Toxins & the Impact on the Mental & Physical Health of Children, Teens & Adults

How Our Bodies & Minds are Affected by Toxins

Toxins arguably are a contributing factor associated with most disease and illhealth. What’s more, depending on our stage of life, the impacts can be quite different.

Infants and children have growing bodies, and toxins block the ability of a child to properly absorb nutrients.  Moreover, they negatively impact the developmental processes. It’s always something I investigate with cases of Austism and ADHD, as well as other issues.

Here are some typical symptoms I often see related to toxicity:

😧 Fluctuations with mood & behavioural problems

😡 Frustration, temper & rage issues

🙄 Anxiety & OCD

🤨 Tics

🎒 Learning problems

🗣️ Speech delay

🧠 Inability to concentrate

🥱 Slugishness & fatigue

💤 Sleep problems

🥖 Food sensitivities

🖐️ Skin irritations

🍎 Gut imbalances

Signs of toxicity to look out for in teenagers include:

🥱 Lack of energy

🧠 Foggy thinking / poor concentration

☹️ Moodiness

😐 Non-social and social issues

🤒 Immune imbalances

😧 Frustration, temper & rage issues

🙄 Anxiety & OCD

🤨 Tics

🎒 Learning problems

💤 Sleep problems

🥖 Food sensitivities

🖐️ Skin irritations

🍎 Gut imbalances

Toxins contribute to daily struggles and, for those who are not detoxing well, it can take a toll.  Typical symptoms I see include the following:

😧 Feeling overhwelmed

🤔 Forgetful

🥱 Loss of vitality

💤 Sleep problems

🥖 Food sensitivities

🧠 Brain fog

😡 Temper & rage issues

🙄 Anxiety & OCD

🖐️ Skin irritations

🤨 Concentration problems

🍎 Gut imbalances

♀️ Menstrual problems

😑 Lack of motivation

🙃 Endocrine imbalance

How Do Toxins Get Into the Body?

We live in an increasingly toxic world. What’s more, the purifying, healing resources our forebearers enjoyed now can pose real problems. This includes the air we breath, the water we consume and the food we eat. Generally speaking, the majority of toxins in our body are absorbed through our food and drinks.

Food

Organic, in season whole foods.

Processed foods, foods exposed to antibiotics & pesticides, seed oils, foods susceptible to mold, artificial sweeteners, food colouring, additives & preservatives, packaged foods.

Water

Mineral water from glass bottles, reverse osmosis filtered water.

Water in plastic bottles, tap water.

Chemicals

Organic food, natural products.

Pesticides, herbicides, flame retardants, air fresheners, fertilisers, insecticides, commercial detergents, PFAS, parabens, unnatural deodorants.

Parasites

Regularly deworm pets, cook meat & fish thoroughly, wash fruits & veg, drink clean water, maintain good levels of hygiene.

Under cooked meats, cold meat cuts, smoked & raw fish.

EMF

Use wired connections instead of Wifi, if you do use Wifi turn it off at night. Keep electronic devices at a distance when you can, & put mobile phones into airplane mode when not in use. Mitigate potential side effects with proper nutrition, adequate sleep, and stress management, consider blocking devices.

Don’t carry a mobile phone on your person, avoid microwaves.

Mold

Check your home or office for mold or water damage. It is vital to remove the mold professionally rather than cleaning it. It is recommended to remove the building materials the mold is on, along with the mold. ERMI tests can be used to detect airborne mold spores & help see if there is any hidden mold.

Scrub or clean mold, or keep things that have been in a moldy environment that haven’t been cleaned professionally or with EC3 liquid.

Amalgams

Consult with a holistic or biological dentist if you have fillings or need fillings.

Have dentistry work done without a holistic or biological dentist being involved.

Medicines

Be aware of the side effects and potential issues around pharmaceuticals.

Take unneccesary medications.

How Do You Know if Toxins Are Affecting You?

Often by talking to someone about their symptoms I will have a good idea if there is a toxicity issue and what type of issue that could be.

Tests are sometimes recommended, typically these can include:

🧬 MYCOTOXIN TEST

To measure and isolate the type of molds that may have build up in the body.

🧪 ORGANIC ACIDS TEST

Intestinal microbial overgrowth markers evaluate for candida activity, clostridia bacteria toxins, potential mold exposure, and imbalance in the gut microflora.

🦠 STOOL MAP

To measure and detect parasites and bacterial overgrowth.

🔬 HAIR MINERAL & TOXIC METALS TEST

For identifying heavy metal toxicity and other imbalances in the body.

How to Detoxify Toxins

Eliminating toxins from the body is a four step process:

1️⃣ OPEN DETOX PATHWAYS

This is essential so the body does not simply recirculate the dislodged toxins. Bowels, liver, urinary tract, skin – are all organs that need to be prepared for a detox. For many people their genetic makeup plays a role in reducing their ability to detoxify efficiently, and this is something that can also be helped.

2️⃣ DETOXIFY

In this stage we give the body the tools it needs to eliminate the toxins – each specific toxin is matched with a detoxifying agent. Importantly, this stage is always done on a gradient, with the goal being to gently and steadily help the body to eliminate the toxins. We do this with herbs, homeopathy and minerals.

2️⃣ RESTORE GUT MICROBIOME

This stage is to strengthen the immune system and build resilience.

4️⃣ REPAIR

This stage will be well underway already, but we may need to heal the lining of the gut and rebalance fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
