Toxification is Poisoning Your Body

Hi,

Toxification is the next "ation" we will be talking about.  A toxic substance (toxin) is simply a poison.  Toxification is the process of turning a substance into a more harmful one or into a toxin.

An example would be turning a nitrite into a carcenogenic nitrosamine. 

The real problem is that almost everything can be a toxin if taken in the incorrect amount.

What does that mean?  Simply that something that is vital to your life, like oxygen or water, can become a toxin if you have too much in your body.  Too much oxygen in your blood can cause death.  Too much water in your body can lead to edema and also to death. 

Fortunately, it is very rare for those things to happen.  But, as you will see, there are many other things to worry about. 

Like the air we breathe.  The air goes through the lungs which acts as a filter.  If you have ever seen a picture of a diseased lung - usually from cigarette smoke - it is apparent that the lungs have done their job, but just got overwhelmed.  They are usually shriveled and black.

Other contaminents in the air include:  carbon monoxide, industrial solvents, sulfur dioxide, propane, butane, carbon disulfide, asbestos and the list goes on and on. 

The water isn't much better.  We get our water from surface runoff or ground water.  Each has its own set of problems. 

Surface runoff can be contaminated with pesticides and fertilizers, storm drain runoff, acid rain, leaking sewage and industrial wastes.  Ground water can be contamined with all of the above plus: leaking septic systems, old leaking gasoline storage tanks and discarded household cleaners. 

And let's not forget food contamination.  You are eating things like: pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, growth hormones, fertilizers, antibiotics, chlorine, molds, fungi, parasites and heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, nickel, iron, aluminum. 

Wow, is it any wonder that you don't feel great every day.  Now eating, breathing and drinking are things you have to do.  And there are some things you can do to make these things more helpful. 

What, did you think I was just going to leave you in this depressed state?

Okay, here are some guidelines to eliminating a lot of these toxins. 

Use air filters when indoors.  Change the filters frequently.  A room negative ionizer for your work space or cubicle could help.  Don't jog along high traffic areas. 

Drink only natural spring water.  Use water filters on your tap water, including your shower.

Eat organic as much as possible.

Exercise.   Exercise helps the lymph and circulatory system cleanse the body.

Get a body detox at least once a year. 

See that wasn't so bad was it?

We still have a couple of "ations" to go, so stay tuned.

Thanks,
