The difference between medical and natural liver cleanse
After considering the most common myths about a liver cleanse and detox, we should point out the difference between detox from two perspectives: medical and natural.
The medical perspective of detox is oriented to solving a medical problem. Doctors would only mention toxicity if you have an overdose with medication, an overdose of over-the-counter drugs, or intoxication with heavy metals.
From a medical perspective, detox starts with an emergency phase where you’re actually in an emergency room, and doctors use intravenous substances to get rid of the toxin or clear the overdose. Antidotes are used depending on the substance, and once you’re stabilized, a maintenance phase starts in which you are followed up, and doctors will assess your liver function to see if there is any damage after what happened.
From a natural perspective, detox is more of the day-to-day maintenance of liver function. No emergencies, no overdose. It’s recognizing that the liver handles toxins every day, trying not to compromise our liver’s work, and evaluating ways to boost liver function when necessary. For example, people who work around fumes and heavy metals use a protection device to work, but they may also want to use a natural remedy that boosts liver enzymes to help them get rid of toxins faster.
