The Metal Barrel Analogy

Think of your body as a metal barrel that can hold fire. What sets the fire are the 7
stressors/toxins discussed. As the level of fire (toxic load) increases in the barrel (body), you
start to show signs/symptoms of black smoke coming out your barrel (body). This is an
indication that your body is not removing toxins fast enough. When the barrel is not getting rid
of toxins from stressors properly, free radicals start to float around all over your whole body
causing oxidative stress, damaging your energy production units (mitochondria), causing
inflammation, and you start to show signs/symptoms (the black smoke) of foundational health
issues related to an impaired metabolism (i.e. high blood sugar, excess waistline fat, etc.).

There are three reasons for the inadequacy of toxins removal: You have too many toxins
coming in, detoxifying organ (liver) are “clogged” or not functioning optimally, or/and you are
not excreting the toxins properly through the skin (via perspiration), kidney (via urine), or/and
bowel (via stool).

Eventually when your barrel (body) cannot hold anymore fire (toxins) depending on how big
your barrel you started up with (genetics), your organs start to not function and your barrel
(body) starts to degrade into a disease state, and ultimately death.
