urine and or other tissue levels of the toxin(s) in question should be tested at intervals to make sure that one’s detoxification efforts are really working.
