Detoxing from chemicals and heavy metals

What can we do to help to mitigate the increasingly dire quantities of toxic chemicals and radiation we are exposed to daily?

Finding first-line of defense hasn’t been so easy. I have been talking with and interviewing scientists, herbalists, functional practitioners, non profit organizations, listening to experts on symposiums about this topic. I have gathered all the wisdom and organized it in steps that is easy to understand and practical to follow.

Having been exposed to the smoke and ashes from the Woolsey fires last year, I have come to appreciate the importance of clean air, water and supplements. Even as the fires have subsided and the “dust” has settled, toxic chemicals (in micro particles that is odorless, colorless and tasteless) quietly continue to fill homes, apartments and businesses with carcinogens through air, water and food that may cause respiratory problems such as asthma, heart disease to other autoimmune disorders and even cancer. Some have reported sudden onset of seizures from the chemicals that cross the blood brain barrier.

Smoke inhalation effects from the fires lasts 3 months after acute exposure!

Additionally, in a day and age where radioisotopes from nuclear weapons testing, routine releases from the nuclear, fracking and coal-fired power industries, and more recently, global fallout from Chernobyl and Fukushima and Santa Suzana Field Labs meltdowns, are increasingly accumulating in the environment, food chain, and our bodies, reducing radiotoxicity and/or enhancing detoxification mechanisms should be a universal concern. Add in the unavoidable onslaught of medical, cell phone and wifi technology, air travel associated radiation exposure, and you can virtually guarantee your body burden of radiation exposure is significant and represents a serious health risk.

Then there is the micro particles in and outside your home. The ultra fine particles float around (odorless and invisible) like a stealth bomber….traveling and effecting people hundreds of miles away.

Here are the types of contaminants that could be in your house especially after a fire:

Formaldehyde from paint, bookshelves, cabinets, beds, plastics, cosmetics, fabrics, pillows and drapes
VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, from paint, pesticides, building and hobby materials, cleaners and cabinetry
Lead from old paint (simply opening an old painted window can release it into your air)
Airborne bacteria and viruses from humans, pets, moist surfaces and ventilation systems
Flame-retardant chemicals from furniture, carpeting and mattresses
Fragrances and other chemicals from candles and cleaning and laundry supplies
Mold, mildew and other pollutants from faulty plumbing and leaky foundations and roofs
Dander and allergens from pets and other animals
Tobacco smoke, including second- and third-hand smoke
Compounds from cooking. Roasting or frying food creates organic compound byproducts and without proper ventilation, Korean researchers have found the concentration of these dust particles can reach levels 25 times higher than what’s considered “very unhealthy!”

Invest in your health. Protect your health. Our bodies are amazing healing machines. In order for it to do what is divinely designed to do, we must do 3 things:

Put out the fire (pun intended)
Stop the fuel that feeds the fire
Nourish the body to heal from the fires

The more proactive you are about taking the above steps, the faster the healing process.

Although there are a ton of “second line of defense” solutions (mostly in form of food) on the internet, it leaves one with lingering questions such as amount and duration for effectiveness.

After and during fires, first-line-of-defense solution and remediation is required. Finding first-line of defense hasn’t been so easy. I have been talking with and interviewing scientists, herbalists, functional practitioners, non profit organizations, listening to experts on symposiums about this topic.

I have gathered all the wisdom and organized it in steps that is easy to understand and practical to follow.

In my pursuit to give love to my community, I’d like to share the practical, natural and effective solutions with you.

I’m doing it selfishly because I can’t stand my brothers and sisters suffering. What is the point of living vibrantly not to party with the ones you love.

First Lines of Defense

AIR

Create space that give you pure clean air.

Here is what I found:

I knew I needed a system that could capture not just big particles but micro particles and would be cost efficient.
HEPA standard is considered the gold standard.
HEPA filters cost between $250-$300/unit
HEPA filters capture bigger particles AND
HEPA filters typically covers 250 square feet
One would have to purchase 10 of them to effectively cover 2600 square food space.

Because of my accounting background and being a systems person, it was important to find the most cost effective and efficient system that works in a way that is meaningful.

It is important for me to do it the right way so that I can invest in my future and my health and enjoy a good life.

I found the most cost effective and efficient system is tested and verified for efficient performance higher than HEPA standards which is is believed to be gold standard.

Technology used by NASA and among cutting edge hospitals.

It is an FDA class II medical device.

Captures and traps 99.99% of ultrafine particles and microorganisms down to the size of 0.007 micron passing through the system (compared to HEPA standards which is .03 microns). See images below to see how capturing particle size matters.

Here is impact a particulate size has on one’s health

Do it the right way. Save yourself the time and agony of chasing after your health down the road. Cutting corners not only is NOT cost effective. It will cost in the form of your health.

Water

As modern world chemicals in air settle down to earth, so will particulate matters: into our soil (effecting quality of our food). There is more concern if you have recently been effected by natural disasters like the Woolsey fires. Just as the “dust” has settled, so have particulate matters.

Woolsey fires, a world class disaster is going to have a far reaching impact as the toxins will be not only be traveling long distances, it is seeping to our underground water system ending up in our oceans effecting the quality of our drinking and bathing water and wildlife.

It is imperative to avoid toxic water, detox and hydrate using pure clean water.

Not all water is equally hydrating. Not all source of water are safe to drink. The right kind of filtered water is extremely hydrating.

Ensuring a safe and pure supply of drinking water for your family should be at the very top of your list.

Since we wouldn’t survive for more than 3 days without this precious resource and every living cell in the body needs it to keep functioning, wouldn’t it be important to consume the right kind and purest form of water? Just like many other products, there is a lot of confusing information around water and what labels claim. An astonishing 2,100 chemical compounds have been found in U.S drinking water, yet the EPA has established enforceable safety standards for only 87. The CDC estimates that up to 33-million cases of gastrointestinal illness associated with public drinking water systems occur in the U.S annually. This prompts many people to use a filter or buy bottled water.

Unfortunately, most water filtration systems gradually lose their effectiveness without providing any warning. And bottled water has frequently been found to contain contaminants, despite the perceived safety and the ridiculous costs.

A simple filter won’t do. Filters can reduce some chemicals that cause disagreeable taste and odor, like chlorine, but they don’t stop other common contaminants like arsenic, copper, fluoride, lead, or viruses and bacteria. Filters can sometimes do more harm than good by becoming a breeding ground for dangerous bacteria. Even worse, if they are not changed often enough, filters can actually release contaminants back into your water.

Food

I am going to share with you foundational dishes that I highly recommend you incorporate into your daily life making it a lifestyle.

Bone Broth

I hope you make and consume broth on a daily basis. You could drink it straight, have it as a soup or use it to prepare other dishes. it is a great source for minerals which is so essential for overall health.

Benefits:

Bone broth significantly contributes to the support of overall joint health and aids in recovery. Bone broth has a high protein content. It is rich in collagen and gelatin, as well as many other minerals, amino acids, and compounds, such as proline, glycine, glycosaminoglycan, glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate. These elements all play a vital role in helping to build and maintain strong bones and connective tissues (ligaments and tendons).
Bone broth (not the 2 hour product) is high in Glutamine content. Glutamine is one of 20 naturally occurring amino acids in dietary protein. Glutamine helps with food allergies. It improves gastrointestinal health (irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, leaky gut, ulcers). Glutamine helps improve IBS and diarrhea by balancing mucus production, which results in healthy bowel movements. It helps create enzymes to digest properly, speed up metabolism, repair scar tissues, promotes muscle growth, and repair cellular damage. It boosts brain health acting as a precursor to the neurotranmitter glutamate in your brain.
Bone broth helps restore and support healthy digestive function. Bone broth has a high gelatin content which naturally lines the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In addition to strengthening the gut lining, bone broth has been shown to assist individuals with food allergies and to promote the growth of good bacteria (probiotics) in the digestive tract.
Bone broth is rich in collagen and gelatin, which support skin, hair, and nail health. Bone broth can help keep skin smooth, firm, and reduce wrinkles. It can also help to strengthen hair and nails and to speed their growth.
Bone broth contains highly absorbable forms of minerals and electrolytes, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and sulfur, which support healthy circulation, bone density, nerve function, heart health, digestive health, and cellular health. Bone broth also helps to support a healthy metabolism, assist in the body’s natural detoxification efforts, and to boost the immune system.

Store-Bought Bone and Vegetable Broth

If you are pressed with time or wish to keep extra stock for last minute reasons, you may purchase your bone broth from one of the only trust source that I recommend. Go to this link* to find out more. They use organic produce and meat. Even their water is pure. I go to them when I am pressed with time. They deliver.

Miso

95% of us collectively are depleted in minerals. It is hard to get our minerals from our daily diets especially since our soils have become so depleted of important nutrients and minerals due to years of conventional farming practices. Eating organically isn’t enough. We must incorporate minerals (enough of them) on a daily basis from safe whole food sources.

Here is a video tutorial I put together just for you to make making Miso easier for you. It was a last minute production. I just want to show you how easy it is to make.

Please incorporate that into your life if not on a daily basis then perhaps 2 or 3 times a week.

This is fundamental. So much of your metablism depends on minerals….and the right kind and the right amount of balance. Read more about the need for minerals within the recipe post. Check out the recipe HERE.
