Xenobiotic ExposureXenobiotic Exposure
• Over 4 billion pounds of pesticides are used annually in the U.S.
This amounts to 8 pounds for every man, woman, and child.
• Current law allows for 350 different pesticides to be used on the
food we eat.
• The average home contains 3-10 gallons of hazardous materials
• 400 Synthetic chemicals can be found in the average human body
• There is no single regulatory agency that oversees industrial
chemicals to ensure their safety: industrial chemicals are
presumed safe until proven hazardous even through they may
have physiological effects that are almost identical to a drug and
are often manufactured by pharmaceutical companies.
• Any toxicity testing that is done typically involves individual
compounds in highly controlled settings and almost never
investigates effects of complex mixtures.

• Whey Protein Raises Glutathione levels
up to 64%
- Glutathione is a sulfur-containing tripeptide made up of
glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine
- present in high concentrations in almost every cell
- protects cells against free radical and hydrogen peroxide
damage
- respiratory carrier of oxygen
- regenerates Vitamin E and Vitamin C
- for every atom of mercury that is removed the body loses 3
glutathione tripeptides.

Detoxification: theDetoxification: the
ProcessProcess
• Detoxification refers to the metabolic
pathways via which cells transform
toxic substances into relatively inert
metabolites that can be readily
excreted via the urine or bile.
• Since the majority of toxic
substances are fat soluble, they have
an affinity for and are stored in high
fat tissues and organs when not
detoxified and excreted promptly.
23. www.designsforhealth.comwww.designsforhealth.com
Detoxification – theDetoxification – the
processprocess
• Most toxic substances are fat-soluble
and must be converted to a water-
soluble form before they can be
excreted.
• This is done in a two-step process
referred to as phase 1 and phase 2.
• Although most of this activity takes
place in the liver, about 25% occurs
in the small intestine, and all tissues
have some detoxification capacity.
24. www.designsforhealth.comwww.designsforhealth.com
The Liver is the MajorThe Liver is the Major
Detoxifying OrganDetoxifying Organ
The liver utilizes a two-phase system in
detoxifying the body of harmful substances:
• 11stst
:: Transforms toxins into more water-
soluble compounds that are then carried
through the blood to the liver for further
processing, or to the kidney for elimination.
• 22nd:nd:
Completing the detoxification in the
liver and sending the toxins back to the
kidney for elimination, or into the bile for
elimination via the GI tract.
26. www.designsforhealth.comwww.designsforhealth.com
Phase I & Phase IIPhase I & Phase II
• The congested or sluggish liver is
characterized by a diminished bile flow,
while impaired liver (hepatic)
detoxification refers to decreased phase I
and/or phase II enzyme activity.
• Phase I detoxification rates that are in
excess of phase II activity will also cause
toxicity problems due to excessive
accumulation of activated intermediates.
28. www.designsforhealth.comwww.designsforhealth.com
Detox enzyme capacity isDetox enzyme capacity is
highly variablehighly variable
• Many phase 1 enzymes are induced by
their substrates.
• These are often xenobiotics.
• This leads to more rapid production of
reactive intermediates.
• Many substances including xenobiotics,
drugs and even nutrients (grapefruit) can
inhibit some phase 1 enzymes.
• This inhibition leads to an accumulation of
their substrates in the bloodstream and
increased storage in fatty tissues.
29. www.designsforhealth.comwww.designsforhealth.com
Phase 2Phase 2
• Phase 2 enzymes are highly
dependent on energy and on
adequate dietary protein.
• Phase 2 enzymes can be induced by
numerous substances found in fruits,
vegetables, spices and herbs.
• Both phase 1 and 2 are highly
dependent on adequate nutritional
status for their activity
31. www.designsforhealth.comwww.designsforhealth.com
Genetic VariationsGenetic Variations
• There are numerous genetic
variations in the activity of both
phase 1 and phase 2 enzymes.
• This, along with nutritional status
and total toxic load may help explain
why detoxification abilities for a
particular substance may vary as
much as 100-fold or more between
different individuals.

• Individuals who are candidates for a

• Fasting induces phase I enzymes--leading
to overproduction of toxic intermediates
• Lack of exogenous antioxidants

• There are complex cellular detoxification
mechanisms that are constantly at work for you
all day, every day.
• Natural and synthetic chemicals are processes by
this complex system of cells, organs, and organ
systems to keep you healthy in the face of a
virtually constant barrage of toxic material

• This is a time for you to care for your

• You are a priority, if only for this

The cleansing of our mind of negative thought pattern, is
essential to health and physical detoxification and can aid in
this process. Emotionally, detoxification helps us uncover and
express hidden frustrations, anger, resentments and fear and
replace them with forgiveness, love, joy and hope.
