The world is very toxic, more toxic that we can imagine. We can not escape them as they are in the water, air, soil. So we find these things in our food and ourselves. For us, this is not disheartening, rather it helps to explain and show why our ills and issues are occurring. We can clean them out and get balance back in the body. It takes some time and there are lots of them. But it can be done.

Chemicals

Chemicals is the broad category heading we use for: environmental chemicals, pharmaceuticals and vaccines. Environmental chemicals are the things we easily and quickly think about… dioxins, PFAS, BPA or pesticides. Pharmaceuticals is an interesting sub-category as these are not just injected or swalled through a prescription, but can be found in the water supply. There are a large number of pharmaceuticals that can not be completely filtered out and then build up in people’s bodies, causing disruption of their design and function.

Metals

On the surface this seems like an easy and straightforward category. However, what we have found makes the discussion much more complex. Many people treat the ‘metallic’ version of a metal, with very good results. What we have found is that the body sees each isotope of a metal differently. So treating the metallic version, does not treat the various isotopes of that same metal. So we’ve figured out a way to be sure to treat all of these different isotopes. The other finding has been the large number of synthetic and/or radioactive metals that we find. Many of these are produced in nuclear plants and then can be discharged into the air. This means it can then get into the rain…then the soil, water and ourselves.

Infections

This encompasses the sub-categories of: Bacteria, Parasites, Molds (yeast/fungal). What has been most fascinating in this group is that we don’t find them alone. It is almost always 2 of the 3 sub-categories together and 4-6 different species from each. Certainly with some acute situations there might only be one sub-category involved, but there are still 2-3 species from the group involved.

The final category is not a toxin. So it does not fit well here, but does go back to our design and function. In addition, it is not something we think about often or we concentrate only on one aspect. Certainly one can be deficient in vitamins, but what we find is that the mineral deficiencies play the bigger role in modern health than vitamins. This is why its placed here.

DEFICIENCY: A deficiency can arise from a number of ways including: poor absorption, low intake (including food deficient in minerals even if healthy), ‘pasted down deficiency’, absorption of other metals that block usage. There can be others, but the vast majority of issues fall into these categories. Certainly single elements, say chromium (Cr) for example, can be a deficiency and needs to be addressed. Single element deficiencies are well known and well studied. What we find more fascinating is the number of deficiencies of ‘bonded’ elements as the cause of more and deeper issues. That might not be the correct wording, but we are lacking language here. Some people might call them ‘Oligo-minerals’ or ‘Oligo-salt’. These are not true ‘salts’. Whatever the definition, one can be deficient in magnesium (Mg). You could also be deficient in cobalt (Co). You could put both of these elements in supplement form into the same glass of water. But what you will not have is the ‘bonded’ element of Mg-Co. The body uses and see these bonded elements differently. These are not in great supply in the food system. They are found in good quantity in things like Humic acid or Shilajit.
