3 Pesticides/Xenoestrogens Heavy Metals- Mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, Arsenic Wireless/Cell phones/electromagnetic House Hold Exposures Water Radiation Excitotoxins Excitoxins A substance added to foods or beverages that literally stimulate neurons to death causing brain damage and other problems of varying degrees. Can be found in such ingredients as MSG, aspartame/nutra sweet/amino sweet, cysteine, hydrolyzed protein and aspartic acid. *Amino acids aspartic acid and glutamate are biggest culprits Problems With Excitotoxins Promote growth and spread of cancer Sudden cardiac death Increased carbohydrate cravings (MSG), metabolic syndrome and leptin insensitivity Dementia and brain atrophy Seizures Auto Immune Disorders Migraine Headaches Obesity Diabetes Neurodegeneration disorders- Alzheimer s, Autism, ADD, Parkinson s, Huntingdon s Hidden Names For MSG

6 Water Cereals Medications Breath mints, gum, hard candy Flavored Syrups- coffee Iced Tea Ice cream Instant cocoa Pudding Nutrition bars and protein shakes Packaged diet foods/shakes Yogurt Detoxification Diets There are diets specifically designed to allow the body to enhance detoxification, remove offending agents (food allergens, toxins, chemicals, etc) Ultimately every dies should allow one s body to eliminate process and metabolize toxins, nutrients and foods, while being fueled by nutrient rich foods. Four Basic Phases to Most Detox Diets 1. Eliminate/Reduce bad and possibly bad (gluten, sugar, artificial sweeteners, red meats, caffeine, alcohol, excitotoxins, soda pop, high sugar juices, dairy) 2. Introduce/Expand Upon Good Foods (5 to 7 servings vegetables/day, 2 to 3 servings of fruit, Good fats/oils, High fiber, Clean water) 3. Maintain/Repair/Detox (Look at other issues such as digestion, etc that needs to be attended to) 4. Reasonable Reintroduction (Introducing bad foods back to diet and see how it reacts. This is not to say, if the body can handle refined sugars, to regularly put them back into the diet. The goal is to design and create a healthy diet one can stick to for the long term) Supplements For Detoxification

8 DIM and I3C- Supports healthy estrogen metabolites. Fiber Other Detoxification Therapies Far Infrared Sauna s- Far infrared heat penetrates deeper into skin. Draws out toxins and increases body s metabolic rate. We prefer wood with no volatile oils. Solid poplar is preferred. No chemical based glues. Formaldehyde or treated woods, etc. Check out for the saunas which we recommend. They have a good referral thank you program as well if you recommend them to your customers. Coffee Enema s- Safe and effective way to detoxify both liver and gallbladder. See attached instruction sheet in member s area. Vitamin C Flush- Detox, great for allergies. Take ½ teaspoonfuls of alkalinized vitamin C powder, mix in water and consume every 30 minutes until have to go to the bathroom with a watery bowel. Next day your dose will be 70% of that dose. You are saturating the cells, so the next day you will generally require less. Do not use where constipated of if someone has an impaired phase II detox.
