Toxin Solution

For almost half a century, Dr. Joe Pizzorno has taught tens of thousands of students and doctors, authored or co-authored 11 books, written over 100 articles in scientific journals, and cared for tens of thousands of patients either directly or indirectly. As a leading pioneer of integrative medicine, he’s convinced that that there are two key determinants of whether or not you will enjoy health today, tomorrow, and lifelong: 1. The extent of your exposure to toxins and 2. Your ability to process the toxins that are absorbed into your body. While lifestyle, diet, and genetics all play a major role in your health, many of the primary symptoms of declining health and chronic disease start with toxic overload. The human body has an innate capacity to detoxify; however, we are exposed today to a level of consumer, agricultural, and industrial toxins that our bodies never evolved to handle. Over a lifetime, this toxic overload contributes to diseases once rare that are now epidemic in people of all ages. The Toxin Solution offers readers the proven detox and tailored protocols Pizzorno has developed to release toxic overload and restore health. Readers will also learn how to avoid toxins (wherever possible) as they progressively release them from their cells, tissues, fat stores, and liver. In just eight weeks, The Toxin Solution will: • Teach you to avoid toxins in food and the products you use. • Help repair your liver, gut, kidneys, and prepare for detox. • Support your body in releasing the chemicals. • Repair some of the damage toxins have caused. Our parents and grandparents undoubtedly faced their own unique stressors, but they were nothing like the barrage of chemicals, heavy metals, radiation, electromagnetic frequencies, and pollution that batter us today. Fortunately, our bodies have a tremendous capacity to remain vital, bounce back (and even heal themselves). And as you follow The Toxin Solution, you will discover how releasing and avoiding toxins will help you to feel radically better today—and for the rest of your life.
