 To get that detoxification effect you need to have enough of it. I decided I was going to get some powder. Then everyone was worried about dealing with powder, and it is kind of messy. It is green and I love it. If I have a green mustache it's all right with me.
Mike: Better that than a milk mustache.
Dr. Liers: That is right, much better. We started taking huge amounts, and I think we all experienced detoxification. My wife got very itchy in her skin, and she had worked in pathology labs and pipetted radioactive materials, and maybe that is a reason she was chemically sensitive. |
| Chlorella is really, at least in my opinion, one of the most potent detoxification nutrients available in the world. Can you talk about your knowledge of chlorella in that context?
Dr. Liers: I agree with you, and I think detox can come about in a number of ways. Chlorophyll could be a detoxifier that will pull things out that might kill viruses that sequester the heavy metals, for example. |
| We started taking huge amounts, and I think we all experienced detoxification. My wife got very itchy in her skin, and she had worked in pathology labs and pipetted radioactive materials, and maybe that is a reason she was chemically sensitive. Chlorella makes her feel wonderful, but you can see the skin breaks out for some period and a lot of people say, "Oh I am breaking out."
Well, in Japan they tell people to expect this, and it is not going to be when you first take it, probably because it has a building effect. |
| Multi-generational chemical toxicities
Mike: Let me ask you a deeper question with the detoxification of chemicals and the role that micronutrients and micro-algae nutrients, like chlorella and CGF, can play in that; there is an increasing awareness now that the chemical burden on our population is multi-generational.
The epigenetic factors are starting to be recognized, and we are realizing that the toxic load of someone today is passed on through multiple generations. |

 Tea polyphenols support the liver's enzyme detoxification system, which eliminates free radicals and toxins from the body
The liver is without a doubt the biggest gun in our bodies' detoxification arsenal. The liver is the largest internal organ, weighing in at about three pounds. It is red-brown in color, roughly cone-shaped, and seated in the upper right corner of the abdominal cavity. The liver performs several important functions for the body, such as storing extra glucose as glycogen, regulating levels of amino acids in the blood, and producing important proteins for blood plasma. |

 Calcium D-Glucarate
Calcium D-glucarate is a natural substance that promotes the body's detoxification process and supports hormonal balance. Calcium D-glucarate facilitates the detoxification process by inhibiting the reabsorption of estrogen-like toxins into the bloodstream, allowing them to leave the body and be excreted in the feces.

Calcium D-glucarate has been found to lower unhealthy-estrogen levels in animals and thereby inhibit the development or progression of cancer.
þ TAKE 1,000 MG OF CALCIUM D-GLUCARATE TWICE DAILY. |

 The failing detoxification of the thyroid gland results in thyrotoxicosis.
High toxicity in the thyroid gland often causes cardiac arrhythmia, which is a serious heart condition, one from which I suffered when I was a child. The heart simply becomes overstressed as it tries to supply extra oxygen and nutrients to the hyperactive body cells. Related symptoms include abnormal weight loss, muscle wasting and weakness, excessive heat production, redness of the chest, neck and face, and hyperactivity of the nervous system. |

 Selenium is needed for regulating certain powerful enzymes in the body, the glutathione peroxidase enzymes, which figure prominently in various detoxification pathways. And selenium has antiinflammatory properties as well. Supplemental selenium can help protect against Kashin-Beck disease, a form of arthritis that afflicts many people in China and other parts of Asia who live in selenium-deficient areas.
Then there are toxic metals like mercury. |

 Bacterial flora in the large intestine, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, improve the transit time of bowel toxins, as well as improving the excretion and detoxification of estrogens. Women on a vegetarian diet excrete two to three times more detoxified estrogens than women on an omnivorous diet.

| Glutathione is absolutely central to keeping the liver healthy and helping it to do its many jobs, including detoxification. SAMe is seriously depleted in liver disease and has been shown in research to improve liver-function tests. And remember methylation (see page 309)? SAMe's outstanding properties as a methylating agent help keep liver membranes fluid. Anyone with liver disease or problems, such as hepatitis, should consider SAMe as an adjunct to treatment. |
| Folk wisdom says it's useful for heartburn, arthritis, lowering blood pressure, aiding digestion, fighting yeast infections, detoxification, allergies, and even for weight loss. Proponents claim it helps boost immunity. Does it do all these things? Maybe. There's good reason to believe it is highly alkalizing to the system, and since most of us are way too "acidic," this alkalizing (balancing) effect alone could be responsible for some of the many health effects people observe. (For an explanation of those terms, see sidebar at right. |
| These phytonutrients act as antioxidants and, according to Gittleman, provide nutritional support for the detoxification pathways in the body.
The rich phytonutrient content of both cranberries and cranberry juice has been borne out by research and may have an awful lot of benefits that go beyond relief from urinary tract infection. In one study, biochemist Yuegang Zuo, Ph.D., from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, showed that cranberry juice cocktail had the highest total phenol content of twenty fruit juices tested. (Phenolic compounds are natural antioxidants. |
| Do a periodic detoxification. There are dozens of ways to do this, using just raw foods, lightly steamed vegetables, broths, fresh vegetable juice, medical foods like Metagenics Ultra-Clear, or any O combination thereof. Many excellent g books give details. One of my favorites is n The New Detox Diet by my friend, Elson jo Haas, M.D. 1/1

| While higher protein diets are found to provide enzymes for the detoxification pathways of estradiol,57 vegetarian diets are of greater value due to their lower fat content. Animal protein diets, especially egg yolks, poultry, and red meat, contain large amounts of arachidonic acid, which promotes inflammatory prostaglandins and thus inflammation and pain. By enhancing your diet with vegetable protein, soy, almond and other nut butters, and salmon, you tip the inflammatory pathway toward anti-inflammatory prostaglandins that inhibit tumor growth—and possibly endometrial growth. |

| Some practitioners recommend taking a few capsules or tablets on an empty stomach to support gut health and detoxification. And more fiber in your diet— always a good idea—promotes the elimination of toxins from the body.
Since highly processed foods loaded with bad fats and sugar can contribute to digestive problems (and to bad breath), the more whole foods you can incorporate into your diet the

 Many individuals exposed to environmental chemicals, pesticides, and polychlo-rinated biphenyls and their byproducts have benefited from a detoxification program that used niacin to encourage detoxification.
Other Conditions: Niacin has been found helpful for many other diseases or conditions, including learning and behavioral disorders among children, alcoholism and drug addiction, some of the senile states, absorption problems, and Huntington's disease. It is also a good antidote against d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) intoxication. |
| Detoxification: detoxification simply means enhanced excretion of chemicals and their metabolites in urine and feces, and the facilitation of excretion through the sweat or sebum (a fatty secretion of the sebaceous glands of the skin). There are numerous published reports that have shown niacin to be an extremely valuable agent for the mobilization of stored xenobiotics (foreign toxins) from fatty tissues in the body. |

| Several analyses of the locations on the genes that are shared by siblings indicate abnormalities in detoxification enzymes. This would lead to susceptibilities to environmental exposures to substances that could then lead to the increase in the disease. Other insights have included that the genes involved are associated with tumor suppressor genes. If these tumor suppressor genes are affected, there is susceptibility to abnormal tissue growth, such as the endometriosis. |

| And drinking sufficient amounts of fresh water ensures that the body remains hydrated and that detoxification can take place smoothly and efficiently.
Lastly, as shocking as this may sound in today's drugs-for-everything medical world, a new study suggests that doctors of 2,500 years ago knew the secret to stopping a lot of serious infections: bloodletting! Bloodletting is effective against the staphylococcus bacteria, a leading cause of pneumonia and other life-threatening ailments, according to some recent University of Chicago research. |

| If the second detoxification pathway is dysfunctional, the metabolic products of the first pathway build up and can become even more toxic, decreasing immune response and accumulating as oxygen free radicals. These metabolites can cause tissue injury and formation of adhesions.53 Healthy elimination of these metabolites assures that the body doesn't get a chance to reabsorb them.
Nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyle practices play a preventive role in providing immune support and a healthy body's response to added stressors and imbalances of hormones. |

| Its early morning cycle is responsible for moving the body's waste products from the liver, the cells, the intestines and all other areas of the body toward the organs and systems of detoxification and elimination. Accordingly, the lymphatic system neutralizes harmful microbes, metabolic wastes, cellular debris, worn-out cells and cells damaged by disease. The rectum solidifies fecal matter and prompts the emptying of the bowel. The kidneys pass urine to the bladder, which causes urination. The skin also receives waste products that begin to surface at this time. |
