Pollution in the air, in water and in food is absorbed by the body and must be neutralized. That’s on top of all the toxins that we take in through choice, such as tobacco smoke (both active and passive) or smoked/grilled meats. Added to which we have numerous harmful substances in our body that arise from metabolic processes.
The vital detoxification functions are controlled by our own genetic structure. We all detoxify in a different way. Everyone has his or her own genetic detoxification profile and produces different amounts of certain detoxification enzymes or, in the worst case scenario, none at all.
I therefore advise my clients as to how they should compensate for lack of detoxification enzymes by adopting a certain diet or by taking supplementary vitamins.
For example, if a client has one particular existing genotype, too few cancer-preventing enzymes are being produced, or possibly none at all. In such a case, I recommend the consumption of cruciferous plants such as red or green cabbage, broccoli, parsley and watercress, or even taking broccoli capsules if the client does not like these vegetables. In this way, the client achieves the same detoxification effect as if he or she had the so-called “good” gene variant. It is therefore important for the client to know his or her genetic profile. Only then can we supply the missing genetic protection – e.g. by nutritional balance – and prevent the onset of diseases.
