Not convinced your toxic? Or maybe, unlike the typical American, you've always been meticulous with your health. Let's examine for a moment the case of Elizabeth Salter-Green. The London Mirror reported her shocked reaction in 2001 when she agreed to be tested for chemical build-up in her body. You see, Elizabeth was quite careful about what she exposed herself to. She exercised every day, drank a lot of water, ate organic food, didn't dry clean her clothes, didn't store her food in plastic containers. She was convinced that she had no concerns regarding toxins. Her test results showed otherwise. She carried no less than 39 pollutants in her body. Several of them were well in excess of average levels. She even carried chemicals that have been banned from production.
Dr. Ni continues to inform us in his article "Toxins and Your Health," "We live in a chemical soup. We breathe toxic air; we drink and eat poisoned water and food stuff. How do we ever expect the incidence of cancer, chronic fatigue, arthritis, asthma and other auto-immune disorders to improve when our living conditions are becoming ever more toxic!"
Biotherapy, an alternative medicine clinic located in the San Francisco Bay Area advises on its website that acupuncture is an important part of any body cleansing program. Treatments provided by this ancient medicine are intended to address all the unpleasant side effects of our modern lifestyles and environments. As we experience our 3rd and 4th decades it seems to be getting more important than ever to maintain our health well into the future rather than rely on the invincibility of our youth.
