When your body fires an immune response against a toxin it cannot kill, your immune system becomes either Th1 or Th2 dominant. This attack is against your own tissues (where the toxin is lodged).

There are 3 types of toxins:

  1. Bio-toxin (Lyme, HIV, etc.)
  2. Chemo-toxin (Mercury, Lead, etc.)
  3. Food-Based toxin (Gluten protein, Dairy protein)
