Guide to Environmental Toxins

Guide to Environmental Toxins

Not all toxins are made equally and your body is impressively good at eliminating toxins, but that does not mean it it doesn’t need any help!

The aim isn't to avoid exposure all together as that is impossible, instead the aim is to include aspects into your daily routine that address and manage exposure levels. You do not need to be doing everything all of the time, but if you live inner city, you may want to prioritise the heavy metals protocol, and if you find mold in your house, then it would be effective to prioritise that protocol

 

Parasites

Threat

While parasites have become a buzzword in recent years, most people are not dealing with parasitic infections. Parasites often get confused with more dangerous pathogen or viral infections. If looking to deworm, that is slightly different, most in most cases, intestinal worms are symbiotic and not the cause of your intestinal issues

Remedy

If you have an actual parasitic infection like Malaria or a brain eating parasite, seek emergency help and find a specialist as soon as you can. You will require life saving antiparasitic medication or to be placed into a coma so your body can fight it. To deworm you can use goldenseal or olive leaf. For more mild antiparasitics you can use garlic and pumpkin seeds.

 

 

Microplastics

Threat

Microplastics are definitely on the rise and likely to get worse as oceans get more polluted. Thankfully are bodies are effective in removing plastic and it takes quite a lot of plastic build up before it causes noticeable effects.

Remedy

You can effectively remove plastics from the brain, lungs, endocrine system and guts using a combination of olive leaf, celery juice, fenugreek, lemonbalm and mullein leaf.

 

Second Hand Smoke

Threat

Second Hand Smoke is so dangerous because for the most part it is completely out of your control and lingers for so long. Simply sitting in the house of a smoker will cause you damage as the smoke carcinogens stick to the walls. If you are a smoker, I would highly encourage not smoking inside your house for the protection of your visitors.

Remedy

Smoking is probably the worst thing you can do for your health, and the remedy would require a combination of heavy metals, radiation and microplastics, but specifically for the lungs, black seed oil, seamoss and mullein leaf are great options.

 

Toxic Heavy Metals

Threat

Heavy metals like mercury, aluminium, cadmium and arsenic are so dangerous because they are fuel for viral and bacterial pathogens throughout the body. They are also particularly dangerous for the brain by damaging brain tissue. They are also entirely unavoidable.

Remedy

I would recommend a smoothie of barleygrass juice powder, altantic dulse, seamoss, shilajit, spirulina and fresh coriander daily.

 

Mold Spores

Threat

Mold is adbundant but less dangerous because your immune system is effective in knocking it down. The main issue is that it distracts your immune system allowing more problematic pathogens to thrive and wreak havoc.

Remedy

Celery juice, coriander, apples, potatoes all contain trace minerals to combat mold and black seed oil is also very beneficial to support the immune system in fighting it.

 

Stress

Threat

The reason they say stress is the biggest killer is because it burdens your liver, overloads your brain and singes your nervous system. It also throws your hormones out of whack. Again stress is unavoidable but it can be managed.

Remedy

Box breathing is a fantastic free technique you can use to manage your stress and switch into your parasympathetic nervous system. You can also use Brahmi, Lions Mane and Ashwagandha to prevent vagus nerve inflammation and combat stress.

 

Pathogens

Threat

Pathogens are the most dangerous threat because they are behind all chronic disease. Even if you are not yet presenting symptoms and would strongly recommend include antivirals in your tool kit as you are constantly exposed to new threats and a strong immune system will always fight for you.

Remedy

Black seed oil is a great option for ongoing support. So is moringa seeds and seamoss as they are a great source of minerals as well. If you are dealing with a chronic issue you can add in, cats claw, lemonbalm, oregano oil and licorice root for more comprehensive antiviral support.
