Many of the toxins that we are exposed to daily from our air, food and water can build up in our bodies. When adults were tested for only 210 of the 80,000 chemicals that are used daily in the United States, the average per person had was 91!
These toxins cause problems in our bodies ranging from fatigue,
depression, and headaches to allergies, arthritis and other auto-immune
diseases (where the body attacks itself) in addition to chronic
neurologic diseases and some cancers.These toxins cause many of the
debilitating problems that many people think are inevitable signs of
aging.
Our environmental medicine program seeks to identify if a
toxin-buildup is a cause of your health problems and if so, how to best
go about reducing your load so that your body can heal itself as it is
designed.
