According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), over 35% of the food tested in 1998 contained pesticide residues.
Fifty-three pesticides classified as "carcinogens" are presently registered for use on major crops, including apples, tomatoes, and potatoes.
Additionally, more than 10,000 additives are added to our food supply.
In fact, an average American eats about 142 lbs. of additives a year.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA) more than 1,000,000 Americans drink water laced with pesticides.
In 2000 alone, more than 4 billion pounds of chemicals were released into the ground, and over 260 million pounds of chemicals were discharged into surface waters, i.e. lakes and rivers, making fish unsafe to eat and water unsafe to swim in or to drink.
How Serious is the Threat?

The body is designed to eliminate toxins, but when an individual is exposed to chemical toxins, the body cannot detoxify or eliminate these pollutants.
Toxins ingested in small doses may eventually add up to lethal amounts.
Scientists from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) both indicate that chemicals in our air, food, and water cause between 60-80% of all cancers. Long-term exposure to pollution can result in genetic changes that affect growth, health, and behavior, and contribute to our susceptibility to diseases.

How to Protect Your Family and Yourself?

The key to protection is to rid the body of toxins. The body is designed, by nature, to rid itself of harmful toxins through a process called Bio-Detoxification (Bio + Life, Detoxification = Cleansing). Unfortunately, in today's world the body is overwhelmed by a great number of toxins found in air, water, and the food we eat. The good news is that your Healthcare Provider can offer a scientific and clinically effective cleansing program to clear the body of harmful toxins.

How does Detoxification Work?

The process of Bio-Detoxification takes place primarily in the liver. The liver is a key organ in our body's self defense system. Detoxification is largely accomplished in 2 phases. In phase I, the body's enzymes activate the toxic substances to make them more accessible in phase II. In phase II, specific enzymes convert toxins into water soluble and harmless molecules that are then eliminated by the body.

Your Body Needs Specific Vitamins & Minerals for the Process

The detoxification process is critically dependent on an adequate amount of nutrition, specific vitamins, enzymes, and minerals. Without these specific nutrients the liver cannot eliminate toxins. Without elimination, these stored toxins may be slowly released into the blood, contributing to many chronic illnesses, including some cancers.
