Fat-Soluble Toxins

Converting fat-soluble toxins to water-soluble form enables more effective elimination from the body. Environmental toxins that enter the body are fat-soluble, causing them to accumulate in fat cells rather than being readily excreted. Fat-soluble toxins are the primary substrates processed by the liver during Phase 1 detoxification. Fat-soluble toxins re-enter the bloodstream when released during detox. Fat-soluble toxins stored in fat cells are released into circulation when fat stores are mobilized during fasting. The liver converts fat-soluble toxins into a water-soluble state. Fat-soluble toxins cannot be excreted through urine or standard perspiration because they do not dissolve in water. Fat-soluble toxins bind to cholesterol molecules and embed in cell membranes, where they are continuously recirculated throughout the body rather than cleared. Infrared sauna sweat physically removes cholesterol to which fat-soluble toxins are attached, and the body then resynthesizes fresh cholesterol, cycling out the toxin-laden fraction. Fat-soluble toxins can remain sequestered in adipose tissue throughout a person's entire life. Fat-soluble toxins are stored in fatty tissues before de…
