Dr. Bill Rawls: Why Your Detox Isn't Working And What's Really Making You Sick | TUH #284

About this video

Physician Dr. Bill Rawls recounts leaving OB/GYN practice after years of sleep deprivation left him with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and gut problems conventional care, he says, could not resolve. He and Brecka discuss his view that chronic illness stems from cellular stress and microbes the body can no longer contain, a detox approach that begins with improving flow through bowels, hydration, sweat and sleep, and protecting liver cells, which Rawls argues are lost with age and with them the ability to process toxins and recycle cholesterol. The goal, Rawls states, is restoring the body’s containment ability rather than eradicating everything in the system.

Key takeaways

• Rawls attributes his own chronic illness partly to, in his telling, years of severe sleep loss on call
• Rawls argues detox should start with increasing flow and elimination rather than aggressive killing of microbes
• Rawls claims protecting liver cells preserves, in his view, detoxification and cholesterol recycling
• Rawls states the aim is restoring the body’s ability to contain microbes, not sterilizing the system
