Have you ever been ill, gone to your Doctor and have left just as clueless as you went in? I know I have and it is extremely frustrating! This is why I want each one of you out there to be an informed patient the next time you visit your Physician. There are many environmental toxins in our county, in our workplace and in our homes that we just don't know about and all I want is for people to be able to make informed decisions about their health.
Environmental toxins can be harmful for your immune, endocrine and neurological sytems and here are some of the symptoms of environmental overload:
Immune system: allergies, asthma, chemical sensitivity and autoimmunity
Endocrine system: hypothyroid, infertility
Nervous system: mood, memory, brain fog, headaches and balance
There are too many possible reasons for these symptoms to list here which is why it is so hard to find the root cause of the problem but I will list as many as possible to get you thinking about your surroundings. Here are some:
- Workplace- heating / ventilation system (check to see if there have been any problems or open work orders)
- Residence- heating / ventilation, furnace filters, remodeling (new furniture, new carpeting, anything new that is brought into your home), chemicals used in the home, mold, mildew
- Hobbies- your hobbies or the hobbies of each family member in the home (model airplanes,etc.)
- Local agriculture- pesticides, airbourne chemicals
- School- asbestos, lead
- Dry cleaning, household cleaners, humidifiers, and so much more

The reason for this post is not to scare the bejeezes out of you but to inform and educate you. We cannot count on manufacturers of products to inform us of the hazardous effects of their products, therefore we as consumers and unfortunately patients need to protect ourselves and our families and friends from the toxins in our everyday life. If you believe you suffer from a toxic overload due to your symptoms and would like a consultation and testing specifically for toxicity visit my website

When it comes to your health, try to think outside the box and create a timeline of when the symptoms began - where did you live, work at the time. It will help figure out what, when, where and how this began. Be informed and be well.
