More Information
Summary:Non-absorbable polyol polyesters dissolve toxic lipophilic compounds in the stomach and intestine of humans and lower animals and thus decrease their absorption. The polyol polyesters also dissolve the toxic, lipophilic materials and their metabolites if they are excreted in bile, and prevent their resorption. The invention thus provides a means for detoxifying humans and lower animals which have ingested toxic lipophilic materials (e.g., DDT, Kepone, PCB, PBB) by accelerating the excretion of such materials that have accumulated in the body. The process involves oral administration to a human or lower animal in need of such treatment of a sufficient amount of a non-absorbable polyol fatty acid polyester to effect detoxification.
