Why Detoxify
The process of bodily accumulation and storage of toxins is known as “toxic bio-accumulation”. Though the predominate
storage site in the body is the fatty tissue, toxins may re-enter the bloodstream during times of physical stress (i.e.. illness,
fasting, excessive heat, exercise) or emotional stress. Every organ that is accessible to these chemicals, which have been
mobilized or released from the fat, is being continually exposed at low levels. As stated by Dr. William L. Marcus, Senior
Advisor and Chief Toxicologist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “It’s a chronic exposure. That’s why chemicals
like dioxin, even in small amounts, are extremely dangerous. Unfortunately the human body has no previous experience
with these chemicals and there is no natural machinery in the body to break them down, much less eliminate them.
Human accumulation of such compounds as DDT, PCP, PCB, and dioxin, reect biologically persistent chemicals which are
partitioned in the body from water into lipids. Eventually the metabolizing of xenobiotics (chemicals foreign to the biological
system) leads to the accumulation of the chemicals and/or their products in lipid deposits throughout the body, particularly
in adipose tissue. The simple chemistry involved in this process can be illustrated by the fact that some chemicals readily
dissolve in water, whileothers dissolve only in oil bases. Oil soluble chemicals therefore have a tendency to accumulate in
body fatty tissue or lipids, which are also insoluble in water. There is no such thing as a fat “cell”...[rather] almost every cell
has a fat component. The brain has a high fat content as does virtually every organ.
Directly or indirectly, toxic residues nd there way into our air, food and water supplies. The net eect of this ecological
overload is to alter the body’s balance or “homeostasis”. This interference with our natural biological tendencies to restore
internal balance, results in “disease” in one form or another. According to Professor Edward J. Calabrese of the University
of Massachusetts, and author of Pollutants and High RiskGroups, “It is this homeostatic process which neutralizes the
pollutant’s eect and returns the system to equilibrium.”
Marshall Mandell, MD, nationally renowned in the eld of bio-ecologic medicine, wrote in a recent publication that the inux
of chemicals in our society today “has resulted in a lowered threshold of resistance and subsequent inability to cope with
the natural and unnatural environment due to altered body metabolism, enzyme dysfunction, nutritional deciencies, and
hormonal imbalances.” Health depends on the balance of both external and internal environmental forces.
In response to the above facts, many health care practitioners have been recommending a vast array of detoxication
programs. Circulating toxins and toxic bowels need proper cleansing. The removal of these toxins is relatively well known.
When toxins are deposited in fat storage sites this becomes much more complicated. The only way to remove toxins from
the fat storage sites is to mobilize the toxic fat. Heat-stress [of a sauna] is an eective method of removing fat-stored toxins
from the body.
