Organohalides (including pesticides) and many other organic toxins are lipid soluble, both in animals and in man -- and some of those chemicals are thryo-toxic (the thyroid gland is particularly sensitive to many xenobiotics); some are also carcinogenic.
So, when you eat more fat, everything else being equal, you are also increasing your intake of fat-soluble toxins. Eating organic helps, but it isn't a cure-all, due to the prevalence of toxins in the environment.
[[MORE]]The situation is compounded if you start losing weight or when you begin exercising after a long period of not doing do, because the toxins that your body has worked hard to sequester in your fat get released into the blood, which can result in fatigue, brain fog, skin rashes, immune system issues, and a number of other problems.
One way to address this issue (other than donating blood, which clearly only addresses part of the problem) is to stimulate the activity of certain detox enzymes, such as gluthathione S-transferase, and to increase excretion of bile (a fat-rich compound that transports fat-soluble toxins). This can be done by introducing coffee into the lower part of the large intestine (low-volume coffee enema), where caffeine and several related compounds are absorbed into the portal vein and carried directly to the liver, bypassing full-body circulation. Once in the liver, the choleretic effect and the associated increase in enzyme activity rapidly clears the blood. This can be particularly effective after exercising, and can also help shorten recovery time.
As with iodine supplements, coffee enemas are another key component of Dr Max Gerson's successful (and controversial) cancer treatment program. Here's a link to an article with some background:
