4 STEPS TO SUPERIOR HEALTH

THE PROBLEM

Toxicity and Nutritional Deficiency

•  Are there factors in our environment that are causing the dramatic rise in diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, inflammatory, autoimmune and degenerative diseases?

•  Are there things missing from our diet or things in our diet that are causing such a rapid rise in the rate of obesity which also contributes to many of the diseases listed above?

•  Are these two questions linked in any way?

•  If so is there anything we can do about it?

•  What about Governmental agencies - are they keeping us safe or are they protecting the companies responsible?

"Cells are nutritionally significant because they convert the nutrients we ingest into the energy we need to live. If our cells are in good condition, they will be able to better utilize nutrients, and our organs and tissues will function properly as a result. The health of the cells depends on two factors.

The first is the extracellular fluid in which they exist, also know as the biological terrain. As Guylen & Hall’s Textbook of Medical Physiology states, “Cells are capable of living, growing and performing their special functions as long as the proper concentrations of oxygen, glucose, different ions, amino acids, fatty substances, and other constituents [nutrients] are available in this environment.” The second factor is the cells’ ability to eliminate a variety of toxins from everyday living.

Detoxification is influenced by many factors, including the amount of water we drink, the pH balance of the body and the balance of bodily fluids, especially blood and lymph. Without efficient detoxification, the cells will not be able to fully absorb nutrients."[1]

Additionally, one of the most critical survival functions in a complex chemical environment is the ability of cells and organisms to detoxify and eliminate xenobiotic (from Greek xenos, “stranger,” and bios, “life”) chemicals. The best studied detoxification machinery is the xenobiotic metabolizing system, which includes receptors, metabolizing enzymes, and transporters, and which tends to prevent absorption, increase water solubility, or decrease reactivity of xenobiotic chemicals, thus leading to their detoxification and elimination from the body (Barouki 2010).

However, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are an important class of xenobiotic chemicals that are resistant to metabolism by the body. POPs are environmentally and biologically persistent, which leads to their bio-accumulation and bio-magnification up the food chain. Fatty foods of animal origin (e.g., meat, fish, dairy) are important vectors of several classes of POPs, including dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (Bergkvist et al. 2008).[2]

In layman's terms:

•  Reduce exposure to these persistent organic chemicals

•  Eat a reduced animal (e.g. meat, fish, dairy) fat diet

•  Remove these ever present toxic chemicals from your body by routinely cleansing at the cellular level

The dramatic rise in obesity as well as the alarming increase in the incidence of cancer, cardiovascular, and other diseases has prompted a tremendous amount of investigation into why our bodies and immune systems are not functioning as designed. This overview will cover some of the latest findings about toxins in our environment as well as nutritional depletion in our foods and the profound effect these two factors have on our bodies and health. According to "National Geographic”, man contributes 700,000 tons of pollutants into the air and water every day. Is there a link between toxins in our environment, disease and obesity? Is it possible to cleanse these toxins from our bodies? Research at UCLA has shown that fresh fruits and vegetables have only 2.3% of the nutritional value they had fifty years ago. Fish, poultry and meat have been found to contain toxins, antibiotics and steroids. If we can’t gain the nutrients we need from food alone, how is this affecting us and what can we do about it? This book will change the way you think about the air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat. So if you’ve asked yourself, “Why am I so tired?”, “Why do I crave sweets?”, “Why do I feel depressed?”, “Why can’t I lose weight?”, or “Why are our children’s life expectancies less than ours?”, you’ll find some very interesting answers.
