“Detoxify or Die”

Pesticides: Paralyzers of the Immune System. Most folks have hazy concept of what the immune system involves because we cannot see it, we cannot operate on it or cut out or transplant it. We also cannot live without it. It’s our police force that protects from invading bugs, cancers cells and toxins. If it fails we have infection.
All deseases have aspects of immune disfunction. Further more, half of the immune system for the entire body lies inside the gut lining, which is why gut health is so important to recovery from anything.
Research from the Harvard School of Public Health have shown us how many pesticides can mimic every single immune system malady we can think of (Repetto). Even minute damage then leads to auto-immune deseases, leukemias and other forms of cancers, increased infections, strange kidney deseas, allergies, growth retardation, learning disability, headaches, fibromyalgia, irratable bowel, astma and more. No wonder childhood cancer has finally become the top cause of death by desease.
Because of their extremely dangerous persistance in the environment, many pesticides do not “go away” or deteriate, but last a lifetime, as DDT studies show. Because of their strong ability to cause cancer, several pesticides have been banned after being used recklessly for decades. But that does not mean that we have stopped using them. In fact, we sell them to Third World countries who often use them to excess and I have read that peasant farmers, cannot read English labels, much less know know enough chemistry to understabd their dangers, and have a far less afluent diet and medical system. They in turn sell us their produce, making a circle of poison complete.
DDT came on the sceen in 1943. By 1973 DDT had been used or 30 years. Yet the World Health Organisation (WHO) report concluded that its benefits were far greater than its risks.
It takes 25 years before damaging health effects were realized. By then it was too late. There are no longer any living organisms, enimals in the wild or humans, free of DDT. In fact, if we stoped ingesting and inhailing it today, it would take 20 years for the levels of DDT to dissipate from our bodies.
DDT is now recognized as contibuting to pancreatic cancers, breast cancers, liver, lang and many more. As well as DDT is capable of damaging any hormonal function. No wonder thyroid desease, depression, impotence, and fatique are so rampant.
DDT is one minute example. Pesticides residues are not only found in every ocean of the world, every sea, and even in a breast milk of Indian women near Arctic Circle.
Cadmium Curse: You, like many people, may never even have heard of cadmium, other then use in batteries. But it is one of the many heavy metals that contominate our air, food, and water. You cannot escape it. And once in the body, cadmium damages and mimics the chemistry of diseases.
How do we stockpile cadmium in our bodies?
It’s unavoidable. Just lok at the many sources of cadmium toxicity:
food is the most important source, as many commercial foods are grown on cadmium-rich sewage slidge which is sold as a comercial furtilizer
shelfish and bottom feeding fish concentrate industrial contamination from waterways
much of the seafood for the Atlantic Coast comes from one of the most polluted waters, the Chesapeake Bay, one of the world’s largest naval shipyards containing high amounts of cadmium and PCBs from barnacle-proving bottom paints.
the greatest source: burning fuels like oil, and industrual exhaust, municipal incinerators of plastics and batteries,coal, furnaces for electricity, etc.
drinking water is progressively more contaminated while softened water (from your water softener) and acidic water (from chlorine and other chemicals) hold even more cadmium.
And many occupations and exposures magnify the posibility of cadmium toxicity: auto mechanics, glass makers, jewelers, lithographers, graders, sculptors, textile printers, painters and those who work with solder, welding, plating, ceramics and pottery (or eating and drinking from unglazed pottery), electric instruments, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, pigments, plastics, dental amalgams, and those wearing porcelain dental crowns, and more. In essence, yo cannot find a person without exxcessive cadmium exposure (U.S.Department of Health & Human Services, 1990.
Consider these facts about cadmium:
The average daily cadmium intake is 30 mcg, but the body has no way of getting rid of it. This number is just an average, for lots of people have more. For example, smoking on tiny cigarette provides 2 mcg. of cadmium, with the pack more then doubling the av daily body burden.
The presence of cadmium and other heavy metals stimulate the body’s formation of heavy metal binding proteins, hi concentrates cadmium 3000 fold in the body.
The half-life of cadmium in the body (time it takes to get rid of half of its cadmium) is 10-30 years.
It takes 20-50 years to stockpile enough to cause hypertention, osteoporosis, painful artritis or to damage an organ or the mechanism for cholesterol control, or produce lung or any other kind of cancer.
Clearly you are beginning to appreciate how enioronmental polutants stockpile over lifetime in the body to eventually manifest in common symphtoms that cadmium causes:
hypertension, angina, high cholesterol, cancer, osteporosis, bizarre neurologic syndromes, hormone deficiencies, dipression, puzzling pain syndromes, migraines, ringing in the ears, arthritis etc.
Other interesting book by Dr. Sherry A.Rogers “Dipression is cures at last.”. In a nutshel it sais: It show that it bordrs on malpractice to treat depression as a prozac deficiency, to drug cardiology patients, or any other medical/psychiatric problems without first ruling out proven causes.’
With over 700 pages and 1,000 complete referencs, it covers the invironmental, nutritional and metabolic causes of all disease.
Notes :
Detoxify or Die book ends up with References ( page 354-402) that validate every statement which is presented in this book.
I am grateful to my friend who actually wasn’t willing to do the cleansing and replanishing program until he read this book. His comment was: The first part of this book presents the facts, but the second part talks about different approaches to cleansing different organs. He said that it made him feel hopeless, because of the approaches to the issue were tidiouse, and expensive. He immediately appreciated how Isagenix approach addresses it in a well thought out WHOLE BODY ORGANS CLEANSE plus ADDING ALL MINERALS AND ESSENTUALS which are now missing in our foods. He said, it’s easy, inexpensive (it replaces some meals) and effective. One can simply adopt to one or two meal replacements daily, and one day a week cleanse on a regluar basis. That is when a person chooses to take control of maintainig better health for themselves.
Many times I simply ask person to listen couple of highlighted statements.
After that You may want to ask a person you speak with: Are they open to learn how Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing addresses this otherwise devastating reality?
If they are open, You show to them 30 Day Program.
Please be clear, that Isagenix Programs are not Medical Products. They are organic, botanical nutriens which we are missing from foods now. In other words, by giving to our body a chance to get rid of polutants and adding more nutritional sibstance, we will help our bodies to do it’s own healing.
