Circulating Toxins Out, Nutrients In

for Detox, Insomnia, Chronic Fatigue

​An overall equation for health is moving toxins and waste out so nutrients can move in to reach cells.
 
Toxins-out depends on circulation through the lymph, blood, liver, bile, to bowels--this is usually not addressed in any one protocol.  
 
And binding toxins with food--that is more effective than supplement binders, I find. 
Food that also helps the liver antioxidants and bile flow as binder. 
 
Most people have more nutritional deficiencies than they think and don’t know how to address them fully.
Like magnesium: everyone takes it but not always the right forms or enough.
 
Whatever nutrients are entering often can’t reach cells because the lymph has not cleared the interstitial fluid to allow perfusion of nutrition through blood capillaries.  
 
One of the most sensitive areas that is affected by the stagnation of toxin-nutrient exchange is the hypothalamus in the brain that regulate sleep, rest and stress responses. The brain has both lymph and cerebral spinal fluid that work together for circulation.
 
The hypothalamus is the brains command center of hormones: pituitary, adrenals, and thyroid that regulate many functions including activity, rest, digest, and sleep.  
 
Most crucial for health is good sleep versus stress responses that the hypothalamus helps regulate. Lack of circulation to cleanse and nourish the hypothalamus and brain leads to low quantity and quality of sleep and actually total nervous system regulation with the problem of autonomic nervous system dysregulation. This figures large in the explanations for chronic fatigue focusing on myalgic encephalitis, ME, involving inflammation of the brain stem more generally from toxins, infections, immune dysfunction, etc.
 
Treatments for circulation include lymph massage, cranial adjustment, stretching, moving the body, etc. These can be do it yourself or by body workers.
 
Treatments may focus largely on the head upper body, but actually the same stagnation of nutrient and toxin circulation can be just as significant elsewhere, like the liver, which can send toxins right back into the blood and up to the brain as fast the lymph clears it, if the rate of clearing the liver and bowels is not greater or equal to head clearing.  
 
To really understand this we need to understand the difference between insomnia due the mechanism of sleep versus the functions of sleep.
 
Weak sleep mechanisms lead to insomnia, that’s obvious.
 
In other cases, sleep mechanisms and the brain could be working just fine but the function of sleep cannot be performed because the body is lacking  enough nutrients to repair along with lack of circulation of waste and toxins out to make room for nutrients. So the body could not benefit from any more sleep at a certain point because it cannot perform its functions.
 
So you can wake up after 5 hours because the toxins are not bound for excretion and moving out to make room for nutrients.  
Maybe you need to pump your lymph by moving your whole body.
Maybe you need to have bowel movements but not know it because you are constipated up stream and that could back up your liver and lymph, pushing toxins back into the blood.
You don’t know it because the feedback has broken down. Everything is dysregulated.
So you go looking for something to help with sleep when the sleep mechanism is not the problem.
 
I have never seen anyone explain it this way, I had to figure out for myself how every variable mattered. I cannot tell you what I did because it would take too long and it will be different for everyone. I can only give you some general categories of possible weak links to explore.
 
Here are some general steps to detox circulating toxins out, but not how to do it.
Nutrients and antioxidants for phase one and two detox in the liver.
 Bile must be flowing to get toxins out and stimulate bowel movements.
Bile is made from cholesterol and lecithin.
Bile acids that bind toxins so they don't reenter the liver as bile is recycled.
Bacteria or prebiotics to feed bacteria to recycle bile.
Healing leaky gut with bacteria feeding on prebiotics to create butyrate, and or butyrate from food like raw butter.
Binders of toxins.
If you get symptoms from increasing circulation of lymph then consider other weak links in getting toxins out.
 
Other Example of hypothalamus toxicity: lyppolysaccharides, leaky gut, leptin, insulin.   
 
The hypothalamus, in turn, works with the hormone leptin, which is released by fat cells to monitor fat levels, to then communicate to insulin whether to store carbs as fat, a problem also often defined as “insulin resistance.” Leptin does many other things, too. The problem is “leptin resistance” when cell receptors in the hypothalamus don’t receive the leptin. This has been thought of as damage to the cell receptors from toxins or lack of nutrients, which can involve a circulation problem of lack of toxins out and nutrients in.
 
One such toxin that has been studied to damage the hypothalamus and leptin function are lypopolysaccharide toxins produced by gut bacteria that escape through a leaky gut. This is an example of how multiple problems multiply effects: you have to solve wall weak links: brain, liver, gut, lymph, immunity, nutrient deficiencies, etc.
 
This is why people get stuck: complexity.
And everyone is different so I can’t guess what people need, and even if I tried to guess, I could not take hours to design a protocol and write it in a comment.
That’s why I don’t give personal advice in social media comments.
Trying to help with just one thing also trivializes the complexity that has just been explained.
This is a practitioner level strategic framework to help guide assessment and strategy in designing protocols. I know that many people just helping themselves are at the level of practitioners and can benefit from this.
