Chemical Poisoning

Eat organically grown foods as much as possible.  A high-fiber diet is particularly helpful for cleansing the system. Recommended foods include brown rice, beans, barley, lentils, oatmeal, beets, carrots, spinach, garlic, onions, almonds, brazil nuts, bananas, lemons, grapes, dates, and plain, organic yogurt.

Short, periodic fasts are also recommended to reduce toxicity. (See our Cleansing and Detoxification section for more information.)

It is important to not add further toxicity to your system during the healing process so also try to adhere to the following:

• Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame

• Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.

• Do not drink any carbonated beverages.

• Avoid all fast food restaurants.

• Avoid all canned food.

• Eliminate conventional dairy products.  The best dairy products are raw, unpasteurised and homogenised dairy from grass fed cows.  If this is unavailable, then buy organic dairy.
• Avoid conventional beef.  The best beef is organic grass fed beef.

Supplements:

In emergency situations caused by chemical poisoning, a very high dose of vitamin C and glutathione given intravenously can be very helpful.

Other useful nutrients include vitamin B complex with choline and inositol, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, garlic capsules, superoxide dismutase (SOD), raw liver extract, protein supplements (free-form amino acids, especially L-cysteine and L-methionine), and selenium.

The following protocol, administered under a physician’s care, can also be helpful:

Supplement with essential fatty acids like flaxseed, canola, safflower, or sunflower oil (two to three tablespoons to as much as 1/8 cup); co-enzymated B complex; vitamin C; and lecithin. Consume immediately before a light exercise session or a light, dry sauna. Immediately after exercise or sauna, take a cool shower with a good quality soap. People who are very ill from the toxins should work into the exercise and sauna program very slowly.

Prescription and non-prescription medication:

What non-prescription and prescription drugs are you taking?  Your non-prescription and prescription are partially the reason that you have this illness or disease – you need to get off these medications but do so only under the guidance of a licensed health care practitioner.
