We live today in a environment surrounded by many different forms of toxic  matter, from gross to subtle forms of poison. Those poisonous compounds effect the quality of water, soil, air and the food chain, in short the entire eco-system which supports our planet. Evolving technologies brought enormous benefits to mankind but at a price. Its influence on the human body, mind and spirit are now being recognised and explored in many branches of the empirical sciences. These influences on the organism must be countered by appropriate lifestyle, exercise, diet, nutrition, meditation and the development of appropriate treatment protocols.

There is increasing evidence that there are links between those toxins and the risk or possibility of developing chronic illnesses which if left untreated will result in long term disease. Changes take the form of symptoms which are difficult to categorise but which alter normal gland or organ functions. Symptoms may not present themselves as significant pathological changes in tissue status until they have become gross i.e. metastasised in body chemistry.

Chronic ill health comes with a variety of symptoms such as fatigue, energy loss, allergies, asthma and skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis. Drug treatments and medications, whilst beneficial for acute conditions, often suppress the immune system and result in immune disorders, fungal infections, candida overgrowth, changes in bowel flora with consequent problems in the digestive system such as Irritable Bowel (IBS) and Crohns. The ongoing accumulation of problems results in chronic pain, fibromyalgia, emotional and cognitive problems, brain fog, memory loss, weight gain and depression to name but a few.
 
Does the prevalence of chronic illness result from the degraded environment, the dependence on processed foods or the level of drug and medication intake? The answer is probably a combination of all three!
