DAY 32: What Toxins Do to the Body

A few years ago, I had a patient who complained of some of the worst body odor. She would shower and still smell like body odor, even after using soap.

One day, a few weeks after seeing this patient, I was on an airplane. The flight attendant recognized me, so she began talking to me about the changes she had made in her diet and lifestyle.

The flight attendant said, "I used to have the worst body odor, until I became a vegetarian. Now I have no body odor whatsoever. I don't even need to wear deodorant.”

I then realized that I had not told my patient with body odor to stop eating all meat. When I got back in town, I called this patient back and learned that she was eating red meat and pork at least three times a week. As soon as she quit eating red meat and pork, the body odor went away. She was ecstatic.

I have since seen this problem time and again in other patients. One man I treated had terrible body odor, and his T-shirts were stained yellow. He said he would scrub under his arms and get out of the shower and still smell the same. He also said he would load bacon on his plate six inches high at buffets. I put him on a meat fast, and he quit stinking.

Deadly Toxification

I wish toxicity were only a matter of bad body odor, but it's much more serious than that. When your body can't break down a toxin or dispose of it properly, it usually stores it in fatty tissues, which include the brain, breasts, and prostate gland. Those "love handles” around your waist may actually be toxin-storage sites! Toxins may also trigger inflammation, which is the main cause of heart disease, Alzheimer's, arthritis, asthma, and many other diseases. Inflammation, we are finding, is strongly related to the foods we eat, like red meats.

Highly toxic people open themselves up to many more problems, including:

• Chronic fatigue

• Heart disease

• Memory loss

• Premature aging

• Skin disorders

• Arthritis

• Hormone imbalances

• Anxiety

• Headaches

• Emotional disorders

• Cancers

• Autoimmune diseases

What the Toxins Do

When toxins build up in your body and the liver and elimination systems can't process and eliminate them all, you then develop toxic overload. You usually lack energy, experience environmental allergies and food sensitivities, and develop excessive mucus production. You may also develop recurrent sinus problems, bronchitis, and eventually degenerative diseases. Some people complain of forgetfulness, foggy thinking, mood changes, sallow and saggy skin, respiratory problems, joint aches, arthritis, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and poor immune function.

But what do these toxins do? Sampling just some of the research gives us all the information we need. For example, pesticides have been linked to a lower sperm count in men and to higher amounts of xenoestrogen in men and women. Xenoestrogens are chemical counterfeits that fool the body into accepting them as genuine estrogen. When this occurs, it throws a woman's hormones out of balance, leading to symptoms of PMS, fibrocystic breast diseases, and potentially endometriosis.
