PROTECTIVE STEPS FOR TOXIC WORLD

In a survey I sent out a couple of months ago, many of you were interested in answers to the following questions;

How do I achieve optimal health? 

What supplements are vital for maintenance? 

How do I protect myself from toxins in the environment?

The following article is vital in addressing all of the above concerns.

We are constantly exposed to toxic chemicals in our daily lives.

Alternative health care focuses on liver detoxification in assessing whether your health will be impacted by this exposure. 

This is definitely important since the only way we have to eliminate the toxic substances we are exposed to is to rely on the liver to neutralize them and then get them ready to be eliminated through the digestive system, kidneys, and skin. 
We are all born with genetic defects that can impact our individual ability to eliminate toxins, often alternative physicians will order unnecessary expensive genetic screening tests that do not alter the course of treatment, lifestyle, diet, and drug consumption (prescription, recreational, or over the counter) are all additional factors that will contribute to the expression of these genetic defects.

The current model in alternative health care is to improve liver detoxification pathways. This is an important focus and must be supported and addressed, unfortunately it is not the only factor that needs to be considered since there are substances that the liver is not capable of or able to neutralize, these substances cause our immune system to create inflammatory chemicals that in turn deplete liver detoxification pathways. 

So one must also employ strategies that will neutralize these chemicals and reduce the production of the inflammatory substances, ingestion of Tumeric and Resveratrol in concentrated dosages is necessary in order to protect your body from the damages of these exposures. I recommend two new products from Apex Energetics, Resvero and Turmero both are delicious tasting liquids.

The literature is finding that exposure to the multitude of environmental toxins will most certainly result in an increased risk of developing a chronic degenerative disease. 

Resveratrol and curcumin(tumeric compound), will provide the protection needed to protect your cells from the toxic exposure that leads to a stressed and depleted cellular function and ultimate destruction.

In addition, the brain’s ability to produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter, is vital in the liver’s ability to produce an indispensable detoxifying enzyme that is also produced in the brain, as well as being responsible for the brain’s control of liver function and its blood flow.

If a person is not benefitting from a liver detoxification support program, they may need to take dopamine precursor nutrients like those found in Dopatone, to improve dopamine production in the brain and subsequently improve liver function. 

Symptoms of Low Dopamine levels include: 

  • Depressed Thoughts
  • Unable to self-motivate
  • Easily angered by trivial issues.
  • Slowness of movements
  • Slowness of thoughts
  • Unable to start or finish tasks

Another factor that influences poor liver detoxification is the loss of function to the Vagus nerve, which controls the movement of the intestinal tract, enzyme production, and liver detoxification. 

Gargling for as long as possible rehabilitates the Vagus nerve.

Symptoms of loss of Vagal Nerve Function

  • Constipation
  • Poor Digestion
  • Floating stool or food in stool
  • Poor Detoxification


In considering strategies to address the effects of toxic exposure there are two categories of symptoms:

Inefficient Liver Detoxification      Loss of Chemical Tolerance

 * Acne and unhealthy skin             * Intolerance to Smells

 * Bloating                                         * Intolerance to Jewelry

 * Weight Gain                                  * Intolerance to shampoo, lotions, 
                                                             detergents, etc.

 * Poor Bowel function                    * Multiple food sensitivities 

 * Swelling                                         * Constant skin outbreaks

Some compounds cannot be detoxified by the liver, resulting in increased levels that lead to oxidative stress and the depletion of Glutathione. 

Glutathione is vital for liver and cellular detoxification and protection from oxidative stress. Over time this causes a loss of chemical tolerance. 

Once a person has lost chemical tolerance one must implement support for:

1.Liver Detoxification
2.Immune system regulation
3.Leaky Gut Management
4.Neutralizing inflammatory immune chemicals
5.Glutathione Recycling support

​This may include a limited diet as well as the ingestion of the above mentioned supplementation. Remember ,it is not the amount or length of exposure that will dictate when you will be affected by toxins but rather how well your body can handle the exposure without losing its immune/ chemical tolerance.
