Episode 48: Detoxification Part 2

The Art and Soul of Healing takes you on a journey in understanding safe detoxification. Part 2 discusses preparing the terrain - preparing the body - to safely and effectively undergo detoxification.

Today The Art and Soul of Healing delves into clearing the organic chemical toxicants from the body or how the body does that and what can be done to support the genetic, biochemical, and elimination pathways. First we discuss preparing the terrain or getting body ready to detoxify. We look at Phase I Cytochrome P450 enzymes and Phase II conjugation pathways. It is important to understand these are genetically hardwired but can be supported and made to work more effectively with nutrients from food and supplements. Testing for chemical toxicants in our bodies is presented in an overview. Next podcast will be highlighting the other group of toxicants, the heavy metals, and how to remove them with chelation by using food and pharmaceutical chelators.
