Our industrialized world has given us much in product and technology, but this gain did not come without a considerable cost. Having left us exposed to potentially harmful chemicals, we have become a toxic and chronically ill world for both the planet and those that share it. The Environmental Protection Agency registers over 80,000 chemicals.  Three thousand eight hundred are “high-use” chemicals. Long-term toxic effects in humans are unknown.

In 2005, a study by the Environmental Working Group performed a Neonatal Toxicity Study randomly studying the umbilical cord blood from 10 babies. The results were astonishing. Two hundred and eighty-seven chemicals were found. Each baby averaged approximately 200 known toxins. These chemicals included pesticides, consumer product ingredients, wastes from coal burning, gasoline and garbage. One hundred eighty of these chemicals are known to cause cancer in humans or animals, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system and 208 congenital disabilities or abnormal development in animal tests.

Although our bodies can eliminate harmful toxins produced by both “endogenous” (within) and “exogenous” (outside) when the toxic load accumulates at a higher rate than the body can eliminate, TOXIC SYMPTOMS result.
