Do I need to detox while on the MP?
The liver removes harmful substances (such as ammonia and toxins) from the blood and then breaks them down or transforms them into less harmful compounds. Toxins are excreted through the skin and bowel. Nothing extraordinary need be done to promote these normal body functions.
Detoxification (detox) is based on the principle that illnesses can be caused by the accumulation of toxic substances (toxins) in the body. Some practitioners believe detoxing is helpful to counteract symptoms due to immune system reactions.
Detox refers to treatments, tests, techniques, diets, special food products, fasting, therapies, machines, supplements, enemas, etc, that are commonly used by practitioners of alternative medicine (detoxification therapists) to supposedly 'enhance, activate and assist' the natural body processes that eliminate toxins.
Dr. Marshall states:
"We have not observed the need for any detoxification of the liver (or any other organ). Most of the body's healing processes work better if they are left alone.
The concept that we should intervene in these diseases with supplements or therapies has not worked, and I deprecate it.
Detox will almost certainly affect your progress on the MP, and may be dangerous in combination with the MP.
In any case, I have seen no persuasive science to show that Detox is doing anything that it claims to be doing.
In fact, nobody has been able to show me any solid molecular science about Detox at all. Doesn't that tell you something??
Your best bet is to stay anchored in the Science, stick with the MP. You are in good company.
'Detox' therapy is a dangerous undertaking for a Th1 patient. It is not really 'detoxing' the body, it is messing around with the enzymatic and hepatic systems in ways that nobody has ever properly explored
Short term palliation may result, but I have never seen an instance of long-term benefit."
Lemon oil drink
The first thing you need to understand about killing the Th1 pathogens is that anything which makes you feel better, invariably does so because it is stopping your immune system from killing the pathogens.
The reason you are still ill is that one cannot apply the standard logic of "feeling well" to these chronic diseases. You have to understand the disease mechanism, and only then can you figure out how to recover your health.
I strongly discourage the use of a lemon oil drink if you want to regain your health, which is what this site is all about.
The whole concept of 'toxicity' has failed, IMO, and needs to be revised in light of the knowledge we have developed about the bacterial pathogenesis of these diseases.

Body odor
Nitric Oxide, and the compounds formed by the NO cause body odors folks have reported as musty or ammonia-like. The liver removes harmful substances (such as ammonia and toxins) from the blood and then breaks them down or transforms them into less harmful compounds. Toxins are excreted through the skin. BUN may be elevated as the bacteria are killed. Many others have reported this. See this thread.
