We all come into this world with a different capacity for how many toxins our body can handle before that amount exceeds our ability to adapt to these environmental stressors. Dr. McCollum, putting it in layman's terms, states that we each get a different size cup for carrying toxins. Some people are born with a shot glass, others a pint glass, while some get a one gallon bucket. The size of your cup determines how many toxins your body can handle before it becomes overloaded and diseased, turning on bad genes that lead to cancer, stroke, diabetes, and a whole range of autoimmune conditions.
Most of the environmental toxins we are exposed to come through the foods we eat. To get yourself healthy, it is critical that you stay away from inflammatory foods. Other sources of toxins come from molds, heavy metals, hidden infections producing neurotoxins as a byproduct, off-gassing of new furniture and building materials, as well as our mother’s umbilical blood.
In his book—Turn Back Your Biological Clock—Dr. McCollum addresses the issue of toxins, how to identify them, and how to eliminate them from your body through proper diet, supplementation, and lifestyle. He also provides a Neurotoxic Questionaire on his website McCollumWellness.com, where you can fill out and receive a free assessment of your personal toxicity score and what signs and symptoms may be indicating you are suffering from toxic overload.
