Time for a Detox?

Internal Organs

Here is a link to an ad for an 8 ingredient (3 of them additives) capsule for detoxing.

The ad contains a lot of interesting data:

A comprehensive survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control found 148 different chemicals in the blood and urine samples of 2,400 Americans. More than a quarter of all the samples contained benzo(a)pryene, a toxin found in automobile exhaust fumes. And nine out of ten samples contained a mixture of toxic pesticides.

National Geographic Magazine paid nearly $15,000 to test one of their reporters for the presence of 320 different chemicals as part of an undercover investigation into environmental toxins. They discovered that the reporter’s level of one flame retardant chemical was so high it would have been considered alarming, even if the reporter had worked in a plant that manufactured the chemical!

A Mount Sinai School of Medicine study found a total of 167 different chemicals in the blood and urine samples of volunteers. That’s an average of 91 toxins each. They found lead, dioxins, PCBs, phthalate DEHP, as well as compounds that have been banned for more than a quarter century. Bottom line: every single person in every study was contaminated.

If you’re an average American between the ages of 58 and 92, new research shows your body is polluted with 700 synthetic chemicals as well as heavy metals like mercury, lead and arsenic…

As your body fills up with these toxins, you may begin to suffer from stubborn health concerns like aching joints, fatigue, and memory lapses. High levels of these toxins are associated with a long list of serious health conditions. That’s why it’s critical that you reduce your “body burden” of these toxins as soon as possible…

The product promoted contains salt, potassium, alginate and modified citrus pectin. It is $40 US (plus post and handling) for a one month supply.

By comparison, my NutriBlast Detox Blend (https://www.healthelicious.com.au/Nutri-Blast-Detox-Blend.html) contains over 50 ingredients. And if you have read my newsletters or browsed my web site you’ll recall that nature is very synergistic. A lot of ingredients have a multiplicative rather than additive effect when taken together. For instance chicken and broccoli both contain anti-cencer benefits but when taken to gether the effect is thirteen times greater than when each are eaten on their own!
