Detoxification
Detoxification is a serious procedure that deserves exacting attention and testing. Drinking fruit juices and eating alkaline foods is not only misleading, but may not provoke adequate detoxification. The nutritional detox process can only be accomplished with doctors who understand the cellular detox process (involving cytochrome P450 enzymes, etc.). Specific nutritional factors are needed for cellular detox (and may not be found in the healthy foods one is consuming), but as importantly, detox efforts must be based on the specific toxins to be removed. Different detoxifying agents are required for different metals and for bacterial, fungal or parasitic endotoxins, for example. Detox must further consider genetics, lifestyle, personal health history, absorption issues and possibly many other factors. The concept of acid/alkaline is also largely misunderstood by both the lay public and by health professionals. In short, to be more alkaline is a meaningless statement as the mouth should be alkaline, the stomach acidic, the small intestines alkaline, the venous blood slightly higher than neutral, etc., etc. Please allow us to help guide you through the important and essential process of detoxification.
