WHY WE GET SICK

"We’re the only mammal on this planet that has a quantum computer in our head that allows us to break the laws of nature."Dr. Jack Kruse

We are living in a false reality mostly crafted by false science. Consider this scenario. You are on a plane, and someone nearby is sneezing or coughing. A few days later, you get sick and you blame it on that person on the plane, because the authorities have told you that's how it works. Their narrative is that someone breathes out little "flying unicorns," and when you breathe them in, they make you sick. Even if there is no evidence for this narrative, it all sounds very "science-y"!

What really happened is this. First, you didn't sleep well the night before you got on the plane, so your immune system took a little hit. Next, you got on a plane doused with disinfectantsbiocidal agents. The biocidal agents didn't kill you (because this is dose-related), but they got into your cells as a toxin. In addition, the toxin recirculated in the air during the flight. When you arrived a your destination, perhaps to see family or friends, you went out, ate and drank too much and stayed up too late, again depriving yourself of a good night's sleep. To make matters worse, you went out and did it again the next night. In short, you got sick because you weakened your immune system and toxified yourself.

The false science authorities would have you playing "disease whack-a-mole" for the rest of your life, so that every time they come out with a new disease, they can give you a new vaccine or pharmaceutical poison. But, disease is really about toxins, and a lot of the things we think of as "disease" are probably the result of poisoning. If too many toxins accumulate in the body and your detoxification system isn't keeping up, you get sick. Think of it like a teeter-totter. The goal is to tip the balance the other way, where the detoxification system is on "high burn, and you don't have as many toxins. And that's where chlorine dioxide can play a role.

One of the most pressing concerns confronting our planet today is the adverse influence of environmental factors on the human immune system. This issue must not be disregarded by any healthcare provider.

Every single day, your body is under attack. The air you breathe, the food you eat, and even the water you drink are filled with toxins. Heavy metals and parasites silently hijack your immune system, which keeps you trapped in a cycle of sickness. And the worst part? You never even see it happening. These poisons invade your body completely undetected, which is draining your energy, wrecking your digestion, and destroying your health from the inside out. Your body isn’t attacking itself by accident, it’s fighting back against an invisible war. Until you remove the root cause, your symptoms will never go away.

Many of us carry around up to 25 pounds of "concreted" waste in our intestines. This waste is abundantly populated with parasites, worms, molds, etc., which then add their waste to the body's daily detoxification workload. The gunk lining the walls of our intestines and the living freebooters that make it their home also make it more difficult to retain and absorb beneficial nutrients and minerals from our food, creating a "double whammy" effect on our health.

Clearing all these foreign chemicals and extra organisms and their waste out of our systems, while boosting the unique natural frequency characteristics of our own DNA—like tuning in a favorite radio station—are both necessary elements. If you’ve been brushing off any of these symptoms, it’s time to stop and listen—your body may be sounding the alarm:

  • Constant fatigue, no matter how much you sleep

  • Mysterious aches and pains

  • Weight gain that just won’t budge

  • Persistent anxiety or mood swings

  • Colds that seem to never fully go away

  • Bloating, indigestion, or gut issues

  • Skin flare-ups, rashes, or breakouts

  • High cholesterol or blood pressure

  • Hormone imbalances

  • Brain fog or poor concentration


These aren’t just “getting older” or “normal stress”—they’re red flags. And ignoring them can come at a cost.

What most doctors don’t mention? Many of these issues are linked to toxic overload - chemicals, mold, heavy metals, and pollutants building up in your body over time.

What Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know is that they aren't in the business of healing, because healing simply isn’t profitable for them. Big Pharma makes $1.48 TRILLION a year selling drugs that manage symptoms… not curing diseases. They don’t want you to detox your body. They don’t want you to support your immune system. And they certainly don’t want you to use the natural healing protocols that have existed for thousands of years.

Instead, they censor the truth. They bury real solutions. And they mock natural medicine while pushing dangerous drugs that keep you dependent on them! But here’s the good news, your body was created to HEAL!

Airborne toxins and pesticides, artificial lighting, as well as indoor and outdoor electromagnetic radiation and heavy metal accumulation in the body, are progressively weakening our immune responses. The resultant strain on our systems is causing an escalation in cases of faulty immune reactions. The upward trend in the prevalence of allergic reactions provides a tangible illustration of this phenomenon.

Think of illness not as God's will, but as our deviation from God's will. Disease is an adaptation, triggered by changes in the terrain.

All disease is ultimately related to a lack of love, or to love that is only conditional, for the exhaustion and depression of the immune system thus created, leads to physical vulnerability. All healing is related to the ability to give and accept unconditional love. Unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant of the immune system.

If you tell patients to raise their blood levels of immune globulins or killer T-cells, no one would know how. But if you can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen automatically. The truth is: love heals. The most important law of the universe is LOVE. Love of self and love of others.

We cannot wait to be loved before we love. We just need to love! Whatever the problem, love is the answer. If we truly love, that love casts out all fears. Illness is the result of imbalance. imbalance is a result of forgetting who you are. Forgetting who you are creates thoughts and actions that lead to an unhealthy life-style and eventually to illness.

The illness itself is a signal that you are imbalanced because you have forgotten who you are. Illness can thus be understood as a lesson you have given yourself to help you remember who you are. Disease requires a spiritual reexamination of our lives, particularly if the disease is severe. In order to understand and resolve any disease, self-examination is the first step and fundamental basis in accomplishing this.

There are only seven reasons why we develop disease. And among these seven, exposure to parasites and toxins is the primary cause. Parasites thrive in polluted internal environments. The more we eat food rich in refined sugar, starches, and other foods that are a part of the Basic American Diet (BAD), the more they thrive.

We are electromagnetic beings, and over the past two centuries, the world has become more and more electromagnetically charged. When the first telegraph lines were laid down in the 1800s, along the railroads, telegraph operators and people who worked on the railroads started getting sick. They would get nervous and jittery and develop a cough; they called it "telegrapher's disease." There were no annual outbreaks of so-called "influenza" before the laying down of the telegraph lines. At some point, they figured out that they could ameliorate the symptoms of telegrapher's disease by using two copper wires and running a long twist in the wires first, instead of using straight copper wire as they had done initially.

Now consider that in the same way that the Grand Coulee Dam makes electricity, our bodies make energy (ATP) in the mitochondria. The Grand Coulee Dam has high water and low water (called a gradient), and the water flows over the dam; when it drops down and hits a turbine that spins around and makes electrical power connected to a generator. In the human body, instead of water flowing across, the body uses hydrogen ionscharged particles that go from a high concentration to a low concentration, hit little "rotors" and make ATP. It is just like the Grand Coulee Dam, only in miniature. This process requires sugar, which comes along in the form of glucose, and at the end of the day, you get ATP.

What happens if you suddenly step into a big electromagnetic field (EMF)? The gradientthe difference between the hydrogen ions outside the mitochondria and insidebecomes less, and you have less power to turn those "rotors" and make energy in the body. That's what caused telegrapher's disease and also explains modern influenza patterns. In addition, EMF exposure disrupts metabolism, making it harder to metabolize sugar.

Both Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison became diabetic at a time when diabetes was extremely rare; they may not have had electricity in their homes, but they were going into a lab where the were surrounded by a huge electrical field all day long. The body can respond to a rate of change that is very slow, but it can take that kind of sudden change. If you look at all of the "pandemics" in the modern world, from the 1918 "Spanish Flu" to COVID, each one has occurred when we have upped the electromagnetic milieu.

How the body gets rid of toxins is related to this issue of the electromagnetics around us and in the body. The water in our cells is in a special form. It's actually a kind of crystalline form, and that crystal expands and contracts. Every cell in your body is like a tiny battery with a negative charge and a positive charge. Now, think back to that disinfectant they sprayed on the plane; when it gets into your lungs and cells, how do you get rid of it? Your body detoxifies poisons by surrounding them with negative charges (electrons) and then electromagnetically pushes the toxins out of the cell. They go into your lymph glands, blood supply and liver and you poop them out.

What this means is that you don't want to let your batteries run down! How do we recharge that detoxification system? We charge our detoxification system with near-infrared light. This is why the "flu season" is in the winter. In the summer, people don't get sick because they're doing things outside and getting lots of light. That light "charges" their batteries, so they can get rid of toxins. In the winter, people start bundling up and don't get as much sunlight. That's OK for a little while, but by the time February rolls around, their batteries are significantly discharged. In addition, the winter holidays often cause people to stay up too late and overindulge, making themselves more toxic at precisely the time when they are less able to detoxify. Or another example: go to a nursing home, where residents eat bad food, are surrounded by toxic disinfectants, never get sunlight and, to make matters worse, they get flu shots just before "flu season" hits.

Another way to understand what happens is electron theft. Although most of our body is made up of "good" bacteria and other organisms that do good things for us, occasionally something "bad" like Escherichia coli or Clostridium difficile takes over. Although we call them "good" and "bad," it's not because they are intrinsically evil. It's like weedsyour dandelions are not evil. We call them a "weed" because they happen to grow in places where we don't want them. The "bad" organismsbacteria or parasites or moldmake us sick by stealing electrons from the body, which disables our enzymes and proteins from doing the right thing. The "good" organisms, on the other hand, don't want to steal your electrons because they are happy with their own electrons.

All of the bioactive molecules in the body are three-dimensional, and they're contained and made in the right shapes to be functional by electromagnetic bonds. If you don't have a good-shaped estrogen, it won't fit in the estrogen receptor, if you don't have a good-shaped insulin, it won't fit in the insulin receptor. When an organism steals electrons, it denatures the protein so that the protein can't keep it's shape' thus, whatever that protein is supposed to do doesn't fit in the "lock" (the receptor) anymore.

Some critters steal electrons more than others. Parasites, for example, are "super electron stealers," which is why they can be so damaging to the human body. Another kind of parasite, the political and financial kinds steal our electrons too. However, they don't have to come and physically take our dollars out of our pocketsthey do it electronically. Chlorine dioxide works by stealing the electrons back. In the process, it disassociates into parts; it liberates some electrons for you, and it also continues to damage the bad critters.

If every molecule of chlorine dioxide steals five electrons from a protein in some bad bacterium, parasite, or mold, consider what happens next; as CD steals more and more electrons, the bad thing falls apart because it can't make the proteins to stay alive. The beauty of this is that you cannot develop "resistance" to it. It's not like antibiotics—it can't create "super bugs." Moreover, CD doesn't hurt your good bacteria. That is why this chemical is God's gift to mankind.

Cancer can be caused by a lot of different things, including infections, and even parasites. Certain parasitic infections can lead to cancer. Infections from certain parasitic worms like schistosomiasis, opisthorchiasis, and clonorchiasis are known to be highly cancer-causing.

Medical imaging is the main source of artificial radiation exposure. Evidence, however, suggests that patients are poorly informed about radiation exposure when attending diagnostic scans. In fact, Americans today are exposed to seven times more radiation from diagnostic medical imaging tests than they were 30 years ago, due to a dramatic increase in the use of X-rays, mammograms, and CT and PET scans as diagnostic tools.

No doubt, CT scans have revolutionized Western medicine, but they are not without risk. If we continue down the current path, CT-induced cancers could soon rival other major, preventable causes of cancer. Most of the increased exposure in the United States is due to CT scanning and nuclear imaging, which require larger radiation doses than traditional x-rays. A chest X-ray, for example, delivers 0.1 mSv, while a chest CT delivers 7 mSv — 70 times as much. And that's not counting the very common follow-up CT scans. Exposure to CT scans can increase the risk of cancer by at least 24%, with such risk lasting even years after the testing. For patients who had multiple CT scans, the increase in risk is higher.

A new study just published in JAMA Internal Medicine has uncovered a staggering reality about CT scans that the medical establishment has been downplaying for years: the radiation from a single year’s worth of these common diagnostic tests could trigger over 100,000 future cancer cases.

It is apparent that the worst enemies that our efforts face come from within us, in the shape of the deep indoctrination we have all received from the schools, churches, corporate employers, military service, and other government interactions we have had. This indoctrination is so pervasive, so insidious, and so generally accepted that most people have a hard time recognizing it when it rears its ugly head.

The average person is exposed to more than 700,000 toxic chemicals a day, and this doesn’t even include things like parasites. From harmful pesticides in our food, contaminants in our water, chemicals in our environments such as phthalates, flame retardants, and many, many more.

Our bodies are constantly being overwhelmed with deadly toxins. And now, one of the worst of all time is the toxic C0VID jab. All of these toxins are enough to send your body into overdrive, leading to all kinds of serious diseases.

Your body needs a month’s supply of glutathione to detox from a dose of Tylenol—which is why natural remedies are recommended.

Parasites inside our bodies rob the systems and organs of the necessary nutrients. Lab studies and animal experiments looking at the connection between parasites and cancer have shown that some parasites can directly cause cancer, while others can indirectly trigger cancer growth in different ways.

Parasites are primarily attracted to undigested food or food not timely removed from our gut. When we are constipated or have less than two to three bowel movements daily, waste accumulates in the gut, creating a viable and friendly environment for parasites to thrive.

An immune system deprived of nutrients and a gut filled with accumulated waste cannot function properly. Cancer and other diseases can evade detection and elimination, proliferating, multiplying, and flourishing.

Detoxing is one of the cornerstones of good health. In healing, we cannot just focus on incorporating the good things into our lives—we also have to focus on removing the bad stuff. Experts even emphasize that the first step to healing is always removing the trash. Cancer thrives in the trash inside our bodies. To heal, we have to remove the trash and then add the good stuff.

The macrophage in the immune system is like little Ms. Pacman that goes around the board eating up the little dots and the little dots would be microbes, bad bugs. So the macrophage, which eats the bugs up, is put to sleep, literally put to sleep by too much sugar in the blood. And Americans now consume 500 times as much sugar as they did 50 years ago. So by eliminating the consumption of refined sugar, you automatically help the macrophage to do its job, to be everything that it can be.

You should eat more protein because your immune system is made from protein, a lot of people don't understand that. Your bones are made from minerals. Your immune system's made from protein. So, if you are deficient in protein, that's no good. So consuming more protein is a good idea when you're sick.

Sometimes fasting is also a good idea when you're sick. It depends on whether or not you've done the preliminary steps. If you haven't done the preliminary steps, then one of the reasons that your immune system is funky is because you're too toxic. And one way that your body facilitates the removal of toxins from the body is by exciting fevers and by fasting, this is why fasting is also one of the keys to longevity. So if you've done the first three steps, and heaven forbid, you get a seasonal cold or influenza or whatever, fasting is a smart idea.

There's a number of different botanical medicines which are effective for infectious disease. Olive leaf is an awesome all around immune stimulant. It's a alcohol extract of olive leaf, really, really good supplement to take both preventively and in the moment if you feel sick.

Your body wants to fix itself. Your body's trying to fix itself. So what do we do? We nutrify, clean the diet up, and detoxify. And then, support the immune system here, support the bone and joints here, support the liver here, support the brain here, whatever. A lot of different ways to do that. We do that by supporting and promoting the body's ability to be healthy and again, health.

So in order to figure out how to do that, it would perhaps be important to have a working definition of health. Because if you don't know what health is, how can you have somebody secure it? You can't. And, if you'd like to see your medical doctor's head explode, ask them to define health. You would think that to a medical professional, that would be easy. But medical doctors do not have a working definition of health. They simply don't. Health is the ability of a living organism to experience stress and remain symptom-free in a state of dynamic equilibrium.

So life is a great big bowl of stress. There's microbial stress, there's weather, toxins, crap in the air, crap in the food, crap in the water. Political stress, financial stress, emotional stress, aging, climate. Lions and tigers and bears, stress everywhere all the time. There's also positive stress like exercise, but negative stress is referred to as distress.

So when the body experiences a negative stress, there are only two possible outcomes. The body defends it, the stress bounces off, and you're good. Or the stress is too much, body can't handle it. The stress impacts and destabilizes the body. And in a destabilized state, the body compensates and generates symptoms. This is very, very, very important to understand, a healthy body is symptom-free.

Any supplement you take, any chiropractic adjustment, acupuncture, chlorine dioxide, urine therapy. It doesn't matter what you try, if you don't believe it's going to work, it isn't. If you don't believe you can be healed and there's any part of your psyche that actually believes, "I don't really think this is going to work, why would you even try it?" The moment you thought that it wasn't.

The placebo effect is when people believe they're getting the drug or the surgery, but they're not. And then all their symptoms still get better, but they never even received a treatment. And this goes for surgeries. They did knee surgeries that were all faked. They just made little slits in the skin that made the person think they got surgery. And these people never got surgery. They never had their ACLs fixed, their MCLs fixed, their meniscus fixed nothing. These people left the hospital believing they had their surgery, went through rehab, and recovered, but never had the treatment ever.

Do you really think we have 70,000 different reasons for problems in the human body, or are we just making it look more complex than it really is?” When you do a deep-dive into this, you find we only have about seven reasons for disease, and one of them is parasites. And parasites turn out to be cancer. We are suffering because we all have parasites. There is no evidence that viruses exist. There’s no evidence of airborne transmission of viral disease that they could ever prove. They tried it multiple different ways.

They’re making a lot of stuff up right now. But if you go back in time, they’ve never proven it for influenza. They can’t isolate a virus. 90 countries, including the CDC in America, could not produce an isolate of SARSCoV-2. What does that tell you? So there’s something wrong with the whole viral paradigm. Neurologic diseases, for example, one pathologist found that in 100% of his series of dead MS patients, they had parasites in the brain and spinal cord.

We are being told that there are all these different diseases, but there are parasites and there are poisons. Those are the two big ones: parasites and poisons.

Virus in Latin doesn’t mean a germ. It means poison. We know they’re poisoning us from the air, the food, and the water. Wouldn’t it be great to have an antidote for those two things? And that’s where chlorine dioxide shines. It’s death to parasites. Parasites hate chlorine dioxide. And it also is super at neutralizing toxins.

There’s nothing good about fluoride in the water, but they keep doing it. But, you don’t really have to worry about it when you put chlorine dioxide in the bath. Fluoride is so toxic because it’s an electron stealer. Chlorine dioxide is the opposite. So fluorine like parasites is deadly to us because it takes our electrons at a very high level. And so chlorine dioxide works for parasites. It also works for helping to neutralize the fluoride, but it also neutralizes other chemicals, and that’s why they use it in water treatment. It’s good for lots of things.

When discussing the reasons for disease and other things, we can talk about nutritional deficiencies obviously, lack of exercise, and psychologic disease. But a lot of psychologic disease, psychiatric disease turns out to be parasites. Even the CDC admits that up to 50% of Americans have some form of toxoplasmosis in the brain. And we know that’s highly associated, with schizophrenia. So a lot of these mental illnesses may, in fact, be parasitic in nature as well. So, you want to make your own chlorine dioxide and put in your bath. You need to activate the crystals when you take the bath.

These things are opportunistic problems. In other words, you don’t get thrush when you’re completely well. You get that when your immune system is damaged, when you’ve got an imbalance, probably when you’ve taken antibiotics or something and gotten rid of the good bacteria. It’s when your immune system is out of whack. You just don’t see sick people who take chlorine dioxide regularly. That’s why they don’t want us to have it.

Autoimmune disease probably is going to turn out to be parasites. And the reason that you get autoimmune, that your immunity would get inflamed is because your body is desperately trying to keep the parasites in check. As you get older, your innate immune system isn’t as effective, and it runs amuck trying to keep these things in check. The answer is get rid of your parasites, and you'll probably get rid of the inflammation. So chlorine dioxide is a good way to deal with this.

Chlorine dioxide does not lose effectiveness over long-term, because the reason antibiotics lose effectiveness is because the bacteria can alter their susceptibility to them. Bacteria get killed because of certain properties of their membranes and the antibiotics attack and make little holes in these membranes in certain ways, but they can pass these plasmids back and forth, and they can develop antibacterial resistance.

You’ll notice you have less obvious changes because you’re getting rid of your toxins. As you become less toxic, you won’t see the diarrhea, you won’t see the rashes, you won’t see these things happen to you because you don’t have as much toxicity to get rid of.

If I had cancer, the first thing I would do is bump up my chlorine dioxide level and use ivermectin and fenbendazole.

One of the things that we know about cancer is that it’s often associated with night sweats. Before people are diagnosed with cancer, it’s one of those things you look at. That’s not the only thing, but we know about weight loss that happens a little later. But night sweats are one of these early signs. And we’re talking about soaking the sheets. Not postmenopausal type night sweats, but real nightly or almost nightly soaking the sheets. After the first three days of parasite medication, the night sweats are usually gone.

Your gut is the first line of defense. Think about hypochlorhydria, low stomach acid, low hydrochloric acid in the stomach, literally being one of the major causes of all disease. It causes three major things, and parasites living in your gut has everything to do with this. Number one, when we eat food, it could be the best organic strength-eating diet, if we’re not breaking down that food, we’re not going to get those nutrients into the cells. So you could be eating a very healthy diet and suffer from malnutrition. The first symptom of malnutrition is low energy, chronic fatigue.

The second thing that happens from low hydrochloric acid is we develop food sensitivities. Same concept, you’re not what you eat, you’re what you digest, absorb, and assimilate. So you could be eating the best foods in the world, if we can’t break them down because we have insufficient levels of hydrochloric acid, and/or not enough digestive enzymes, and/or not enough bile salts from our gallbladder, we’re not breaking down those foods.

Now when those foods go into our gut, the gut’s going to attack it, which creates inflammation, again, creating this state of dysbiosis. Parasites love dysbiosis, parasites love a very sick garden. Look at your gut like a garden. You want lots of flowers, you don’t want lots of weeds. Well, a parasite is a form of a weed. Now here’s the crazy thing, when you have a healthy gut microbiome, and things are in relative balance, in harmony, and homeostasis, things like a parasite, or an inflammatory type of bacteria, or H. pylori, doesn’t stand a chance against your immune system.

We’ve got to give our immune system more credit than it’s actually given out there. Our immune system is so powerful, these things are so afraid of it, they can’t stand a chance. This is why we call parasites and bacteria like Klebsiella or Pseudomonas or Citrobacter, these are inflammatory bacteria, we call them opportunistic pathogens, because a lot of us have them living in our gut and they’re basically dormant. But what happens is they’re waiting for an opportunity, when there’s stress going on in this body. It doesn’t care if it’s emotional stress, physical stress, or chemical stress, it’s literally sensing your stress hormones like cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine.

And when those stress hormones start to basically go into high mode, they basically start to come into the open, they start to make babies, they create little communities. And now you have this majorly dysbiotic state in your gut, where we should have powerful keystone commensal bacteria, like probiotics living healthy, and now those are starting to become depleted.

Your gut’s becoming weakened, and we measure this. Every single test shows a weakening of the gut bacteria that we want in full throttle, and then we’re starting to see an overgrowth of those bad pathogens. And we’re all exposed to this.

When your gut is dysregulated, when your immune system is under stress, when you’re eating crappy foods, now the biologic terrain, it’s like a garbage dump. You’re going to basically attract the rats. So we can sit there and poison off the rats with antibiotics, yeah, you’ll kill rats. But what you’re also going to do is you’re going to kill a whole lot of healthy cells in the same manner, it kills everything. So that’s not the approach.

The approach is to basically go in there, clean out the dump, make sure that it’s healthier, and as that gut gets healthier, guess what’s going to happen? It’s not going to allow these pathogens to live there. That can be anything. It could be a parasite, inflammatory bacteria, active virus, H. pylori. And if that does show up, then you know what you need to do. You need to get on a better diet. We have to get rid of the causes of inflammation, we have to eradicate them with a protocol, and strengthen the leaky gut.

The detoxification of the human body is an extremely important part of the healing process. There’s a lot of misunderstanding about the word detoxification. Most people have no idea what that means, a partial understanding at best of what that means. This isn’t rocket science. Let’s say you won the lottery and you bought a brand new Lamborghini. It has an unleaded engine, unleaded fuel, but you didn’t know any better and you put diesel fuel in it. Well, the car’s going to run like crap if it runs at all. Nothing wrong with the car. You just put the wrong fuel into it and got a bad outcome. It’s the same with the human body.

The single biggest vector of toxins to the human body. One way to describe a toxin would be any substance which creates an inflammatory response in the body. And then there are other things which are actually toxic like dry cleaning chemicals and fire retardant chemicals, and mercury, which are on the clothes, which leech into the skin.

I think that’s what most people think. These are things that people think about when they think about toxins. Those are real things and they’re bad things, but they pale in comparison to food toxins.

Again, in this context, the word toxin would be classified or defined as something which creates in inflammation in the human body.

Currently, more than 80,000 chemicals are used to produce many of the common household products we use in the United States.

With an estimated 1,500 to 2,000 new chemicals being introduced every year, it’s impossible to completely avoid exposure to these agents.

It is, however, possible to cleanse your body of many harmful compounds and create a healthier environment inside your home.

The actual technical definition of toxin is a poisonous substance created biologically through a living organism. However, many people use the word toxins as any chemical in the environment.

In the more common usage, toxins can come from either outside or inside our bodies. Exogenous toxins consist of poisons or pollutants that are introduced into the body through air, food, water, or other outside elements.

Endogenous toxins consist of by-products that originate inside the body. An example could be hormones produced in excess when you are under stress. Under normal conditions, these hormones operate in a healthy manner, but when stress becomes chronic, the excess cortisol can cause health issues and can become toxic.

The severity of a toxin is measured by its toxicity, or its ability to harm or damage an organ, disrupt an enzyme system, or disturb a biochemical process.

The home, both inside and out, is host to an abundance of chemical and biological pollutants. These toxins are found in everything from cleansers, floors, and cookware, to certain bacteria and insects that live on mattresses and upholsteries.

Electrical devices can emit electromagnetic radiation. If they break, they can poison their immediate environment with toxic metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic.

Some of the worst carriers of chemical toxins are cosmetic products you put on your body. Soap, shampoo, and other personal care products expose the average person to hundreds of chemicals.

While people may assume these products are harmless, many contain chemicals that have not been fully tested.

These products often carry known carcinogens and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Ingredient labels are unclear, leaving most consumers confused about the safety of the products they use every day.

Unfortunately, every time you bathe, breathe, cook, sleep, or continue your beauty regimen, these toxins and their effects begin to accumulate in your body.
