Environmental Toxicity
Toxins include chemical pollutants,
heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, drugs,
alcohol, smoke, food additives.
6 billion pounds of chemical pollutants
are released into the US environment
per year
EPA reports 87,000 new chemicals are
introduced into use each year

Bowel Toxicity is a Major Problem
Our diets are not optimal – many of us have substituted healthy
meals for poor diets that lack nutritional value to fuel the body’s
detoxification capacity.
Poor diet leads to the build up of unhealthy bacteria in your bowel
system which makes you even more toxic and leads to gut
inflammation & food allergies.
The
SAD
diet: (Standard American Diet)
an excess of meat (proteins), fats, and sugar.
deficiencies of raw plants, vegetables, fruits.
lack of nutrients in the food due to the fact that
the food is processed.
the foods have various additives, toxins,
such as preservatives, and hormones.
Toxins = Poor Health
Symptoms include
Headaches, dizziness
Joint pain, muscle aches
Allergies, asthma and other sensitivities

Alzheimers
Autoimmune disease

How Toxins Cause Damage
Toxins are ‘Free Radicals’ which cause
Oxidative Stress leading to
Inflammation and tissue damage and
destruction
Example of oxidation – leaving a banana
unpeeled and it starts to brown – this is
what happens to our body all the time
Our body combats oxidative stress with
antioxidants which are often deficient in
our diet. Vitamin C is a great antioxidant.
The inflammation caused by toxicity
causes hypersensitivity reactions -
from headaches to allergies to joint
pain
Toxins block cellular signaling
mechanisms in the body - hormonal &
neuronal
Toxicity and Weight Gain
Toxins are stored in fat cells as a means of
removing them from circulation. It is how
the body protects itself from the serious
damage toxins may cause. The end result is
toxic weight gain.
Another way that the body protects the
cells from the damaging and irritating
effects of toxins is by diluting the toxic
body fluids - the result is fluid weight gain.
When individuals begin to loose weight, the toxins that were stored in their fat
cells are released into circulation. This is often accompanied by feelings of
discomfort. As the discomfort increases, people often return to eating foods
that promote the building of fat again, allowing for the storage again of toxins,
which then helps the body to feel better.
To be effective, any weight loss or weight maintenance program MUST support
ongoing detoxification
