Toxicant Load  Toxicants require transport proteins and other intermediary binding proteins for solubility.  They must compete for these transport and binding proteins with other biological agents such as:  Hormones  Lipids  Ions  Medications © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Toxicant Load  A toxicant may exert its toxic load by either:  Displacing Biologically Active Agents from Transport and Binding Proteins.  Being Displaced from Transport and Binding Proteins by other Biologically Active Agents. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Movement Through Compartments  Toxicants, like other biological agents, effectively leap-frog from compartment to compartment by grabbing and releasing protein matrix structures until dynamic equilibrium is established. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Nuclear Matrix Proteins  There is an intricate network of non-nucleotide fibers that act as a scaffolding for chromatin.  This nuclear protein scaffold forms what is called the nuclear matrix. matrix  These and other epigenetic mechanisms are toxicant targets. targets Genome Biol. 2008 Jan 22;9(1):201. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Loop Domains  NMP or Matrix Attachment Regions (MARs) organize chromatin strands into Loop Domains.  Loop Domains are regions of DNA code that are active. active  Other regions of non- looped DNA code Hum Mol Genet. 2009 Feb 15;18(4):645-54. are dormant sequences. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg.

All Right Reserved.

Compartmental Nutrient Depletion  During Compartmental Dysregulation, nutrients are reallocated across compartmental barriers in an effort to maintain homeostasis. homeostasis  This occurs in an effort to detoxify and repair damage.  There is an increased need for:  Inorganic Cofactors  Organic Coenzymes  Exogenous Antioxidants © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

High Nutritional Demand  Compartmental Dysregulation and attempts to detoxify and normalize compartmental function places a high demand on nutritional resources.  As metabolic demand rises, so does the compartmental demand for micronutrients.  Remember, vitamins and minerals activate enzyme systems. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Compartmental Nutrient Depletion  As nutrient resources are strained in any given matrix compartment, nutrients are siphoned from surrounding compartments.  This leads to partial metabolism of xenobiotics and the build-up of many precursor metabolites. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Adding Insult to Injury  In an attempt to “do the right thing” by many well intentioned individuals and health practitioners prescribe synthetic vitamins, devitalized “foods” and fasting regimes. regimes  The fractionated vitamins and devitalized foods only serve to magnify compartmental nutrient deficiencies with the further build up of toxins.  Fasting fails to provide the necessary nutrients that drive the enzyme systems for optimal detoxification, repair, and rebuilding of tissues. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

 The Broeg Detox Method follows a simple formula of:  Tissue Matrix Cleansing  Repairing Damaged Tissues  Restoring Functional Balance  Regaining Vitality and Clarity © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Importance of Detoxification  The fact is that tough diseases cannot heal until the body has unloaded its burden of stockpiled, disease- causing chemicals. chemicals Sherry Rogers, MD. Detoxify or Die. 2002. p. 179. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Tissue Matrix Cleansing  Cleansing the tissue matrix compartments of pharmaceuticals, toxicants and other bioaccumulated xenobiotics is the first step toward health. health  Cleansing requires:  Elimination of novel toxic insult  Extraction of old toxicants © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg.

Extraction of Old Toxicants  The outer compartments reduce their burden of toxicants first, by first moving their toxicants through the organs of elimination: elimination  Skin  Liver and Kidney  Lungs and Colon © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Extraction of Old Toxicants  Inner compartments, by the process of diffusion, pass their diffusion toxicants to the more superficial compartments and ultimately through the organs of elimination. elimination © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Xenobiotic Extraction Extensive clinical experience has demonstrated that xenobiotic compounds can be withdrawn from the matrix compartments by enhancing perfusion. Perfusion is enhanced by the following:  Dry sauna diaphoresis  Niacin induced vasodilation © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Role of Sauna Induced HSPs  Dry sauna induced HSPs serve two roles during tissue detoxification:  Parenchymal tissue conservation  Immune mediated matrix purification © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Tissue Toxicant Mobilization  The introduction of heat enhances the rate of tissue metabolism which mobilizes tissue embedded toxicants. toxicants Crit Care Med. 2009 Oct;37(10 Suppl):S384-90. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Toxicant Transport  Once tissue embedded toxicants are loosened and mobilized from their matrix constraints, constraints they must be transported to the organs of excretion for removal. J Toxicol Environ Health A. 2009;72(2):88-93. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Passing the Toxic Baton  During the detoxification process, toxicants are passed like a baton in a relay race from the deep nuclear compartment to the vascular compartment where it is carried to the detoxifying epithelium of the skin, lungs, kidneys and bowel. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Enhancing Toxicant Transport  Toxicant removal is enhanced by opening up the irrigation channels and providing a clear, unobstructed path for elimination.  This is facilitated through the vasodilating effects of niacin. niacin Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol. 2008;48:79-106. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg.

The Broeg Detox Synergy The dry sauna produces a synergistic effect with the niacin that enhances xenobiotic removal from deep within the matrix compartments. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Hepatic Xenobiosis  Many of the mobilized tissue toxicants are filtered through the liver where they undergo Phase I and II detoxification reactions. J Environ Sci Health B. 2009 Aug;44(6):553-63. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Reversal of Symptoms and Signs  As toxicants are withdrawn from tissues, symptoms and signs of previous “illnesses” present themselves in what is often referred to as the “healing crisis” or “Hering's Law of Cure.” Constantine Hering. Materia Medica. 1888. © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.

Repairing Tissue Damage  Repairing tissue damage is another key component to the Broeg Method that is often overlooked by other programs. programs  We accomplish this with:  Whole food diet  Non-fractionated dietary supplements © 2009, 2010 Dr. Michael Broeg. All Right Reserved.
