Westside Wellness: Los Angeles

This topic is a huge biochemical equation that will take me a year to clarify on this website. The short version will have to suffice for now.

Years ago Mercury was found to be in high levels in amalgam fillings and the world started to eliminate them. Oh, but not the US because of the American Dental Association not believing all the worldwide data. Then we found that fish was full of mercury and that was another harsh reality. The oceans are becoming toxic all over the world! Remember when beef was no good and fish was the answer? You know fish on Fridays? Well, now we find that the air we breath is full of mercury from automobile pollution, but not just from our air pollution but wafting over from China ! Do you see where this is going?

We are constantly being bombarded by toxins and it's our bodies job to get rid of them any way they can. That's the job of our Liver, Kidneys, Skin and Lungs. Toxins have an affinity to lock into fat cells. When I first started Liver detoxification programs with my patients I was surprised to see that they all lost weight. Some more than others. Men more than women but that's another category to talk about. Along with detoxification programs I began looking at the blood of most of our patients. We utilize a special test called Spectracell that tells us the nutritional status over the last six months of the sample. What did I find? Well almost exclusively the anti oxidant levels of everyone in Los Angeles is lower than they should be. What does that mean? At first I thought that people just weren't taking enough in the foods they eat or the supplements that they take. But guess what? There were those taking huge amounts of good antioxidants and still showing low? Bad test you say? I thought about it for quite a while and then it made sense to me. Here's what I think is happening. We are all under tremendous toxic loads at all times and just don't know it anymore. If you leave the city and look back you see a brown cloud that we are always breathing!

So, I recommend the best quality antioxidants, but I also recommend a major liver and body detoxification once a year to keep you as healthy as you want to be. Colon cleansers are great but they do not detoxify the major chemical pathways through the liver! Myth number 2 is you cannot fast and cleanse the liver! Amino acids are required in one of the pathways, you know protein.
