How Does Liver Eliminate Toxins?

default
Posted on Sat, 18 Oct 2014
Question: I cannot understand clearly the mechanism of toxin such as DDT or etc. (undetoxified Toxicants)
Pls. tell me that what is the true means of undetoxification
For example, When 100pcs of DDT enter into the body from lungs or Skin or mouth..Do undetoxification mean only 1-2pcs can be detoxification and almost 98pcs DDT could enter into the blood circulation and attack the cells and after that they stay in fat? // or 97-98pcs of DDT could be detoxified and last 1-2pcs move to the blood and attack the organs or cell and remain the body fat or organs ?
I still cannot understand the meaning of lethal volume of undetoxified Toxins.
As far as I know, DDT attact badly to neuron cells of muscle control. Heart could be stopped by DDT. (even low volume = very large amounts in molecular levels...)
If my explanation is right. I could understand the mechanizm
- Body could detoxify 98% of DDT and then only little 2% DDT could be enter into the body and attach the neuron cells, but there are alot of neuron cells for controling the muscle for heart (for example, there are 100 neuron cells for controling the heart beating), alived 2% neuron toxin is only 2-3pcs... So with that such little amount could not prohibit to stop the muscle. (very little)
After attack the 2-3 pcs cells in neuron and then they move to the Fat and stay in bone for a while, but still 98pcs neuron cell is very health, so don't need to worry. but after time flows 2-3pcs neuron cell released from fat and attack again. but stilll we have 96pcs neuron cell. So still OK...
But I cannot understand is if mechanizm is such like that...
And then finially people die with only 2pcs of DDT. Because DDT attack and attack the important cells until toxicants die.
If body could detoxified 98% of toxicants, that means that last 2-3% toxicant could be detoxified by soon.
(if there is no enzyme in body to detoxify the DDT, 100% DDT should be alive, but if there is enzyme to detoxify DDT
eventhough there needs some time to detoxify but it is surely detoxified...
Pls. tell me that why there is the toxin which could show the acute symptom and chronicle symptom.... But why there is no toxin which have a window periods symptom...
Pls. explain me. Thx.


My real concern is not DDT toxification.
I Just want to understand why it is not impossible for some toxin which could not be detoxified by liver or enzyme to attack targeted cells or organs again and again until people die.
I learn that toxin which could not be detoxified is moving to fat or bone and after time flows they released and move to the blood flow and attack the cells or organs again.
That means once toxicant which is not toxified gets into the body, it is going to kill the person after time flows....
But when I find out the books.. there are only two symptoms. one is acute symptoms and the other is chronicle symptoms... And doctors says that if there is no symptom, it is OK...why there is no window periods symptoms. Only one shot could make person die...
Really want to know the reason why it is not impossible. Pls. explain that with scienticfic explanation. Thx

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After DDT enters the body 98% is detoxified by the enzymes and rest 2% affects the various cells. In case the quantity of exposure is large enough only then the remaining 2% can cause the symptoms. The remaining part also gets metabolized after some time.
So it does not attack the same organs again and again.
Death is seen mostly within 24 - 48 hours of ingestion of DDT. After that most of the metabolites are also excreted out. The delayed effect or chronic symptoms are due to the cell damage caused by the first exposure which is manifested later on.
Also the chronic symptoms are seen when a small amount of DDT is ingested daily. A one time intake does not cause the chronic symptoms.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.

Thanks for your answer.
I heard that if toxicant is not detoxified, it could move to the blood vessel and move to the organ or fat or bone and stay in for awhile.
And after that, toxicants release and attacks the cells or organs again.
What I cannot understand is If undetoxified Toxicant could attack the cells or receptors or organs repeatly, how could not people die after eating or breathing toxicants which is not detoxified.
In my point of view, there are alot of Toxicant which could not be detoxifed...
That Toxicants could attack again and again until people die?
Or there are alot of neuron cells...So small number of toxicants could not attack the all neuron cell?
Thank you very much.
P.S If 2 or 3pcs toxicant alive and attack neuron cell every day... People could know the symptom?

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Just 1-2% of toxicants cannot cause a repeated and irreversible damage to all the neurons. These do attack for a while and are then eliminated by the body in few months. During that period the attack to few neurons does not make a difference and does not cause any noticeable symptoms.
It is the repeated and continuous exposure to the toxicants that produces the long lasting symptoms.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
