The necessity of detoxing.

It appears that I misunderstood the resolution. Con seems to be contending the claims made from various products regarding the need for their product to detoxify the body. I will concede the notions he has advanced pertaining to the unnecessary potential of those products, however I will address the bodies necessity to detoxify itself. The human body is a complex organism containing a multitude of various mechanisms and functions. One important function is the bodies pivotal need to detoxify itself via numerous mechanisms and processes. Firstly, lets examine the components that are involved in the detoxification process. Vital organs: Lungs Skin Digestive System (large intestines) Kidneys Liver The above mentioned are critical apparatuses needed for the detoxification of the body. Secondly, lets examine what these organs are responsible for in removing toxic substances. Lungs - This apparatus is responsible for removing chemicals in the form of a gas. The lungs are involuntarily activated via the autonomic nervous system. Upon inhale, the lungs receive air( primarily nitrogen and oxygen), and during exhale( primarily nitrogen and carbon dioxide) the lungs expel air. During the expulsion of air, carbon dioxide is released, and if excess levels of carbon dioxide is reached within the blood, the body is exposed to multiple threatening symptoms. Skin - One of skins functions is responsible for removing water via sweating, which are monitored by the apocrine and eccrine glands. Sweating is the process of removing primarily hydrogen from the body from the skin, which aids in the cooling of the body. Although the majority of toxins are not removed via sweating, certain toxins do dissolve in sweat. Digestive System - The digestive system is responsible for removing waste via defecating, and regurgitation. Kidneys - This vital organ is responsible for straining toxins from the blood and transporting it into urine to be subsequently removed from the body. Liver - This organ is an imperative instrument in the removal and detoxification process off the body. The liver alters the chemical nature of toxins via enzymes to be then excreted from the body. Now that I have addressed the organs and their responsibilities in regards to the detoxifying roles they possess, in the next segment I will address why detoxification is necessary. The human body is constantly exposed to toxins, chemicals, and harmful agents that pose harm if reached in excessive levels. The reason the body undergoes the detoxification process is to ensure that the body functions and regulates safely and efficiently devoid of detrimental agents. The following are symptoms the body may experience if excessive levels of toxins are reached within the body: Constipation Diarrhea Sinus congestion Headaches Bloating Albeit the above mentioned are mere symptoms of excessive toxic levels, the following are deadly diseases that result from excessive levels of toxins: Insomnia Cancer Digestive diseases like Crohn"s disease, ulcers, and colitis Additionally, if we examine the definitions con has provided in the previous argument for toxic, the symptoms and diseases satisfy the criteria of being a result of toxic accumulation ergo, it would be deemed necessary that the toxic material suggested be removed from the body. TOXICITY: This is the state of the body that indicates a poisonous or harmful substance that poses a harmful threat on the body. Toxicity is a result of excess accumulation of toxic waste within the body. Serious cases of toxicity can lead to death. http://peer.tamu.edu... http://www.montana.edu... http://drhyman.com...
