Stage 1: The Excretion Phase

When a tissue is exposed to something toxic,

something potentially damaging, the body tries to

protect itself and remove the toxin as efficiently as

possible. This is called the excretion phase. Lets

use a few examples to help you understand.

Imagine you have eaten some bad food, something

with a potentially damaging bacteria culture in it.

This tainted food enters the body and the body

senses that this may or actually is damaging cells.

The body's strategy for protecting itself is to

quickly excrete the noxious bacteria from the body

before it can do further damage. The first way this

is done is by vomiting the bad food/bacteria out.

The second way is by giving you diarrhea. Notice

the strategy the body uses here . It will first add

fluids to the noxious food to dilute it which will

decrease the amount of damage it does. Then it

will forcefully expel it out, usually many times to

make sure it expels ALL of the noxious substance.

Another example is sneezing. Here the tissues in

your nose become aware there is an irritant in the

air that has entered the nose. The sneeze is an
