Detoxification is the body's natural process of eliminating toxins through the liver, kidneys, and intestines. The document discusses the importance of detoxification for health as well as common methods used across cultures throughout history. Modern lifestyle exposures like chemicals, heavy metals, and drugs introduce a high toxic burden that the body's detox pathways must work to clear. Following a detox program can help alleviate symptoms of toxicity and improve overall health and wellness. The document provides an overview of the science behind detoxification and offers natural support methods to help tune up the body's detoxification pathways.

8. The science
behind
detoxification
UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF YOUR LIVER AND OTHER
BODY ORGANS

9. Phase 1:
Oxidation – Reduction
All substances ingested must first go through
phase 1 detoxification in the liver to be
converted into a more water-soluble form.
Phase 2:
Conjugation
The oxidized end products are conjugated
with charged compounds, making
compounds even more water soluble and
ready fo elimination.

Compounds are transported out of cells and moved into the kidneys urinary system, or liver’s biliary
system. During this phase toxins are eliminated from the body through urine and feces.

toxicity levels than traditional pesticides.

ALCOHOL
Chronic heavy alcohol consumption is known to
cause liver damage and increase risk of many
