Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Are You Toxic? Take the Quiz and Find OutAdapted from Total Renewal: 7 Key Steps to Resilience, Vitality & Long-Term Health, by Lipman, M.D. ( Tarcher, Putnam, 2003). Simple Solution Toxicity is one of the biggest challenges to being healthy. We live in a polluted world and no longer have the luxury of considering personal health as separate from environmental health. Undeniably, people and nature are connected. Everyone needs clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and nutritious food to eat. On a weighted scale of burdens, toxicity is a ton of bricks. It has the potential to undermine the balance of every system in the body. Answer these questions to determine your level of toxicity: 1. Are you sensitive to chemicals, car fumes, odors, perfumes, or fragrances? 2. Are you becoming increasingly sensitive to caffeine, alcohol, or medications? 3. Do you have bad reactions to monosodium glutamate (MSG); foods containing sulfites, such as wine and dried fruit; salad bar food; beverages that contain caffeine; or diet sodas? 4. Do you suffer from fibromayalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer, or an autoimmune disease? 5. Do you have acne, eczema, hives, or unexplained itching? 6. Do you suffer from fatigue, lethargy, joint pains, muscle aches, or weakness? 7. Are you subject to irritability, mood swings, anxiety, depression, poor concentration, a “spacey” feeling, or restlessness? 8. Do you get headaches, a stuffy nose, frequent sinus infections, or allergies? 9. Do you suffer from nausea, bad breath, foul-smelling stools, a bloated feeling, or intolerance to fatty or starchy foods? 10. Do you keep getting sick? 11. Do you drink more than two alcoholic beverages a day? 12. Do you ever use over-the-counter, prescription, or recreational drugs on a regular basis? Whether or not you answered yes to any of the above questions, I would suggest that you try to reduce your exposure to toxins. If you answered yes to three or more of the questions, the recommendations in this chapter (of the book referenced, above) are very important for you because you may be displaying signs of toxicity. You definitely need to decrease your burdens. A good cleanse is in order. Start with water or juice fasts. Suzi What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hi ladies, I thought that you might find this information from Bessie Jo Tillman interesting. JanineNote: forwarded message attached. Be Wise-Health Wise From Dr. Bessie Jo Tillman, MD www.dr-jo-md.com Dear Janine, Are your cells toxic? Do you live on the earth? Then you're most likely toxic. As an earth being you breathe, eat and drink toxins daily. We live in a toxic soup. Chelation removes the toxic metals that poison your cells. Then the cells more readily excrete the toxic abnormal chemicals accumulated from our chemically polluted world. We could end this newsletter right here. But you most likely want some proof that your body is toxic. I commend you for that. Knowing that your body really is toxic will motivate you to get that poison out of your body. Do you want to continue living in a toxic waste dump? Thanks for your interest in finding out if you are toxic and need to chelate. So many of you responded saying you wanted this information. So here it is in this edition of Be Wise-Health Wise. Three ways to find out if you are toxic and then follow your progress in detox. 1. Urine testing Collect urine for the specified time on the test. Mail it to the lab for analysis 2. Stool testing (fecal metal test) Collect your bowel movement by the specified method on the test. Mail it to the lab for analysis. 3. Hair Test Collect your hair as directed on the hair analysis kit. Mail it to the lab for analysis. Be aware. You most likely will not see any toxic metals in your urine, stool or hair on the first analysis. Your body tucks toxins deep in the tissues to keep them from killing your vital organs. But wherever they're stashed in your tissues, they're poisoning the area around them. So, to prove you have these toxic stores, you have to do something to mobilize the toxins. That's where EDTA comes in. It grabs the toxic metals, holds onto them and dumps them into the bowel movement, urine and hair. Once you've mobilized the toxic metals, the lab can measure the levels in your stool, urine and hair. For urine and stool tests, collect the specimens after using EDTA in the form of Detoxamin one rectal suppository every other night for 4 nights. Mail the specimens to the lab. You will receive your report back in the mail. Some people like to have their stool and urine tested before using the rectal suppository as a baseline test. That's a good idea if you can afford it. Most likely the before test will not show any toxins. Urine and stool testing for heavy metals gives you right now, in the moment results of what you're body is excreting. Hair analysis gives you a historical report of what your body has thrown away into the hair over the previous 3 months. I recommend sending a hair sample in for testing before starting to use Detoxamin as your baseline control test. Then collect a hair analysis every 3 months. You can obtain the kits for testing your urine, stool and hair from Detoxamin. Once you're on the home page, click on the Diagnostic Testing link and order your kits. Get started right now. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll feel renewed. Order a hair analysis test kit to check the baseline minerals and toxic metals in your hair before you start using Detoxamin. Order a urine or fecal metal test kit. Then collect the stool or urine specimen according to the directions in the kit after using 3 or 4 suppositories (insert one suppository in rectum every other night for total of 3-4 suppositories. Repeat tests: Hair - every three months Fecal metal or urine test - once per month for first 3 months, then once every 3 months. In my office we used the urine test to determine how much toxic metal was mobilized and dumped out of the body after chelation with EDTA. You may want to follow mainly the urine test if the urine specimen collection is easier for you than collecting the bowel movement for the fecal metal test. If you can afford to do both the urine and fecal test, that's great. If not, just pick one of them and stick with it when you retest. Avoid falling in the trap of thinking you can't afford this testing and use of EDTA. Really, you need to work it into your budget. In the long run it will save you money (fewer doctor and other medical bills, time lost from work or fun). It will also save you from lots of pain and suffering. Disease Is Optional - The Choice Is Yours.
