We're talking about another silent killer: hidden toxins.
So, these aren't just absorbed when you inhale or consume them. You also absorb them through your skin.
Did you know that research shows Americans are exposed to over 80 thousand known toxins every day? These are just known toxins!
Australia, still allows the use of dozens of pesticides that have been banned by the US, as well as parts of the EU because they're harmful to human health or cause significant environmental damage.
This includes the highly poisonous chemical paraquat, which is been linked to Parkinson's disease. And one of the world's most commonly used herbicides, atrazine, which interferes with reproduction and may cause cancer. Studies show atrazine causes gonadal underdevelopment and turns animals hermaphroditic... how delightful.
The future of your health is linked to these invisible toxins, impacting your well-being, brain function, heart, hormonal, and mental health, perhaps most concerning for fertility. Let's take a look at some numbers:
- 1 in 3 men and 1 in 4 women are now sterile
- it's been projected that we have less than 70 years of human life left on earth and that humans will be infertile by 2040 (some predict as early as the 2030s). This should be ruffling a few feathers.
- 46% of kids today have a chronic disease
- 75% of adults over 40 have been diagnosed with at least one chronic disease
- 1 in 36 kids today will be diagnosed with autism (by 2040 it's expected to be 1 in 3)
- and 1 in 3 people will get a cancer diagnosis today
Did you know that babies are now being born with an average of 287 poisons, toxins, and chemicals in them before they've even taken their first breath?! It's not outlandish to be concerned about the exposure to these unavoidable chemicals, seeing as they are passed on in the womb, and they're also in the food you eat, the water you drink, and the air you breathe.
Death and disease from exposure to chemicals is a significant global public health problem. The World Health Organisation, although uncredible in many other issues, estimates that two million lives and 53 million disability adjusted life years were lost in 2019 alone due to exposures to selected chemicals.
We used to think chemical exposure only really affected jobs like hairdressing, mining, construction, farming, etc. but these chemicals are inundating your everyday life from cookware, to skincare, to furniture, to food.
What you may not realise is that these toxins remain blocked unless provoked to be eliminated.
So, why is it important to boost your body's ability to detox?
Well, for one toxins are stored in your fat cells, making it difficult to lose weight. That's actually a protective mechanism. It's kind of brilliant that your body actually stores them away in fat cells, so they're not going to harm your organs and tissues as much as if they were floating around.
They impact your cognitive function or your brain's ability to process, affecting memory, clarity, focus, and they put a major strain on your immune system. Toxins disrupt hormones. That's why they're known as endocrine disruptors, affecting your energy, sleep and quality of life. Toxins affect your neurotransmitters (like serotonin, dopamine, etc), responsible for healthy mood and brain function.
Toxins disrupt your microbiome aka your healthy gut bacteria, further breaking down your immune system. When your body cannot take out the trash, it becomes food for parasites and pathogens, which is another huge epidemic today.
What about the current contamination crisis of PFAS? It's a group of about 10 thousand chemicals that are resistant to oil and water. PFAS are fluorinated compounds that are known as forever chemicals because they are very very slow to break down.
PFAS have been widely used since the 1940s in products like non-stick, cookware, baking paper and packaging. They're also used to make fire retardants and stain resistant fabric used in clothes and carpets.
Animals are being affected and children are significantly impacted. In the US alone, these PFAS were detected in 99% of teens and adults!
Crazy. Here in Australia, there's even a class action lawsuit against them.
These PFASs are known to disrupt thyroid hormones, they're linked to cancers, heart disease, low birth weights, kidney and liver damage, and are contaminating your environment; they're in the air, surfaces, water, and soils.
In early 2003, five, European Union countries, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden proposed banning 10,000 PFAS.
However, western governments tend to ignore (or seemingly do the opposite) of what's best for public health, historically speaking. So we'll just watch this space.
As you can see, eating organic is not going to save you from all of the chemicals surrounding your life today. They are literally everywhere (including organic pesticides)!
What's preventing you from removing these toxins?
Top of the list is mineral deficiencies that prevent your detox pathways from working properly. Certain minerals attract and bind with toxins, to take them out of your system, like tiny little vacuum cleaners sucking up impurities in their path.
Or you can think of these minerals as bouncers in a nightclub. They're kicking out unwanted elements (unruly patrons) from your body.
You may have thought that diet or exercise alone could potentially get rid of these toxins or that just taking a break from alcohol, caffeine and gluten will give your system a chance to detox properly.
Or couldn't you just fall back on an expensive juice cleanse from Orchard Street a couple times a year; that'll have you cartwheeling to work right? Honestly, i wish that's all you needed to do, but you would get far better improvements going a few steps deeper.
Without certain minerals (like those not found in a juice cleanse) toxins can't go anywhere and you spiral into a low vibe hole from a deficit of passion, pleasure, and pastry.
What if I told you there's a way to kick things into action, without the burden of restrictive, diets or fancy, cleanses and detoxes?
I'm talking about a decade of clinical work combined with nearly two years of deeper research uncovering shocking truths that you absolutely need to know.
You can harness the power of minerals to fight off damaging chemicals and heavy metals. Like little magical fairies spreading pixie dust, minerals are sprinkling detoxifying power over your cells.
That's what we're doing inside Antidote. My protocol is a simple, effective, evidence-based approach proven to fire up your cells, process toxins, and get you results not otherwise possible.
Join us inside. It's literally less than 2 minutes a day and you will be feeling up to 20 years younger simply by reducing your toxic load and boosting your mineral status.
It really is that simple...
You will not see improvements in your energy or brain function this quickly or long-term following conventional or restrictive detoxes because the main mineral in my protocol has been all but removed from medical texts and literature; it's even regulated in ways that prevent you from supplementing with a therapeutic dose! I'm not joking.
The outrage is real but you do not need to worry. You will get every piece of the puzzle inside Antidote (and you will be getting a therapeutic dose, promise).
If this is resonating--if you want to learn more or you want to jump on board, click here--you will not regret taking this next step in upgrading your life.
In the next episode of this private podcast, we are going to go deeper into nutrient deficiencies.
Meanwhile, remember that minerals are your MVPs. They are your most valuable players on your detox squad!
