We as Americans consume up to 5000 toxic chemicals on a daily basis. Many of these are NOT tested by the FDA. They come from food, drink, plastics and the air we breathe. And this does not take into account ever present electro smog from cell phones, cell towers, computers, etc.
Fortunately, if you’re living in Lake County, you breathe the cleanest air in California and as I read recently, probably the entire USA.
However, if you’re eating commercial food (as compared to organically grown food) you will be exposed to an alarming amount of pesticides, miticides, and fungicides.
Added to this, stress and pressures of life can dampen the immune response and hinder the bodies ability to detoxify this onslaught of toxins. This may also lead to excessive weight gain and associated problems.
Make no mistake about it, the accumulation of pesticides in the body are not entirely eliminated through bodily functions. They can and do accumulate in the tissues and do cause harm. In small amounts they are probably pretty harmless, but through continual consumption they will cause health problems.
For instance, it is well known that heavy metals from dental amalgams (which are 50 percent mercury) are neurotoxic and can co-create memory problems. Mercury vapors from dental fillings may be transported by the trigeminal nerves in the oral cavity up into the brain.
The best course of action here is to find a dentist qualified to remove the silver/mercury amalgams and have them replaced by ceramic fillings.
I tell my patients to go on a detox/cleanse at least twice a year. (I’ll discuss the detox procedure more thoroughly in a future article).
Also this will include a cleanse of all industrial chemicals, pesticides, plastics as well as heavy metals.
The heavy metal cleanse is best done through a process called chelation. The process traps the metal molecules in tiny cages if zeolite is used. So zeolite is created by the chemicals in lava as it meets the ocean. A white substance is created and this can be used to neutralize and capture the metals in the body, as the zeolite is a positive magnetically, and the metals are generally negative in nature, so there is an attraction.
More on the detox and rejuvenation process in a future article.
