Fat loss and toxin release, is there a correlation?

[hm05]

I have read that many toxins are stored in the fat cells in the body, and when one loses weight, or burns fat so to speak, these toxins are released.  If this is true, then where exactly are these toxins going?  Through which organ are these toxins filtered if at all?  I am assumming it would be through the liver.  I know that many specific toxins like THC, are stored in the fat cell, and when one loses weight, this can be released in to the blood stream.  Is this true? I have heard of people becoming very ill, even more ill than if they did not lose weight, when these toxins are overloaded in the system. What other toxins that we are exposed to, are we releasing when we start burning fat? I am wondering if there is a correlation between significant weight loss, (not by Gastric bypass), toxin release, and the development of disease.  We are always told how unhealthy it is to be obese, but rarely hear about people getting very sick, after a significant weight loss.  Is it possible, that this "shock" to a system, could spark off an underlying problem? I just know that personally, when I have lost a good amount of weight, I sometimes feel terrible, worse than before, and wonder if this is some type of toxin overload into the system. Could someone tackle this question please, Thank you.

You seem to be very knowledgable about cleansing so I was wondering about your opinion of Isagenix take on internal whole body cleansing, not just colon cleansing to detox.
Have you ever tried it?
A freind of mine swears by it and suggests that I try it, but I want to do my research first.
My friend lost 25 lbs. the first month.

Your morning coffee is not going to hurt you and if it gets your bowels moving that's all the better! You definitely need to get a move on in the baby department!! Soror, I only singled out birth control pills so women who were reading can know that the pill and the hormonal havoc it reeks in your body are one of the causes of systemic yeast problems which correlates with the yeast detox I was posting to hmo5 about.

Hi THere...Ya know, its funny, but we grind our coffee each day, and just the smell/aroma of the ground coffee even before it is brewing can have me running to the john!!! Ha..lol.
Anyway, I just hate the "coffee shits" pardon the profanity, but I think you know what I mean.  The nervous stomach thing, or nervous bowel thing.  I know I need to start the baby stuff, but my mother is in stage IV lung cancer as I mentioned and I feel I can not be there for her and worrying about me getting prego at the same time.  My stress levels are sky high right now.  I got a facial today, just to calm myself a bit.  When I got up from the bed, I was soooo dizzy.  I think my b.p. is up too.  I am just a mess@@@!!!!!  Okay, oh also, I was never on b.c. because i was afraid of a blood clot with my weight and v.v.'s
See you here.

"All the processed foods and refined sugars as well as overuse of prescription drugs and birth control pills."

You have me curious, Astros, as you mentioned birth control pills specifically.  What about birth control pills is so much worse than prescription drugs by themselves?  I recognize that they change one's hormonal state, essentially 'tricking' the reproductive system, but I wonder why you singled them out.  Would you mind sharing?

I am amazed you made it thru all your ordeals.
I heard though, that drinking distilled water can actually,
DE hydrate the body, by leaching out all the minerals.
Anyway, I smoked, both ciggarettes and pot, for quite a few years on and off, and of course drank.  I do not, and have not smoked or done pot for at least 7 years.  I drink only socially, and actually do not tolerate alcohol well, I think my liver actually twinges when I drink too much. I do go to the bathroom a couple times a day, but in the morning, (after coffee) I am running to the pot every 10 mins before I shower for work.  It is annoying, but I do love my morning coffee...I am sure that is the problem.  As far as children go I know I will be trying now to start, I am 37, so I better get on the stick-HAHA.
I will keep it short and sweet tonight.

i could write a book for all i have been thru! i can remember as a child vomiting bile and never being able to go to the bathroom. i had gallstones so they took my gallbladder out. worse decision i ever made. i was constantly on antibiotics as a child and an adult. my poor gut was so toxic and i never knew what was wrong with me. i was on 6 different medications and thought i was dying, just nobody had the guts to tell me i was! I believe, with all my heart that God sent me help in the form of a car accident. i began to go to a chiropractor who also teaches detoxification and that's where my journey began. the key to detoxing is not to do too much at once. the colon always needs work. you should have a bowel movement at least 2 times per day but preferably more. once you start with the colon, move on to the liver. if you are/were a drug user or drinker, your liver definitely needs work. again, you must drink pure distilled water constantly to flush out toxins, and this is whether you are doing a detox or not. it sounds like your kidneys could use some support as well. just do one thing at a time and rest and take it easy. for the future, hydrangea will soften a kidney stone and make passing it easier. don't put off taking care of yourself, especially if you are considering children. i have 4 wonderful children and you will survive the pain of childbirth. the results are worth it!!
