Toxicity

[Guest guest]

On page 78 of 120YD, Dr Walford states: " The second reason for

losing weight slowly concerns the release into the blood of toxic

materials, such as pesticide residues, out of your own stores of

bodily fat. Certain pesticide residues like DDE (from DDT), as well

as dioxin and the PCBs, plus others, are not broken down very

rapidly by the detoxifying enzymes of the body. However, because

they are fat soluble, they are prevented from doing harm by being

absorbed into the body's fat. "

There's an accompanying graph, that indicates for the two years of

the Biosphere 2 experiment there were 3 to 4 times the elevated

level of DDE and PCBs in the bloodstream of the participants. Dr

Walford concludes by saying, " Therefore, you should lose weight

slowly enough for the released toxins to be cleared without getting

too high. "

Fish farmers routinely use PCBs and other toxins to keep fish free

of disease (see post 5363) so it obviously isn't a health concern

for people who bring food to market. Without trying to be

controversial, might we not also conclude that there is an added

benefit to CRONies in donating blood? It chases away the blues AND

the toxins.

Jeanine: you posted some information from a verternarian toxicologist. I

scanned over the materials and found it rather useless with respect to human

toxic exposures. For example, the section onf hydrogen sulfe only cited animal

studies. The author did not cite any of the human studies done on hydrogen

sulfide. There, his conclusions and suggestion do not apply to humans.

I would suggest that before posting such materials take a look at the references

cited and see if it pertains to humans.

no, but the earliest reference is 2001 so I'd guess some time around

2002-04. good info. -knowledge of mycotoxin effects. but considering

theres still that question of exactly what can happen when your in the

war zone of myco's and bacteria's at the same time.?? hard to say what

influenced that comment at the end.

yes,Mr.Thrasher, Do you mean that veternary toxicology cannot often

be applied to human toxicology because of the vast differences

between animals and human systems or just that this one article was

way off? I've heard we have more in common with pigs and dogs, why

are studies mostly centered around mice and rats? from a few articles

I've read it seems they are missing some features that humans have

that pertain to our illness.

Dr. Thrasher, how come monkey's aren't used more for human studies?

[Guest guest]

Dr. Thrasher,

Is there a really good toxicology book that you recommend???

Also, have a question. I was reading an article that phenols are one

way to inhibit the growth of mold ie. in food. Upon further reading,

I noticed that phenols include a large variety of substances if the

website I looked at was correct. Is there something specific in the

structure of some phenols verses others that make them more effective

as prevention for mold growth??
