There are a lot of differing opinions on chemicals, what levels of exposure are acceptable, if the hype is real, etc. I won’t get into that discussion, but for those of us with compromised immune systems, just about anything can become our enemy – even seemingly harmless things to healthy people.
Each time my chemical toxin labs have been run, it’s always interesting to see what “pops out” of the biofilm. If you look closely and pay attention, doc says you can actually track what time in life the biofilm was created and figure out where the toxin exposure came from. Here is some of what I’ve figured out so far:
Petroleum – this one took a few weeks to figure out. But after lots of research, one of the largest petroleum toxin carriers is well water! When we moved to Maine we thought the well water was such a positive attribute to living in the woods….whoops!
- Initial labs 08/23/18
- Two weeks of IV Detox 09/22/18
- One week of mitochondria detox 10/05/18 – pulled a lot out of biofilm!
- Two days of high dose vitamin C and glutathione – its dropping!
- Increased glutathione – 10/22/18 its almost gone!
City water – city water is such a hard topic. The amount of antibiotics and chemicals used to make water into drinking water blows my mind. I have also lived in several cities over the last 15 years: Portland, Austin, Barcelona and Rome, each with different levels of NAE in their water…
- Initial labs 08/23/18
- One month of biofilm busting 09/18/18 – higher concentration
- One week of mitochondria detox 10/05/18 starting to drop
- Increased glutathione for two weeks 10/22/18 to drop the toxins out – they’re GONE!
Dry cleaning toxins – This one made me laugh a bit. My doctor looked at me and asked if I worked at a dry cleaner for over a year at any point. Not that I remember 🙂 However, my junior and senior year of college I was working full time and school full time so I had all of my clothes, towels and sheets wash, dry and folded by a dry cleaning service!
- Intitial labs 08/23/18 – well within normal limits (its hiding!)
- 10/09/18 it popped out of biofilm
- 10/16/18 after one week of detox, its GONE!
Pesticides – how can you ever avoid all pesticides?? They are on our foods, in the air, on products, in our own back yards! Apparently I’ve encountered lots of chemicals that my body wasn’t able to detoxify effectively – fruit pesticides, roundup and DEET specifically are my biggest culprits.
- Initial labs 08/23/18 – a little but not too much
- A little more popped out of biofilm after high dose vitamin C 09/16/18
- Then it ALL came out! 10/05/18
- Another two weeks targeted detox – its GONE!
After two months, my labs show significant progress in several areas of chemicals! Doc asks everyone to pay attention to the toxins that show up to make sure we are not leaving clinic and going back to unhealthy living situations. As I figure out the toxins my body struggles to detoxify, I will work to make sure I take precautions at home to minimize – but I will not live in a bubble 🙂
