Matt Kelly explains how toxins damage cell membranes and alter their structure, causing the immune system to treat the changed cells as foreign invaders and attack them, potentially triggering autoimmune reactions.

How does a toxin or toxicant turn on chemical signature of a bad guy? One is it can go in and it can cause oxidative damage, and that can cause free radical damage, which can change the lipid structure. It can change the fluidity of the cell membrane, but it also can mess with the receptor sites on the outside or the channels or all of the above. So basically what happens with toxicity or toxicants is the cell can get rid of some of them. But the bottom line is the cell can only handle so much. But if I've sort of encrusted my cell membranes with other toxicity that just shouldn't be in my body, eventually the immune system's gonna come and say, we're gonna make a memory against the bad guy, and now from here on out. So that's basically how that happens.
