Our bodies are built to handle toxins. Good thing --- because they are all around us - in our food, air and water. Total release of environmental chemicals and toxins in the U.S. is estimated at 24 billion pounds annually, according to a report by several organizations, including Physicians for Social Responsibility. Wrap your mind around that. It is almost inconceivable.

These environmental toxins, such as benzenes, dioxins, toluene and PCB's, have the potential to affect the way our bodies and brains develop, degenerate or regenerate, especially in the womb. 

Some developmental and neurological problems in children are caused by exposure to known toxic substances. Most of these chemicals have not been adequately tested for their toxicity to humans, and far fewer for neuron-toxicity:

 Vaccinations - preservatives, toxic metals
 Prescription drugs, including antibiotics
OTC drugs, aspirin, cough meds, Tylenol
 Alcohol or drugs 
 Accumulated toxic metals: cadmium, aluminum, lead, mercury, antimony, arsenic
 Food preservatives, food colorings, additives - cereals, creamers, sodas, sports drinks
 Foods contaminated with chemical fertilizers, pesticides and sprays
 Glues, strong cleaning/degreasing agents, paint strippers, paint, varnishes, sealants, art materials, gasoline (likely to contain solvents)
 Toluene, released by the printing industry (nerve and developmental toxin)
 Fumes, vapors, dusts, strong odors (solvents, metals) - found in detergents, drier sheets and scented air fresheners, as seen in the study below.

NIH Reports Toxin in Air Fresheners
Longnecker, EL, MP, et al, "Volatile Organic Compounds and Pulmonary Function", Environ Health Perspect 114:1210-1214 (2006).

 Exposure to 1,4-DCB (1,4-dichlorobenzene), a volatile organic compound related to the use of air fresheners, toilet bowl deodorants, and mothballs, at levels found in the U.S. general population, may result in reduced pulmonary function. This common exposure may have long-term adverse effects on respiratory health.

There is no doubt that toxic overload in our environment has escalated in the last fifty years. Some people handle it better than others. However, now there are more allergies, immune susceptibilities and more inflammatory problems than ever because these toxins are layered in our tissues.

And it's not just one --- it's many. Most toxicity or toxic overload is cumulative. It's not just the air fresheners, the dryer sheets, the nutrasweet in your coffee, the preservatives in your creamer, the chemicals on your lawn, your sunscreen, your medications, and ... there is a long list ---- it's the whole ball of wax. It's all the chemicals, preservatives, fertilizers, colorings, and additives put together --- even the ones you put on your skin.

This is why it is hard to pinpoint the cause of so many diseases --- cancer, Parkinson's, lupus, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's, rheumatoid arthritis --- they seem to be such mysteries, because -------- there is "no one cause"... no one thing to blame --- just Total Body Overload.

Total Body Overload can cause:
 ADHD, ADD, hyperactivity, fidgetiness, inability to get along with others
 Anxiety, fearfulness, inability to handle stress
 Asthma, sinusitis, ear infections, respiratory problems, and congestion 
 Autoimmune diseases: Fibromyalgia, hypo thyroid, lupus, MS. rheumatoid arthritis
 Brain fog, depression, poor memory, cognitive decline (due to toxins in the brain)
 Decreased ability to heal, regenerate or grow
 Fatigue, low vitality, low motivation
 Hormone imbalances due to poor hormone conversion in the liver
 Inflammation, arthritis, pain, fibromyalgia
 Insomnia, nightmares, fear, sweats
 Skin problems, rashes, eczema, psoriasis
 Weight imbalances due to poor metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins or fats     

We have all incurred toxicity in our lifetimes and it is important to peel the layers and embark on removal, in order to prevent or improve disease states. This is one form of detoxification. 
       
In order to enhance detoxification for adults and children, it is important to "open the channels". In other words, enhance the body's natural detoxification pathways - the lungs, liver, lymph system, bowels, kidneys and skin. This is vital in order to usher the toxins out of the body.

To accomplish this, we use:

1) Homeopathic preparations can be customized for your or your child's needs. These can enhance drainage of chemicals, metals, allergens and other toxins from the body. 
 
2) Nutritional supplement programs can be individualized for you or your children to enhance cleansing and supporting the immune system, kidneys, liver, lungs and other organs.

These products are so much more effective when they are customized using a sample of your saliva, so please remember to give or send us your sample for your next order. The custom remedies work so efficiently and expedite healing and balance.
