What are toxins?

 

Today’s environment contains thousands of chemicals, many of which are toxic to the human body. Exogenous toxins that are introduced or produced from outside the human body include air pollution, synthetic chemicals in food and water, bacteria, viruses, and Allopathic drug residue.

Endogenous toxins are produced inside the body and come from lactic acid, adrenaline, histamine, antigen-antibody complexes, nutrient deficiencies, psychological stressors, and emotional traumas. Toxins constantly challenge cells, tissues, organs, hormones, the immune system, and other protective bodily mechanisms.
