Exogenous toxins – Every year about 1000 new chemicals are released on the market, these are often not tested for their effects on the human body. Some are called PBT’s or Persistant Bioaccumulative Toxins, meaning that they are present in the environment and in our food chain for a long time, such as pesticide residues (DDT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s), dioxins and plasticizers. Other more common exogenous toxins include food additives, chemical ingredients used in body care products, cigarette smoke etc. When accumulated in the body, their effects range from immunotoxicity to endocrine dysfunction affecting also the nervous system, vital organs, cellular energy, antioxidant reactions as well as mucosal surfaces and some may even be carcinogenic.
Endogenous toxins –These are created in the form of end products of our metabolism, such as histamine, adrenaline etc. and if not excreted will become harmful.
Toxins include:
Physical: weather, irradiation/light, noise, electromagnetic fields and radioactivity
Chemical: pollution, compounds from everyday life; cleaning products, insecticides, drugs, alcohol,medication etc.
Biological: bacteria, viruses, fungi, food allergens etc.
Psychological: stress, psychosomatic problems, mood disorders etc.
The human body will react in a certain way until toxins are eliminated and balance is restored. Metabolic reactions need to occur in a proper environment, free of waste materials and within an ideal pH range. When a buildup of toxins occur in certain areas of the body, naturally the chemical reactions become slower and of poorer quality, which then affects all of the body’s functions. As the quantity of toxins increases, the reactivity potential ( natural defence mechanisms) of the individual decreases and the body’ descends into an evolution of pathologies towards an irreversible stages where they become chronic, degenerative or out of control (cancer).
