DEFICENCIES AND TOXICITY
Deficencies and Toxicity are so tightly connected they can not be seperated.
When dealing with the human body the term toxicity encompasses more that just the unnatural chemicals of our technological age. For example the natural chemical, Mercury, is highly toxic. Some of the waste products of normal metabolism are toxic. In the average adult, between 10 and 30 Billion cell are replaced Each Day, and much of the dead cell is toxic. All essential nutrients in the wrong quanity and/or in the wrong location, can be toxic. Incomplete digestion, many of the intermediatary products of digestion are toxic.
All nutrients that the body requires have semi-specific receptor sites. Toxin's with similar characteristics have the ability to lock onto such sites. When the body is nutrient deficient, toxin's has an opportunity to become established.
The other side of the coin is that the bodies detoxification systems require extensive and definable nutrients. When the body removes toxin's, valuable nutrients are also lost in the process. To cope with a high toxic load extra nutrition is required.
We are currently living in the most toxic environment in recorded history.
The nutrient content of our food is the lowest in recorded history.
This is the vicous circle we have to learn to cope with.
