What are “toxins” and why is it so important to get rid of them? Toxins are considered any substance or environmental influence that disturbs metabolism and can result in chronic illness. Many people ask me if it’s really necessary to do a detoxification program. Recent research suggests that between $568 and $793 billion is spent per year on treatment for environmentallycaused disease. These studies also expose connections between environment and the development of many chronic degenerative diseases. How do chronic diseases really begin? Some scientists believe they begin with a gene-environment mismatch. Heavy metal toxicity in the environment can affect all organ systems, especially the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, gastrointestinal system, renal, cardiovascular and hematopoietic systems. Research points to clear links between heavy metals and ADHD, allergies, Alzheimer’s, Autism, autoimmune diseases, kidney disease and cancer
