•  No irradia1on •  No industrial solvents •  No chemical food addi1ves

Why organic?

•  Linked to: –  Disrup1on of endocrine system –  Cancer –  Immune system suppression – Male infer1lity and reduced reproduc1ve func1on – Miscarriages –  Parkinson’s disease

Why organic?

•  BeOer for the earth

•  Organic versus “natural”? •  USDA label or small farms?

17 Source: www.ewg.org

Sourcing Organic Food

•  Local farmers’ markets (www.localharvest.org) •  Local co-‐ops (www.localharvest.org ) •  CSA = Community-‐Supported Agriculture, aka “veggie box from farmer”

18

GMOs…

•  Linked to autoimmune disorders •  Higher in lec1ns than non-‐GMO crops

19

Source of toxicity: WATER

The problem with water…

•  Fluoride •  Chlorine •  Bromine

•  PCBs •  Mercury and heavy metals

•  Drugs

21

About Fluoride

•  Fluoride is a halogens; same as chlorine, iodine and bromine.

•  Historically used for people with hyperthyroidism to slow the thyroid down!

•  Fluoride blocks thyroid receptors from binding with iodine to produce T4. •  Fluoride interferes with the T4 to T3 conversion.

•  The United States is one of 7 countries in the world that s1ll uses fluoride in the water. The EU does not allow it.

•  Will fluoride removal cause tooth decay? NO.

•  Sources of fluoride:

–  Tap water. –  Toothpaste. Pick fluoride-‐free tooth paste. –  Fluoride pes1cides; are most common. Buy organic. –  Sou drinks and soda. –  Some medica1ons; like an1depressants including Prozac, Zolou and Aropax.

•  Good ar1cle: hOp://ar1cles.mercola.com/sites/ar1cles/archive/2011/08/13/fluoride-‐and-‐thyroid-‐dysfunc1on.aspx

22

Water filter op1ons •  Anything that removed fluoride, chlorine, heavy metals.

1. Clean Air Pure Water •  hOp://www.cleanairpurewater.com/water_equipment.html (Magdalena is

using the Kitchen Defender) •  Whole house, shower and kitchen solu1ons •  Good pricing e.g. Kitchen Defender costs $320 •  Reduces fluoride, does not remove it completely •  Reverse Osmosis systems (for water coming from highly polluted river

water)

2. CustomPure (SeaOle-‐based company) •  hOp://www.custompure.com/MB-‐Series-‐W13C4.aspx ($580) •  hOp://www.custompure.com/Counter-‐Top-‐MB612-‐P2.aspx ($380)

Source of toxicity: CHEMICALS

Worse than ea1ng them?

“Pu.ng chemicals on your skin or scalp, such as ge.ng a hair dye, may actually be worse than ea=ng them. When you eat something, the enzymes in your saliva and stomach help to break it down and flush it out of your body. However, when you put these chemicals on your skin, they are absorbed straight into your bloodstream without filtering of any kind, going directly to your delicate organs.” -‐ Dr Mercola

26

Parabens

•  Parabens are ar1ficial preserva1ves •  Mimic estrogen in the body (hormone/thyroid alarm bells!)

•  Present in a wide variety of cosme1cs and body care products, including moisturizers, face and skin cleansers, shampoos, condi1oners, sunscreens, deodorants and an1perspirants, shaving gels, toothpastes, makeup, and many others.

•  They are also used as preserva1ves in food and beverages, and in some medica1ons.

27

Phthalates •  They make anything smell nice, make absorp1on by the skin faster and

souen plas1cs •  Not declared on product labels! •  75% of 72 name-‐brand products contained phthalates, though none of

them listed them as ingredients •  Found in:

–  personal care products –  perfume –  anything with fragrance –  vinyl toys/shower curtains –  house dust –  pharmaceu1cal & supplement pill coa1ngs

•  Connected to: behavioral disorders (ADHD), birth defects, reproduc1ve toxicity, liver toxicity, breast cancer and obesity

•  Best to look for “organic essence oil” used in products, not the word “fragrance”

28

Triclosan

•  Triclosan is an ar1ficial an1microbial chemical used to kill bacteria on the skin and other surfaces.

•  Found in: –  an1bacterial soaps, hand sani1zers –  toothpaste –  household cleaners –  an1bacterial cuWng boards, treated sponges

•  Linked to: thyroid dysfunc1on, asthma, cancer (chloroform produc1on), liver toxicity.

•  Kills our gut bacterial flora and makes up resistant to an1bio1cs

•  Vague claims such as "protec1on against mold," "odor-‐figh1ng" or "keeps food fresher, longer," may also indicate the presence of triclosan

•  Good read: hOp://www.medicaldaily.com/fda-‐reviews-‐an1bacterial-‐hand-‐soap-‐why-‐triclosan-‐bad-‐you-‐and-‐planet-‐245474 29

Bisphenol-‐A or BPAs

•  BPAs = xenoestrogens •  Found in: some plas1cs, thermal paper receipts

•  Connected to: –  Reproduc1ve Toxicity – Obesity/Weight Gain/Insulin Resistance –  Sexual Dysfunc1on (men)

changes –  Possible muta1ons and cancer

31

Perflurooctanoid Acid (PFOA)

•  Linked to: –  thyroid disorders –  hyperac1vity –  reproduc1ve toxicity –  hormone disrup1on

•  Found in: –  non-‐s1ck cookware –  Stainguard sprays –  carpet & upholstery treatments/Spot cleaners –  microwave popcorn bags –  food package linings

anger organ smile into your liver

Role of the Liver

•  Magnesium -‐ millet and cashews are great sources

•  Add beets and beet greens

•  Milk thistle powder – smoothie*

•  Seaweed: kombu and nori unless you have a sensi1vity to iodine or high TPOab.

53

* Can be estrogenic for some. If you develop PMS or irregular period, stop or limit milk thistle.

Liver Protocol -‐ Supplements

•  Add vitamin B complex (this means all the vitamins Bs) -‐ this is big in opening up the liver detoxifica1on pathways. I recommend using Max-‐B-‐ND from Premier Labs (sold online).

54

Liver Protocol – Lifestyle

•  Castor oil pack – apply castor oil on your liver area and cover for 30min – 1 hour with a hot water boOle and a towel underneath it so you don’t get burned.

59

Heavy Metals Detox – Supplements

60

Heavy Metals – Chela1on

•  Tes1ng: serum (blood) and urine (DMSA) •  Chela1on agents are compounds that bind into toxins and pull them out of the body.

•  Available forms: – DMSA (used by func1onal doctors) – pill – DMPS – IV

•  Risks associated with both •  Needs to be done by a qualified doctor

61

Detox is also…

•  Elimina1on Diet •  Paleo for Autoimmunity (AIP)

… they are detoxing, as well.

63

Master Cleanse?

•  Aka “lemonade diet/detox” •  It lacks amino acids that bind fat-‐soluble toxins to neutralize them -‐ therefore I do not recommend it
