Why Am I So Toxic? I Don't Understand! Where Do They Come From?

84,000 Toxins and Counting

“Why am I so toxic?” “Where do all the toxins come from?” “I eat so healthy, what do you mean I have chemical and heavy metal poisoning?” “I just don’t UNDERSTAND!” I am asked these questions countless times a day.

In order for us to understand how we have become so toxic, we must understand how the body was designed to withstand toxins in the first place. Humans are equipped with a gland in the skull called the parotid gland. There are two, the size of a walnut, one on each side of the jaw bone. You will know what gland I’m talking about when I say the gland that hurts when you bite into a lemon or something very sour. It’s back there in your lower jaw, just in front of your ear. The parotid gland is in the body to protect us from toxins we ingest through the mouth or breathe in through the nose. The wonderful parotid gland secretes saliva and tags or labels what nutrients are coming in, what toxins to look out for, how much sugar and protein are entering, etc. These little tags essentially get the body into gear.

“Hey down below, we have X amount of proteins, Y amount of sugars, Z amount of fats and XY amount of heavy metal and chemicals. So Liver -- get into gear and get ready to handle the heavy metals, chemicals and sugars!!!”

Back in the 1800s a solution of mercury was applied to felt hats. Eventually the hatter would go crazy or mad from the mercury toxicity -- hence the term “Mad as a Hatter.” My point is that it took the hatter a really long time to become overloaded with enough mercury to go mad. Now we all know that mercury is extremely toxic to our neurological systems, so why did it take so many years for a hatter to go mad? Let’s think back to the 1800’s for a minute… How many man-made chemicals did people’s bodies have to contend with at that time? How many food additives? Food dyes? Food preservatives? Fertilizers? Weed killers? Pesticides? Petroleum products? Fire retardants? Plastics? Chemical Cleaners? Pharmaceuticals? Etc. Let me put it this way -- the chemicals and heavy metals back then were a far cry from what we have today. There was probably a handful or so of man-made chemicals for the body to process. As of today, there are over 84,000 chemicals on the books and counting! Let that sink in for a moment. That’s a lot of man-made unnatural toxic stuff for our poor little bodies to contend with. Back to the question: Why did it take so many years for a hatter to go mad? It was because he was not over burdened on a daily basis with the 84,000 toxins that we have today.

My thoughts are this. When man first inhabited Earth, there were virtually no toxins. Our bodies were made to contend with the little bit of earthly toxins that got thrown our way, not 84,000 man-made chemicals and counting! This explosion of toxic chemicals has taken place in just the last 150 years, and we as a human race have not evolved to handle this toxic burden. When we do, we will probably look like chipmunk people with huge parotid glands. The bigger the parotid gland the more attractive you are.



I am not writing this to scare you but to give you hope and empower you. We can get toxins out of the body! We just have to do it the right way. Whenever you are going to release toxins, you have to follow them all the way out of the body. What I have found in my practice is that people do fasts, thinking that they are doing a great thing for their body. I beg to disagree. If you have a buildup of toxins in your fat, all you are going to be doing is releasing the toxins out of the fat and into the system where they can do harm while they float around and find a new place to land. Chemicals are very caustic. It is better to let sleeping dogs lie than to stir up chemicals only to let them land in a new spot.

For just one moment I want you to think about all of the chemicals you personally know the smells of and who knows, maybe even the tastes. Let’s just think. Chlorine (you even take a shower in it), ammonia, acetone, butane, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, propane, all the sulfates in your beauty products, all of the prescription drugs, over the counter drugs, cleaning products, fertilizers, pesticides, perfumes, solvents -- the list can go on and on. These are all toxins to us and our planet. God gave us a set of parotid glands as our first line of defense; they are a little overwhelmed to say the least.

Symptoms for Chemical and Heavy Metals are in no way limited to:
Kidney and Urinary Tract Infections
Bad smelling urine
Depression
Anxiety
Moodiness
PMS
Inability to think clearly
Memory loss
Not feeling sharp
Feeling that you are the walking ill
Doctor says, “Nothing is wrong with you.” But you feel something is wrong.

Please, please, please -- if you are going to cleanse or fast, come to me for a chemical and heavy metals evaluation. The chemicals and heavy metals will take a certain route out of the body depending on what kind of beasties are inside of you. You must protect the route out, either the urinary tract or the digestive tract or both. With proper supplementation, we can protect the pathways out. This way you will have an incredibly successful cleanse or fast. A mix of proper nutrients and colonics is the best way to maintain overall health and your beautiful appearance.

Class for 08Aimee Eoff ~ Performance Coach

Aimee Eoff (Bio) ~ Performance Coach

Aimee’s intuitive awareness has been a part of her life for as long as she can remember. In her early 20s she started to look at how she could cultivate her intuition to help herself create life changes as well as help others. That is when she began her education in the healing arts.

Aimee graduated from the National Holistic Institute where she studied massage therapy, meridians and the body’s energy systems. This experience lead her to the question of how could she develop her intuition further. About eight years ago she found her answer. Aimee began her intuitive studies at Intuitive Way, Center for Intuitive Development in Walnut Creek. From the first meditation class Aimee knew this is what she had been seeking. Aimee graduated the basic meditation and healing classes and continued her advanced studies in the clarvoyant program and then the graduate program.

After completing the Graduate Program Aimee found herself wanting to teach others how to awaken their intuition and make the changes they desire in their lives. After graduating the teachers program Aimee began to teach classes with great passion. “I want to share with others the tools I have learned that have changed my life in so many ways!”

This is when she found her passion of teaching at Intuitive Way and is excited to be in Sacramento where she can offer this life changing experience. Aimee is a healer, intuitive reader and teacher. This is her passion and she is very excited to empower you by teaching you the tools to create the change in your life you desire.

Aimee has held seminars on Intuition and Wellness at companies such as Smud and Alliance Title Company. She is a well respected successful individual in the intuitive world as well as in her career where she has been a Global Marketing Manager, Director of Sales and is currently a Regional Performance Coach for Apollo Group, University of Phoenix.

Problems Are Like The Sun, It's Energy That Is Used For Growth

You can be affected when a family member or close friend is going through a difficult time. How can you best help your loved one through this time?

Because family is so close, it can be difficult to see yourself as separate and individual rather than just part of the family. This is why family can be a source of losing one’s self quite easily. For example, when one of my sisters is going through a challenging time, I sometimes catch myself bringing her problem into my mind to solve. What then happens is that both of us become affected by the problem instead of being neutral and able to see it. This can create resistance and effort to solve the problem. However, it is that resistance and effort that keep us stuck. When I am able to see myself as separate from her, I can be the neutral support she needs and help her move through the problem and create the change she wants to make.

We cannot solve other people’s problems just as we cannot heal them. If we take their problem into our space then they are unable to see their own answers. As spirit we create these challenges in life to learn and grow. Without challenges, we would not grow. When we do not allow someone to solve their own problems we are doing them a disservice. The same applies for healing others. What we can do is hold a safe space for them and validate their ability to heal themselves and trust their own voices.

I am not saying that we should live in a world of separateness, as we are all connected. What I am saying is that to see yourself as the unique vibration and energy that you are is truth.
For a visual, imagine a large circle. Now within that circle, create a circle for each of your family members. Do you see how you are each your own individual within this amazing family circle? Each individual has her or his own unique vibration. What is happening to one is not necessarily happening to the other. When we stay in our space we give the gift of allowing those around us to experience being grounded and their own space. We validate them as spirit as we are validated. The gift to them is seeing them and validating who they are as spirit while honoring our own self.

Why The Flu Shot Doesn't Work

There is no single virus that causes the flu, and there is no single flu vaccine that protects against all of them. A flu vaccine is designed to help us build antibodies against the strains of flu that public health authorities expect to be most common and most serious. The flu vaccine is a sort of one-size-fits-all deal, even though there are more types of flu than the vaccine can hold and the flu types are different depending on where you live. Vaccines can’t be made overnight, so quickly creating a new vaccine in response to a new type of flu is impossible.

The flu vaccine works by giving the body small doses of flu to cause it to build an antibody (what the human body uses to get rid of the virus). An antibody for one type of flu won't necessarily bind to a virus part from another type of flu, therefore you don't get protection against other viruses. A flu vaccine can only stimulate your immune system to protect you against the viruses contained in the vaccine, with some lesser protection against very similar ones. Even then, you may not get protection against the intended virus. Viruses change over time. The piece that was in the vaccine may not 'look' the same (chemically) as the real thing (months later, after all!). Also, the vaccine may not have given you enough stimulation to fight off the disease.

So when the virus piece from the flu shot finds a chemical match in your body, an immune response occurs. Your body gears up its production of antibodies and receptor sites on cells that can mark the virus for destruction or kill it outright. It's like calling up an army for a battle. If you have enough defenses built up, your body has a chance of fighting off the virus. If not, you can still get the flu. When you are exposed to the flu too soon or too long after receiving the shot, the body doesn’t have the antibodies. When your body doesn’t produce enough antibodies, the few we do make are ineffective. Sometimes the virus changes beyond our bodies’ ability to recognize it, or the body doesn’t detect the vaccine at all.

Not to mention, the flu shot can have some side effects like soreness, swelling, fever or aches, and even becoming sick with the flu. And in some cases, a life threatening allergic reaction or the development of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (an immune system disorder that can lead to paralysis) may occur. Plus, are we really sure we know all the ingredients that go into a flu shot? They may contain harmful things like heavy metals and poisons that weaken our immune system over a long period of time.

The flu vaccine varies in effectiveness from year to year. Even in a best-case scenario, it won't always protect against the flu. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) didn't say that the vaccine doesn't work, they said the vaccine doesn't protect people from getting sick.
We believe it’s essential to build immune support the natural way, because then the body gets the REAL fighting chance without all those possible side effects and toxins.
