  You put it better than I did. Thanks.

  I’m glad you’ve found your trigger. My grandmother had pretty bad psoriasis, she never found her trigger (this was before autoimmune conditions were as well understood as today) but it seemed to go into remission a bit when she’d expose the affected areas to sunlight.

  I think it’s important to know that doctors don’t always know best. I made a post a little higher up about the saturated fat hypothesis with regards to heart disease. Many people get set in their ways, whether they have a “Dr.” in front of their names or not. I’m just a lowly trainer, and I have to take continuing education courses so I’m keeping pace with the latest research and best practices. I think it’s only fair that all doctors be forced to stay updated as well.

  You make good points. I guess what I really wanted to say is that 90% of the time when people talk about toxins and try to offer up a solution, they don’t even know what they’re trying to talk about. There certainly are substances that bio-accumulate. And as you say, understanding what is actually there, what can be measured, what is problematic, and then reducing intake should be key in solving the issue.

  Another thing I think is important to understand is that the science is continually evolving. I’ve encountered plenty of doctors who insist you should eliminate saturated fat from your diet as much as you can, and that’s key to reducing your odds of heart disease. This is the old hypothetical model of heart disease. Modern studies tend not to agree. But people are still being told the same old things.

  I’m a personal trainer with certifications in fitness nutrition (I’m not a dietitian, those are actual licensed medical practitioners you go to see about dietary needs. I can legally provide guidelines, but I can’t prescribe meal plans.)

  Our body is great at getting rid of toxins and waste products. It’s almost as if we’ve evolved ways of dealing with such things. Anyone talking about “toxins” and “waste products” as if they’re ‘stuck’ in your body is either very ignorant, or trying to sell you snake oil. Probably both. I’ve seen a lot of it, especially in my profession. People making up bullshit to sound knowledgeable and sell you something you don’t need. And yeah, a lot of trainers are just as ignorant and just trying to sell you something you don’t need.
