How to Detox From Everyday Toxins to Support Healing

Environmental toxins are present in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the products we use in our homes and bodies, and even in our thoughts. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to avoid toxins in our lives altogether. However, it is possible to navigate an ever-increasing toxic world without bearing a significant toxic burden and compromising long-term health. The first step towards reclaiming your well-being is identifying the factors adversely affecting it.

Everyday Toxin Exposure

The World Health Organization states that more than 160 million known chemicals exist. Between 40,000 and 60,000 are used in commerce; around 6,000 comprise 99% of the total volume of chemicals used globally. Whether of natural or human origin, exposure to toxins is a normal part of life, sometimes starting in the embryonic stage. While not all chemicals are inherently dangerous, many, unfortunately, are, including glyphosate (found in fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides), BPAs (used to make various plastic products), phthalates (found in many household and cosmetic products), lead (common in contaminated water), and PFAs (found on nonstick cooking surfaces). 

The Global Alliance on Health and Pollution reports that toxic pollutants are responsible for 15 percent of premature deaths worldwide. Furthermore, environmental toxins can affect biological processes and cardiovascular, endocrine, reproductive, and respiratory functions.

Detoxification is crucial for disease prevention and for maintaining health. Unfortunately, we are perpetually exposed to toxins from the environment, foods, and even emotions. At NYCIM, we make personalized treatment plans for every patient, but detoxification is always addressed. This can include IV infusions with homeopathic remedies, IV chelation to target heavy metal removal, or EBOO, which uses ozone therapy. Every patient’s protocol is unique.

The Link Between Toxic Burden and Chronic Disease

Our bodies are naturally detoxing all the time. With the help of the lymphatic system, digestive tract, skin, and lungs, your liver and kidneys maintain an ongoing detoxification cycle. This process is essential for your survival. However, due to the heavy toxic load many of us carry from constant exposure to environmental toxins, our natural detoxification system can become overtaxed and less effective. In addition to a high toxic load, factors such as a poor diet, insufficient sleep, limited physical activity, chronic stress, and underlying health conditions can overwhelm our bodies, leading to chronic disease. A substantial toxic burden significantly contributes to the persistence of chronic diseases and is a fundamental issue that must be addressed to enable healing.

Regular Detoxing: A Way of Life

Innovative Medicine believes supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes is critical to maintaining good health. The human body can heal itself, but issues such as toxic overload, pH imbalance, intestinal disbalance, systemic inflammation, and viral and bacterial infections can impede this process. To address this, Innovative Medicine provides personalized detox and healing protocols for each patient, tailored to their individual needs. These protocols may include therapies such as EBOO and Chelation therapy to purify the blood and remove heavy metals. For many patients, even after healing is complete, regular detoxification therapies are necessary to maintain health and prevent future disease. 

Two NYCIM patients, Sara Bengur and Matt Rutigliano, have shared their experiences with healing and detox maintenance. Sara, a cancer patient, discovered that emotional stress contributed to her toxic load, and after becoming cancer-free, she continues with detox therapies as a preventive measure. Similarly, Matt, a Lyme patient, regularly visits NYCIM for detox support with Ozone therapy and Chelation therapy, even though he is Lyme-free. Both patients recognize the importance of ongoing detoxification for their overall well-being.
