80,000 new chemicals have been introduced and most have never been tested for safety. Every single person and animal has traces of toxic chemicals or metals in its tissues. Where it becomes a problem is when these toxins move from the  blood into storage sites like fatty tissues and organs.

Here are some clues to how well your detox system is working:

• Are you always constipated?
• Do you feel fatigued
• Do you often have muscle aches or headaches?
• Do you seem to have concentration, or memory problems?
• Does your urine smell strong and look dark in appearance?

• Has your home been treated by an exterminator?
• Do you use household or lawn and garden chemicals?
• Do you have more than one or two mercury amalgams (“silver” fillings)?
• Do you use wifi often?
• Do you eat swordfish or tuna more than once a week?
• Are you sensitive to gasoline fumes, perfumes, new-car smells, fabric stores, tobacco smoke, hairspray, detergents or soaps?
• Do you have a negative reaction to MSG’s or sulfates?
• Do you live in a large urban or industrial area?
• When you drink coffee do you feel palpitations, sweating or dizziness ?

• Do you regularly take acetaminophen (Tylenol), acid-blocking drugs such as (Tagamet, Prilosec, Prevacid)?  Are you taking  hormone pills, patches or creams such as birth control , estrogen, progesterone or  prostate medication?  Do you take ibuprofen regularly?
