Jeffery Bland, Ph.D and President of Metagenics wrote an excellent article on “Metabolic Detoxification”. Intake of chemicals toxic to the human body is inevitable, especially living in increasingly polluted areas. The human body though has natural detoxification mechanisms built in that keep the body clean. The liver, kidneys, intestines and more work to purge harmful chemicals that come from the environment, food and just the normal process of breaking down food and running the body.

Still, if we do not take steps to periodically assist these organs in cleaning the body, toxins can build up faster than the body can clean itself. Bland’s article talks more about how to assist the body in creating a healthy detoxification plan.
