Our lives are characterized by a pervasive and increasing burden of environmental toxins. At work, at home, in traffic, and especially through our diet, we unknowingly introduce a multitude of harmful substances. There are over 100,000 chemicals used in the industry, and the World Health Organization (WHO) lists more than 900 cancer-causing environmental toxins.

The occurrence of acute poisoning symptoms is rather the exception, as most of the substances absorbed through air and food are eliminated by our metabolism.

The main problem is the accumulation of small amounts of toxins in various organ systems, such as nerves, connective, and bone tissue.

According to WHO estimates, environmental toxins will be the leading cause of death by 2050.

Our detoxification quality largely depends on the function of our detoxification enzymes. These enzymes have individually varying functionality.

Determining genetic polymorphisms can provide insight into this function.

The most common biological effects of environmental toxins are:

• Damage to our mitochondria, the Mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, resulting in loss of energy and performance.
• Blockade of enzymes, disruption of hormone production, and hormone action.
• Damage to the intestinal mucosa and gut flora, leading to the phenomenon of leaky gut.

The most common symptoms of chronic toxin exposure are:

• Fatigue symptoms, fatigue, burnout.
• Mood swings, depression.
• Sleep disorders.
• Digestive problems.
• Hormonal imbalances, infertility.
• Various nerve stress and nerve damage with diseases such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Alzheimer's dementia.
• Autoimmune reactions, inflammatory reactions, and a restriction of our immune system.

For milder poisonings, improvements in symptoms can be achieved through lifestyle adjustments, dietary changes, and targeted intake of dietary

If more severe burdens are suspected, a good therapy option can be offered with the help of heavy metal-eliminating chelation therapy infusions . These infusions relieve the body's detoxification system and reduce the heavy metal load on the body.
