Those of us in the nutritional field


look at man-made chemicals differ- ently than those in the scientific field. Where industries and agencies deem them as ‘safe’ we view them with a jaundiced eye. Personally, I think the human body knows the difference between that which is natural and that which is synthetically produced. You just can’t fool Mother Nature. The human body is


a wondrous design, but it wasn’t designed to handle modern chemi- cals. That may be why individuals react differ- ently to them. There is just no master plan on how a body must react to them. Few can argue that no matter how seem- ingly safe, or bio-identical, a lab pro- duced chemical may be it is still not from nature. And the body will use it differently than it uses that which is natural. The more crafted chemicals we


take into our body, the more our chance of becoming contaminated by them. The fact that our modern world is being filled with contaminates is not much cause for debate. But suggest that those contaminates have a nega- tive accumulative affect on the human body, well, then you have a debate. Chemical, pharmaceutical and med- ical industries base their existence on synthetics. Their survival depends on our ‘buying’ the safety of their prod- ucts. And buy them we do. Chemicals are in all our favorite


things. Sometimes our favorite things are chemicals. So how can we deal with them? By taking in a few as we can and eliminating as many as we can.


Today, we literally must choose


our poisons. I choose foundation makeup and hair color as my poisons while using toxic-free mascara, blush, lipstick, lotions, moisturizers, soaps and shampoos. I choose not to take drugs, over-the-counter or prescrip- tion, and I do not to use any household cleansers that are not natural. Some chemicals are more ques-


tionable than others. Triclosan, a chemical used in many antibacterial products, has been banned in the UK since 2003 because they determined its use has led to the mutation of drug resistant ‘superbugs’. In 2000, the

report to the Council on Scientific Affairs, writes that “…it may be prudent to avoid the use of antimi- crobial agents in consumer products”. Seeing that Triclosan is designated as a pesticide by the Environmental Protection Agency, I whole heartedly


agree. Anti-bacterial products will not


find their way intomy shopping cart. I cringe when viewing mother’s on TV commercials spraying cribs or wiping babies’ bottoms with products labeled as anti-bacterial. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a good idea to kill all bacteria. Without beneficial bacterial we cannot maintain good health and nature has provided the human body with defenses against harmful bacte- ria. Exposure to bad bacteria helps the body to build immunity against their possible negative effects. However, if needed, there are many natural anti- bacterial alternatives including essen- tial oils and natural alcohols such as vodka. Vodka and water soaked paper towels kept in sealed baggies make excellent


wipes. Commercial personal care prod-


ucts and household cleaning products, almost without exception, are nothing but chemical soups. Avoid themwhen you can. There are many wonderful natural alternatives that have been used by our ancestors for centuries. Buying organic foods is another


way to help prevent chemical contam- ination of the body.Many commercial foods are grown from synthetically and genetically altered seeds that are then laden with layers of pesticides. We can’t avoid all of them if we are to live a modern life, but we can avoid these foods as much as is possible if we make the effort. Those who are ill should avoid them entirely. To help eliminate contaminants,


nutritional practitioners recommend a bowel cleansing at least twice a year


for detoxification. There are a number of good herbal bowel cleansing prod- ucts on the market. However, a cleanse of any kind is not a good idea in a malnourished or otherwise weak- ened body. I would strongly suggest professional guidance on the right one for your health needs. One way to reduce our accumula-


tive load of pesticides and heavy met- als is by allowing our LDL cholesterol to do one of itsmost important jobs, to detoxify us. The liver produces extra LDL cholesterol when it is signaled that there is an overload of chemical toxins in the body. By sticking to the toxins, the LDL cholesterol can make them bio-unavailable. The HDL cho- lesterol then comes along to help nat- urally move the toxic laden LDL to the bowels and out of the body. An unusually high level of LDL choles- terol is often a sign of high levels of toxicity. We can also reduce our pesticide


and heavy metal load, along with many other synthetic chemicals, by intravenous chelation. There are med- ical doctors who are trained in this procedure. Body contaminates are measured before and again after a series of treatments to gauge progress. Frequency biofeedback, a form of


energy medicine, is openly used for the same purpose in the UK. Energy medicine is being usedmore andmore in medical clinics all over Europe and is being touted as the future of all medicine. Legalizing effective healing


traveling anti-bacterial


methods that do not depend upon chemical drugs is long overdue in this country. Prevention is the key to avoiding a dependency on chemical drugs. The use of such drugs often leads to the need for additional drugs. Prevention, avoidance and detoxifica- tion are our best hope for dealing with this contaminated world.
