Have You Cleaned Your House Lately?

A note from Biotics Research: Biotics Research has changed Bio-Immunozyme Forte™ from a tablet to a capsule. The formulation was not changed and so the recommended dosage remains the same.

Have you cleaned your house lately? By your house, I mean your body. This is the ideal time of year for your body to become renewed by detoxifying the collection of chemicals and toxins that have not been metabolized. These toxins may have been in your system for months or even years! Sooner or later, the build-up of these toxins creates symptoms of a disease or unknown obvious cause.

Personally, I have detoxified annually for years. The benefits for me include:

  • Eliminating cravings, especially after the holidays
  • Relieving headaches
  • Increasing my mental clarity
  • Creating a jumpstart on losing pounds accumulated during the holidays and winter
  • Eliminating joint aches and pains

Each person will experience a unique set of benefits, as each person has a different body chemistry that needs to be cleansed.

The best way to understand the process and advantages of detoxification is to watch this 4-minute video on Detoxification by clicking here. After watching this video, I can help you take the necessary steps to implement this health plan!

Assessment of Your Environmental Exposure

Since we live in a dynamic environment and there is chemical exposure on a regular basis, it is up to us to make lifestyle choices that will help our bodies stay healthy and as chemical-free as possible.

Healthy food choices can help support every cell of the body to work at optimal levels. Every time you eat, you have the chance to treat your body well or to poison it. The choice is yours! By choosing high quality organic fruits and vegetables on a daily basis, you can reduce cell damage, oxidative stress, and abnormal cell growth.

Take time to review your entire lifestyle and begin simple changes to improve your health…

  • Your Mind: Is it often flooded with negative thoughts or unhappiness?
  • Your Body: How does it feel? Excited and full of energy for the day?
  • Your Spirit: Are you living your passion and heart’s desire?
  • Your Toxicity: What is in your home, office, car, and yard?
  • Your Exercise: Do you do aerobic exercise 3-4 times a week?
  • Your Nutrition: What types of nutrients are you putting in your body? Are you eating live food or dead food?
  • Your Sleep: Do you get 8 restful hours each night?

The best way to stay out of our “sick care system” is to STAY WELL. Call for an appointment to assess your environmental exposure and lifestyle to increase your wellness.

Toxic Exposure: Sight Unseen

The environmental toxins that are absorbed into our bodies are not processed and eliminated easily from the body. Many times, these toxins can be the underlying cause of repeated symptoms and the level of severity of health problems.

Each person has a bio-individuality that makes us more or less sensitive to certain chemicals in our environment. There are many common responses to chemicals, but we all react to the chemicals differently. What may not affect one person may make another person very ill.

There is substantial evidence that children with ADHD, particularly boys, have higher concentrations of pesticides and organophosphates in their bodies. The higher the level of toxins is, the greater the risk of ADHD.

All of these toxins can accumulate in any part of our bodies. Some toxins are attracted to our nerve cells, some to the thyroid, some to our gastrointestinal tract, etc. For this reason, it is important to do annual detoxifications to cleanse the body of the toxins. You should choose a detoxification that is gentle, easy to fit into your lifestyle, and professionally supervised to be as effective as possible. I can help you find a detox program to specifically suit your needs.

Spring Cleaning: Wash Your Hands of BPA!

I am often asked, “Where could I be exposed to environmental chemicals? I eat a very clean diet.” The truth is that we are all exposed to environmental toxins on a daily basis.

Researches from the U.S. non-profit groups Safer Chemicals, Safer Families and the Washington Toxics Coalition have reported finding high levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) on cash register receipts and paper money. BPA is found in a powdery film in thermal paper used for receipts, which is then transferred from our fingers onto dollar bills. Holding receipts for just 10 seconds causes up to 2.5 micrograms of BPA to transfer onto our fingers. 15 times that amount of BPA is transferred to our hands by rubbing the receipts!

Low levels of BPA have been linked to breast cancer, obesity, and early onset of puberty.

BPA is also found in water jugs, soft drink cans, hockey helmets, mobile phone housings, computers, and many more common objects. The health hazards vary from product to product.

We don’t live in a sterile environment, and we cannot protect ourselves from all the potential hazards. We can, however, wash our hands frequently. Hand washing is effective in avoiding colds and flu viruses, and it also washes away toxins like BPA.

We can also eat a whole foods diet with organic and local products. A clean diet will help us avoid undue exposure to toxins and reduce the accumulation of these toxins in our tissues.

A detoxification program done periodically will help remove toxins from our bodies and will reduce the levels of toxins we cannot avoid. Spring is an excellent time to do spring cleaning in our homes and our bodies. Talk to me about starting a complete and easy detoxification program.
