Body System 3: Detoxification Body System 3: Detox Decreased immune response Can occur in following situations: -artist using oil paints -welder, painter, photographer, printer -mold exposure -daily tuna consumption (mercury) Body System 2: GI Has to be optimized for absorption of nutrients needed to detox Body System 1: Hormonal Increased inflammation Cortisol runs detox pathways Healthy Living Inside and Out THE PROBLEM: We are facing an unprecedented assault on our health and the health of the environment with the generation of billions of tons of chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and petrochemical derivatives This is creating a real impact on our food and water supplies and ultimately impacts our health by damaging neuron bundles http://www. kalishresearch.com 2
Healthy Living Inside and Out THE PROBLEM ON THE INSIDE: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity and DEPRESSION are related to poor lifestyle choices and a dramatic increase in toxins in our food and water THE PROBLEM ON THE OUTSIDE: destruction of the natural environment is a direct result of poor choices in terms of industrial waste generation and disposal and burning of fossil fuels SOLUTIONS We can help the health of the planet and at the same time improve our health and well being through simple detoxification programs Health issues that respond well to detox programs: Obesity Fatigue Depression http://www. kalishresearch.com 3
What is Detoxification? Detoxification is the process of transforming fat soluble toxins into a more polar form that may then be excreted from the body. Toxins A Toxin is a substance that causes harmful effects to our body. When toxin levels are in excess of our body s capacity to remove them, toxins build up and are stored. Environmental Toxins Lifestyle Toxins Emotional Toxins Internal Toxins Metabolic reactions Intestinal microbes http://www. kalishresearch.com 4
Environmental Toxins consist of: Polluted air from factories Auto exhaust Solvents (paints, cleaning products) Heavy metals Pesticides, herbicides, insecticides Radiation Inhalants Lifestyle Toxins: Nicotine Alcohol Caffeine Recreational & prescription drugs OTC drugs Dietary choices Fast foods, fried/refined foods, high sugar foods Artificial food additives/colors/preservatives Meats that contain hormones and antibiotics http://www. kalishresearch.com 5
Internal Toxins Bacterial, yeast, fungal overgrowth By products of metabolic tbli reactions (carbon dioxide, id ammonia, hormones) Undigested food Stress (fries brain cells, remember the egg?) Unresolved trauma or abuse (experienced as a child or as an adult) Unhappy relationships Signs That Your Detoxification Capacity Might Be Impaired ANY SYMPTOM THAT HAS TO DO WITH YOUR BRAIN, memory concentration focus ADD ADHD depression fatigue overeating http://www. kalishresearch.com 6
So What can you Do? Reduce your exposure to toxins Remove some of the accumulated toxins in your body Improve the functioning of your main organs of elimination (digestive system, liver and skin) HEALTHY LIVER Toxins are correctly detoxified and consequently excreted http://www. kalishresearch.com 7
Incomplete dt detoxification ti of toxins Toxins leave the liver and are stored in tissues such as fat, the brain and the nervous system Unhealthy Liver Why should you Detoxify? To Feel lbtt Better To Improve Brain, Liver and Digestive Health To Maintain Optimum Sense of Well Being http://www. kalishresearch.com 8
Liver Detox Pathways Phase One: B Vitamins, Glutathione, Antioxidants, Vitamin C, Vitamin E Phase Two: Glycine, Taurine, Glutamine, Cysteine Which Detox Pathways are Blocked? Through the Organix Profile you can determine which detox pathways require support http://www. kalishresearch.com 9
DETOXIFICATION PATHWAYS Toxicants & Detoxification Detox Indicators (arginine, NAC, methionine, Mg, antioxidants) Abonormal levels indicate need for glutathione precursors (NAC, vitamin C) Also, taurine, cysteine, glycine etc. http://www. kalishresearch.com 10
What is Antioxidant Protection Level Organix Test shows how much this must then be balanced by appropriate antioxidant protection Basic level required, if low in anti oxidants extra support will be needed Antioxidant Levels http://www. kalishresearch.com 11
Antioxidant Levels Oxidative Damage/Antioxidants Vitamin C, E + other antioxidants C+E are easily burned through under stress of detox programs, need to support Two Types of Supplement Protocols You can use both supportive supplements that help liver function improve Coupled with detoxification products that will stimulate the body to dump toxins out of storage Balance these two approaches: Basic Rule, Do No Harm http://www. kalishresearch.com 12
Test for Presence of Heavy Metals 6 8 Hour Challenge Test with DMSA Detects Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, Cadmium etc. http://www. kalishresearch.com 13
Heavy Metal Detox Programs Kinder, gentler versions, apple pectin fiber, chlorella, antioxidants, liver support products More aggressive approach DMSA use carefully Main Issues What Detoxification Pathways Are Blocked? What Anti oxidant Protection Does the Patient Require Tying the patients symptoms back to the detox issue: FOCUS ON NEURON BUNDLE DAMAGE http://www. kalishresearch.com 14
Impact on the Brain Based on my clinical experience a common underlying cause of weight gain, fatigue and depression includes neurotransmitter dysfunction as a direct result of neuro toxin exposure Neurotransmitter dysfunction can result from nutritional deficiencies and neurotoxicity Neurotoxicity Neurotoxicity is a leading cause of depression, fatigue and weight gain. Neurotoxicity refers to damage to the neuron bundles in the brain from neurotoxic drugs; neurotoxic pesticides and herbicides; heavy metals such as mercury and lead. When you really think about how neurotoxic our food and water supply has become, it is amazing we can be happy or think at all! http://www. kalishresearch.com 15
Neurotoxins Neurotoxins destroy the firing capacity of neuron bundles. This leaves us with neuron bundles that do not conduct the nerve impulses we require to feel happy and at peace. Therefore we experience the results of low serotonin and low dopamine, namely, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, brain fog, poor memory and a general lack of enthusiasm for living life to its fullest; we become depressed.
