If the toxins keep sitting in the extracellular matrix and the liver fix them up once it gets unoccupied, no harm is done to the body. However, situations can get far more complicated if the toxins keep sitting in the extracellular matrix for a long period of time.
Free Radical Damage
Too many toxins start causing free radical damage wherever they sit or move. Toxins are unstable molecules that need to receive electrons to neutralize them. They try to snatch the electron from the cells and it leads to oxidative stress to the cells and the tissues. A lot of these cells also kill our immune cells that try to fight them off.
The constant struggle between the immune cells, the toxins and the pathogens leads to increased levels of inflammation of the surrounding cells. The inflamed cells are not able to perform optimally which leads to poor performance of the organs.
Bio-Film
These cells create a bio-film in the extracellular matrix which becomes a breeding ground for the pathogens. All kinds of pathogens like viruses, fungus, bacteria grow freely within the bio-film as the immune cells or macrophages of our body are not able to attack them under the bio-film. When these pathogens break loose, they cause all kinds of illnesses.
The problem today is far more serious than it was ever in the history. The amount of harmful toxins we are getting inside our bodies is simply much more than it can probably handle. Air pollution, water pollution, pesticides, preservatives and all kind of garbage in our food, sedentary lifestyle, emotional stress, cosmetics, etc. is making our health suffer far more than we realize.
Inflammation - The Silent Killer
The toxins and pathogens are crossing all the protective layers and getting inside the inner sanctum, our cells. When the toxins cross the cell membrane, they don't allow the cell organelles to function optimally and the cells can start behaving in irregular fashions. They cause severe inflammation within the cells and our health starts suffering. Inflammation is considered a silent killer, the cause behind the degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, immune dysfunctions, etc.
Furthermore, constant exposure to all kinds of radio waves like mobile signals, etc. can lead to brain inflammation.
Think about it for a second. 'Are my cells inflamed?' If you will look carefully enough, you will find the answer to the question to be a big 'Yes'. The reason is 'toxicity'. We cannot allow the toxins to keep getting inside our body at such a high rate.
