Detoxification

WHY IS DETOXIFICATION IMPORTANT?

We are constantly exposed to pollutants in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Even clothes, cosmetics, lotions are loaded with dangerous chemicals.

These harmful substances, in the long term, induce damage to the body. Because we cannot metabolize or eliminate them naturally, they accumulate and eventually produce serious diseases of many different types, including, but not limited to cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, allergies, MS and other autoimmune disorders, heart disease, arthritis, chronic fatigue, and neuroligical conditions. We have an internal detoxification system. However, so many toxins accumulate that our system becomes overloaded. Toxins are then stored in fat tissue, progressively leaking out and damaging our organs, thus producing diseases and accelerated aging.

WHEN IS DETOXIFICATION NEEDED?

Nobody can live in a toxin-free environment any more. Therefore a regular detoxification is needed to help us with and prevent chronic diseases.

Unexplained headaches and fatigue, indigestion, joint or muscle pain, lack of energy, decreased memory, abnormal body odor, brittle nails and hair, tremors, acne, are just a few signs that a detoxification is necessary.

Of course, if someone has been exposed to harsh pollutants- pesticides, cleaning solvents...- or has used a lot of alcohol or steroid hormones, detoxification is of prime importance to this person's health.

TOXINS ARE OF DIFFERENT KINDS AND ORIGINS

PLASTICS

The Phtalates released from plastics, including plastic wraps, bottles, styrofoam, in our foods and drinks, interfere with our hormones.  They can cause infertility, fatigue, depression, mood swings, hyperactivity, thyroiditis, low sex drive and energy, endometriosis, learning disability and much more. When they accumulate in organs, they trigger hormone-related cancers: breast, prostate, thyroid, testicular.

 
In our modern society we use a lot of plastics for different purposes such as to wrap or store food, but we found them also in water, baby or other plastic bottes, styrofoam products, toys, medical devices (IV lines), cosmetics, and more.
Unfortunately some of these plastics seem to interfere with our hormones creating all kinds of potential health problems.
Of particular concern are the chemicals called phthalates, usually found in soft plastics and added to PVC to increase softness, flexibility and durability.
These chemicals contain a hormone-disrupting substance called bisphenol A. This substance can leak into our foods or drinks, especially when exposed to heat. In high amounts, it is likely to promote breast cancer - cells - as well as other cancer cells- proliferation.

The common organ targets of phthalates are the liver, kidneys, testes, thyroid, prostate, breasts, and the fetus is also a target.

Studies performed since the 1980's on lab animals as well as some recent human data indicate that exposure to phthalates are implicated in the following:

- liver, kidney, breast, prostate, testicular, thyroid cancers

- reproductive toxicity- especially testicular atrophy due to decreased testosterone production and depletion of zind in the testis. Male reproductive development seems to be very sensitive to some phthalates. The phthalates dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) are particular involved in the reduced development of male sexual characteristics during in vitro exposure, as well as a low sperm count and quality later in adultwood.
In May 2005, researchers have finally identified an association between pregnant women’s exposure to phthalates and their side effects on sexual development in their male babies.

- developmental toxicities, includingvarious birth defects and even fetal deaths, learning disabilities in children.

- allergies: the result of studies done in 2006 indicates an increase in response to allergens after exposure to phthates.

- early puberty : in 2000, Puerto Rican scientists reported on an association between exposure to DEHP and premature breast development in young girls.

- Infertility: men exposed to environmental levels of phthalates , in 2002/2003 studies, showed DNA damage in the sperm, reduced sperm quality.

More and more debates have been developed to ensure safer products especially for children who may be at higher risk than adults.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended in 2003 that more research on phthalates effects on the fetus and infants be performed.

By disrupting our hormones, it is extremely likely that the ubiquitous contaminants phthalates induce various health problems, including cancer and thus we should be very wise in our use of these products and try to avoid as much exposure as we possibly can.



PESTICIDES
Found in some of our foods, pesticides also interfere with hormones and are carcinogenic.

HEAVY METALS
Cadmium, aluminum, mercury, antimony, lead and arsenic are some of them which are hidden toxins in our foods because of industrial discharges in bodies of water and in the air we breathe because of vehicles exhaust and manufacturing smokes.aluminum.jpg

These metals cannot leave the body without external help. They are stored in the fat cells and become carcinogens. Alumninum is well known for contributing to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and is present in cans, utensils, baking powders, antacids, etc. Dentists still use mercury amalgams and mercury-based glues to cement crowns and fillings. Mercury is a dangerous poison to our nervous system. It causes, for example, chronic fatigue, hearing loss, depression, multiple sclerosis, anxiety, insomnia, neuropathy and fibromyalgia.

Toxins can also be produced by some bacteria and yeast in the digestive tract. These toxins have been shown to be involved in serious chronic diseases, such as cancer, asthma, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, allergies and autoimmune diseases- rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, diabetes, myasthenia gravis.

PATHOGENS & PARASITES

Besides pollutants, other causes of diseases are large parasites and other hidden pathogens.  Dr. H Clark's research has uncovered the involvement of worms such as the fluke, in many medical conditions from cancer to Alzheimer' and Crohn's diseases, diabetes and endometriosis. The worms are actually able to develop because they strive on the pollutants in our body. These substances facilitate the worms' life cycle, making them fully pathogenic. Bacteria from hidden sources often cause pain in other parts of the body. For example, foot pain may be linked to bacteria in teeth cavitations or even in bottled water.
