Autoimmune Answers starts TODAY (Monday) Jimi!!
Autoimmune was certainly on my radar after Ryder was diagnosed
with cancer as there’s a huge amount of crossover…
But now that Teddy and I have also dealt with bringing an eczema (which is an official autoimmune condition) case back from the brink in Rocky,
we’re paying even closer attention!!
Speaking of crossover, think we’re all familiar with
the toxic bucket analogy.
We all have different size toxicant buckets that might take shorter or longer to fill up, but when they do, they
“spill over” into things like cancer or one of dozens of autoimmune conditions.
I’ve been talking about food a lot lately, but this
23 Toxic Threats in our Food That Trigger Autoimmune Disease and How To Reverse Their Effects they put out for the event I thought was of particular note.
(If only the amount of attention was put into toxicants in our food as was put into “scary germs” in people’s noses, I daresay we’d have quite a lot less disease to worry about in the first place)
Goes way beyond eating organic and avoiding pesticides etc, but a whole lot of
lesser known compounds like dioxins, synthetic silica, iodine (yes you can get too much), organic solvents,
Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), benzophenones,
perchlorate, etc, etc…
And shows what foods they’re the highest in,
how to get around them, how to offset their effects with other nutrients, and so on.
Definitely going into my digital shelf on toxicant avoidance!!!
All for now.
Oh and actually by the way, about to bombard my county health board along with dozens others in public comments following up on the epic “scary germ protection injections” email I sent them last week.
Wish me luck and will figure out a way to send that to you soon… know you’re going to love it!!
