mucus?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm new to this group and am a 1st year chiropractic student at

Western States. I'm interested in what kinds of symptoms would lead

someone to do a detox, and what kinds of results are to be expected

in the long run.

I'm also wondering why mucus is said to be bad. Mucus in and of

itself is not harmful. It's just various carbohydrates produced and

excreted by the body as a way to remove particles, microbes, and dead

immune cells from the airways and lubricate and protect the digestive

tract. The material that the mucus is carrying away may be harmful,

but I'm having a hard time understanding why the mucus itself should

be considered bad. Are these detox explanations just over

simplified? Am I looking to deeply into the definition of mucus?

 

Thank you,

Lisa
