Chemical Toxicity & Radioactive Elements

Okay so, what exactly does radiation and toxins do to me?

When an individual comes in contact with radiation, this energy can get into the body and has the potential to do substantial damage. Even at low exposures, over time radiation can cause things like: 

• Autoimmune disease

• Immune system suppression

• Inflammation 

• Promotion of candida overgrowth

• Slowing of the body’s drainage pathways

• Suppression of the body’s innate healing ability

Symptoms of radiation toxicity can include: 

• Anemia

• Emotional or mental issues

• Fatigue

• Hair loss

• Loss of appetite 

• Low blood cell counts

• Nausea and vomiting

• Osteoporosis

• Skin problems (color changes, dryness, itching)

Brain-specific symptoms

• Cognitive problems (memory and speech)

• Cranial nerve dysfunction

• Earaches or hearing issues

• Headaches

• Hormonal issues (hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid)

• Seizures

Head and neck symptoms

• Difficulty swallowing

• Dry eyes

• Dry or sore mouth

• Hoarse voice or vocal changes

• Stiff jaw

• Taste bud changes

• Tooth decay

Chest symptoms

• Cough

• Heartburn

• Heart issues (congestive heart failure, irregular heartbeat, palpitations)

• Soreness or swelling of breast tissue

Abdominal symptoms

• Bloating and gas

• Diarrhea

• Indigestion

• Kidney problems

• Stomach ulcers

Pelvic symptoms

• Bladder infection (cystitis)

• Burning sensation or pain while urinating

• Fertility problems

• Loss of bladder or bowel control

• Painful bowel movements

• Sexual issues (female and male)

Dang! Where do I even start?

One of the most powerful places to start is at the source. Reducing the toxic exposure is paramount to beginning to unlock the ability to heal. 

You can do these things to start reducing your toxic load:

Eat organic non GMO foods, clean up your water source (we cant emphasize this enough, water is one of the LARGEST sources of radioactive elements and toxins), and begin to swap out toxic cleaning and beauty products that you are using/coming in contact with. 

But really, can’t I just do a detox?

Not so fast, “detox” is usually a popular term used to sell products or a cleanse. But it’s SO much more than that and can often do more damage than good!

Most cleanses will focus on pushing a toxin through the liver (juicing anyone?) But what is not understood is that cleanses, like juicing, will push only phase one of liver detox. This can be bad news when phases 2 and 3 are not “open”. If all phases of liver detox are not working optimally and our drainage pathways are not flushing, toxins can wreak havoc on the body, especially our cells and immune system. 

Drainage what?

Every toxin must be able to leave the body once it is broken down in the liver. That means your colon, your kidneys, lymph, cells and especially bile pathway need to be functioning efficiently.
