Low-level, long-term ex- posure to toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides, industrial compounds, and pollutants is associ- ated with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), mul- tiple chemical sensitivi- ties (MCS), fibromyalgia (FM), nerve degenerative diseases, atherosclerosis, and many types of can- cers. Common signs and symptoms of environmen- tal toxicity include acne, rashes, headaches, aches and pains, fatigue, muscle weakness, tinnitus, fer- tility problems, memory loss, and chronic immune system depression. Toxins can remain in
the body for many years. Research suggests we all have toxin contamination
within our bodies due to this lifetime of exposure.
How Does The Body Remove Toxic Sub- stances?
An individual’s ability
to remove - or detoxify – toxins is a primary factor in toxin- related condi- tions. In order to remove the toxins, the body has a complex system that con- verts them into non-toxic products for removal. The majority of detoxification occurs in the liver; how- ever, all tissues have some ability to detoxify, includ- ing the intestines, skin, and lungs.
Achieving Balanced Detoxification
Optimal detoxification requires that the liver func- tions optimally. Fruits and
Nutritional Support For Detoxification Detoxification is an en-
ergy-requiring process that puts a burden on the body. Therefore, wa- ter or juice fasts are not beneficial because they delete the body of the es- sential nutrients required for healthy detoxification. These fasts can have many adverse health effects, in- cluding decreased energy production, breakdown of lean tissue instead of fat and increased oxidative stress.

Several Drugs to Treat Alzheimer’s Undergoing Clinical Trials
Alzheimer’s disease is
a neurodegenerative dis- order characterized by progressive loss of mem- ory and other issues that could include confusion, difficulty solving problems, and anxiety. Alzheimer’s damages and destroys brain nerve cells causing problems with memory, changes in thinking and behavior that will eventu- ally become severe enough to affect everyday quality of life. It is believed that the loss of nerve cells con- tributes to the functional decline seen in patients who have the disease. Plaques form in the brain when toxic beta-amyloid and other components clump together and re- main in the brain. Alzheimer’s slowly de-
stroys a person’s mem- ory and thinking skills.
Eventually their ability to carry out simple tasks such as bathing or eating deteriorates. Personal- ity and behavior can also change as the disease progresses. The disease progresses over time re- sulting in death. It is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. Alzheimer’s is the most
common form of dementia in the elderly, affecting approximately 18 million people worldwide. While medications are avail- able to treat some of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s; these current therapies do not modify, reverse, or stop the progression of the disease. Currently, there are sev-
eral drugs in clinical trials taking place in America hoping to find possible new treatments for this
debilitating disease that greatly affects both the patient and the patient’s family and friends. It is important for pa- tients and families affect- ed by Alzheimer’s disease to consider participat- ing in a clinical research study. Presently, there are medications, imaging studies, and vaccinations in development for the detection and treatment of Alzheimer’s. Clinical studies that test investi- gational treatments are the best chance we have for learning more about this disease and devel- oping the best course of action.

vegetables contain many detoxifiers, which is one reason these foods are as- sociated with reduced sus- ceptibilities to cancer and degenerative diseases.
