The Average Human Has 400 Toxic Chemicals in His Body

And They Come from Things We Come in Contact with Every Day

The average adult human carries around in his body more than 400 toxic chemicals that he shouldn't have The chemicals include heavy metals, cleaning materials found around your house, and pollution from cars and factories. They even include cancer-causing dioxin. And don't believe all that hype about herbal cleansing systems that will purify your body.

The only way to remove toxins from your body is through a process called chelation, and that has to be done in a hospital. You can't get rid of them by having a chiropractic adjustment or with those foot pads either. They turn your feet dark by making you sweat, that's all. The only thing that you can do is try to avoid the chemicals in the first place. One simple step that you can take is not to use commercial cleaning products around your house. Use organic, natural based products instead.

According to CNN, the age group in which the "chemical burden" has the most effect is in infants and children. They carry on average, more than 200 toxins in their bodies and all at such an early age.

According to the CDC, "among the most headline-grabbing results was that many women of childbearing age had levels of mercury in their blood at levels that may cause brain damage to their unborn children. (The most common way women are exposed to mercury is through eating contaminated fish.)"

Some other common sources of contamination is the mercury from fish as well as the mercury from the old tooth fillings. A lot of the lead came from peeling paint in older homes and from the gasoline emmissions when gasoline contained large mounts of lead.

A whole town was contaminated by waste collector Russel Bliss when he sprayed oil on the roads in Times Beach, Missouri. The whole town had to be destroyed and plowed over and replaced by a state park. Bliss was brought up on charges, but he died shortly thereafter from cancer which is thought to have been caused by exposure to the chemical.
