I Love Lucy can teach us about detoxing

                                                                                                                                        

There are over 500 new toxins released into the environment every day which puts a huge burden on our detox system and goes beyond our genetic potential.  The liver is responsible for filtering and cleaning up our bodies in three phases much like the chocolate factory episode of I Love Lucy.                                                                                                                                              

Phase 1 captures the environmental toxins and converts them into a safer, gentler version and sends them down the conveyor belt to phase 2 for safe wrapping.  Remember the popular I Love Lucy scene where she is wrapping chocolates in the chocolate factory and just can't keep up?  Chocolates are coming down the belt so fast she starts shoving them in her mouth just to get them off the conveyor belt.  Lucy's desperate measure to catch up with the speeding conveyor belt is too overwhelming and the candy quickly piles up faster then she can get them wrapped (phase 2) or shove them into her mouth and the candy falls to the floor making a horrible mess.  Phase 1 running at this high-speed creates a lot of mess (oxidative damage) and when the chocolates (toxins) fall and hit the floor with no wrapping they make a mess, which resembles what free radicals do to the liver.  Antioxidants are required to broom up the mess.  This speeding up of the conveyor belt is what we call a fast  Phase 1 detoxor or someone that is "chemically sensitive".                                                                                                                                                                 

The No-brainer solution is . . . drumroll please. . . speed up phase 2 of the conveyor belt.  Phase 2 is heavily dependent on amino acids. Increasing your protein will safely drop the wrapped candy in the shipping boxes or in other words get the wrapped up toxins on their way. These tightly wrapped shipping boxes are sent to the shipping truck for transit to the customer which is Phase 3 or for our final destination of elimination (into the toilet).                                                                                                                                       

A wet, dirty, rat infested shipping truck can wreak total havoc on this box and quickly rip it open messing up the candy keeping it from reaching its final destination. This dirty, rat infested truck is your bacteria/parasite infested dysbiotic gut.  This new mess is now worse than it was in phase 1.  This pathogen filled mess is now 100 times more toxic. This poisonous spillage is then recirculated back to the liver instead of reaching the final destination (the toilet).  This parasitic mess overwhelms the liver as it frantically tries to filter and clean it up again to go back on the conveyor belt.                                                 

How do we ensure phase 3 is getting the package to the final customer (the toilet)?  FIBER

Fiber commits to keeping the shipping trucks clean!  Instead of taking a week for the box of candy to

arrive in an open truck (constipation), fiber ships the package next day air.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Testing this candy conveyor belt system is exactly what the Organic Acid Test/Amino acid test does.  These tests look at Vitamin B status (1st conveyor belt); oxidative damage (dropped unwrapped candy) and dysbiosis (inspects the shipping truck).  So don't be like Lucy shoving chocolate in your mouth, losing the conveyor belt battle and still getting fired.  Get the test done and stay on top of your conveyor belt!
