Toxicity

According to the EPA, our indoor environment is two to five times more toxic than our outdoor environment, and in some cases, the air measurements indoors have been found to be 100 times more polluted; therefore eliminating these toxins will have a much greater impact on our health.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the World Health Organization have concluded that 80% of all cancers are attributed to environmental rather than genetic factors, including exposure to carcinogenic chemicals, many of which are found in household cleaning products.

University of Calgary Video Showing the Destruction that Mercury has on Brain and Nerve Tissue

Mercury is the second most toxic substance on planet earth, with an affinity for our brains and organs. It enters our bodies via our eyes, nose, skin, and mouth with stealth-like abilities, concealed in many current consumer products, even products administered by health professionals. Mercury is also hidden in water sources, the air we breathe, recreational areas, and work places.

Mercury found in vaccinations is the number 1 source of mercury toxicity in infants and number 2 in adults. 25% of all vaccinations today still contain mercury — this includes the flu shot. When mercury is removed from certain vaccines, it is replaced by other heavy metals such as aluminum and formaldehyde.

Mercury is also present inside the mouths of those with amalgam fillings. Studies indicate that the more amalgam fillings are present in your mouth, the more mercury you will have in your organs, including the brain, kidneys, heart and liver.

To detoxify yourself from exposure to heavy metals, follow these guidelines:

  • Daily Detox supplementation (available in office)
  • Supplementation with a high quality probiotic (available in office)
  • Have amalgam fillings safely removed (ask us for recommendation on dentist)
  • Include Dynamic greens into your diet (available in our office)

To detox from exposure to BioToxins:

Activated Carbon (Daily Detox) acts as a magnet within the intestinal lining. The body will then excrete the toxins through the bowel. Take these for 3 months. Follow the Healing Diet. This diet heals cell membranes (recreates cellular integrity for proper import and export) and flushes bad fat through system due to high fat content. Neurotoxins bind to fat cells. Decreases overall inflammation. For true detoxification at a cellular level, you need to take Daily Detox on the daily basis.
