Genetics and Detoxification


We are all exposed to toxins. One of the ways the body rids itself of them is through what is called phase ll detoxification. Simply stated, the liver adds a substance to a toxin to make it easy to remove. The GLUTATHIONE S-TRANSFERASE THETA 1 or GSTT1 gene plays an important role in this process. It is an enzyme that, among other things, aids in the removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) present in grilled meats. PAHs can cause damage to DNA resulting in cancer. In some individuals this gene is deleted so the enzyme isn't present. The good news is there are diet and lifestyle changes that can still support detoxification.

GSTT1 is just one of over 130 genes tested in a 3x4 genetic test. The power of this test is that it provides personalized recommendations. Visit my website healingfoodforcancer.com or give me a call 513-607-6659 to learn about promotional pricing through the end of August.
