These are environmentally harmful substances that could harm health if taken orally, ingested or absorbed subcutaneously.They are found in OUR FOOD, OUR WATER, OUR HOMES AND IN NATURE.

Here are just a few items that are regularly used in our homes.

Toxins in our Food
The list of NON-food items in our bodies gets longer every day.When our cells can’t recognize food they are treated like foreign invaders, toxins, and chemicals, our system goes into overdrive to neutralize them out of your body.
This takes tremendous energy from your liver and kidneys to get these toxins out.
In one study it was found that newborn babies were born with 287 contaminants in their blood, including mercury, pesticides, and Teflon.
So how can we help ourselves?
Eliminate or reduce processed food from our diet.
Remove packaged food that is covered in plastic.
Use natural anti-inflammatory products like curcumin, essential oils, herbs, and spices.
Plants have been proven to reduce toxins in our homes and purify the air.
