Exposure: We Live in a World of Toxins


What Are Toxins?

A toxin is any substance that creates irritating and/or harmful effects on the body, undermining our health, or stressing our biological and biochemical functions.


Toxins Are All Around Us…Environmental Toxins: Many of the toxins abundant today did not even exist 30 years ago!


What Contributes to Our Toxic Burden?

We are all exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a daily basis at work, in the home, through the air we breathe, our food and water supply, and through the use of pharmaceutical drugs.


Where Toxins Come From…External Toxins

Heavy Metals Amalgams Alcohol Damaged fats/foods Drugs (Rx & OTC) Smoke Agriculture treatments Environmental pollutants Petrochemicals Solvents, and industrial

chemicals Food additives


What Else Contributes to Our Toxic Burden?

Internal exposure: Metabolic wastes are created every day in our bodies from the production of energy and the metabolism of hormones from exercise, as well as the breakdown and clearing of toxins.


How Does Toxicity Occur?

Multiple small exposures to toxins

One large exposure Exposure to a potent toxin

such as mercury


How Does Toxicity Occur?

When the body is overloaded with toxins that it is unable to effectively break down and eliminate

When our vitality is low and metabolism is slow


Total Toxic Exposures

External/Environmental toxins + Internal/Metabolic waste

Total Toxic Load


Reality Check

In 33 years, the EPA has tested for safety only 200 and banned only five of the more than 80,000 chemicals in commerce.

The Fourth Annual Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals

The CDC 2009, report provides an ongoing assessment of the exposure of the U.S. population to environmental chemicals.

The chemicals were measured in blood, serum, and urine from random samples of 2500 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Fourth Annual Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals, 2009, at www.cdc.gov/exposurereport

http://www.cdc.gov/exposurereport


CDC Report on Industrial Chemicals

Findings in the Fourth Report indicate widespread exposure to some commonly used industrial chemicals: Fire retardants that accumulate in the environment and

in human fat tissue were found in the serum of all of the NHANES participants.

BPA (from plastic) was found in 90% of the urine samples of the participants.

PFOA—contained non-stick coatings in cookware—was found in most participants.

Lead in children is still a concern.


CDC Position on Chemical Exposure

“The presence of an environmental chemical in people’s blood or urine does not mean that it will cause effects or disease. The toxicity of a chemical is related to its dose or concentration, in addition to a person’s individual susceptibility. Small amounts may be of no consequence, whereas larger amounts may cause adverse health effects.”

Effects of Toxins


Toxins in Newborns In 2005, Environmental Working Group undertook a study to determine

the amount of toxins in “cord blood.” The investigators analyzed the chemicals in 10 samples donated to the American Red Cross and taken from hospitals around the U.S. They found 287 chemicals, including two chemicals that were banned in the 1970’s. Many are known carcinogens, brain irritants, and 208 are known to cause birth defects:

Mercury Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs): polytetrafluoroethylene,

food wrappings, fabric protectants Polybrominated dibenzodioxins: flame retardants, plastics Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): gasoline Organochlorine pesticides: DDT (banned in 1972) Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs): computers, television sets Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs): plastics

Breast Cancer Begins in Utero

Trichopolous, D., et.al. “Hypothesis: Does Breast Cancer Originate in Utero? Lancet, 1990, 335:939-940. E. Ekbom, Trichopolous, D., et.al. “Evidence of Prenatal Influences on Breast Cancer Risk,” Lancet, October 24, 1992, 340(8826):1015-8.

Dr. Dimitrios Trichopoulos, an epidemiologist from the Harvard School of Public Health, conducted an analysis of breast cancer cases over three generations over a 70-year span in Sweden. He concluded that, “exposure to excess estrogen or estrogenic chemicals in the womb may program fetal breast cells, permanently imprinting the developing cells with traits that they would not otherwise have had.” The researchers concluded that prenatal factors are important in breast carcinogenesis.


Study on Toxicity in Five Environmental Justice Leaders

Jacob, A., et.al. The Chemical Body Burden of Environmental Justice Leaders, May 2009, Environmental Working Group at http://ewg.rg/report/Pollution-in-5-Extraodinary-Women

Scientists recently studied five female environmentalists from across the United States. The study was sponsored by EWG in conjunction with Rachel’s Network, and the testing was targeted toward compounds that are heavily used in everyday consumer products. Labs in different parts of the world performed tests on blood samples taken from these women and found traces of at least 48 different chemicals– most notably fire retardants, synthetic fragrances, rocket fuel perchlorate and Bisphenol A, which is found in contaminated drinking water. Mercury, lead and polytetrafluoroethylene were also found. Since all of these women were trying to live a less toxic lifestyle, they were surprised to find such high levels of chemicals in their bodies.

Americans Carry the Burdenof a Toxic Sunscreen Chemical

Hanson, K., Gratton, E. Bardeen, CJ., 2006, Sunscreen enhancement of UV-induced reactive oxygen species in the skin, Free Radical Biology & Medicine, 41(8):1205-1212.

A new study by the CDC reveals that 97% of Americans (NHANES) are contaminated with a widely used sunscreen ingredient called oxybenzone that has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage. Oxybenzone is a “penetration enhancer” in that it helps other chemicals penetrate the skin.


Oxybenzone Penetrates the Skin

Sutton, R. CDC: Americans Carry Body Burden of Toxic Sunscreen Chemical, March 2008 at http://www.ewglorg/analysis/toxicsunscreen

The EWG research shows that 84% of 910 brands of sunscreen products contain oxybenzone.

Popular Insect Repellent is Neurotoxic

Corbel, V, et.al. Evidence for inhibition of cholinesterases in insect and mammalian nervous systems by the insect repellent DEET, BMC Biology, August, 5, 2009 at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/7/47/abstract

A research study has shown that “DEET” actually functions like the deadly nerve gas, Sarin, and in a similar manner to organophosates by attacking the nervous systems of both insects and mammals. The researchers found that “DEET” is not simply a behavior-modifying chemical but also inhibits the activity of a key central nervous system enzyme, acetylcholinesterase….” Nerve gases and organophosphates irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase, leading to salivation and eye watering at lower doses, and muscle spasms or death at higher doses. The lead scientist at Duke University states that insect repellents should carry warning labels.


Symptoms of Toxicity Headaches Joint pains Cough/Wheezing Sore throat Tight or stiff neck High blood fats Backaches Itchy nose Frequent colds Irritated eyes Environmental sensitivity Constipation Weight gain

Runny nose Nervousness Sleepiness/Insomnia Dizziness Mood changes Anxiety/Depression Fatigue Skin rashes Nausea Indigestion Bad breath Immune weakness Allergies

These symptoms may be related to other factors as well.


Problems Related to Toxicity Acne/Eczema Asthma Colitis Diverticulitis Hepatitis Heart disease High Blood Pressure Parasites, bacteria, yeast worms,

and fungus PMS Bronchitis Drug addiction Smoking Neurological issues

Kidney Disease Diabetes Migraines/Headaches Gallstones Gout Ulcers Varicose veins Fibroids Cancer Autoimmune conditions Brain fog Hemorrhoids Eye problems Stroke


Where Do We Store the Toxins? In the brain In fat tissue In the liver In the lymph system In the extracellular matrix

of the spleen


What is Detoxification?

Dislodging of toxins from their binding sites in the body Support of the elimination process through the liver, kidneys, skin,

lungs, and lymph system Clearing and filtering toxins and waste products Allowing our body to work on enhancing its basic functions


Why Detoxification? We cannot avoid getting toxins

into our system! Toxins accumulate and need to

be cleared. Increase energy and vitality. Strengthen organs of

detoxification.


How We Detoxify 80% is done by the liver

Breaks down toxins into water-soluble chemicals that can be excreted.

Proteins and other natural substances bind to the toxins. Toxins are eliminated through the liver.

Toxins are eliminated through urine, perspiration, and through the skin.

Drinking water every day Eating healthy foods: fiber, good fats, fruits, vegetables, protein


Healthy Digestion is Essential forKeeping a Low Toxic Load Strong Digestion: Is responsible for digestion,

absorption of nutrients, and elimination of wastes.

Ensures availability of key nutrients necessary to neutralize toxins in the liver.

Minimizes undigested foods that are causing inflammation, food sensitivities, and allergies.


Keys to Healthy Digestion

Chew your food! Enzymes Peristalsis

Stomach acid Enzymes Bile and bile salts Bowel flora Fiber


Keys to Healthy Digestion: Stomach Acid Basics Stomach acid or hydrochloric acid is produced in the parietal cells found in

the stomach lining. Initiates the breakdown of protein in the stomach, facilitates absorption of

minerals, destroys pathogens, stimulates peristalsis, and HCL secondarily stimulates the release of enzymes into the small intestines.

As we age, we produce less hydrochloric acid. It is common for people to experience heartburn when there is less HCL. Low stomach acid also leads to infections.


Symptoms of Low Stomach Acid Gas and bloating Feeling of fullness up to

two hours after meals Acid indigestion Stomachaches No taste for meat Asthma Foul breath Sores in mouth


Supporting Healthy HCL BalanceThe goal is to increase production of hydrochloric acid: Apple cider vinegar HCL-ProZyme™ (Z26) Herbal bitters Sip water at each meal,

but don’t drink a full glass of water.

Relax at meal times.

For Nutritional Purposes Only.


Healthy Digestion: Enzymes Digestive enzymes:

protease, lipase, amylase, and many others

Secreted by pancreas for release into the small intestines

Food is fully digested, broken down and absorbed


Symptoms of Low Enzyme Output

Gas

Bloating

Pain in the middle part of the abdomen


Healing Options for Increasing Enzymes Eat wholesome, fresh, organic foods. Eat fermented foods: yogurt (goat),

cabbage juice, sauerkraut, pickled ginger.

Do not overeat. Chew well before swallowing. Take digestive enzymes:

Super DigestZyme™ (Z22) GlutenFlam® (K52)



Healthy Digestion: Bile and Bile Salts The liver produces bile, which contains bile salts, which are then stored in

the gallbladder. Toxins, hormones, and waste products collect in the bile.

Cholesterol is also broken down by the bile salts or acids, which emulsify and break down fats, making them easier to digest. If it is not efficiently broken down, it can collect as stones in the gallbladder.


Increasing Bile Salts Drinking citrus juices

Lemon Lime

Herbal teas and herbal remedies: Dandelion root Jerusalem artichoke Milk thistle

Beets Fiber


A Healthy Bowel The last bit of digestion happens

when whatever is left of the food–mainly water, bacteria and fiber–enters the large intestine.

Constipation

Diarrhea

Bowel flora: probiotics


Consistent Elimination Increase fiber by eating fresh vegetables

and fruit.

Make sure that you are consuming adequate amounts of filtered water.

Exercise to assist with regularity.
