The 6 Stresses of Health

Toxicity

“The air we breather—the absolute necessity of life—is contaminated with the exhaust fumes of road traffic, the invisibly tiny particles that fly off tires and nestle in your lungs, the residues of aircraft fuel descending from the sky and the poisonous fumes of countless industrial procedures belching out of factory chimneys or from neighborhood dry cleaning establishments. Water—another basic essential of life—is just as bad, contaminated with chlorine and fluoride and with the residues of a wide variety of drugs, which resist all existing purification techniques (except distillation).  Industrial and agricultural run-off contaminates rivers and lakes. (1)”

Electrical pollution such as cell phones, microwaves, cell phone and radar antennae, microwaves, television sets, computers are the latest additions to environmental pollutions and our increasing toxicity levels.

Food processing with chemical additives, artificial flavors, colors and dyes, as well as preservatives commonly called “Food cosmetics” sole purpose is to extend the shelf life almost indefinitely and make the product look more attractive, yet substitute the artificial flavors for the missing ones.  These are added to our food solely for the purpose of serving the profit centered interests of the manufacturers and have nothing to do with healthy nutrition. 
Highly poisonous pesticides, fungicides, herbicides and other chemicals used in commercial agriculture leave residues on the plants that become are food and many of these poisons permeate the produce and cannot be removed by washing.

And lastly, one of the biggest contributors of all to our toxicity accumulation problems is the pharmaceutical and drug companies.  There are millions of synthetic drugs out there being prescribed to us for every know condition to man.  These drugs may fix or “cover up” the problem you are experiencing but at what expense?  The list of side effects to these drugs can be quite extensive which will warrant a need for more drugs to cover up those problems.  This can create a never-ending cycle as ALL DRUGS HAVE SIDE EFFECTS and damage the human body.


 
 
Toxicity


These are just examples, to name a few, of the variety of methods we accumulate toxins in or body of which we may or may not be aware of.  There are thousands of other ways we surround ourselves and accumulate these poisons that are slowly killing us. 

Our detoxifying organs: the kidneys, the liver, the bowels and colon, the lungs, the skin, the gall bladder, our lymphatic system, all of these are in place to help rid ourselves of unnecessary waste and toxicity accumulation.  However in today’s demanding lifestyle, food enhanced, environmentally polluted, and technologically advanced world we live in, as intelligent and machine like our bodies are at keeping us thriving to experience good health. WE NEED HELP AND THE BODY NEEDS A BREAK!  We have to be more aware of how we are destroying ourselves and the environment that surrounds us.  WE MUST AID OUR BODY IN BECOMING HEALTHIER BY DETOXIFYING THESE POISONS WE HAVE ACCUMULATED.


What would happen if you put diesel fuel in your gasoline engine?
What would happen if you never changed your cars oil?
What would happen if you never changed your cars oil and air filters?


BAD THINGS WOULD EVENTUALLY OCCUR TO YOU CAR AND BAD THINGS WILL OCCUR IF YOU DON’T HELP YOUR BODY FILTER OUT THE TOXINS YOU’VE ACCUMULATED OVER THE YEARS!!!
