Toxic Metals in Chilli Sauces, Turmeric and other spices.

  When searching for the exposure have you asked whether your patient loves Chilli sauces? " In March this year, the US Food and Drug Administration warned that investigators detected roughly 2 to 3 parts per million of lead in Cinnamon. It is known that some spice suppliers intentionally add lead chromate to enhance the colour or increase the product weight! " This article reveals other spices from a US Laboratory white paper...

Toxins in Tattoo Inks – Significant Health Impacts

Tattoos have been an integral part of human culture for millennia, serving as art, symbols of identity, and expressions of personal beliefs. However, in recent years, concerns about heavy metal toxicity related to tattoo inks have grown, sparking interest in understanding the potential health risks associated with getting inked. In this article, we delve into tattoos and explore the presence of heavy metals in tattoo inks, their possible effects on...

Nutrient Support for Detoxification

Every day the human body is exposed to toxic compounds in the air, water and food. An individual’s ability to detoxify these substances, both from exogenous sources, such as heavy metals, xenobiotics, chemical pollutants, and processed foods, and endogenous sources, such as the by-products of metabolism, is critical to overall health and detoxification. Several organ systems work together as part of a comprehensive network to aid the breakdown and elimination of...

EMFs and Heavy Metal Burdens

  Environmental toxicities such as EMFs and heavy metals have become one of the greatest global health burdens. It’s not only developing countries, or a socio-economic issue, Australians are also at risk. A 2017 systematic review of 133 diseases and injuries showed that 23% of global deaths and 22% of global Disabilities Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) can be attributed to environmental risks in the year 2012 and that this burden is...

Toxic mechanism of Arsenic are well documented in studies as shown above.

Arsenic – #1 King of Poisons

World Health Organisations – Top 10 Chemicals of concern include Arsenic (June 2020) Department of Health and Human Service and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) rank Arsenic number one among substances present in the environment that pose the most significant threat to human health. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies arsenic and inorganic arsenic compounds as “carcinogenic to humans.” This is based on sufficient evidence...

Dr Marc Cohen’s – Ten Toxic Truths

Everyone is affected. Toxicity is everywhere. Toxic chemicals travel the globe and have entered every habitat on earth. Toxic exposures affect all living things and can be found in our water, food, air, buildings and soil and in all our body organs, tissues, umbilical cord blood and breast milk. The full extent is unknown Tens of thousands of toxic chemicals are produced commercially and even more are created as pollutants. These...

The Calcium/Virus Connection

Viruses are known to use calcium and cellular calcium-binding proteins to promote their entry into cells, enhance viral replication and gene expression among other actions. Calcium is a universal cellular messenger. Viruses use this action for their prolific replication throughout the body. The relationship between viruses and calcium falls into three main categories; 1) viral proteins directly impact calcium homeostasis due to altering membrane permeability or affecting the calcium signaling; 2) Viral proteins...

Vitamin E Update

Vitamin E is a group of eight compounds, α-, β-, δ-, ϒ-tocopherols and α-, β-, δ-, ϒ-tocotrienols, which are lipid-soluble. All vitamin E isoforms have antioxidative, antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects (2,3). Vitamin E, although not as effective as Selenium, is also a very useful aid in detoxification and in the reduction of methylmercury toxicity (1). Key sources of tocopherols are sunflower & rapeseed oil, whereas important sources of tocotrienols...

Boron is far from Boring!

An in-depth look at Boron, its role in the body, the environment and in Australian HTMA Boron: An overview Boron is a naturally occurring element. It’s found in the environment, combined with oxygen and other elements in compounds called borates. Borates are widely found in nature, and are present in oceans, sedimentary rocks, coal, shale and some soils. Boron is released to the atmosphere via volcanic activity and from geothermal steam. It’s estimated...
