The body needs no help, just no interference.
Our bodies are incredibly intelligent. Without our conscious awareness, our liver, kidneys, skin and lymph system is working to detoxify and cleanse our bodies of foreign invaders, including toxins. When chemical injury occurs to the cell, the cell DNA becomes damaged. The cell will respond in three ways:
- Cell repairs DNA or
- The DNA will change or
- The cell dies

From improperly filtered water to heavy metals coming from baked goods, this updated list of "toxins" might surprise you
CAFO's
Two of the primary water polluters are large-scale industrial farms and confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs)
Unintended By Products
Mercury, water fluoridation (fluoride and arsenic), pharmaceutical drugs flushed down the drain
Old Pipes
Most of the drinking water infrastructure across the nation is “nearing the end of its useful life" that contain lead, copper, and harmful bacteria
GMO's
Genetically modified (GM) corn, soybeans and cotton have not been thoroughly studied for long-term health complications. Over half of EU countries have opted out of GMOs while the US has chosen not regulate it's use.
Pesticides
Pesticides may cause acute and delayed health effects in people who are exposed. Pesticide exposure can cause a variety of adverse health effects, ranging from simple irritation of the skin and eyes to more severe effects such as affecting the nervous system, mimicking hormones causing reproductive problems, and also causing cancer.
Grain-Fed Beef
Grain-fed beef can cause acidity in the body while also providing less cancer-fighting conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs). Cattle do not naturally feed on grain. Farmers feed cows grain in order to fatten them quickly while also saving on costs. Grain-fed meat has been linked with heart disease and cancer.
The EPA estimates that our indoor air is 5-7 times more toxic than our outdoor air and in new construction, 100 times more.
Beware of "Foaming Agents"
Diethanolamine (DEA) has been shown to contribute to cancer in animal studies. It is found in over 600 personal care products in the US including soaps, lotions, bubble baths and dishwashing detergents (1)
Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) has been shown to cause serious health problems such as kidney damage, liver abnormalities, immune system compromise and cancer. SLS is a common product found in soaps, shampoos and toothpastes (2)

Heavy Metals
Heavy metals, like arsenic, lead, mercury, and others, are all around us. They’re in common medications and vaccinations, in the water we drink, and in the products we use every day.
Not Studied Together
Several studies have shown that toxic metals exposure causes long term health problems in human populations. Although the acute and chronic effects are known for some metals, little is known about the health impact of mixtures of toxic elements.
Aluminum
Aluminium increases estrogen-related gene expression in human breast cancer cells. Aluminium is associated with altered function of the blood–brain barrier and has been associated with poor memory, insomnia, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, depression, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, or other symptoms upon contact with products containing aluminum
Common Sources of Aluminum
Baby formulas, baked goods and processed foods, antiperspirants, over-the-counter and prescription antacids, vaccinations, aluminum pots and pans
4 Billion Drugs Consumed by Americans per year
"Most drugs are eliminated from the body through the kidneys and liver, but starting around the fourth decade we start accumulating fat and lose muscle mass, accompanied by a progressive decline in the ability of our kidneys and liver to process and clear medications. All of this makes us more prone to drug toxicity"
-Mukaila A. Raji, M.D., chief of geriatric medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston
ELECTRO-MAGNETIC FREQUENCIES
While EMF's are not technically a "toxin", cellphones, microwaves, Wi-Fi routers, computers, and other appliances send out a stream of invisible energy waves that many experts warn have harmful effects.. The World Health Organization says that EMFs are “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” (1)
Researchers also found that people exposed to high levels of EMF for years at a time showed an increased risk of leukemia in adults (2)
