Of the more than 80,000 chemicals the EPA has tested less than 500 and have only banned 9. We don’t actually know how many of the rest of the chemicals are causing damage and what the damages are. We do know that when looking at hormones in the same age group now compared to 20 years ago there is a 25-30% decrease in important hormones.
- Heavy metal toxins or persistent organic pollutants can cause oxidative stress, inflammation, hypertension, heart disease, immune dysfunction, and decreased energy due to mitochondrial dysfunction
- Normal cellular functioning leaves waste proteins in a cell. If the cells can’t detoxify well, they become senescent cells. Senescent cells are cells that have become so inefficient that they lose the ability to divide and also begin to secrete cell signaling molecules that decrease the efficiency of surrounding healthy cells
- There are many things that can be done to clean up your cell system and reverse cell senescence (aging)
- Smoking and excess alcohol are major toxins
- Constant exposure to garden and lawn chemicals can accumulate in your tissues and cause problems
- Eating non organic and pesticide treated food can lead to built up toxins in your system
- The treatment begins with elimination of exposure and slow and careful detox
The treatment may include lifestyle modifications, supplements, medicines when needed, and peptides.
