How These Toxins Impact Your Health:

Toxins can affect every system in your body, leading to issues such as:

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Chemicals like BPA and phthalates disrupt your endocrine system, leading to issues such as weight gain, fatigue, and mood swings.

  • Neurological Issues: Heavy metals can contribute to brain fog, memory loss, and even more severe neurological conditions.

  • Chronic Fatigue and Immune Suppression: A high toxic load can overwhelm your liver and immune system, leaving you feeling constantly exhausted and more susceptible to illness.

  • Adrenals & Thyroid: Amalgam fillings contain mercury, which can disrupt both thyroid and adrenal gland functions.Mercury can interfere with the conversion of thyroid hormones, leading to hypothyroid symptoms like fatigue and weight gain. It can also trigger autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's by causing the immune system to attack the thyroid. Additionally, mercury exposure can stress the adrenal glands, leading to cortisol imbalances and adrenal fatigue, resulting in chronic exhaustion and hormonal disruptions. These effects highlight the potential health risks associated with mercury exposure from dental amalgams.

  • Leaky Gut: Pesticides and herbicides can harm gut health by disrupting the balance of gut bacteria and damaging the intestinal lining. Chemicals like glyphosate increase intestinal permeability, leading to leaky gut. This condition allows toxins and microbes to enter the bloodstream, triggering inflammation and immune responses that can cause and exacerbate health issues.
