now this information is very very

important if you are on medications if

you know of someone on medications send

them this video because I’m going to

show you how to greatly reduce the side

effects for medication now one primary

reason uh why a lot of people have side

effects from medication has to do with

something in your liver it’s a certain

group of enzymes that help break down

certain medications and toxins as well

and that that enzyme system is not

working not only are you going to

experience more side effects but the

medication could also not be as

effective as it should now of course you

already know this but I’m all about

giving people alternatives to medication

but there’s certain people that need to

be on medication and uh it’s a really

good thing to minimize the side effects

and then at the end of this I’m going to

give you a download that you can give

your medical doctor

to help them look at a potential DNA

problem that you might have that can

greatly alter

uh the type of medications that you’re

given

and so I will talk about that at the end

but let’s first just talk about what is

an enzyme an enzyme is a protein that

speeds up the chemical reaction in your

body millions of times faster than if

that enzyme wasn’t working

the great majority of medications work

by inhibiting certain enzymes for

example like an Ace inhibitor which

inhibits this Ace enzyme that affects

the blood pressure like aspirin inhibits

something called Cox enzymes that relate

to inflammation and so enzymes speed up

the reaction but what’s really

interesting about enzymes is they don’t

seem to use their own energy in this

work that they do in other words they

can keep being recycled and they seem to

be very magical in that way the other

thing about enzymes in order to make

them work is they need helper molecules

they need what’s called cofactors or

coenzymes and those are basically

vitamins and minerals and so now you

know very simply why we need vitamins

and minerals to allow these enzymes to

work in our body and we have millions

and millions of millions of different

enzymes in the body that create all

sorts of different effects but the

primary enzymes I’m going to talk about

today are called The Phase One the phase

two enzymes now these are families of

enzymes they’re groups of enzymes

they’re not just one enzyme and the

phase one enzymes in your liver are

called cytochrome p450 enzymes again

there’s a family of them and if there’s

any problem with this enzyme you’re not

going to get the the breakdown or the at

least the start of the breakdown of this

drug or toxin or whatever’s trying to be

broken down and then when you get into

phase two which works with phase one you

have other enzyme groups called

glutathione enzymes so you have both of

these working together to take a poison

I’m sorry a medication and dismantle it

and then turn it into a harmless

water-soluble particle that can be

eliminated through the urine or the

sweat or the bowel and this doesn’t just

have to do with medication breakdown

this has a lot to do with pesticides

herbicides fungicides Benzene from

petroleum products that you’re exposed

to

Pro carcinogens which are cancer-causing

things

smoke the chemicals in Smoke alcohol

estrogen so this enzyme system is very

very important not necessarily just to

reduce the side effects but also the

effectiveness of a drug but also to

prevent cancer because a lot of these

medications or toxins that you’re

exposed to if they’re not fully broken

down they can build up in the body and

accumulate and create toxicity and

increase your risk for cancer and other

problems why am I talking about this

right now well recently I’m doing a deep

dive into genetics and it’s a

fascinating topic and there’s certain

problems that go on with your DNA and

your genes that can end up causing a

problem with your inability to detoxify

one section that I’m studying right now

is all about the detoxification genes

and a big one which is a common problem

is a mutation of this cytochrome

p450 enzyme system there’s over 2 000

different mutations that you can have

with this one Gene and it can lead to a

lot of problems so if you get your DNA

tested and you find this being a problem

then you need to work harder on these

detoxification enzymes and it could be

the reason why you are experiencing

unnecessary side effects from your

medication in general so number one you

can have DNA mutations with these

enzymes okay that’s number one number

two you can have liver problems let’s

say your liver is fatty or let’s say

it’s inflamed or let’s say you have Scar

Tissue as in cirrhosis this can decrease

the function of these this phase one

phase two detoxification also if you’re

consuming grapefruit which is an

inhibitor of this enzyme the cytochrome

p450 that can be a problem because what

happens now that medication that you

take starts to accumulate and it can

create

a much bigger effect than it should and

then also certain medications can

inhibit that enzyme too like Warfarin

antidepressants and even statins so your

doctor needs to be aware of this a lot

of this detoxification can then lead to

inflammation and this is why even like

the omega-3 fatty acids like from the

fish oils that were the olive oil that

are anti-inflammatory that support the

heart and even some of the omega-6 fatty

acids that create inflammation also work

with this enzyme so again if there’s a

problem with this enzyme or your liver

you might not get the full benefit of

you know these fish oils or collard oil

when you’re taking them you still feel

inflamed so the question is how do we

speed up this phase one phase two

detoxification system well you’re in

luck because certain vegetables help to

trigger this enzyme system so in other

words it causes these enzymes just to

work better in your body which is kind

of like can on switch

so you have the cruciferous family of

vegetables and you also have the allium

which is the garlic and onion now if you

do the Christopher Sprouts like broccoli

Sprouts that are very high in

sulforaphane that would be a really big

trigger you can also do a supplement

called dim which is a concentrated form

of cruciferous which is a potent

stimulator of phase one phase 2

detoxification as well now the other

really cool thing which is pretty

inexpensive is you just do fasting

fasting is a potent stimulator of the

phase one phase two detoxification you

wouldn’t think that fasting could do

that but when you don’t eat

you start to detoxify in a good way and

it’s pretty inexpensive now number three

the obvious one is reduce the exposure

of these chemicals and toxins and

poisons and get with your doctor and

maybe there’s alternative versions of

some of the medications that you’re on

so you can take maybe

um natural versions of these medications

and then number four is just

strengthening your liver and one big way

to do that is to get the fat out of the

liver and the way that I recommend to do

that is to get on a healthy version of

the ketogenic diet okay and then there’s

a really good supplement called milk

thistle you can take that that

strengthens the liver and then there’s

also herbal things that you can take

curcumin green tea and garlic like I

mentioned with the allium vegetables and

for more information on how to Target

the liver directly and get that fat off

the liver I should really check out this
