Family Health; Focus on Prevention

Is Any Level of Toxicity Safe?

From even before the moment you hold your child in your arms you carefully plan and dream of all the limitless possibilities for your family; health, happiness, prosperity . . . You make careful choices to keep your family safe and healthy. But is your family's health really safe from hidden toxins?

Prevention; the Key to Family Health

Family Health Begins With Healthy Moms;

Reduce Toxins Before Baby is BornResearch shows that the average newborn has more than 200 different industrial chemicals, pollutants and pesticides in their blood. Roughly 10% of women carry mercury concentrations high enough for fetal damage. Pregnancy mobilizes fat soluble toxins such as POPs (dioxin, DDT, PCB’s, flame retardants like PBDE’s). These chemicals, present in the mother, become the body burden of the newborn child as they travel across the placenta to the fetus. Since metabolism in the fetus is immature, chemicals become sequestered in the fetal brain.

Learn About Toxins; Find Them in Your Environment- Carcinogens, cancer causing agents such as pesticides and volatile organic compounds from air, water and food.
- Chemicals and heavy metals such as lead and methylmercury are toxic to the brain & nervous system.
- Chemicals such as phthalates (plasticizers) found in toys as well as cosmetics cause abnormal development.
- Pollutants from city air are linked to chromosomal abnormalities in infants in NYC.

Monitor Sources of Mercury to Avoid Mercury Toxicity

Vaccinations- With strong evidence that mercury preservative in vaccinations (thimerosal) contributed to the increased incidence of autism in children, mercury was removed from early childhood vaccines by 2001 but is still used as a preservative in flu shots. Learn about vaccinations from the National Vaccine Information Center.

Personal Care products- Dental amalgam fillings are more than 50% mercury. Thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative is also added to some brands of mascara and other cosmetics, contact lens cleaners, eye washes, etc.

Food- The greatest source of mercury today comes from eating fish.

Environment- Mercury is also prevalent in the environment from coal burning and industrial use.

Recognize Environmental Toxic Burden in Your Family; Get the Facts- Immunotoxicity results in asthma, allergies, cancers and chronic disease
- Neurotoxicity results in cognition, memory, sensory and motor dysfunction
- Endocrine toxicity results in reproductive, libido and metabolic impairment, obesity 

The prevalence of obesity has nearly quadrupled in American children. Overweight children develop a risk of hypertension, gall bladder disease, and some cancers. Toxins such as phthalates and Bisphenol A act as endocrine disruptors which contribute to the obesity epidemic, ADHD, cancer and reproductive issues.

Assess Family Health for Prevention

Regular assessments for toxicity and nutritional needs help your family's health stay on track. Non-invasive and very accurate, use bio-survey assessments to map a plan for wellness.
