Cellular Sickness and Detoxification
What is cellular sickness?
Cells have many roles in the body. They provide structure and support, facilitate growth through mitosis, allow passive and active transport, produce energy, create metabolic reactions, and aid in reproduction. Cells communicate with each other using chemical and electrical signals. In other words, cells talk to each other ensuring that all body organs and tissues are on the same page. Cellular sickness refers to different conditions that affect these cellular functions in the body.
For example:
-
Mitochondrial Dysfunction/Disease: Mitochondria produce most of the energy your body needs. If you have a mitochondrial disease, your cells aren’t able to produce enough energy.
-
EMF sickness is a term to describe symptoms attributed to exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from sources such as cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, power lines, and X-rays. Some of these symptoms include headaches, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, and anxiety.
-
Cytokine sickness is a term used to describe the behavioral and physiological changes that occur when the immune system produces proinflammatory cytokines (proteins that signal immune cells to help control inflammation in your body) in response to infection. Cytokine sickness is part of the body’s natural defense mechanism against pathogens and can open the door to digestive disorders.
-
Cellular senescence is a process in which cells stop dividing and become dysfunctional due to DNA damage or other stressors. Senescent cells can secrete harmful molecules that damage nearby cells and trigger inflammation and immune responses. Cellular senescence has been linked to aging and various diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and neurodegeneration.

How do are cells get sick?
Toxin exposure! Toxins are substances that can cause harm to cells in tissues and organs. We have internal, external, and emotional toxic exposures. Internal source are bacteria, viruses, fungi, mycotoxins, parasites and their debris that live in and on us. External toxins are heavy metals, solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals in our environment that are found in drinking water, the food we eat, clothing we wear, cosmetics, and many other home and work exposures. The body and mind are connected. Emotional toxins can increase inflammation, depress the immune system and contribute to the cycle fo chronic disease. Addressing emotional toxins can turn off a fight or flight response and help the healing process.
​​
Toxins can cause cellular damage by different mechanisms, such as:
-
Interfering with the production of energy in the mitochondria (which is the batteries in every cell)
-
Activating or inhibiting enzymes and signaling pathways in the cells
-
Causing DNA damage and cellular senescence
-
Increasing the fight or flight stress response in the body
​
Depending on the type and amount of toxins, the exposure time, and the susceptibility of the individual, toxins can cause various diseases and symptoms. Some examples of toxin-related diseases are:
-
Cancer
-
Diabetes
-
Gut Ailments
-
Cardiovascular Disease
-
Neurodegeneration
-
Infections
-
Allergies & Eczema
-
Weight Resistance
​
How do you know if you have cellular toxicity?
Frankly, all of us do to some degree however, if you are struggling with symptoms such as weight resistance, blood sugar dysregulation, thyroid or hormonal imbalance, autoimmune disease, a digestive disorder, skin issues, or cancer, you likely have cellular toxicity.
How do you remove toxins from the body?
Cellular detoxification is a process that helps remove toxins from cells in the body. Typically this includes removal of the source of toxicity, eating healthy whole foods, drinking clean water, removing inflammatory drivers, revitalizing cell membrane health, open drainage and detox pathways, storing mitochodrial (energy) health, enhancing cellular gluthatione and brain detox. ​This can be accomplished through diet, supplemental support, binders, exercise, and lifestyle changes. The goal of cellular detoxification is to improve overall health and well-being by removing potentially harmful toxins from the body.
​
The benefits of cellular detoxification include improved energy levels, better digestion, clearer skin, increased mental clarity, better immunity, weight loss, and more balanced hormones. It also helps protect against diseases such as cancer by reducing oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Additionally, it can aid in mental health by decreasing anxiety levels and improving overall mood and wellbeing. Cellular detoxification helps keep the body functioning optimally and can bring about physical and psychological improvements.
​
By incorporating a healthy diet, lifestyle changes and an appropriate supplement plan, cellular detoxification can be beneficial for overall health and wellness. With the right approach, cellular detoxification may help improve overall health and well-being.
