As the body gets cleaner on the inside, it will gradually become less tolerant of toxins. It sets a new equilibrium for what what will trigger a detoxification reaction (i.e. acute illness like cold and flu symptoms).
As the body gets dirtier on the inside, it becomes increasingly tolerant of toxins and gradually succumbs to ever greater levels of impairment in order to deal with the toxic overload (i.e. chronic illness like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, etc).
If I were to eat a cheeseburger, I'd probably get very sick within a couple hours or less. My body would react as if it's been poisoned. But someone who's accustomed to that level of toxicity could eat cheeseburgers all week and might not feel much differently. Many raw foodists experience strong negative reactions when they eat cooked food because their bodies have set a new equilibrium, so the cooked food triggers an immune response.
