theory/Question about receptors
A few months ago I introduced some high fat dairy into my diet for about a week, and something very unusual happened. The orange calluses on my palms(from weight lifting) completely lost their orange color. The same thing happened to my feet. I've been wondering if Vitamin A was replacing the beta-carotene which were bound to cell receptors. Although, I didn't consume dairy for longer than a week and a half, this "benefit" did persist. Maybe the retinol is bound up to the receptors until something better comes to replace it, just as the betacarotene was holding the place. In theory, another possible way of detoxing is finding what actually needs to be bound up to the receptors. It's almost like the body will use whatever is available, until something better comes and takes its place. I know Garret Smith has spoken about DHA and Phytanic acid, but the research is not clear to say whether they are beneficial or not.
In short, whatever is "better" than retinol should theoretically replace it, just as retinol replaces beta carotene. This is actual seen in study I posted about making milk with high Vitamin A. Supplementing pure retinol actually reduces the beta carotene content of milk.
