Why detox?

Total Toxic Burden

Over the past few decades our environment has become increasingly more toxic.  We are exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals in our homes, from the air, water, and food supplies.  In addition, we ingest an ever growing list of toxins everyday including artificial sweeteners, MSG, caffeine,over-the-counter medications, alcohol, nicotine and oxidized fats from processed foods.

The accumulation of these toxins can create a total toxic burden!  Our bodies are able to counteract and filter out a certain amount of toxins; however, when we are constantly bombarded by pollutants in our environment, we can become overloaded.  When excess toxins accumulate in the body, excessive oxidative stress occurs and this can lead to disease.  Excessive toxins can actually damage our DNA leading to cancer, birth defects, and other chronic ailments.  Common symptoms of toxicity include headaches, weight gain, fatigue, joint pains, insomnia, mood swings, low immunity, and chronic digestive issues such as bloating and constipation.

The following diseases are associated with toxic overload:

cardiovascular disease, hypertension,cancer, obesity,chronic fatigue, allergies, skin problems, asthma, mental illness, kidney disease, and gastritis.
