Another week, another blog<\/a> on the power we have to
\nmake wise decisions to support our body and our health. Monday is one of my
\nfavorite days of the week. This is the day I designate to write to all of you
\nout in Internet land to provide you with easy-to-use tools to help you and your
\nloved one BreakFree <\/i>of sickness symptoms
\nand to support your wellness.<\/p>\n

I have discussed in the past how our beautiful
\nlivers, skin, kidneys, lungs, and colons are overworked these days due to their
\nexposure to 100,000+ chemicals in our world. Thankfully, I also provided five ways
\nto support our organs of elimination:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Eating organic to avoid pesticides, herbicides,
    \n and GMOs.<\/li>\n
  2. Using a filtered water system. <\/li>\n
  3. Diffusing and using therapeutic Young Living Essential Oils<\/a>, which
    \n help neutralize and kill airborne toxins as well as increase oxygenation
    \n to our brain. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can learn more
    \nabout using these oils at our     upcoming
    \nworkshop<\/a> on December 12th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

    You can also learn more and order these
    \noils here for your holiday wellness-giving treats.<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n

    4. Using safe and organic personal care products and household items. Our Living
    \nWell Healing Arts Center & Spa uses only non-toxic and natural personal
    \ncare products in our services. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Read about the Top
    \n12 Hormone Disruptors and How to Avoid Them.<\/i>
    \n<\/a> <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Work with your wellness practitioner to find
      \n the nutrients you need to support your body’s detoxifaction, elimination,
      \n and immune systems. Examples of nutrients include: amino acids from
      \n healthy protein sources, antioxidants such as coQ10, fiber, probiotics,
      \n and vitamins and minerals (such as vitamin C, E, B, magnesium, and
      \n selenium). <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Now, thanks to the November 2013 edition of the Townsend Letter<\/i><\/a>, there’s a sixth way that I will be
      \nadvocating…<\/p>\n

      \n

      6. Move your bootie….in other words, “shake what your mamma gave ya.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      Jule Shorts, in his article in the Townsend Letter<\/i> summarized some research
      \nfindings on the excretion capacity of toxicants in sweat.<\/p>\n

      A 2011 study by Genuis, S et al., used samples from
      \n10 healthy and 10 unhealthy subjects to measure levels of approximately 120 toxic
      \ncompounds in the blood, urine, and sweat. It was found that some toxins were
      \npreferably removed through sweat. This may be due to the fact that these toxins
      \nwere stored in tissues. <\/p>\n

      Furthermore, a 2012 study reported that generally more
      \narsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury appeared in sweat than in blood or urine.
      \nThese researchers used samples taken from people with higher exposure or
      \ngreater body burden of chemicals. <\/p>\n

      This could be for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the
      \nsubjects’ livers were overtaxed and their other organs of elimination were “plugged
      \nup.” This would make the skin be the preferred route for clearing out
      \nsubstances. Furthermore, genetic capacity to detoxify through liver enzyme
      \npathways, nutrient availability, medications, and health status are also
      \nimportant factors in how one rids the body of toxins. <\/p>\n

      Therefore, remember to always go slowly with any detoxification
      \nor cleansing protocol. I outline this approach in my upcoming book, BreakFree
      \nMedicine<\/u>.<\/p>\n

      So, support your body with healthy food, movement,
      \nnon-toxic personal care and cleaning products, nutrient support, and Young
      \nLiving essential oils. These essential oils actually help to clean toxic debris
      \nfrom the receptor sites in our cells.<\/p>\n
