Detoxify & Cleanse

Did you know that you are exposed to approximately 80,000 toxins each day? Do you think that this may be having a negative impact on your health, or perhaps on your family (the young and elderly are often the most vulnerable)? Yes, we have organs that filter our blood, including the liver and kidneys, though, in our current toxic world, our organs have a particular capacity to handle them; at some point, often after years of low-level ongoing exposure, the limits are reached and you’re left wondering why you have new symptoms, developed a ‘sudden’ illness, or have developed more sensitivities/intolerances than you had earlier. In this brief overview, I’ll discuss the value of testing for and addressing your ‘chemical load’ that your body is carrying.

Here are a few examples of everyday chemical exposures that may be affecting you and your children (click on the links to see the actual research citations):

Common signs and symptoms of toxic overload:

headaches (also migraine)
skin redness
anxiety
difficulty conceiving
depression

Illnesses associated with low-level ongoing chemical exposures:

Autoimmune illnesses (eg: thyroid disease, lupus)
Cancers
Cardiovascular disease
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Diabetes

Fibromyalgia
High blood pressure
Infertility
Neurological disorders (eg: dementia, Parkinson’s disease)

Testing for toxins

I recommend annual testing of your individual ‘toxin load’ in addition to a annual nutrition test. A variety of tests are available including sampling from hair, urine, blood and stool. Read more
