Re: Liver/Iodine any thoughts? +update
i have given blood off and on over the years. two things i noticed. one, there were a lot of old men there who were faithful and had the gallon pins to prove it. the other was that when i gave blood i felt better, more energetic.
bleeding is an excellent way to get rid of toxins. women spend half their lives doing it monthly. take a woman athlete under 7% body fat and she will lose a lot of breast mass and her periods will be almost non-existent.
my theory is that heavy flow is the body taking advantage of a way to expel toxins. fasting, flushing and cleansing are the key.
funny, you dont see a lot of old women giving blood. these old men? i dont think they are being that altruistic. i think they are getting something out of it. they actually feel physically better by giving blood. an occasional orange juice fast would accomplish the same thing.
i also think this is one reason why women tend to outlive men - a lighter burden of lifetime toxins stored in the body.
