We are all exposed to many different types of industrial toxins, heavy metals and pesticides on a daily basis primarily from consuming “toxic” foods and beverages our digestive tract identified as unsafe.

The liver is the largest internal organ in the body, with over 3,000 essential functions, including digestion, metabolism of sugar and sex hormones, removal of toxins from the blood, cholesterol production, and nutrient storage. The liver is the key organ which removes heavy metals and pesticides, and metabolizing drugs and supplements. It is supported by the kidneys in the removal of waste products by urine.

When the liver and kidneys become increasingly overworked and diseased due to excess toxin exposure over a long period of time, stress signals are produced from the endocrine system. This may triggers symptoms, such as stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation to inform you to get rid of the underlying culprit.

When the stomach’s warning bells are rung, these toxic foods are rejected which triggers acute symptoms such as stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. When these signals are ignored, the body becomes increasingly damaged and congested which causes high concentrations of toxins (i.e., heavy metals arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, gasoline derivatives, mold toxins) to longer be excreted from the stool and urine. This can disrupt the natural balance of the microbiome and cause overgrowth of pathogenic microbes. Toxins are typically stored in the bones, colon, and other organ cavities for a minimum of 8 to 28 years from a one time exposure and setting off rampant disease. One of the first presentations of excess toxin overload and the onset of an underlying disease is food sensitivities and allergies. They can trigger an inflammatory autoimmune reaction that sets the stage for a variety of chronic diseases.

Symptoms of high toxin load

The most common symptoms which represent excess consumption of toxic foods and beverages associated with a high toxin load and the inability to detoxify include any of the following:

• Fatigue

• Migraines/headaches

• Dizziness

• Difficulty sleeping

• Mood swings

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Irritable stomach.

The immune system consistently reacts to toxins inside foods causing increased food sensitivities and allergies. Some of the most toxic foods rich in additives, chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, and industrial toxicants are found in all forms of animal protein, processed ready-made food, refined sugar, alcohol, coffee, and chocolate, They are also found in most pharmaceutical medication, candy, chewing gum, tobacco products, and man-made beverages (i.e., alcohol, coffee, black tea).
