How Cruciferous Vegetables Detoxify (remove poisons) - Dr. Berg

Find out why cruciferous vegetables are the best foods for detoxifying your body.

hey guys dr. Berg here in this video we’re going  to talk about the cruciferous detox effect okay so just check this out see this book right here  this is called toxicology what in toxicology is the study of poisons look at how sick this  thing is okay let me show you something so this is called the basic science of poisons these  are all the different chemicals that a person is exposed to pesticides herbicides and it shows you  the the effects it has on the body the disease’s it creates where it gets acute its cumulated in  the kidney or the liver or the respiratory tract or the skin okay so this is interesting it says  that most chemicals that produce systemic toxicity do not cause a similar degree of toxicity in  all organs instead they usually elicit their major toxicity in only one or two organs the  target organ of toxicity is often not the site of the highest concentration of the chemical for  example lead is concentrated in the bone DDT is concentrated in adipose tissue interesting so  now check this out biotransformation of the antibiotics what does that mean it’s a fancy  term for the elimination of chemicals on the body so your body has the ability through the  liver into the enzymes to get rid of poisons okay and the unique thing that you need to know  about is that these poisons are fat soluble now they’re not water soluble so they get stuck in  the fat cell and that is the obstacle to their elimination because LeBeau trophic which means  chemicals that get stuck in the lipids or fats the trophic compounds can be easy readily reabsorbed  consequently the elimination of xenobiotics as chemicals often depends on their conversion to  water-soluble chemicals by a process known as bio transformation so our body basically has enzymes  to break down fat soluble chemicals into water seidel chemicals and this happens in the liver  so check out this next part you got a liver right livers on the right side the liver has the ability  to detoxify can calls and everyday we’re exposed to pesticides herbicides chemicals GMO foods don’t  get me started on that one and the enzymes in the liver basically go from phase 1 to phase 2 and  they work together to take these really dangerous poisons and turn them into harmless water soluble  particles so that’s what your liver does but the problem is chronic exposure to these chemicals  causes the speeding up of phase 1 okay what happens when you when you don’t balance these and  this goes too much phase 2 gets overwhelmed and you get a backup of toxins throughout the body so  you cannot you no longer can detoxify you actually get sick and this these toxins can spill off into  the thyroid into the uterus into the grass cause cancer so if these were working together you can  actually kind of get rid of a lot of poisons that you’re exposed to so what cruciferous vegetables  will do they enhance this process what they’ll do they actually inhibit phase one so they will slow  down an overactive phase once and speed up a Phase two to allow this process not to be overwhelmed  but to speed up the elimination of these chemicals now like I said before a lot of these chemicals  that people are exposed to have a delayed effect for 20 30 40 years so what affected you way back  you know when your kid is now starting to affect you now and that’s why it’s hard to connect  the cause and effect relationship and that’s why it’s so important to consume kale arugula  bok choy Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower collard greens radish on a regular basis so I  suggest that you start consuming these if you want a more convenient way to get all of these  I have two things one is the cruciferous some of you are already using this this has a blend of  all the cruciferous in an organic form and the other form is a new product that I have called  estrogen balance I like this one a little bit more if you’re female because it has an additional  thing called dim now what is dim well two capsules of dim two capsules of this is equal to 2 pounds  of cruciferous so dim is a highly concentrated cruciferous phytochemical that allows this  process to happen a lot quicker okay and you would start out taking one of these per day and  you would get used to it then you would add two you would need to go past two but anything that  you have an estrogen dominance because all these chemicals mimic estrogen in the environment so  you’re talking like if you have heavy periods fibrocystic breast fibroids cystic acne painful  long periods menopause symptoms hot flashes night sweats this is really good to balance the estrogen  so it gets rid of the bad estrogen it improves as a good estrogen it’s not going to take all that  jujin out of your body is just going to convert it into the right level and help this detoxification  process as well so it has properties it has vitamin E it has kale it has cabbage a lot of  cruciferous but it also has the dim tumeric and a couple other things to support the adrenals so  it’s like it’s an upgraded version of my ovarian formula but with a lot of enhancements okay so if  you’re interested in either one of these you can click the link below and start checking it out  get some more information but anyway I wanted to thank you for watching this I hope you learn  something new and I will see you in the next video
