| Detoxifying your body. A look at the many causes that are linked to illness and disease states. |
It is very important to identify sources of toxic disturbance whether physical
toxins, inherited toxic information, external energetic field disturbances,
emotional and mental toxins and spiritual imbalances. The human system has
become more fragile than is actually perceived. Some people are more
susceptible than others. The reaction’s an individual may have to any given
substance depends on multiple factors. These being the amount of exposure,
frequency of exposure, state of their elimination and filtering organs, and how
tolerant they are to any given substance to begin with. One’s tolerance and
susceptibility is then influenced by their overall current health, their emotional
state, and of course inherited or constitutional tendencies or genetic
predispositions. There are two primary factors in determining the toxicity of a
given substance in the body. First we address the location and the potency of the
toxin(s). Important attributes her are the quantity entering the body, where it
migrates within the body, and of great concern is its’ chemical and energetic
attributes. Secondly, we look at the susceptibility of the person’s systems when
exposed. How compromised is their health at the moment of exposure. When one
is physically or emotionally stressed, the ability to compensate and or eliminate
toxic substances can decrease drastically, resulting in accumulation of toxins in
the cells, tissues, and organs. As toxicity increases, one’s absorption and
assimilation of nutrients is affected not to mention one’s entire immune system
may become severely compromised, leading to many symptoms and diseases.
When the body is stressed due to infection, emotional and mental challenges,
fatigue, apathy, or recurrent exposure to quantities of toxins, or if the toxin is
particularly noxious, these defenses become overloaded. They may be
preoccupied in eliminating a microorganism, or the quantity of toxins may simply
overwhelm the capacity of the body to detoxify. When this occurs it is a given
that toxic substances tend to accumulate in and around the cells, causing
problems both directly poisoning the cells and indirectly by accumulating in the
extracellular fluid that surround the cells. This causes a slow down sometimes at
significant levels with the uptake and release of cellular metabolites which then
interfere with intracellular communication. When healthy the body has a
remarkable capacity to neutralize and excrete toxins. The body has many
mechanisms that de-activate, chemically alter and eliminate foreign substances.
Every living creature and every non-living substance has an energetic signature.
Physics regards this characteristic frequency with a specific resonance. So when
we view constituents that are foreign to our body we see that an interference with
normal resonance has occurred within the organism as it is subjected to a toxin.
Sources of Toxicity that affect the Human Matrix
The following list has been used by many practitioners to help guide in identifying
causes of energetic and biochemical disturbances.
Physical Toxins:
• Man made pollutants and by products ( chemicals, preservatives, pesticides)
• Natural environmental pollutants (Pollens, radon, heavy metals)
• Free Radical Waste (Endogenous and Exogenous)
• Residuals from Pharmaceutical/Medicinal Drugs (synthetic compounds)
• Digestive Waste (leaky gut, dysbiosis)
• Metabolic Waste ( uric acid, homocysteine)
• Biological Organisms ( Bacteria, Parasites, Viruses, Fungi)
Inherited Toxins:
• Inherited toxins during fetal development
• Genetic Disorders and Predispositions(Miasms)
External Energetic/Magnetic Field Disturbances:
• Radiation ( X-Rays, UV radiation, nuclear radiation)
• Geopathic ( Earths magnetic fields, lay lines, grids)
• Electromagnetic ( Electronics, Computers, TV’s, high voltage cables,cell phones)
Mental and Emotional Toxins:
• Emotional and physical traumas
• Learned negative patterns and behaviors
• Disease forming belief systems
• Disturbed subconscious/fractured emotions
Spiritual:
• Disconnection from source
• Disconnection from self
We live in a day and age that toxins are everywhere and pretty much unavoidable. Recent
studies on cord blood have proven beyond a doubt the levels of toxins that babies are being
born with today. Appalling are the figures, concerned, everyone should be!
Born Polluted July 2005
(For more information, read the full report at www.ewg.org)
A July 2005 study by the Environmental Working Group tested newborns for the largest number
of chemicals ever. The analysis found an average of 200 industrial chemicals, pollutants, and
pesticides already present at the moment of birth– in the umbilical cord blood. No hunger is
more intense than the hunger for oxygen. For babies before birth, their entire oxygen supply
comes not from their fluid-filled lungs, but through a life-and-death channel to their mothers
called the umbilical cord. It starts smaller than a human hair, but by the time of birth, the
umbilical cord is a sturdy lifeline is as big around as an adult finger and 20 to 24 inches long.
This is the same valuable blood that was analyzed in this study, and found to contain a startling
array of industrial contaminants. It is the blood supply that bathed and nourished every cell of
the baby while her organs and systems formed. It satisfied her hunger. The cord blood is an
echo of the polluted lake within. It is tangible evidence that, after the cord is cut, the industrial
chemicals that the mother was exposed to are now coursing through her baby's veins as the little
one first greets the world.
Body Burden January 2003.
This study features the largest number of chemicals ever tested for in the same group of people
– 210 chemicals were tested. The results were staggering – each participant tested positive for
an average of 53 known human carcinogens, 55 chemicals known to cause birth defects or
developmental delays, and a host of other chemicals. Each participant tested positive for
chemicals that damage the brain or nervous system, that weaken the immune system, and
chemicals that cause reproductive abnormalities. Perhaps most disturbing: these 210 chemicals
tested represent only a small fraction of people’s exposure. More than 500 chemicals are used in
the U.S. as active ingredients in pesticides alone. More than 3,200 chemicals are regularly added
to foods. More than 2000 new chemicals are registered for use in the U.S. each year – most with
no safety testing.
Combinations of chemicals can be far more damaging than individual exposures. We do know
that just as drug-drug interactions can cause serious side effects, chemical-chemical interactions
can multiply the risks. For example:
This Body Burden Report shows PCBs and dioxin in the same people. These often appear
together – even in breast milk. Researchers looked at liver damage caused by the two. By
themselves, the PCBs caused no liver damage. Dioxin did cause some. But mixed together, the
two chemicals produced 400 times the damage of the dioxin alone. (Van Birgelen, A.P.J.M., et
al. Environmental Health Perspectives (1996) 104:550-557.)
Some pesticides in common use can act like the female sex hormone estrogen. Researchers at
Tufts University School of Medicine measured the effects of 10 such pesticides. Taken one at a
time, they had no measurable effect on human tissue. But when different combinations were
tested, these same low levels of pesticides now showed a strong estrogen effect. (Soto, A. et al.
Environmental Health Perspectives (1994) 102: 380-383.)
Two commonly used pesticides, aldicarb and atrazine, are found in our food and our drinking
water – and in our bodies. When tested individually at levels found in the groundwater in the U.
S., they showed no adverse effects. But when combined – the way they are in the water – the
combination produced immune system impairment. (Porter, W.P., et al. Toxicology and
Industrial Health (1999) 15: 133-150.)
The Body Burden study has been likened to a smoke detector or a carbon monoxide alarm –
alerting us to a silent but serious danger, hopefully in time to wake us from our sleep. This
study leaves no doubt about the pervasive pollution of our bodies with large numbers of toxic
chemicals in combination, most of which didn’t even exist when my parents were born.
