The legacy of the past century was the creation of more than 80,000 industrial chemicals. Each year the U.S releases a staggering 4 billion pounds of these toxins into our environment contaminating the air, water, soil, plants, animals, and, of course, humans.
Mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, pesticides, insecticides, dioxins, furans, phthalates, VOCs, and PCBs are just some of the foreign substances that have created an excessive body burden of harmful chemicals. Most of us have between 400-800 potentially toxic, carcinogenic, endocrine-disrupting, and gene-damaging chemicals stored within our cells.
Toxic exposure begins in the earliest stages of life as the fetus is contaminated by poisons passing through the placenta. The average newborn in the U.S. has over 206 toxic chemicals present in her tiny body the day of birth. The toxic onslaught continues as poisons are passed from the mother to the newborn via the breast milk. The typical baby and her family are surrounded by poisoned air, food and water. Another major source of contamination is the infant vaccines that still contain Thimerosal, a neurologically-devastating derivative of Mercury used as a preservative in multi-dose vials of vaccines. More and more evidence suggests that Thimerosal is a major factor contributing to the current autism rate of 1/150 children.
This autism rate occurs only in the U.S., where the typical 2 y/o toddler has been inoculated with over thirty-five different vaccines, sometimes with as many as eight administered on the same day. The other common source of Mercury is dental Mercury amalgam. It is estimated that 90% of Americans have Mercury amalgam in their mouths. This carcinogenic, toxic heavy metal off-gasses continuously from the amalgam in the mouth and travels directly via nerve pathways to the brain and throughout the entire body.
What about cancer, is the cancer epidemic related to toxins? According to the Columbia University School of Public Health, 95 percent of cancer is caused by poor diet and environmental toxicity. And it’s not just cancer. The systems most affected by these toxic compounds include the immune, neurological, and endocrine systems. Toxicity in these systems can lead to many chronic health problems including immune dysfunction, autoimmunity, asthma, allergies, cognitive deficits, mood changes, neurological illnesses, and changes in libido, reproductive dysfunction, and glucose dysregulation.
Let’s examine symptoms related to a toxically impaired endocrine system. Hormones are messenger molecules that interact with receptors on the cell membranes to instruct the cell as to what to do. Common symptoms/diseases of deficient endocrine function include: Obesity, Diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia, Hyper or Hypo glandular function, Infertility, Fatigue, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Sexual dysfunction, Decreased libido, Impaired memory, Mood disorder, Sleep disturbance, Decreased cognitive function, Decreased cardiac function, Decrease muscle mass, Decreased bone mass, Osteopenia, Constipation, Cold hands/ cold feet, and more. In conventional allopathic medicine, a patient is told that the “symptom” she is experiencing (such as one listed previously) is the “problem”, and “Oh, have I got a pharmaceutical drug for you!” Pharmaceutical drugs do not correct the problem of poisoned endocrine pathways!
Of all the toxic exposures, mercury is without a doubt the most destructive. It is a deadly neurotoxin causing psychological, neurological, enzymatic, and immunological problems. Mercury contributes to or causes all known illnesses including autism, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, cancers, heart disease, endocrine problems, and neurological and behavioral disorders. The problem with toxins such as mercury and lead is that once they enter the body, they are difficult to remove. Toxic accumulation quickly overwhelms the body’s detoxification pathways and can ultimately result in severe symptoms or a chronic, debilitating illness.
It only makes sense that in order for our cells to function, heal and regenerate, we must reduce our toxic body burden by removing the toxins. We now offer a simple, effective way to remove heavy metals, chemicals bacteria and fungus from the body by using ACZ nano® and ACS 200®. These clinically tested oral chelation products are available at Abundant Health & Wellness.
