It must be emphasized that the neuropathy did not totally recover until the patient had completed 9 months of maintenance. This emphasizes the great importance of ongoing detoxification maintenance and the best results come from those that do it. There are some injured patients that will deteriorate if they stop doing maintenance and this negative reversal becomes obvious in as short a time as 3 weeks away from the program. This phenomenon is analogous to the kidney failure patient who deteriorates off of renal dialysis. We recognize then another system failure similar to heart failure, kidney failure and liver failure which is complex and at a molecular and metabolic level.
People are normal prior to exposure but injure their ability to detoxify.
There is both a genetic and an acquired mechanism. Either way, we see enough patients to recognize that there are some who will require very prolonged, even life long ongoing biodetoxification if they are to maintain their health. Worker's may achieve maximum medical improvement, but if you stop maintenance, they will deteriorate. Another patient demonstrated the effectiveness of Biodetoxification after almost a lifetime of injury from exposure to organophosphate pesticides. This was a 31 year old woman with overt signs of psychosis manifesting auditory hallucinations, bizarre behavior and panic attacks.
