The most important starting point of any detoxification program is to stop

exposure to the toxin or toxins. This means avoiding even small amounts, since

once sensitized to the toxin even minute amounts can produce full-blown

toxicity. This is especially so with accumulative toxins, such as aspartame. It

has been shown conclusively that the metabolic products of methanol breakdown,

formaldehyde in particular, accumulates on the DNA and cellular proteins.

 

 

Once you have cleansed your diet of the toxin, removal of the toxin and its

metabolic products from your system will begin. Central to this process is the

body's detoxification system, which exist in all cells of the body, with the

bulk of detoxification taking place in the liver. The detoxification system is

divided into two components called phase I and phase II, which work in tandem.

Toxins pass through phase I and then pass to phase II where they are further

detoxified and made water-soluble for eventual disposal. It is now known that

you can significantly enhance the body's ability to detoxify these substances

through the judicious use of specific supplements. Of the two systems phase II

is most important and most often impaired.

 

The following is a list of nutrients that enhance detoxification:

 

* Indole-3 carbinol-100 mg twice a day. This natural substance enhances phase

II. It is extracted from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussel's

sprouts and cauliflower. It can be purchased as an extract.

 

 

* Taurine 500 mg a day- This is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is used by

the liver for sulfonation reactions. It is to be taken between meals.

 

 

* Milk Thistle (silymarin) 175 mg. Take two twice a day. This extract has been

shown to substantially enhance liver detoxification and is also a very powerful

antioxidant for all cells.

 

* Curcumin- 500 mg three times a day with olive oil. This is an extract taken

from turmeric. It is an extremely powerful antioxidant, enhances both phases I

and II detoxification, is a radioprotectant, enhances bile flow, inhibits cancer

growth, and is a very powerful anti-inflammatory. Also enhances DNA repair

enzymes.

 

* Panthethine 250 mg Take one capsule 3X a day- This vitamin is the enzyme form

of pantothenic acid. It plays a vital role in enhancing the aldehyde

dehydrogenase enzyme. (For formaldehyde detoxification)

 

 

* Thiamine- 100 mg. Take three a day. (Vitamin B1) This vitamin plays a major

role in protecting nerves as well as the brain. It is commonly depleted with

pesticide exposure.

 

* Pyrodoxyl-5 phosphate 50 mg- Take one a day. This is the functional form of

vitamin B6. People exposed to chemical toxins frequently have low levels of this

vitamin. When vitamin B6 is deficient, taurine is also low. It plays a major

role in protecting against glutamate and aspartate toxicity.

 

In addition to detoxification, other nutrients play a more direct role in

protecting cells and in promoting their recovery from toxicity. These include:

 

* Magnesium- 750 to 1000 mg a day. (Magnesium citrate/malate) Magnesium plays a

major role in cell protection, especially against excitotoxicty. In addition it

protects against strokes and heart attacks.

 

 

* Selenium- 200 ug a day. This mineral also plays a role in protecting cells

from toxins, especially mercury. It plays a major role in protecting against

free radicals.

 

 

* N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC)- 750 mg a day. This is a substance that in cells is

converted to glutathione. Glutathione is your cell's major protection against

free radicals produced by toxins such as aspartame.. In addition, NAC removes

mercury. NAC also enhances detoxification.

 

 

* Multi- " B " vitamins- This should be a multivitamins that contains 25 to 50 mgs

of each of the B vitamins. The multivitamin should not contain iron. Take one a

day.

 

 

* Vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols) 400 IU twice a day. A powerful antioxidant,

prevents heart attacks an stokes and the gamma-tocopherol is a powerful

anti-inflammatory.

 

 

* Vitamin C (as magnesium ascorbate) 2000 mg twice to three times a day. Plays a

major role in cell protection against oxygen stress, protects the nervous system

and enhances tissue repair.

 

 

* CoQ10 100 mg twice a day. This is a major energy molecule and protects the

brain against excitotoxicity.

 

* DHA 200 mg a day. This is a component of omega-3-fatty acids. It plays a vital

role in membrane repair and repair of synapses.

 

In addition to avoiding aspartame you must avoid other toxins as well. This

includes MSG, pesticides, herbicides, bug sprays, fluoride, mercury, cadmium,

aluminum and the many other toxins found commonly in the environment. Many of

these toxins act synergistically, that is, when combined they have toxic effects

that exceed their additive effects.

 

In addition, you need regular, moderate exercise (never aerobic), avoid soy

products, cheese, and vegetable oils. Do not smoke or use drugs. All of these

things increase free radical damage and prevent tissue repair. You should eat a

diet high in vegetables and with some fruits, no sugar (or honey), moderate

complex carbohydrates and pure water free of contaminants, including fluoride.

Do not use fluoride toothpaste, mouthwashes or receive fluoride treatments. If

you follow these principles you will notice quick recovery from your toxic

encounter. More serious toxic encounters may take several months for recovery.
