Glucuronidation Pathway
- Detoxifies medications like aspirin, food additives like benzoates and preservatives, and some steroid hormones.
Glutathione Transferase Pathway:
- Detoxifies heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides.
Acetylation Pathway:
The Amino Acid Conjugation Pathway:
- Detoxifies toluene (a solvent), benzoate (a food preservative) and other environmental chemicals.
The Methylation Pathway:
- Detoxifies hormones, neurotransmitters, or toxins, by making them water soluble; detoxifies amines (serotonin, melatonin, histamine, tyramine, and all of the catecholamines: dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine), phenols (salicylic acid—aspirin, cannabinoids, estradiol, and BPA), and many other chemicals. Genetic mutations in the methylation cycle can cause mental/emotional imbalance, migraines, hormone imbalance, and toxicity.
Liver detoxification is complex! Be cautious about signing up for just any “detox” plan, because it’s very important to keep the liver and all it’s pathways in sync. A great detox takes the individual and symptoms into consideration. If you are interested in trying a detox, working with a Naturopathic Doctor can enhance your results. I’d love to help you choose the solution that’s right for you. Contact me at Boise Natural Health Clinic for your spring detox!
