I get asked many times what vitamins are good. For a long time, I have thought about what would help people the most. So, we already covered the multivitamin, now we have to look at a major problem in society.
Toxicity.
So here we have a conundrum. We like our modern lives and conveniences, but at the same time so many of them are shortening our lives and making them less healthy.
In health, you can’t solve man-made problems with more man-made solutions.
Cancer is a good example
#1 Proof that cancer is a man-made disease.
The article relates to studies of mummies and they found that tumors were extremely rare. For more, just read the article. A few highlighs from Mercola’s comments also echo our topic.
Cancers can be from:
- Pesticides and other chemical exposures.
- Pharmaceutical drugs (what?)
- Processed food
- Wireless technlogies
- Obesity
- Stess
- Lack of sunshine / and using sunscreens
There are some heavy hitters in there, but we’ll focus on the toxicity ones, pesticides, medications, processed foods.
Pesticides are poisons, no matter what you call them, or how you use them. Almost ALL our food is laced with them. Unless you are searching for, and using organic foods and products, you are eating or smearing these chemicals on your body every day.
Is it really possible in America to go totally natural? Sure. Is it likely? Not really, because it is so incredibly difficult. We’ll talk about how I deal with this later.
Medications are nothing more than man-made chemicals, that force the body to react a certain way. They were originally based on natural products, but alas, there is no money to be made with natural stuff. They have their place in our world, but real health will never come from medications. It can’t.
Oh my nemesis... processed food.
In the book, “The Crazy Makers” the author points out that even baby foods have been found to contain pesticides.
#2 Trouble losing weight?
What happens is that a “chemical” comes into the body, that could be drugs(like Tylenol), Trans-fats, pesticides, smog, solvents, or really anything artificial, and your liver is required to deal with it.
Those chemicals have to go some where?
If you can’t break them down and get them out, then your body stores them in the fat cells. You can think of your body as the ultimate police officer. When something is out of line, it cracks down. Your body can’t have a volitile band of merry chemicals roaming your blood stream.
The best case scenario is to avoid all the chemicals in the first place, but that is pretty hard to do. So, the back-up plan needs to involve keeping the liver tuned up and on full alert, and fully armed to break down the chemicals.
Did you know that the most powerful detoxifier is an antioxidant called GLUTATHIONE.
Glutathione is made up of three amino acids; cysteine, gamma glutamic acid and glycine.
It helps the body repair cellular damage caused by pollution, stress and fatigue. White blood cells, especially T-cells, which are responsible for healthy immune system need glutathione and remain at optimal level in the blood.
What on earth to do?
- Use more organic products (make-ups, shampoos, lotions, etc)
- More organic food
- Eat Kale
- Eat Brussels sprouts
- Eat more greens in general
- Eat eggs
- Drink more water, less alcohol
The next level of prevention. Every day I encounter some form of toxicity no matter how hard I try to live a clean life. So, every day I try and help my poor liver out by eating healthy foods and taking Supplements and some herbs.
Cruciferous Complete from Standard Process is probably the easiest and simplest thing I do daily. It is Kale and Brussels sprouts in a pill. Kale is the most nutritionally dense veggie and both of these are great precursors to Glutathione production. Also, in other studies, these two have been shown to be powerful detoxifiers of excess estrogen. Women know how important that is.
How EASY is that?
If you are thinking that you are way over due for some cleaning then taking the Cruciferous Complete would be a good idea. My whole family takes one a day, like I said...easy.
