The Detoxification System & Why We Need Bio-Solvents to Live
Writings on the importance of understanding human biology.
The evidence supporting the existence of viruses and their importance to our biological system becomes apparent when we delve into the understanding of our biological mechanisms.
The detoxification system, a complex system within the human body and all living organisms, is often misunderstood by the average person. It is challenging for most individuals to visually comprehend such intricate and complex inner workings. Four years ago, when I delved into the study of molecular modeling and animation, I started to mentally visualize the functioning of cells in order to replicate them as closely to reality as possible. To grasp how the body detoxifies, renews, and heals, it is crucial to have at least a basic understanding of the cell. I began envisioning cells as organelles surrounded by a membrane of elastic fluid that behaves similarly to oil. At the atomic level, the phospholipid bilayer membrane vibrates with brownian motion and contains various ion channels. In essence, the cell membrane is a fatty membrane, not too dissimilar from a droplet of oil in water. Optical microscopy evidence shows us that the cell membrane can stretch considerably, allowing movement as well as the passage of objects through its membrane.1 This stretching is evident in phagocytic cells, which can engulf and encapsulate debris, neutralizing it and housing it away from the fluids of the rest of the body. In phagocytic processes, debris is digested and metabolized. As this occurs, the material is broken down, then excreted in a smaller form than it initially took in.2 This shows us the efficient nature of the human body.
I started seeing the cell as a miniature living organism, capable of metabolizing food, breaking it down, utilizing it as energy, and excreting waste—the cycle of life. I began to realize that the human body, along with all its tissues, are entirely made up of various types of living cells. Humans are essentially a collection of trillions of cells, each contributing to our human form, shape, and expression.3 No tissue in the body would exist without the cell. Moreover, these cohesive cells that comprise our bodies possess complex intelligence and memory, among other things.
Within this framework, cells, as microscale humans, are susceptible to similar issues as their larger counterparts (us). While humans are robust, we are still subject to the elements surrounding us—both organic and inorganic; both natural and manmade. Both can be equally as dangerous to life.
In this realm, a fascinating visualization emerges—cells moving in the three-dimensional space within the body's tissues and fluids. As I contemplated this, my thoughts naturally gravitated towards the essence of our existence. I discovered that life, at its most fundamental level, revolves around survival. Each cell strives to survive, to sustain its own life and preserve its immediate environment. Even the tiniest life forms visible to our eyes, such as the tiniest ants or baby cockroaches, exhibit signs of survival mechanisms. These creatures display instinctual behaviors driven by the pursuit of survival. It became evident that individual cells possess simple forms of intelligence and modes of operation. However, when considered collectively, our cells give rise to the whole of the human being. Cells act in harmony, with the entirety of the body responding cohesively at a cellular level within a fraction of a second when confronted with danger.
