Lose the toxins and lose the weight

Toxic substances include heavy metals such as Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic and Mercury, organic compounds such as dioxin, plastics such as styrene, hormones and other chemicals used in agriculture such as pesticides and herbicides.

These environmental toxins are not only making us sick but they may also even interfere with attempts to lose weight. According to Dr Paula Baillie-Hamilton who published her work in the 2002 Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine, between the years of 1930 and 2000, the rise in the use of synthetic chemicals matched the rise in the number of overweight and obese adults in the United States. The liver plays a major role in weight loss and metabolism functions. When the liver is overloaded (toxic), weight loss efforts may be blocked as the liver can not efficiently burn body fat.  

We live on a toxic planet with over 75,000 new chemicals being introduced in the last 60 years. As a result, the average person living in the developed world is now contaminated with at least 500 industrial toxins, few of which have been properly tested for harmful effects. These chemicals are not only found in the air that we breathe, but also in the food we eat, water we drink, homes we live in and in the personal cosmetic products that we use.

A 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group identified 287 industrial chemicals in the blood from babies’ umbilical-cord, including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system.  

Traditionally, overweight and obesity is caused by numerous factors including eating large portions of food, eating the wrong foods, and not getting enough exercise. Experts believe that one of the underlying reasons for being overweight is an overload of environmental toxins throughout the body. We are all exposed to various amounts of toxins and can’t help being exposed with some people being more susceptible than others.

The fewer toxins the body has the more weight that probably can be lost. If you have been struggling with weight loss or if you have tried everything and have reached the limit and can’t loose any more weight consider including detoxification as part of your dietary plan. 

Until now, the best way to eliminate these toxins has been liver or colon cleansing. Most cleansing products focus on improving the function of your gastrointestinal tract. They remove waste which carries most of the toxins in your body.

Unfortunately, while you feel a whole lot better when you bowel is working properly, it simply doesn’t do the job efficiently enough.

Liquid zeolites(NCD) are a negatively charged mineral that have been shown to be effective at removing heavy metals and toxins from your body. They work at the cellular level by specifically trapping these toxins inside their cavities or cage like structures and safely removing them from your body through the urine and digestive tract.  You can remove most of the toxins from your body by simply taking few drops a day with water.

Cancer cells and Oxygen deprivation 

In 1931 Dr Warburg won his first Noble prize for proving that low levels of oxygen in the cell triggers a normal cell to become a cancerous cell. He stated in his article titled The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer that “the cause of cancer is no longer a mystery, we know it occurs whenever any cell is denied 60% of its oxygen requirements. In later research it was found that it took a reduction of 35% in oxygen levels for this to happen. There are a number of factors that contribute to cells being poorly oxygenated. This include an overall of toxins clogging up the cells, poor quality cell walls that don’t allow nutrients into the cells, poor circulation and even perhaps lower levels of oxygen in the air that we breathe.

Cancer has been around as long as mankind but the number of cancer cases has exploded in the last half of the 21^st century.  Contributing to this explosion are the huge amounts of toxins and pollutants that we are exposed to including heavy metals such as lead and mercury, high stress lifestyle that suppresses our immune system, food of poor quality that is full of pesticides and electromagnetic stress to name just a few. The constant exposure to tens of thousands of manmade chemicals from birth onwards, chlorinated and fluoridated water, pesticides and other toxins leads to the creation to too many free radicals that overtime can overwhelm our body’s natural defence mechanism of eliminating cancer cells from our body when they are formed.

Heavy metals and chemicals in our body act as stressors on the cell. In order to protect itself the cell begins to build a rigid wall around itself as a defence mechanism from these toxins. A cell in protection mode becomes closed to needed nutrients and vulnerable to disease and dysfunction potentially leading to a drop in oxygen levels in the cell that has been proven to be a factor in the cause of cancer.

Whilst it is very difficult to control the amounts of toxins that our bodies our exposed to on a daily basis from the food that we eat, the air that we breath and the water that we drink, we can do something amount removing these toxins from our body. Using an effective detox system that can remove the toxin accumulation from our body and any new toxins that we are exposed to on a daily basis is critical for maintaining the good health and well being of our precious body.

About The Author – Dr Edward Kachab
 

Dr Edward Kachab has over 18 years experience in research and development in the pharmaceutical and the diagnostic industries in both academic and commercial organisations and has developed an outstanding record of innovation and excellence. 

He obtained his PhD in 1992 from the Victorian College of Pharmacy where he developed novel methodologies for monitoring toxic drug residues in farm animals bound for human consumption.

Dr Kachab’s post-doctoral training was at the Howard Florey Institute where he spent 5 years working on the targeted delivery of pharmaceutical compounds. In 1998 he joined a biotechnology company in Brisbane where he led the Company’s efforts on numerous technology developments including the development of a point-of-care assay that could diagnose for multiple diseases at once.

In 2004 Dr Kachab set up a Technology Division within the Company and presently heads its R&D activities where he is pioneering the development of a novel diagnostic assay they could potentially step-change the diagnosis of disease.

Dr Kachab is responsible for developing and managing the Company’s intellectual property portfolio. Most recently Dr Kachab was successful in obtaining a $3.5 million research grant to support his research efforts. He is a member of the American Chemical Society and a Conjoint Senior Lecturer at the University of Queensland.
