DETOXIFICATION
The process of converting food
into the raw materials and energy we need to live, along with the complex biochemical reactions
that occur continuously within cells, produce waste products that must be eliminated from the
body.
The environment also contains
harmful substances that we inhale or swallow and must get rid of and the medication we may take
to do us good needs to be cleared from our system if it is not to accumulate and do us harm.
The general term for this process
is 'detoxification' and it is an elaborate and remarkably effective form of defence mechanism
which all but the simplest forms of life have developed to help them survive.
Detoxification is carried out by
enzymes produced from the information stored within our genes. Many separate genes are involved
but there are two distinct steps in the overall process and knowledge of them lets us understand
the principles at work. They are termed Phase I and Phase II.
- Phase I: the enzymes involved here are called "activators". They alter the
chemical your body needs to remove, by adding single nitrogen or oxygen molecules. This very
small change makes it easier for the next phase to proceed.
- Phase II: enzymes called "excretors" now take over. They bind the altered
chemical to a small substance called glutathione. This makes it possible for your body to
remove the substance, as it becomes water soluble.
