Detoxification: It’s not Just for the Partiers in Hollywood

American industry continues to pump wastes into the air, water and ground. Food producers continue to package our diet staples with artificial preservatives, refined sugars, and rancid vegetable oils. Our water is teeming with bacteria and waste. Our air is polluted. And our food is manufactured and fake.

Picture a car running on watered down gasoline and oil that never gets changed. It may limp down the street as it tries to get energy from the substandard fuel, but sooner or later that engine is going to grind to a halt as the wastes and sludge in the oil tear the components apart. That’s what the combination of toxins in the air, water, and our food do to us. And sooner or later, that sludge in our body will lead to issues such as cancer, heart disease, obesity, and/or mental clarity degeneration.


Let’s examine some of the sources of these toxins. You’d be surprised how pervasive they have become in our everyday life.

Chemical Clouds

The air we breathe is polluted by exhaust emissions from cars, buses, planes, trains, and industrial processes. Carbon monoxide, which has been closely linked to increased risks of heart disease, makes up approximately 50% of air pollutants. If the air we breathe is contaminated with carbon dioxide, smog, chemicals, and other pollutants, then those toxins are being inhaled through the nose and mouth, absorbed into the lungs, and pushed into the bloodstream, where the heart will pump it through every cell of our body.

Incinerators, industrial plants, and waste disposal sites put out enormous amounts of volatile chemicals. Benzene, vinyl chloride, carbon tetrachloride, formaldehyde are just a few of the typical substances permeating the air we breathe. Many of these are linked to higher risks of cancer.

Office Fumes

Surprisingly, newer office buildings being built are far more toxic than the ones constructed in years past. Volatile chemical substances including benzene, styrene, carbon tetrachloride, and formaldehyde, can be over 100 times as strong in newly constructed buildings as compared to outdoor levels.

Modern building materials emit gasses into the air over their lifetime. Paints release solvents. Carpets and pressed wood furniture release formaldehyde. Other fumes can originate from common fabrics, curtains, and glue used in industrial outfitting.

Pesticides

You would be amazed at the number of common products that contain anywhere from trace to substantial amounts of pesticides, such as diazinon. The chemicals can be found in shampoos, soaps, mattresses, disposable diapers, and carpets. We are being exposed to unhealthy levels of these organic toxins everyday. They are easily absorbed through the skin, inhaled, or swallowed.

Our body is designed to combat a reasonable inflow of these type of poisons, but at today’s levels, there’s no way the body can keep up, so they accumulate inside us over time. This accumulated residue can lead to depression, memory loss, Parkinson’s Disease, mental psychosis, and hormone-related cancers such as the strains that attack the breast and prostate.

Dietary Poisons

Pesticides are still used in the majority of our crop growing soils. Thus these harmful chemicals become a part of the food supply. Fruits, vegetables, and meats tainted with pesticides will cause these chemicals to become lodged in our fatty tissues, including the breasts, prostate gland, and the brain.

In addition, the increased use of artificial additives to preserve our food, refined sugars to flavor our food, and rancid vegetable oils to package our food, has led to a new class of poisons that our bodies were never designed to handle.

Toxic Love Handles

Anyone who is overweight, even a little has an excess of stored body fat. When all the poisons we ingest are not able to be eliminated, they wind up lodged in the fatty tissues of the body. Those love handles become a three car garage for the accumulated toxins. And since your brain is roughly 60% fat, there’s another place for the poisons to set up house.

Fortunately there are ways to help your body deal with these accumulated toxins. There are detoxification programs and products that can provide the guidance and resources needed to facilitate a cleansing of the body. If you want to keep your engine running, look into detoxification as a routine part of your health and wellness regimen.
