This system allows fluids and nutrients to flow freely into the cell and allows waste and toxins to exit the cell. Each time the body removes toxins from the cells, it also removes the compound that neutralized the toxin. This is why sulfur is needed in the diet on a frequent, regular basis. Sulfur is a component of insulin, the very important hormone that regulates the uptake of glucose by cells for use as energy.
