What is a Toxin? Who Is Toxic?
We all are toxic....We all live in a toxic world. Even with ongoing care, your body accumulates more toxins than it eliminates. A "toxin" can be anything from pesticides, xenoestrogens, food dyes, synthetic drugs and hormones, plastics, air pollution, water pollution, parasites, and chemicals from foods, medicines, surgery, or dental work and even an emotional toxic buildup from stress. When you consider that we are only the 2nd or 3rd generation of humankind to ever live in a world of clogged air, chemicals, and electromagnetic frequencies, to walk on concrete rather than dirt, and to sit all day indoors, it is amazing that we aren't worse off than we are.
So what does our body do with all the built up Toxins?
It stores them in our tissues such as our breasts and ovaries, causing cysts. As well as in our organs such as our Liver, Intestines, and Stomach clogging them. These toxins congest our liver and disrupts our system. They build up and confuse our hormone system, and make it hard for us to release what we do not need.
Signs you may be Toxic:
-Chronic Fatigue
-Headaches
-Fibromyalgia
-Hypoglycemia or Diabetes
-Poor Sleep
-Dark Circles Under your eyes
-Anger/Depression
-Allergies
What can you do About It?
~Use Natural Beauty products, the average woman uses 22 products each morning - how many have toxic dyes and chemicals?
~Eat Meats that have not been injected with fat producing hormones - Organic meats.
~Use essential oils instead of toxic perfumes
~Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables (organic when possible) that contain antioxidants to help detoxify.
~Take weekly Detox baths - for recipes click here
~Limit alcohol, tobacco, and synthetic prescription drugs, even aspirin.
~Detox and Cleanse your body from the inside out, once or twice a year!
Start thinking ahead, the perfect time to Cleanse is after the Holidays!

ACHOOOO!!!!
If you live in Austin and other allergen-laden locales, you are certainly familiar with the outward symptoms of airborne allergies. And if you've ever rushed to the bathroom after lunch, you may also be familiar with some food allergies and what they do to you. But did you know that depression can actually be a symptom of an allergy at work in your body? So can muscle aches, joint pain, anger and irritability, even an inability to think clearly.
The list of allergy symptoms goes on and on.The exact cause of allergies isn't known. Western science defines an allergic reaction as the body's defense mechanism against an allergen or foreign substance. The body's immune system takes over in an attempt to protect it. Ironically, your body is making you uncomfortable by fighting what are often benign substances.Allergies to airborne substances, ragweed, mold, dust, mountain juniper, are often indicative of inflammation somewhere in the GI tract. They are typically secondary to a food allergy that is creating the inflammation. Some allergens are actually inherited, but these are few. In fact, allergic reactions to soy, peanuts, dairy products, and wheat appear to be the only genetic allergies.
Changing the pH and calming the inflammation of the bowels is the key to reducing or eliminating allergies. While it isn't an overnight process, the results are worth it-living without sinusitis, itchy watery eyes, headaches, pressure, fatigue, drainage, sinus infections, irritable bowels, spastic colon, diarrhea, and constipation. You may be shocked to discover how many of your seemingly unrelated symptoms are actually allergies.
Other symptoms of allergies include migraines, heartburn, fainting, blood-sugar problems, indigestion, and even mood disorders. Often, depression is actually a result of commonly ingested allergens, and many people find they can reduce or eliminate their need for psychotropic medications by modifying their food intake.In my office we use homeopathic remedies, herbs, acupuncture and adjustments to alleviate allergy symptoms and the cause.
For Immediate Relief of Allergies while you are building your Immune System - Try Natural D-Hist and Texas Allergy
Both are fast acting and help reduce allergy symptoms. Both are sold only by Dr.'s and I do carry both in the office.
Natural D-Hist combines Quercetin, which is a mast cell stabalizers that inhibits compounds that affect the nasal passageways slowing down nasal discharge, with Bromelain which supports the mucousal lining and slows down the mucus viscosity. D-Hist does not leave you with that "hang over" feeling benedryl or other over the counter medications may.....
Texas Allergy Spray is a homeopathic remedy that slowly introduces Texas Allergens into your system such as Ragweed, Mold and Cedar. By introducing small amounts before allergy season hits, your body will build immunity to the allergen when it comes into contact with the real thing. I like to start my patients on this the month or so before the allergen that bothers them is at it's highest. For example I start my Cedar sensitive patients on Texas Allergy in late September for the November Cedar Season.
