Detox Your Way to Wellness

drsundardas   September 9, 2024   No Comments on Detox Your Way to Wellness

We will shed light on the often overlooked but important issue of environmental toxicity and its impact on our health. As a naturopath, one of my primary concerns is ensuring overall well-being. Today, we will explore the various diseases associated with environmental toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides, and air pollution from our thirty-five years of experience.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/our-assessment-methods

With the National Institutes of Health (NIH) stating that up to 93% of all human cancers are not genetic, it’s clear that the environment plays a significant role in the disease’s prevalence. 

Everyday, without even realizing it, you’re exposed to environmental toxins.

They’re everywhere:

  • Mercury in your dental fillings or certain fish you love
  • Arsenic hiding in your favorite dishes
  • Parasites lurking in your food and water
  • Lead in old pipes and paints in your house
  • Toxins from everyday environmental exposure
  • Aluminum in beauty products such as lipstick and antiperspirants
  • Cadmium in furniture, mattresses, and e-cigarettes

It’s nearly impossible to dodge heavy metals, toxins, and parasites in our modern world. The overwhelming presence of environmental toxins could be affecting you. How do you know if you are affected?  https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

Chronic fatigue syndrome?

Feeling weak in the muscles?

Unexplained aches and pain?

Often finding yourself in a “brain fog”?

Cognitive and neurological disorders

Digestive problems and allergies?

Unexplained headaches or mood swings?

Irregular menses or hormonal swings?

Kidney damage and cardiovascular issues?

Environmental toxins pose a significant threat to our overall and brain health, but awareness and taking preventive measures can safeguard us from their adverse effects. By implementing simple changes in our daily lives, such as opting for organic produce, purifying our air and water, and limiting exposure to toxic substances, we can minimize the risks associated with environmental toxicity.  https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity                               

Consult with a naturopath or healthcare professional for personalized guidance on detoxification and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Remember, prevention is always better than cure when it comes to environmental toxicity and its impact on our well-being. Stay safe, stay healthy! https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/

Your Glymphatic System and Sleep

drsundardas   August 28, 2024   No Comments on Your Glymphatic System and Sleep

Are you among the millions of people who wrestle with the frustrating, energy-draining issue of elusive sleep?

When you don’t sleep well, it’s not just fatigue and brain fog that you need to worry about; the repercussions echo throughout your entire body! https://blog.drsundardas.com/does-your-sleep-refresh-you/

Poor sleep can hamper your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections. It can disrupt your hormones, leading to mood swings and weight gain, and can impact your appetite

Lack of sleep is linked to an increased risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. It can affect your cognitive functions, impairing memory, attention, and decision-making abilities

Lack of sleep puts your emotional well-being at stake, as sleep deprivation can trigger stress, anxiety, and depression.  https://blog.drsundardas.com/is-your-nervous-system-running-you-down/

Lastly, poor sleep hinders the body’s repair work — tissue growth, muscle repair, and synthesis of essential molecules all happen during sleep

When your sleep quality dwindles, your overall health and wellness pay the price!

Deep sleep plays a crucial role in the optimal functioning of the brain microbiome, including necessary nightly brain detoxification. And when you don’t get it, your body suffers.

But how?

The glymphatic system is one of the key systems working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure your brain’s health.

Unearthed only in 2015, the glymphatic system’s waste clearance powerhouse facilitates the nightly removal of toxins and metabolic waste from the brain. Its work, however, doesn’t stop there. It also has structural and functional features that may be connected with neurological and neurodegenerative conditions .It enhance neuroplasticity.  (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity)           

But here’s the catch — the glymphatic system becomes active when we are in either deep sleep or REM. This is where dreaming, a component of REM sleep, plays a critical role in supporting proper brain detoxification. Dreams are a conduit to another dimension of thinking, removing waste, promoting brain detoxification, and restoring psychological balance. A well-balanced mind necessitates dreaming.

GABA: A crucial neurotransmitter in the brain known for its role in learning, memory, and particularly long-term memory.

L-THEANINE: An amino acid well known to promote restful sleep and improve certain aspects of cognitive function, like attention and memory

People who use formulas that include the above report experiencing ease in falling asleep, improved quality of sleep, increased energy upon awakening, improved mood, focus, and attention, and increased quality and quantity of dreams.

These products also calm an overloaded nervous system and maintains internal balance. It influences deeper sleep, which further supports the glymphatic system, a key route of detoxification for stress-induced toxins.

This all contributes to rejuvenating your body’s built-in mechanisms to detoxify and heal, ensuring restorative sleep and energetic mornings.

Healing and Detoxification

drsundardas   August 21, 2024   No Comments on Healing and Detoxification

When it comes to long term healing, it’s crucial to address the various sources of toxins that can unknowingly affect their daily lives. From household products and furniture to water, air, food, and personal care items, these environmental toxins can have a profound impact on physical, mental well-being and lifespan.. That is why we’d like to start by discussing how these hidden toxins can influence emotional health and share actionable strategies to reduce their impact. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

Household Cleaners: Many household cleaners contain neurotoxic and carcinogenic chemicals that can impair cognitive function and contribute to mood disorders. Opt for natural alternatives to minimize exposure.

Furniture and Carpets: Chemicals emitted from furniture, carpets, and appliances (like flame retardants and formaldehyde) have been associated with respiratory issues, hormonal disruption, and even neurological problems like memory loss and mood swings.

Water Quality: Contaminants in city water, such as fluoride and chlorine, can affect neurotransmitter function and hormone balance, impacting mood and cognitive health. Consider investing in a water filtration system.

Air Quality: Poor indoor air quality due to trapped chemicals and mold can lead to symptoms like fatigue, irritability, and cognitive impairment, affecting mental clarity and emotional stability.

  1.  Mould Exposure: Mold toxins can disrupt hormonal signaling and cause inflammation, leading to symptoms like anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction.
  2. Toxic Food: Pesticides and herbicides in food, like glyphosate, can negatively impact gut health and contribute to mood disorders by affecting neurotransmitter production.
  3. Plastic Exposure: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in plastics can interfere with hormone regulation, potentially leading to mood swings, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
  4. Mercury Exposure: Mercury from sources like amalgam fillings and contaminated seafood can impair cognitive function and exacerbate mood disorders.
  5. Vaccine Ingredients: Some vaccine ingredients, such as aluminium and formaldehyde, can trigger immune responses that impact neurological health, potentially affecting mood and behaviour.
  6. Personal Care Products: Chemicals like phthalates and parabens in beauty and hygiene products can disrupt hormone balance and contribute to mood disturbances.

To mitigate these risks and support mental health, reduce toxicity and inflammation, we recommend adopting the following strategies: https://blog.drsundardas.com/environmental-toxins-and-your-gut/

  • Choose natural and non-toxic household cleaners, furniture, and personal care products.
  • Invest in water and air filtration systems to reduce exposure to contaminants.
  • Maintain good ventilation in indoor spaces to minimize mould and chemical build-up.
  • Prioritize organic, pesticide-free foods to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.
  • Advocate for safe vaccination practices and consider detoxification protocols when necessary.
  • Encourage the use of glass, stainless steel, or BPA-free containers for food and drinks.
  • Educate clients on the potential mental health impacts of environmental toxins and help them make informed lifestyle choices.

Understanding these connections is crucial for promoting overall health and mental well-being and your gut brain. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity.

I would encourage you to adopt safer alternatives and detoxifying practices can have profound effects on their mental clarity, mood stability, and overall vitality.

Inflammation and your Gut Health

drsundardas   August 12, 2024   No Comments on Inflammation and your Gut Health

Have you ever wondered about the relationship between your gut health and your overall well-being?

Does it feel like no matter how healthy you eat or how many “health tricks” you try…

Your gut pain still feels unbearable?

I´m not talking about mild, occasional stomach cramps. I´m talking about extreme, life-crippling cramps.

Ones that make your gut feel like it’s being squeezed in a vice grip. Where it´s so intense… you feel like passing out in cold sweats. If you’re relying on common remedies to ease this, you might be making a massive mistake.

Most “solutions” are just temporary fixes. They just cover up symptoms rather than addressing the underlying issues. When your gut pain is this severe and persistent. It’s a sign that your gut environment may be severely compromised.

The best way to actually find long-lasting improvement is by rebuilding your gut in the most natural way possible!

We’ve developed a straightforward, protocol that has been scientifically proven to:

• Repair your gut lining—creating a strong barrier against irritants.
https://blog.drsundardas.com/facts-about-leaky-gut-every-person-should-know-to-improve-gut-health/

• Strengthen your microbiome—for better digestion and health.
https://blog.drsundardas.com/the-benefits-of-fermented-foods-for-gut-health/

• Improve nutrient absorption—get more from your food.
https://blog.drsundardas.com/your-gut-brain-and-you/

• Support your immune system—keep illnesses at bay.

• Reduce deadly inflammation—cut down the root of pain.
https://blog.drsundardas.com/environmental-toxins-and-your-gut/

There’s one big problem with inflammation that you won’t hear often. Finding out if you have it, most of the time, requires some detective work! Some signs can be obvious: redness, swelling, or feeling hot to the touch. But, some of the signs can mimic other conditions and are too subtle to notice.

In fact, symptoms like eczema, psoriasis, diarrhoea, constipation, fatigue, depression, arthritis, brain fog, and joint issues all point to one underlying cause…

Chronic inflammation!

So many people are not aware they have any inflammation until they run lab tests.
And do you know the biggest driver of chronic inflammation? A dysfunctional gut!

These symptoms are alarm bells of your body letting you know that something is not right in your gut. And if you continue to ignore your gut health, these inflammatory symptoms will only progress until you’re forced to stop and listen.

Unfortunately, most people don’t know how to stop inflammation in its tracks.

Recent scientific advancements have shed light on a once controversial topic – the legitimacy of leaky gut syndrome (also known as intestinal permeability) and its systemic consequences. Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to understand how this condition impacts not only your digestive system but your entire body!

In our consultations and testing: you will learn:

• About the factors contributing to leaky gut and its association with various health conditions.

• How leaky gut occurs? You will have the opportunity to explore how disruptions in the intestinal barrier can lead to increased permeability, triggering immune responses and inflammation throughout the body.

• How to treat leaky gut? You will discover practical strategies to support and optimize your gut health, including dietary changes, stress management techniques, natural supplements, lifestyle modifications and so much more.

We have helped individuals recover from digestive issues and chronic inflammation with a combination of functional medicine and osteopathic techniques

The Total Trauma Solution

drsundardas   August 5, 2024   No Comments on The Total Trauma Solution

Imagine missing a vacation to Tahiti with your partner because of your debilitating fear of flying. Picture a teen who isolates at home and misses out on formative friendships because of their overwhelming social phobia. Imagine if someone you love failed to get a life-saving medical procedure or had a breakdown because of their nervousness about medical treatments. https://blog.drsundardas.com/why-people-experience-emotional-breakdowns/ 

Untreated phobias and traumas are serious and potentially devastating. As a type of anxiety disorder, they differ from rational fears that protect us from danger. Phobias are excessive, unfounded fears that can disrupt daily life, work performance, personal relationships, and self-esteem. (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/emotional-healing)

They are also quite prevalent, affecting more than 19 million Americans—both children and adults. They are more common in women and girls than men and boys.

Phobias are a type of anxiety disorders. They are intensely exaggerated and illogical fears most often surrounding situations, objects, or places. They are different than the manageable uneasiness you might typically feel when confronted with a potentially dangerous object or situation.

PHOBIA SYMPTOMS

The physical symptoms of phobias include the following:

  • Rapid heartbeat                                                
  • Sweating
  • Shaking or trembling                                        
  • Tightness or pain in the chest area
  • Nausea                                                             
  • Dry mouth
  • Shortness of breath                                          
  • A choking feeling/sensation
  • Chills                                                                 
  • Feeling faint or dizzy
  • Confusion                                                         
  • Panic

Signs of phobias in children may include:

  • Crying               
  • Being clingy                 
  • Exhibiting temper tantrum-like behavior

In addition to these hallmark symptoms, people with phobias may develop or have other mental health disorders. That’s because phobias, over time, impact mental and physical health. While phobias don’t necessarily cause these conditions, they usually precede them and factor into their development:

Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) ,Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Substance use disorders 

There’s no specific cause of phobias, but any of the following can lead to their development:

Genetics: If your family has a phobia or other anxiety disorders, you are at greater risk of having one too.

Trauma exposure: A negative experience in childhood can trigger a phobia. For example, if you fell off a horse, you might develop a fear of horses. https://www.yourmindstrategy.com/LIVE/events/success-permission/)

Learned responses: Interestingly, parents with phobias can transfer their illogical fears to their offspring. If your parent had a fear of heights, for example, you might as well.

Exposure to toxins or infections: Surprisingly, toxins and infections can factor into the development of anxiety disorders, which includes phobias. Common culprits are toxic mould and Lyme disease.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): Like toxins and infections, a concussion can make you more likely to develop an anxiety disorder, such as a phobia. This can create negative neuroplasticity. (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity)                               

Brain-imaging studies clearly indicate that anxiety disorders, such as phobias, are associated with biological changes in the brain. Some studies also show functional differences in the brains of individuals with phobias. In the wake of the COVID epidemic shut down the incidence of mental health issues has sky rocketed. We have helped individuals recover from traumas with a combination of functional medicine and emotional healing techniques.

Release Trauma for your Happily Ever After

drsundardas   July 31, 2024   No Comments on Release Trauma for your Happily Ever After

Ever reflect on moments in your life that linger a little louder in your memory, those instances of regret or actions not taken? These moments form more than just memories, they manifest as physical and emotional burdens within us.

Our brain has a way of replaying these moments, not to torment us, but because unresolved trauma influences how we experience life, health, and even illness.

This unprocessed emotional debris can contribute significantly to chronic health issues—as varied and severe as autoimmune diseases, heart conditions, and even neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease. Conditions like anxiety, depression, chronic pain, fatigue, and many others often trail closely behind.

Most of us tend to push these traumas deep down, hoping out of sight means out of body and mind. However, these traumas linger, subtly shaping our health landscape. This unresolved pain doesn’t just disappear—it embeds itself within, continuously influencing our wellbeing.

As a C-suite executive are your private emotional issues impacting your work life balance? 

We recently had a client who experienced so much anxiety that he would pull up his car off the highway because it was not safe form him to drive. Imagine his relief when after eight weeks of therapy he no longer had to worry about being overcome in the middle of the highway.

Take this step towards liberation from the past—because healing your past traumas is not only about finding relief; it’s about reclaiming joy and wellness in your life.

Trauma is not just “in your head” – it can also extend its reach into your physical health.

Even if you haven’t experienced something experts call “big” trauma, you can still feel the effects of relative trauma in your life.

  • Are you grappling with SIBO or other chronic gut issues? Disruptions in gut microbiota can impact your mental health.
  • Do you suspect that you have been exposed to toxic mould? Mould toxicity can drive nervous system dysregulation
  • Are you numbing, avoiding or distracting yourself? Betrayal can impact your health and relationships, even if it happened years ago.
  • https://blog.drsundardas.com/why-people-experience-emotional-breakdowns/
  • Do you live with chronic pain? Having simple tools to regulate your nervous system can help release chronic pain. (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity)                               

Stress. Infection. Injury. Betrayal. Toxic exposure… No matter how big or seemingly small, any of these can profoundly impact your nervous system and shape your future health.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

This nervous system dysregulation is often the missing link for many who get stuck in their healing and stop making progress.

Is your Diet setting you up for Alzheimer’s?

drsundardas   July 22, 2024   No Comments on Is your Diet setting you up for Alzheimer’s?
Foods Items High in Healthy Omega-3 Fats.

Food serves so many important purposes in our lives. Food-related activities bring us together with the people who are important in our lives. The behavioral disorders related to food create or sustain terrible distress. Food deficiency or deprivation is a source of great suffering.

Much research has been directed at understanding how dietary patterns affect the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and here too food can play a positive, health-improving role…or a destructive and disease-promoting role.

The World Health Organization recently concluded that many cases of cognitive decline could be delayed or prevented through adopting a healthier lifestyle. Physical activity, diet, smoking cessation, and attention to chronic medical diseases are all important contributors to healthier cognitive aging. So, what do we know about food and Alzheimer’s disease? 

The typical western diet is high in total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and processed grains, large amounts of added sugar.

This eating pattern has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. A high intake of saturated and trans fats increases the body’s levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory response, harmful processes which contribute to the development of dementia. Exposure to environmental toxicity can also aggravate the issues. The take-away message? Cut down on total caloric intake, saturated and trans fats, and sugar.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

Next, we know that a healthier diet can protect cognitive functioning while also improving other aspects of health. Most of the research on diet and Alzheimer’s has focused on the Mediterranean diet (MD), an eating pattern that emphasizes healthy fats such as olive oil, fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts, and less dairy food, red meat, butter or margarine, sweetened beverages, and pastries.

Moderate wine consumption is included in some, but not all, European and Middle Eastern populations who have adopted the MD.

In the United States, concern about lifestyle and rampant high blood pressure led National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to propose a set of dietary recommendations known as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Diet.

The DASH Diet emphasizes many MD components as well as a reduction in overall consumption of carbohydrates and sodium. It has been shown to reduce blood pressure.

More recently, the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay Diet, known popularly as the MIND Diet, has been shown to slow down cognitive decline and improve neuroplasticity. The MIND Diet takes elements of MD and DASH and recommends dietary focus on the “good” foods such as whole grains, green leafy and other vegetables, berries, fish, poultry, beans, nuts, and olive oil while minimizing intake of “bad” foods such as red meats, butter, margarine, cheese, fast foods, and sweets.  (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity)                                

One study found that adherents to the MIND Diet demonstrated more successful cognitive aging and the MIND Diet provided even better protection against Alzheimer’s disease in this study than the DASH or MD diets.

Can Vitamins and Supplements Decrease the Risk of Alzheimer’s? Not all that we eat falls into the category of food, and many vitamins or supplements have also been studied in relationship to Alzheimer’s disease risk. We certainly need enough of the essential vitamins such as folic acid, B12, E, and D. Curcumin, omega 3 fatty acids, and cocoa are among the dietary additives still being researched for a deeper understanding of their risks and benefits.

We are currently helping individuals who are in the early stages of neurodegenerative decline improve the quality of their lives.

Are Phobias Running your Life?

drsundardas   July 16, 2024   No Comments on Are Phobias Running your Life?

It’s easy to make light of phobias—until you or someone you love develops one.

Phobias are a type of anxiety disorders. They are intensely exaggerated and illogical fears most often surrounding situations, objects, or places. They are different than the manageable uneasiness you might typically feel when confronted with a potentially dangerous object or situation. They can lead to breakdowns.

https://blog.drsundardas.com/why-people-experience-emotional-breakdowns/

For example, you may feel uneasy looking down from a high place or have a moment of alarm if you encounter a snake or spider. You may feel a little anxious or have negative thoughts when flying or if you enter an enclosed space like when having an MRI exam. These are not phobias.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/emotional-healing

A phobia magnifies fear and anxiety to an unmanageable level. People with this type of mental health disorder will make great efforts to avoid the very places, situations, or things that trigger their overwhelming feelings of dread. They will do this even knowing they have the condition.

There are simple phobias and complex phobias (social phobia and agoraphobia)

Simple Phobias:

A specific phobia involves irrational and pronounced fear related to a specific trigger, which is usually an object, place, or situation. Some people have more than one specific phobia. Currently, experts have recognized more than 500 specific phobias.

Complex Phobias:

About 15 million U.S. adults have social phobias (also known as social anxiety disorders) making it the most common type. An individual with this form of the disorder has distress and anxiety about potential rejection, embarrassment, or humiliation in social interactions which can be traumatic. https://www.yourmindstrategy.com/LIVE/events/success-permission/

They worry people are watching and judging them and are extremely self-conscious. They have trouble making friends, maintaining relationships, and with daily functioning.

For example an individual with agoraphobia fears being trapped in a specific place, situation, or space where there’s no escape or escape is difficult or humiliating. It can also occur in places where no help is available if they start to panic.

Common triggers are being in a crowd, elevator, bus, movie theatre, or train. Distressing feelings may also arise standing in a line or being in an open space like a parking lot.

An agoraphobic will actively avoid the triggering place or situation, insist on a companion, or endure magnified anxiety and fear. If agoraphobia goes untreated, it can lead to an individual being unable to leave their home due to their angst.

Even though there are so many, phobias will usually fit into one of several categories involving fear of animals, situations, natural environment, medical procedures, or something else unspecified.

We have been helping individuals with phobias and anxiety disorders for the last thirty years with our emotional healing programs. At one of our phobia treatment programs we had a lady who was terrified of snakes for all her life.

She could not see a picture. movie or even hear the “s” word before losing control. After the fifteen minute treatment session, she kept testing herself by looking for bigger and bigger snakes. She eventually took a photograph with a python around her neck before she was convinced she was cured. 

We have treatment protocols that include functional medicine and emotional techniques for phobias and other anxiety disorders.

Is Your Cookware Killing You?

drsundardas   July 8, 2024   No Comments on Is Your Cookware Killing You?

Is it possible that your cookware is leaching toxins into your family’s food?

Research indicates that the overwhelming majority of American households are unknowingly using pans laced with a highly toxic chemical resin…

A large group of scientists have issued warnings and many are calling for Teflon to be banned altogether from cooking products & utensils but, for some reason, that hasn’t happened yet. You see the main ingredients in Teflon non-stick pans are something called polyfluoroalkyl substances or PFA’s for short. You may have read that one type of PFA, called PFOA  (Perfluorooctanoic acid), was banned recently. What you may not know is that the companies involved simply tweaked the molecule and used a new and untested type of PFA.

If you use a non-stick Teflon or T-fal pan to cook with, chances are it is BRIMMING with PFAs. In fact, almost use PFAs in some form. And the international scientific community are becoming increasingly alarmed that these substances are linked to:

• Birth Defects           • Hyperthyroidism              • Autoimmune Diseases

• Testicular & Kidney Cancer     • Obesity

The Madrid Statement documents the scientific consensus regarding the persistence and potential for harm of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), and lays out a roadmap to gather needed information and prevent further harm. It was presented at the 2014 Dioxin symposium in Madrid, Spain and signed by more than 250 scientists from 38 countries.

Scientist warned against the dangers of asbestos only to be told it was fine (asbestos causes a deadly type of lung cancer called mesothelioma that was incurable). They called for an end to smoking but the tobacco companies paid doctors to say it was actually good for you. Smoking is now proven to be one of the deadliest things you can do. They told the world to stop using CFCs because it was causing irreversible damage to our atmosphere.  We now have a hole in the ozone layer that is roughly the size of Greenland, causing skin cancer rates in Australia to skyrocket.

Teflon discovered by  Dr Roy J. Plunkett (during the second world war) was repurposed for use in the atom bomb because it was so slippery and resistant to corrosion it was perfect for us in the atomic bomb.

Well, shortly after the war chemical giant Dupont realised PFA’s would be a great way to make a non-stick cooking pan. They trademarked PFA’s under the brand names most Americans are now familiar with, Teflon and T-Fal. Teflon was heralded as a miracle material. Easier to clean, less oil was needed and food didn’t stick to the pan. They trademarked PFA’s under the brand names most Americans are now familiar with, Teflon and T-Fal. Sales of Teflon products skyrocketed. Profits boomed. The company started raking in up to $1 billion dollars in profit a year.

Deep inside Dupont factories where Teflon was being made, people started getting sick as they were poisoned by the forever toxic chemicals. The factory workers called it “Teflon Flu” now well documented as “Polymer fume fever”. Horrible, flu-like symptoms that made them sick with chills, fevers and headaches for days. Just a few whiffs of the toxic fumes coming off the production line would be enough to damage their liver, brain and affect their neuroplasticity.

PFA’s give off toxic fumes when heated above 300 °C that are harmful to humans, leading to the horrible symptoms listed above. Flu like symptoms don’t sound so bad until you realise, that’s only because of how big humans are.  Birds and smaller animals exposed to it, drop dead in minutes. Stop using all black, non-stick cookware.

Yes there is very strong evidence that the very thing you cook your food could be 

poisoning you, causing cancerous growths throughout your body, driving your immune system to turn on itself and causing your metabolism to slow to a crawl meaning no matter what you eat there’s no chance of losing weight.
