Oxidative reactions could be compared to a nuclear reactor. The reaction is what creates energy, but it must be kept in check. So it is a balance between oxidation and checking and replenishment of the system by antioxidants.
When when we are detoxing there are more toxins moving through the system that can create run away oxidation reactions - free radicals - that are like fire crackers whizzing around damaging everything in their path. So we need some damage limitation strategies for that.
So how do we keep the furness burning nicely without damping the fire, while keep damage limitation from free radicals at a minimum.
Firstly keeping oxidative therapy and antioxidant therapy separate. For examples sake, the use of Ozone and Hydrogen Peroxide as alternative cancer treatments - oxidative therapies, would not want to be done at the same time as antioxidant protocols.
For us, the best oxidative therapy is exercise. This is a great way to increase oxygen supply to the body. But it will kick up some crap, so there will be more free radicals running around the system after exercise. So this is the time (not before) to get some antioxidants into your system. A veggie juice is an excellent way to recover from exercise.
The other way to avoid damping the fire whilst keeping free radicals in check, is using whole food state antioxidants. These will not create an imbalance the system. So here I have list some of the most powerful antioxidants (or as it would be better termed anti-free radicals) that are my favourites.
Green vegetable juices - love this stuff!
Raw vegetable foods - watercress is a good one.
Whole fruits, especially berries - amazing!
Raw cacao
Sumac
Olive leaf extract - love this stuff too!
