Dr. Mao:
How can detoxification help? Well, detoxification is a process of helping improve your body’s ability to eliminate toxins, help your body eliminate toxins through the three portals: sweat, bowels, and your urine. So really clearing it out of the system. Now what is the problem with the toxins? Well, a lot of the toxins, as I mentioned, the environmental toxins are estrogenic so we really want to get rid of the bad types of estrogen from our body. So that is one important factor.

Two, many of the other toxins are cancer-causing, creates immune system breakdown because they can create autoimmune disease. They can create immune suppression. So detoxification can vastly improve all the functions in your body but in particular your immune system because now the immune system is unburdened by having to chase after all these foreign chemicals. It can now do its job effectively by patrolling and repairing and preventing invasions.
