FIVE SIMPLE TOXIN REDUCING SWITCHES TO OPTIMIZE YOUR HEALTH, SPECIFICALLY YOUR HORMONES. By Dr. Daniel Pomp – Pompa Health Solutions Nutrition, Wellness and Weight Loss Optimization Clinic Wexford.
#1 ELIMINATE AND REDUCE PESTICIDES IN FOODS AND HOME
Pesticides include products to control insects (insecticides), rodents (rodenticides), fungi (fungicides), termites (termiticides), and germs (germicides or disinfectants). The suffix “-cide” means “killer”. These “killers” are used in and around over 91% of the homes in America and over 80% of our exposure occurs inside your homes. Collects in the dust in our home from the outdoors and what we spray in and around our home. In 1990 this “killers” poisoned over 79,000 children (www.aerias.org). But that number is small in comparison to the neuro-endocrine (hormones) disruption that is occurring inside us that is not being reported.
