MDs say fasting does not remove toxins but doesn't the liver excrete toxins into the feces?

The liver's role in detoxification of drugs, etc., is a complex one. It is achieved through a complex system of enzymes that metabolize chemicals so that they can be excreted in the feces or urine. These functions do not depend on one's fasting status (within reason -- prolonged starvation impairs liver function).
MDs who say that are making a correct yet dumb statement. Fasting does nothing. It's not fasting that removes toxins from your body, it's the body that does all the removing through the liver, the kidneys, the skin, and any other way you can think of. When a person is fasting, because there are no toxins entering the body, it allows the body to work on removing toxins that have been stored in it for long periods of time, instead of trying to keep up with all the toxins people keep stuffing in themselves. It's funny that MDs make such statements, and even funnier that people keep falling for them!
If you eat correctly your body doesn't need to "keep up with all the toxins people keep stuffing in themselves" and then such cleansing fasts are not necessary. The body is only over-worked and over-taxed in this regard if your diet is truly horrible, but if this is the case, you are unlikely to be the sort of person who would consider a cleansing fast anyway, right? MDs say these kinds of things because it makes more sense to correct your diet and eat properly than it does to keep eating crap and then to go on regular fasts to cleanse yourself. This is hardly foolhardy advice, is it?

Why do you give amphogel instead of maalox to renal patients?
I just found this out because my dog is in renal failure. Amphogel (aluminum hydroxide) is a "phosphorus binding agent" which is needed to excrete phosphorus due to the failing kidney's ability to process and excrete toxins. Build up of toxins in the system takes place when the kidneys are damaged and or failing and they're unable to process these toxins and excrete from the body in the urine. Hope this helps

What is a bacterial disease cause by contaminated food?
The bacteria's waste products are toxic to humans. They eat the food, excrete toxins, and when you eat the toxins you get sick. This is especially true for anaerobic bacteria. It is also possible for the bacteria themselves to infect your body, but it's still pretty much the same process. The bacteria eat bits of you, excrete toxins, and you get sick. That's VERY basic, of course, but the long answer is quite long & that's the gist of it.
