Toxin Free Living, Eating and Non Toxic Relationships
What Are Toxins?
Before I answer that question let me explain why I’m writing about toxins at all. It’s very simple: Toxicity is ONE cause of dis-ease (the other one is deficiency – which I talk about in the Healthy Habit Section and in our BLOG). Today, most people accept diseases like cancer, obesity, diabetes, inflammation, stroke, neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Dementia as “normal”. But just because something is common it does not make it normal!
Our ancestors through millions of years - over 84,000 generations - did not experience this epidemic of modern diseases which kill millions of people each year and make countless others sick. It is NOT normal!
If the cause of your health problems is due to a build-up of environmental and/or food related toxins rather than a deficiency of nutrients, you will need to reduce your toxic load in order to regain your health.
So let’s have a look at what toxins are so you know how to reduce the load!
By definition “A toxin (from Ancient Greek: τοξικόν toxikon) is a poisonous substance produced within living cells or organisms; synthetic toxicants created by artificial processes are thus excluded.” To simplify this I’ll use the term – like most people – for anything that is capable of causing disease or damaging tissue when it enters the body.
This includes toxins IN food like pesticides, GMO, preservatives, artificial colours and sweeteners – just to name a few. It is quite obvious that ingesting any of these can’t be healthy…
Beside these toxins there are certain types of foods that are extremely harmful to our health:
Beside these toxins there are certain types of foods that are extremely harmful to our health:
- Sugar and High Fructose Corn Syrup which contribute to weight gain, are extremely harmful for your liver and contribute to inflammation.
- Trans Fats = unsaturated fats that have been chemically modified. They are also known as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats. Trans fats have negative effects on cholesterol, increase fat in the abdominal cavity, lead to inflammation and insulin resistance.
- Industrial Seed- and Vegetable Oils, which are high in Omega 6. Elevated Omega 6 intake is associated with an increase in all inflammatory diseases – which is to say virtually all diseases.
4. Grains, especially refined wheat. This is not just a problem for people who are gluten intolerant. Every gain contains substances to protect the plant that are unhealthy for humans. Many grains are genetically modified and soaked in pesticides – creating havoc in the human body. But even if you chose organic ones, all grains are carbs which turn into glucose and that brings us back to the whole sugar problem, diabetes, overweight, cholesterol etc. [more in depth about this topic can be found in our BLOG]
There are also toxins like BPA which are used in hard plastics (such as reusable water bottles) and to line metal cans to protect us from botulism. Formaldehyde used in furniture industry is another one and also here the list goes on. [I’ll write more about it in my Blog].

You are putting THIS on your skin?
Another big area, often totally underestimated, is toxins in our personal care and household care products. Skincare, shampoos, makeup, toothpaste are loaded with SLS, Parabens, Fragrances, DEA, Propylene Glycol, Aluminium – there are thousands and most companies ban a handful, if at all.

It only takes 26 seconds for the chemicals to enter your bloodstream When cleaning our homes we think of clean, fresh and shiny. Rarely do we wonder about what’s in those cleaners… The average household contains about 62 toxic chemicals, say environmental experts. We’re exposed to them routinely — from the phthalates in synthetic fragrances to the noxious fumes in oven cleaners. Ingredients in common household products have been linked to asthma, cancer, reproductive disorders, hormone disruption and neurotoxicity.

Are you toxic?
And last not least there is another category of toxins – a very different one – TOXIC Emotions. Guilt, shame, anger, self-loathing, regret, bitterness, resentment … Humans experience an array of emotions and each of them creates a different feeling within the body. Our body releases different chemicals when we experience various things and they create a different environment within the body. For example if your brain releases serotonin, dopamine or oxytocin, you will feel good and happy. Conversely, if your body releases cortisol while you are stressed, you will have an entirely different feeling associated more with the body kicking into survival mode. The connection between your mind and body is very powerful and although it cannot be visually seen, the effects your mind can have on your physical body are profound.
Thinking negative thoughts all the time, arguing with your partner, co-workers and others effects your body – inside and out. As a Psychosomatic Therapist I have seen in myself and others how certain experiences, emotions and perceptions shape our body but also how dealing with these events and emotions can heal pain, deformation or excess weight. The work of my spiritual Teachers Marie & Hermann Mueller, Founder & Master Trainer, Australasian Institute of Body-Mind Analysis and Psychosomatic Therapy as well as the teachings from Louise Hay (based on the studies of Dr. John Demartini) and Dr. John Demartini’s work as such are life changing when it comes to self-healing by dealing with toxic emotions [more in my BLOG]. That also includes toxic relationships which are obviously loaded with toxic emotions…
