PLASTICS TOXICITY

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.

JANUARY ARTICLE: ON THE IMPORTANCE OF BODY DETOXIFICATION

On a more down-to-earth note, the holidays, and winter time in general, are times when we eat more, exercise less and the result is accumulation of harmful toxins in the body.

Toxins may impair the immune system during a time of the year when we most surely need a good defense system against all the widely spread pathogenic viruses and bacteria.

Do not forget that, in the long term, toxins also induce damage to the body. Because we cannot metabolize or eliminate them naturally, they accumulate in fat tissues 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, fibromyalgia, depression, neurological conditions, skin blemishes and rapid aging. 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.

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.

Toxins are of different types and origins:

From plastics that interfere with our hormonal system to the carcinogenic pesticides and the neurotically impairing heavy metals in many foods, water and even the air we breathe, and pathogens, we are constantly exposed to, ingest and store these dangerous substances.

How to get rid of these toxins?

Most common detoxification options include:

- herbal cleanse and detox cocktails

- ionic detox footspa
- far infrared therapy
- ozone therapy

- colon hydrotherapy
- Rife machine
- biomagnetic pulser therapy
- colloidal silver
-ear candling
- lymphatic drainage

 

Here is a review of a few of those methods:

The Ionic detox footspa:

This system is a professional total body detoxification device which provides a unique method for eliminating unhealthy toxins from the body. The device creates a surge of ions through the body that neutralizes the toxins. The body discards the toxins through the approximate 2000 pores located on the sole of the feet. The ionic detox machine can also rebalance the meridians. People who have used this system report the following
positive effects:

- increased energy
- better sleep
- relief of pain and joint stiffness due to arthritis
- improved immune functions (fight infections better)
- increased blood circulation
- reduced water retention
- allergies relief
- improved organ functions
- better looking skin
- positive effect on weight loss

Far Infrared therapy:

Far Infrared therapy:

Infrared light is part of the sun light spectrum which wavelengths fall just above the visible light. We experience its energy as gently, radiant heat. Therefore far infrared therapy is light therapy as well as gentle heat therapy. Besides general detoxification, it may help with problems such as:

Other supplementary aids include:

Choline, Inositol and L-Methionine are useful in enhancing detoxification reactions and liver function. Copper, Magnesium , Selenium, Zinc and Vitamin C are very important nutrients for the key enzymes needed for detoxification. Glutathione also plays a key role in detoxification and L-Glutamine promotes the synthesis of glutathione.

Other helpful products are chlorophyll, Reishi mushrooms, Vitamin A, alfalfa, acidophilus, coenzyme Q10, lecithin , lipoid acid and oat bran.

You will find in health food stores and on line many ready-made detoxification formulas.

One simple detox cocktail proposed by Dr Hulda Clark is the following:

A teaspoon of Vitamin C powder + 300-600 mg of Lipoic acid + 400-800 mg of glutathione.

Have this with 1-2 big glasses of water, once or twice a day.

As with all herbal supplements, beware of the interferences they may have with your medications if you are taking any. The research is still poor when it comes to the possible interactions between medications and herbs!
