How do we accumulate toxins on the first place? Our industry produces thousands of different chemicals, most of which have not been tested for safety. Our air, water, food and skin-care products are full of chemicals that are foreign to our bodily systems. Luckily we are like self-cleaning ovens and we’re able to excrete most of these poisons as fast as we take them in. By: Gleason Center Editors, Dr. Daniel Gleason DC This month’s article is taken from a presentation that we have done in our office hundreds of times.
