TOXINS
We are all unavoidably exposed to potentially dangerous elements in our normal everyday life as we live in a toxic soup of around 100,000 chemicals and heavy metals. Toxins are detrimental to both sexes as they:
- Affect our ability to conceive
- Are harmful to our babies before and after they are born
- Are passed from mother to child during pregnancy and breast feeding.
TOXICITY for WOMEN
- TOXIN EXPOSURE. Toxins, such as heavy metals, agrochemicals, household chemicals, food additives, industrial waste and airborne pollutants can all disrupt the female hormone balance. Many problems with the female reproductive system are related to exposure to foreign / synthetic estrogens which can disrupt the female hormone balance and give rise to hormone related conditions like, endometriosis, lack of ovulation, late ovulation, polyps, fibroids, and unhealthy eggs.
TOXICITY for MEN
- Since 1938, with the rise of industrialisation, human male sperm count has HALVED. It is a worrying trend and seems to be continuing.
- PESTICIDE EXPOSURE. Hormone function is adversely affected by pesticide exposure. Pesticides are designed to KILL LIVING THINGS. Hormones regulate immune function, brain development, metabolism, fertility and much more. It is the adrenal gland (stress response) and the thyroid gland that are being affected most. Men exposed to increasing amounts of estrogenic compounds are being feminized by a lowered ratio of testosterone to oestrogen.
