Correcting problems with the
Extracellular Matrix
The body does have a way to correct problems in
the extracellular matrix. Everyday for a twelve hour
period, the body actually works to break down
aspects of the extracellular matrix. If the extracellular
matrix has become too congested, it opens up
pathways to the cells. This breakdown also helps
sweep away waste products and toxins trapped in the
extracellular matrix.
(As analogy, think of a forest. You can have pathways
through the forest allowing easy travel through it or it
can be so over grown that traversing it is extremely
difficult.)
