178. DETOXIFICATION PATHWAYS - Drs. Lewis, Carter, & Gamble

Whoa! Where do I start with detox? Do I do a quarterly purge? Is it all about herbs, chelating agents, vitamin C, zeolites, and clay?

Amidst the myriad of options, it's crucial to delve into the fundamental science of the detox process, empowering you to make informed choices.

As always, the beauty of detox lies in its simplicity. Our bodies are equipped with natural detox pathways, a gift from nature and God. Remember, in our body, detox is not a one-time event, but a continuous, natural process.

Now, let's delve into the two primary detox approaches that can significantly enhance our natural detoxification processes.

Support and augment our body's existing detoxification- Liver, kidney, etc.
Complement existing detoxification pathways. That is, mimic the actions of these organs.
Supporting organ function and copying their actions ARE two different things.

20:53:48 From Dr. Tom Lewis : Le Chatelier's principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change to reestablish an equilibrium. If a chemical reaction is at equilibrium and experiences a change in pressure, temperature, or concentration of products or reactants, the equilibrium shifts in the opposite direction to offset the change.
