The Impact of Common Chemicals on Health and Wellness of our Children
17 February 2016
Chemicals. This is a broad and common topic these days. More and more information is coming to light about the chemicals we use to treat our lawns, grow our foods, kill bugs, clean with, etc. and the ever-growing negative impact on our health and especially the health of our children.
Often times, if you have a child with autism, they have impaired detox pathways already. So for those of us who have or are recovering our child, improving their health happened in part to a detoxification plan. So when we consider just how hard we worked to remove some of these toxic chemicals, it is pretty important not to keep exposing them.
Thankfully research is joining in on this mission. And this message is not new, Bill Moyer did a special report on this issue back in 2002, the video is below. The segment is just under an hour and well worth the time spent. He delves into the over 75,000 synthetic chemicals and metals introduced in the US over the previous 70 years, and questioned whether they could be making our children sick. Most have never been tested for their toxic effects on children.
Another recent headline focused on the use of tire crumb for playground surfaces. As more children develop life threatening conditions after spending extended time on these surfaces, the government is now questioning the safety. "The long-term health effects of recycled tire crumb turfs have been questioned for some time now; parents of children who frequently play on these surfaces are naturally concerned. Now, governmental agencies in the US are launching a coordinated effort to answer the question: do these surfaces cause cancer?" To read the full article, click here.
Thankfully there are things you can do. First off, testing is a great way to see what exposures your child (and yourself!) may have had. Knowing what chemicals can often aid in the detox protocol. The Great Plains Laboratory has a brand new test, GPL-TOX which directly tests for 11 unique compounds. Indirect screening provides an evaluation of 168 different toxic chemicals by testing specific metabolites. All of the information is assessed from a single urine sample.
Once you have some idea as to what you have been exposed to, then you can work with your provider on the best methods of detoxification. We offer several products to support optimal detoxification in the body.
Our newest Liposomal Glutathione, Tri-Fortify, is a pleasant tasting yet potent option to support glutathione levels. New human clinical research demonstrated that Tri-Fortify™ Orange promotes healthy red blood cell glutathione level & natural killer cell function.
Bio-chelate is another gentle detox support, along with NDF by Bioray. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is always available to talk to you about other supplements we carry to support detoxification!
