Why Do People Develop Allergies to Antibiotics, Other Drugs, Or Even Themselves

hey everyone we are back and we are hey everyone we are back and we are hey everyone we are back and we are actually closing up our series this actually closing up our series this actually closing up our series this month all about allergies so today we're month all about allergies so today we're month all about allergies so today we're actually focusing a bit more about actually focusing a bit more about actually focusing a bit more about talking about allergies that are more talking about allergies that are more talking about allergies that are more related to chemical allergies or also related to chemical allergies or also related to chemical allergies or also known as chemical sensitivities and also known as chemical sensitivities and also known as chemical sensitivities and also how we develop certain allergies that we how we develop certain allergies that we how we develop certain allergies that we have two different types of medications have two different types of medications have two different types of medications prescriptions or even antibiotics so prescriptions or even antibiotics so prescriptions or even antibiotics so when it comes to you know the overall when it comes to you know the overall when it comes to you know the overall immune function and the immune reaction immune function and the immune reaction immune function and the immune reaction that occurs that triggers different that occurs that triggers different that occurs that triggers different types of allergies it's a very similar types of allergies it's a very similar types of allergies it's a very similar cascade that's happening but there is a cascade that's happening but there is a cascade that's happening but there is a very different like root cause or very different like root cause or very different like root cause or exposure when it comes to how we develop exposure when it comes to how we develop exposure when it comes to how we develop sensitivities to opportu chemicals as sensitivities to opportu chemicals as sensitivities to opportu chemicals as well as to different types of well as to different types of well as to different types of medications so today's focus is more so medications so today's focus is more so medications so today's focus is more so understanding how we become chemically understanding how we become chemically understanding how we become chemically sensitive and for those of you that are sensitive and for those of you that are sensitive and for those of you that are kind of unsure what that actually means kind of unsure what that actually means kind of unsure what that actually means it's more so the people that are really it's more so the people that are really it's more so the people that are really struggling with the sense of different struggling with the sense of different struggling with the sense of different types of fragrances they can't wear types of fragrances they can't wear types of fragrances they can't wear perfume anymore they're having a lot of perfume anymore they're having a lot of perfume anymore they're having a lot of issues with different types of personal issues with different types of personal issues with different types of personal products everything from shampoos products everything from shampoos products everything from shampoos conditioners they're having reactions to conditioners they're having reactions to conditioners they're having reactions to different types of detergents that are different types of detergents that are different types of detergents that are being used on their clothes or they being used on their clothes or they being used on their clothes or they can't dry clean their clothes anymore so can't dry clean their clothes anymore so can't dry clean their clothes anymore so there is a variety of different there is a variety of different there is a variety of different reactions that we can have that really reactions that we can have that really reactions that we can have that really don't necessarily come back to say the don't necessarily come back to say the don't necessarily come back to say the material but it comes back to the material but it comes back to the material but it comes back to the chemicals that are on the material or chemicals that are on the material or chemicals that are on the material or the chemicals that are in the personal the chemicals that are in the personal the chemicals that are in the personal products that we are using products that we are using products that we are using so as we start this conversation tonight so as we start this conversation tonight so as we start this conversation tonight hey we're really going to understand a hey we're really going to understand a hey we're really going to understand a bit more about how does this start in bit more about how does this start in bit more about how does this start in the first place and what are some of the the first place and what are some of the the first place and what are some of the things that we can do about it and what things that we can do about it and what things that we can do about it and what are the things that you are not always are the things that you are not always are the things that you are not always being told to connect the dots as to why being told to connect the dots as to why being told to connect the dots as to why you've become chemically sensitive you've become chemically sensitive you've become chemically sensitive because when it comes to these chemical because when it comes to these chemical because when it comes to these chemical sensitivities these are on the rise and sensitivities these are on the rise and sensitivities these are on the rise and people are reacting through a variety of people are reacting through a variety of people are reacting through a variety of different things but what I find the different things but what I find the different things but what I find the most fascinating is the people that come most fascinating is the people that come most fascinating is the people that come through my doors they don't always know through my doors they don't always know through my doors they don't always know that they're chemically sensitive they that they're chemically sensitive they that they're chemically sensitive they know that they're having negative know that they're having negative know that they're having negative reactions and they may have been reactions and they may have been reactions and they may have been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition diagnosed with an autoimmune condition diagnosed with an autoimmune condition but then as we dig deeper and ask that but then as we dig deeper and ask that but then as we dig deeper and ask that our questions it actually turns out that our questions it actually turns out that our questions it actually turns out that they're working in a profession that is they're working in a profession that is they're working in a profession that is actually exposing them to a variety of actually exposing them to a variety of actually exposing them to a variety of different toxins that are making them different toxins that are making them different toxins that are making them reactive and honestly one of the most reactive and honestly one of the most reactive and honestly one of the most common is going to be a hair stylist and common is going to be a hair stylist and common is going to be a hair stylist and women that work in salons you know women that work in salons you know women that work in salons you know there's everything from men and women there's everything from men and women there's everything from men and women that are working in construction they're that are working in construction they're that are working in construction they're doing tiling work mechanics even people doing tiling work mechanics even people doing tiling work mechanics even people that are developing film so there is a that are developing film so there is a that are developing film so there is a lot of different professions that are lot of different professions that are lot of different professions that are actually connected to the development of actually connected to the development of actually connected to the development of these chemical sensitivities but in these chemical sensitivities but in these chemical sensitivities but in addition to that there is a lot of addition to that there is a lot of addition to that there is a lot of connection to a variety of autoimmune connection to a variety of autoimmune connection to a variety of autoimmune conditions and even just I would say conditions and even just I would say conditions and even just I would say mystery symptoms the people that just mystery symptoms the people that just mystery symptoms the people that just don't feel right but don't always really don't feel right but don't always really don't feel right but don't always really understand what's going on in their understand what's going on in their understand what's going on in their systems so just a little bit of a systems so just a little bit of a systems so just a little bit of a background on myself and integrate a background on myself and integrate a background on myself and integrate a wellness group which is the practice wellness group which is the practice wellness group which is the practice that I own and co-manage with dr. Nick that I own and co-manage with dr. Nick that I own and co-manage with dr. Nick so we started this practice it's crazy so we started this practice it's crazy so we started this practice it's crazy to say but literally nine years ago and to say but literally nine years ago and to say but literally nine years ago and really since day one we have been asking really since day one we have been asking really since day one we have been asking better questions and really always better questions and really always better questions and really always pressing the envelope with how we looked pressing the envelope with how we looked pressing the envelope with how we looked at our patients and also how do we work at our patients and also how do we work at our patients and also how do we work our patients and because we've always our patients and because we've always our patients and because we've always asked better questions it really led us asked better questions it really led us asked better questions it really led us down a road of going from this more down a road of going from this more down a road of going from this more traditional type of social medicine traditional type of social medicine traditional type of social medicine practice into a fully integrative practice into a fully integrative practice into a fully integrative practice and what I mean by that is we practice and what I mean by that is we practice and what I mean by that is we kept hitting roadblocks with working kept hitting roadblocks with working kept hitting roadblocks with working with the diet working with nutrition with the diet working with nutrition with the diet working with nutrition working with supplements and those working with supplements and those working with supplements and those roadblocks led to the evolution of roadblocks led to the evolution of roadblocks led to the evolution of learning more and understanding that learning more and understanding that learning more and understanding that there's an emotional side of things there's an emotional side of things there's an emotional side of things understanding there's an energetic side understanding there's an energetic side understanding there's an energetic side of things of things of things understanding that neurology plays a understanding that neurology plays a understanding that neurology plays a role the physical body and it's not role the physical body and it's not role the physical body and it's not always just about a good diet and always just about a good diet and always just about a good diet and supplements because those of you that supplements because those of you that supplements because those of you that are probably listening right now maybe are probably listening right now maybe are probably listening right now maybe you've been there done that maybe you've you've been there done that maybe you've you've been there done that maybe you've taken a bunch of supplements maybe you taken a bunch of supplements maybe you taken a bunch of supplements maybe you went an elimination diet maybe you did a went an elimination diet maybe you did a went an elimination diet maybe you did a cleanse and you felt ok and then you hit cleanse and you felt ok and then you hit cleanse and you felt ok and then you hit a plateau so we hit those plateaus and a a plateau so we hit those plateaus and a a plateau so we hit those plateaus and a cap toss really digging deeper but we cap toss really digging deeper but we cap toss really digging deeper but we also always thought beyond systems and also always thought beyond systems and also always thought beyond systems and what I mean by that is it's not about what I mean by that is it's not about what I mean by that is it's not about taking apart the body and thinking that taking apart the body and thinking that taking apart the body and thinking that oh it's just about the gut and I just oh it's just about the gut and I just oh it's just about the gut and I just have irritable bowel syndrome and I have have irritable bowel syndrome and I have have irritable bowel syndrome and I have to question those two things very much to question those two things very much to question those two things very much can be connected and I'm not gonna say can be connected and I'm not gonna say can be connected and I'm not gonna say they're connected in every single they're connected in every single they're connected in every single patient but what you need to understand patient but what you need to understand patient but what you need to understand is that your body as a whole integration is that your body as a whole integration is that your body as a whole integration of systems that are constantly affecting of systems that are constantly affecting of systems that are constantly affecting each other and constantly communicating each other and constantly communicating each other and constantly communicating with each other so that's really why I with each other so that's really why I with each other so that's really why I classify myself at this point in classify myself at this point in classify myself at this point in integrative physician and I work with a integrative physician and I work with a integrative physician and I work with a variety of different types of people variety of different types of people variety of different types of people allergies is definitely one thing that I allergies is definitely one thing that I allergies is definitely one thing that I see very often in my practice but I will see very often in my practice but I will see very often in my practice but I will tell you this is I do not see allergies tell you this is I do not see allergies tell you this is I do not see allergies that live by themselves I don't see a that live by themselves I don't see a that live by themselves I don't see a patient who I'm just like you just have patient who I'm just like you just have patient who I'm just like you just have allergies and we're just gonna deal with allergies and we're just gonna deal with allergies and we're just gonna deal with allergies these allergies are always allergies these allergies are always allergies these allergies are always being triggered by something else some being triggered by something else some being triggered by something else some foundational issue or root cause and foundational issue or root cause and foundational issue or root cause and that foundational issue very often is that foundational issue very often is that foundational issue very often is going to be some going to be some going to be some type of toxicity or a toxicity that is type of toxicity or a toxicity that is type of toxicity or a toxicity that is creating an immune reaction and when it creating an immune reaction and when it creating an immune reaction and when it comes to those of you that are comes to those of you that are comes to those of you that are chemically sensitive you cannot tolerate chemically sensitive you cannot tolerate chemically sensitive you cannot tolerate the smell of a perfume you cannot the smell of a perfume you cannot the smell of a perfume you cannot tolerate the smell of cleaning products tolerate the smell of cleaning products tolerate the smell of cleaning products you cannot tolerate different detergents you cannot tolerate different detergents you cannot

tolerate those things because you can't tolerate those things because you're toxic with those types of you're toxic with those types of you're toxic with those types of chemicals and I know that might sound chemicals and I know that might sound chemicals and I know that might sound crazy but as I continue this crazy but as I continue this crazy but as I continue this presentation what you're gonna presentation what you're gonna presentation what you're gonna understand is it's not difficult to get understand is it's not difficult to get understand is it's not difficult to get exposed to these things it's not exposed to these things it's not exposed to these things it's not difficult to become toxic with these difficult to become toxic with these difficult to become toxic with these certain types of chemicals so in certain types of chemicals so in certain types of chemicals so in addition to my day-to-day job of working addition to my day-to-day job of working addition to my day-to-day job of working with patients of recent accomplishment with patients of recent accomplishment with patients of recent accomplishment that's really exciting is the launch of that's really exciting is the launch of that's really exciting is the launch of the Institute for Integrative Wellness the Institute for Integrative Wellness the Institute for Integrative Wellness this is something that I feel so this is something that I feel so this is something that I feel so passionate about because for those of passionate about because for those of passionate about because for those of you listening right now you know most of you listening right now you know most of you listening right now you know most of the people that listen to my webinars or the people that listen to my webinars or the people that listen to my webinars or are on Instagram live with me you know I are on Instagram live with me you know I are on Instagram live with me you know I get a lot of outrage after this and get

much clarity for me this was you know so for me this was you know so for me this was you know so life-changing and I'm so excited about life-changing and I'm so excited about life-changing and I'm so excited about what lies ahead and I really want other what lies ahead and I really want other what lies ahead and I really want other physicians to be you know looking at the physicians to be you know looking at the physicians to be you know looking at the body from an integrative perspective and body from an integrative perspective and body from an integrative perspective and really understanding all of the things really understanding all of the things really understanding all of the things that I've learned over the past 10 years that I've learned over the past 10 years that I've learned over the past 10 years and that is what the Institute is all and that is what the Institute is all and that is what the Institute is all about is sharing that because we need about is sharing that because we need about is sharing that because we need doctors to be stepping up and doctors to be stepping up and doctors to be stepping up and understanding why their patients are understanding why their patients are understanding why their patients are sick why they're hitting roadblocks with sick why they're hitting roadblocks with sick why they're hitting roadblocks with your treatment protocols and what are your treatment protocols and what are your treatment protocols and what are the aspects that are missing in order to the aspects that are missing in order to the aspects that are missing in order to really revolutionize health care so with really revolutionize health care so with really revolutionize health care so with all that being said you might be all that being said you might be all that being said you might be thinking well how did you get into this thinking well how did you get into this thinking well how did you get into this you know why do you do what you do and I you

health and in my mind I was the picture of health according to what the picture of health according to what the picture of health according to what I knew at that time and when my testing I knew at that time and when my testing I knew at that time and when my testing came back I realized that I actually had came back I realized that I actually had came back I realized that I actually had a lot of issues and I had everything a lot of issues and I had everything a lot of issues and I had everything from mercury toxicity to parasite issues from mercury toxicity to parasite issues from mercury toxicity to parasite issues later down the line I realized I had a later down the line I realized I had a later down the line I realized I had a lot of neurological involvement because lot of

they're not even on your radar and it's funny I know this because when and it's funny I know this because when and it's funny I know this because when I sit across from my patient I can tell I sit across from my patient I can tell I sit across from my patient I can tell they can't breathe and there I'm just they can't breathe and there I'm just they can't breathe and there I'm just like how are your sinuses still it's like how are your sinuses still it's like how are your sinuses still it's fine and then when we start doing our fine and then when we start doing our fine and then when we start doing our preliminary testing we find that they do preliminary testing we find that they do preliminary testing we find that they do have sinus congestion but they've had it have sinus congestion but they've had it have sinus congestion but they've had it for so many years they don't know any for so many years they don't know any for so many years they don't know any different they

to be talking to you about things going to be talking to you about things that you don't already know I'm not that you don't already know I'm not that you don't already know I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that all gonna sit here and tell you that all gonna sit here and tell you that all allergies come from the gut and then all allergies come from the gut and then all allergies come from the gut and then all you have to do is go on an elimination you have to do is go on an elimination you have to do is go on an elimination die and everything's gonna be great die and everything's gonna be great die and everything's gonna be great because it's not that simple it's not because it's not that simple it's not because it's not that simple it's not that blanketed it's not that black and that

that you have no frickin clue your fault that you have no frickin clue your fault that you have no frickin clue as to why you have so many allergies it as to why you have so many allergies it as to why you have so many allergies it is not your fault that you break out in is not your fault that you break out in is not your fault that you break out in hives every time and you take a certain hives every time and you take a certain hives every time and you take a certain type of drug and you don't know why it's type of drug and you don't know why it's type of drug and you don't know why it's happening it's not your fault that now happening it's not your fault that now happening it's not your fault that now you have to be the person that says you have to be the person that says you have to be the person that says don't wear perfume around me because I'm don't wear perfume around me because I'm don't wear perfume around me because I'm gonna get a splitting migraine or puke gonna get a splitting migraine or puke gonna get a splitting migraine or puke so it's not your fault that you don't so it's not your fault that you don't so it's not your fault that you don't know how they happen why they happen and know how they happen why they happen and know how they happen why they happen and what to do about it there is a lot of what to do about it there is a lot of what to do about it there is a lot of emotion out there there's a lot of mixed emotion out there there's a lot of mixed emotion out there there's a lot of mixed information out there this give me your information out there this give me your information out there this give me your attention because I'm not gonna sit here attention because I'm not gonna sit here attention because I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that everything starts in and tell you that everything starts in and tell you that everything starts in the gut is one more functional medicine the gut is one more functional medicine the gut is one more functional medicine doctor just says how everything is about doctor just says how everything is about doctor just says how everything is about the gun I'm going to rip my hair out and the gun I'm going to rip my hair out and the gun I'm going to rip my hair out and I say that with love but I used to be I say that with love but I used to be I say that with love but I used to be that person and then I realized how much that person and then I realized how much that person and then I realized how much more there was the story when it comes more there was the story when it comes more there was the story when it comes to why these allergies develop in the to why these allergies develop in the to why these allergies develop in the first place so another big aspect to first place so another big aspect to first place so another big aspect to understand before we really start to understand before we really start to understand before we really start to talk about these chemical allergies and talk about these chemical allergies and talk about these chemical allergies and why they exist is that when we start to why they exist is that when we start to why they exist is that when we start to think about allergies again it's not think about allergies again it's not think about allergies again it's not that when a person comes that when a person comes that when a person comes they come in with allergies they're just they come in with allergies they're just they come in with allergies they're just an allergy patient that's not what it is an allergy patient that's not what it is an allergy patient that's not what it is these people have an immune system that these people have an immune system that these people have an immune system that is being triggered and it's being is being triggered and it's being is being triggered and it's being triggered because of something else triggered because of something else triggered because of something else that's going on in the body or maybe that's going on in the body or maybe that's going on in the body or maybe more than one variable that's going on more than one variable that's going on more than one variable that's going on in the body so a lot of this comes down in the body so a lot of this comes down in the body so a lot of this comes down to really understanding how all of the to really understanding how all of the to really understanding how all of the systems work together and not separating systems work together and not separating systems work together and not separating out the gut from the brain and the brain out the gut from the brain and the brain out the gut from the brain and the brain from the heart and you know the immune from the heart and you know the immune from the heart and you know the immune system from the lymph nodes it's really system from the lymph nodes it's really system from the lymph nodes it's really understanding that everything is working understanding that everything is working understanding that everything is working synergistically together and you know synergistically together and you know synergistically together and you know the biggest thing that we the biggest the biggest thing that we the biggest the biggest thing that we the biggest mistake that we make is that we mistake that we make is that we mistake that we make is that we segregate out the systems and then we segregate out the systems and then we segregate out the systems and then we don't always understand that there is don't always understand that there is don't always understand that there is going to be a cause and effect so if going to be a cause and effect so if going to be a cause and effect so if you're a person that has depression but you're a person that has depression but you're a person that has depression but you're also a person that maybe has you're also a person that maybe has you're also a person that maybe has low-grade gut issues maybe it's mild low-grade gut issues maybe it's mild low-grade gut issues maybe it's mild maybe you just have you know occasional maybe you just have you know occasional maybe you just have you know occasional bloating gas maybe you have a low-grade bloating gas maybe you have a low-grade bloating gas maybe you have a low-grade irritable bowel syndrome maybe you have irritable bowel syndrome maybe you have irritable bowel syndrome maybe you have a full-blown crohn's disease but those a full-blown crohn's disease but those a full-blown crohn's disease but those gut issues are going to stop start gut issues are going to stop start gut issues are going to stop start compromising how well you produce compromising how well you produce compromising how well you produce certain neurotransmitters it's going to certain neurotransmitters it's going to certain neurotransmitters it's going to compromise how well you produce compromise how well you produce compromise how well you produce serotonin it's even going to compromise serotonin it's even going to compromise serotonin it's even going to compromise how well you produce GABA how well you produce GABA how well you produce GABA so pretty much serotonin is that so pretty much serotonin is that so pretty much serotonin is that feel-good hormone that gives you joy feel-good hormone that gives you joy feel-good hormone that gives you joy that allows you to feel happiness and that allows you to feel happiness and that allows you to feel happiness and then your GABA I call it the then your GABA I call it the then your GABA I call it the anti-anxiety hormone anti-anxiety hormone anti-anxiety hormone it's what calms you down and keeps you it's what calms you down and keeps you it's what calms you down and keeps you out of this fight-or-flight state so if out of this fight-or-flight state so if out of this fight-or-flight state so if you have a lack of bowles you're gonna you have a lack of bowles you're gonna you have a lack of bowles you're gonna feel anxious you're gonna feel depressed feel anxious you're gonna feel depressed feel anxious you're gonna feel depressed but it's not because of a psychological but it's not because of a psychological but it's not because of a psychological issue it's because of a gut issue so we issue it's because of a gut issue so we issue it's because of a gut issue so we really need to start understanding that really need to start understanding that really need to start understanding that you can easily be trying to support you can easily be trying to support you can easily be trying to support something but you might be supporting something but you might be supporting something but you might be supporting the effect and you might be completely the effect and you might be completely the effect and you might be completely overlooking the cause so at this point overlooking the cause so at this point overlooking the cause so at this point we need to be our own health advocates we need to be our own health advocates we need to be our own health advocates because not every physician is educated because not every physician is educated because not every physician is educated in this way to understand how it all in this way to understand how it all in this way to understand how it all works together and it's because these works together and it's because these works together and it's because these systems are complicated you know systems are complicated you know systems are complicated you know understanding the you know your understanding the you know your understanding the you know your and the kidneys inside and out there's a and the kidneys inside and out there's a and the kidneys inside and out there's a lot of pathology associated with one lot of pathology associated with one lot of pathology associated with one organ system so I understand why we've organ system so I understand why we've organ system so I understand why we've segregated everything out but it's also segregated everything out but it's also segregated everything out but it's also allowed us to run into roadblocks as to allowed us to run into roadblocks as to allowed us to run into roadblocks as to why there is such a lack of you know why there is such a lack of you know why there is such a lack of you know cures and there's a lack of effective cures and there's a lack of effective cures and there's a lack of effective treatment nowadays so a couple of really treatment nowadays so a couple of really treatment nowadays so a couple of really fascinating things about allergies as a fascinating things about allergies as a fascinating things about allergies as a whole so number one allergies including whole so number one allergies including whole so number one allergies including chemical allergies can start in the womb chemical allergies can start in the womb chemical allergies can start in the womb when you actually start digging into the when you actually start digging into the when you actually start digging into the research and you start looking at the research and you start looking at the research and you start looking at the testing they've done on the amniotic testing they've done on the amniotic testing they've done on the amniotic fluid so the amniotic fluid is the fluid fluid so the amniotic fluid is the fluid fluid so the amniotic fluid is the fluid that the baby is essentially floating in that the baby is essentially floating in that the baby is essentially floating in through the duration of the pregnancy so through the duration of the pregnancy so through the duration of the pregnancy so they have found upwards of one hundred they have found upwards of one hundred they have found upwards of one hundred and seventy two different types of and seventy two different types of and seventy two different types of chemicals in the amniotic fluid aka in chemicals in the amniotic fluid aka in chemicals in the amniotic fluid aka in the home of your developing baby the home of your developing baby the home of your developing baby one of the primary things that was found one of the primary things that was found one of the primary things that was found in 30 percent of the samples was DDT DDT in 30 percent of the samples was DDT DDT in 30 percent of the samples was DDT DDT is a an aggressive harmful type of is a an aggressive harmful type of is a an aggressive harmful type of pesticide that they have told us was pesticide that they have told us was pesticide that they have told us was stopped was they stopped using in the stopped was they stopped using in the stopped was they stopped using in the 70s but there is still traces of it 70s but there is still traces of it 70s but there is still traces of it found in amniotic fluid there's traces found in amniotic fluid there's traces found in amniotic fluid there's traces of it found in certain bodies of water of it found in certain bodies of water of it found in certain bodies of water it's found in soil it's found in so many it's found in soil it's found in so many it's found in soil it's found in so many more places than you realize so when we more places than you realize so when we more places than you realize so when we talk about you know these chemical talk about you know these chemical talk about you know these chemical allergies or these kids that are allergies or these kids that are allergies or these kids that are developing these neurological conditions developing these neurological conditions developing these neurological conditions at such young ages this literally can be at such young ages this literally can be at such young ages this literally can be starting in the womb this is not starting in the womb this is not starting in the womb this is not necessarily about what happened to your necessarily about what happened to your necessarily about what happened to your baby after they were born in addition to baby after they were born in addition to baby after they were born in addition to that you know when we're talking about that you know when we're talking about that you know when we're talking about environmental and medication allergies environmental and medication allergies environmental and medication allergies that one of the biggest reasons for mold that one of the biggest reasons for mold that one of the biggest reasons for mold toxicity or antibiotic allergies or I toxicity or antibiotic allergies or I toxicity or antibiotic allergies or I should say mold allergies or antibiotic should say mold allergies or antibiotic should say mold allergies or antibiotic allergies is due to mold toxicity allergies is due to mold toxicity allergies is due to mold toxicity yes glyphosate is found in the fluid as yes glyphosate is found in the fluid as yes glyphosate is found in the fluid as well so for those of you that are well so for those of you that are well so for those of you that are watching watching watching like bossy is clay saucy is the primary like bossy is clay saucy is the primary like bossy is clay saucy is the primary active ingredient in roundup active ingredient in roundup active ingredient in roundup so roundup is something that is being so roundup is something that is being so roundup is something that is being used heavily in farming at this point in used heavily in farming at this point in used heavily in farming at this point in time and like bossy is such a aggressive time and like bossy is such a aggressive time and like bossy is such a aggressive is not the right word but it's it's such is not the right word but it's it's such is not the right word but it's it's such a a potent type of chemical that once it a a potent type of chemical that once it a a potent type of chemical that once it gets into the body or get into tissue gets into the body or get into tissue gets into the body or get into tissue it's actually very difficult to get it it's actually very difficult to get it it's actually very difficult to get it out and what's very fascinating for out and what's very fascinating for out and what's very fascinating for those of you that are listening right those of you that are listening right those of you that are listening right now that it may be gone down the now that it may be gone down the now that it may be gone down the functional medicine training and maybe functional medicine training and maybe functional medicine training and maybe you have done a stool sample of some you have done a stool sample of some you have done a stool sample of some sort and you've had your microbiome of sort and you've had your microbiome of sort and you've had your microbiome of your gut chat you may have found that your gut chat you may have found that your gut chat you may have found that you had a lot of abnormal or high levels you had a lot of abnormal or high levels you had a lot of abnormal or high levels of abnormal bacteria or dysbiotic of abnormal bacteria or dysbiotic of abnormal bacteria or dysbiotic bacteria so maybe you have high levels bacteria so maybe you have high levels bacteria so maybe you have high levels of e.coli maybe you had high levels of of e.coli maybe you had high levels of of e.coli maybe you had high levels of Salmonella maybe you even had Salmonella maybe you even had Salmonella maybe you even had Clostridium difficile at one point Clostridium difficile at one point Clostridium difficile at one point that's the type of bacteria that causes that's the type of bacteria that causes that's the type of bacteria that causes like chronic diarrhea and can actually like chronic diarrhea and can actually like chronic diarrhea and can actually be fatal so maybe you had all these be fatal so maybe you had all these be fatal so maybe you had all these levels of high or high levels of bad levels of high or high levels of bad levels of high or high levels of bad bacteria but you were bottomed out in bacteria but you were bottomed out in bacteria but you were bottomed out in your probiotics which is the good your probiotics which is the good your probiotics which is the good bacteria so if you have that seesaw of bacteria so if you have that seesaw of bacteria so if you have that seesaw of too much bad and not enough good one of too much bad and not enough good one of too much bad and not enough good one of the primary causes of that is actually the primary causes of that is actually the primary causes of that is actually glyphosate that has made its way into glyphosate that has made its way into glyphosate that has made its way into your gastrointestinal system from the your gastrointestinal system from the your gastrointestinal system from the food that you are consuming and they've food that you are consuming and they've food that you are consuming and they've actually proven this at this point that actually proven this at this point that actually proven this at this point that the two specific strains that are going the two specific strains that are going the two specific strains that are going to be very elevated as Salmonella and to be very elevated as Salmonella and to be very elevated as Salmonella and Clostridium species so you might be Clostridium species so you might be Clostridium species so you might be working with someone and trying to clean working with someone and trying to clean working with someone and trying to clean up the gut get rid of the bad bacteria up the gut get rid of the bad bacteria up the gut get rid of the bad bacteria kill off your small intestinal bacterial kill off your small intestinal bacterial kill off your small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and you keep running into overgrowth and you keep running into overgrowth and you keep running into roadblocks and you keep getting so roadblocks and you keep getting so roadblocks and you keep getting so frustrated because you're just like I'm frustrated because you're just like I'm frustrated because you're just like I'm doing all the right things and I cut doing all the right things and I cut doing all the right things and I cut everything out and I I'm gluten free everything out and I I'm gluten free everything out and I I'm gluten free dairy free this that the other thing I'm dairy free this that the other thing I'm dairy free this that the other thing I'm taking all these supplements I still taking all these supplements I still taking all these supplements I still feel like feel like feel like and it's because you actually have a and it's because you actually have a and it's because you actually have a toxic gun it's not because it's all toxic gun it's not because it's all toxic gun it's not because it's all about the bacteria so we need to start about the bacteria so we need to start about the bacteria so we need to start understanding that toxicity is a huge understanding that toxicity is a huge understanding that toxicity is a huge player in this day and age and it is not player in this day and age and it is not player in this day and age and it is not something to be overlooked anymore something to be overlooked anymore something to be overlooked anymore because it's being overlooked all the because it's being overlooked all the because it's being overlooked all the time and when it comes to this whole time and when it comes to this whole time and when it comes to this whole mold conversation mold conversation mold conversation I literally have done quite a few I literally have done quite a few I literally have done quite a few webinars elaborating on this topic of webinars elaborating on this topic of webinars elaborating on this topic of mold but when you have an allergy to mold but when you have an allergy to mold but when you have an allergy to penicillin amoxicillin and Basilian or penicillin amoxicillin and Basilian or penicillin amoxicillin and Basilian or you get skin prick testing and they tell you get skin prick testing and they tell you get skin prick testing and they tell you you're allergic to dust or mold you you you're allergic to dust or mold you you you're allergic to dust or mold you have to understand that you have to have have to understand that you have to have have to understand that you have to have toxic levels in your body in order to toxic levels in your body in order to toxic levels in your body in order to create an immune reaction which would create an immune reaction which would create an immune reaction which would then cause the allergy so some of the then cause the allergy so some of the then cause the allergy so some of the primary ways that we are being exposed primary ways that we are being exposed primary ways that we are being exposed to mold is through food as well so there to mold is through food as well so there to mold is through food as well so there are many many things that we are eating are many many things that we are eating are many many things that we are eating that naturally get infected with fungus that naturally get infected with fungus that naturally get infected with fungus so wheat corn grains rice like all of so wheat corn grains rice like all of so wheat corn grains rice like all of these different types of crops are these different types of crops are these different types of crops are actually growing being infected with actually growing being infected with actually growing being infected with fungus the fungus is not being monitored fungus the fungus is not being monitored fungus the fungus is not being monitored and these foods are just going right and these foods are just going right and these foods are just going right into the food supply and making its way into the food supply and making its way into the food supply and making its way into your grocery stores so if you think into your grocery stores so if you think into your grocery stores so if you think that you are mold free chances are you that you are mold free chances are you that you are mold free chances are you are not because it is way more prevalent are not because it is way more prevalent are not because it is way more prevalent in the food than you realize and this is in the food than you realize and this is in the food than you realize and this is definitely going to be a culprit behind definitely going to be a culprit behind definitely going to be a culprit behind why you make a reaction to certain why you make a reaction to certain why you make a reaction to certain antibiotics and also might be why you antibiotics and also might be why you antibiotics and also might be why you have a mold allergy the other thing too have a mold allergy the other thing too have a mold allergy the other thing too is when it comes to antibiotics I is when it comes to antibiotics I is when it comes to antibiotics I definitely find that that is one of the definitely find that that is one of the definitely find that that is one of the primary the primary prescriptions that primary the primary prescriptions that primary the primary prescriptions that people have allergies to that cause people have allergies to that cause people have allergies to that cause eczema breakouts high breakouts even eczema breakouts high breakouts even eczema breakouts high breakouts even throat closing situations but there are throat closing situations but there are throat closing situations but there are a lot of other medications that people a lot of other medications that people a lot of other medications that people will react to and the thing is is will react to and the thing is is will react to and the thing is is sometimes it's not necessarily a sometimes it's not necessarily a sometimes it's not necessarily a the active ingredient in the medication the active ingredient in the medication the active ingredient in the medication but a lot of times it's about the but a lot of times it's about the but a lot of times it's about the inactive ingredients and that in active inactive ingredients and that in active inactive ingredients and that in active ingredients in these medications are ingredients in these medications are ingredients in these medications are things like red food dye blue food dye things like red food dye blue food dye things like red food dye blue food dye gluten gluten gluten so those of you listening right now or so those of you listening right now or so those of you listening right now or know someone on thyroid medication know someone on thyroid medication know someone on thyroid medication synthroid specifically synthroid has synthroid specifically synthroid has synthroid specifically synthroid has gluten in it I cannot tell you how many gluten in it I cannot tell you how many gluten in it I cannot tell you how many people either come to me and say I am people either come to me and say I am people either come to me and say I am celiac or where we test them and find celiac or where we test them and find celiac or where we test them and find out that they have celiac and they've out that they have celiac and they've out that they have celiac and they've been prescribed synthroid and their been prescribed synthroid and their been prescribed synthroid and their endocrinologist doesn't even know that endocrinologist doesn't even know that endocrinologist doesn't even know that it has center it has gluten in it so we it has center it has gluten in it so we it has center it has gluten in it so we really need to start looking at the really need to start looking at the really need to start looking at the inactive ingredients in these inactive ingredients in these inactive ingredients in these medications because that might be a medications because that might be a medications because that might be a culprit for why you're so tired it might culprit for why you're so tired it might culprit for why you're so tired it might be a culprit for why you have seasonal be a culprit for why you have seasonal be a culprit for why you have seasonal allergies it might be a culprit for why allergies it might be a culprit for why allergies it might be a culprit for why your stomach hurts it's very very much your stomach hurts it's very very much your stomach hurts it's very very much can be easy in who is about these chemical allergies who is about these chemical allergies who is about these chemical allergies for the people that are listening that for the people that are listening that for the people that are listening that are super sensitive to perfumes you're are super sensitive to perfumes you're are super sensitive to perfumes you're super sensitive to cleaners bleach and super sensitive to cleaners bleach and super sensitive to cleaners bleach and other types of chemicals you have to other types of chemicals you have to other types of chemicals you have to understand that this is not necessarily understand that this is not necessarily understand that this is not necessarily just about being an allergy but these just about being an allergy but these just about being an allergy but these types of reactions actually affect the types of reactions actually affect the types of reactions actually affect the cranial nerves which means that you are cranial nerves which means that you are cranial nerves which means that you are having a neurological reaction to these having a neurological reaction to these having a neurological reaction to these different chemicals it's actually called different chemicals it's actually called different chemicals it's actually called vasomotor vanna vazhi so when you're vasomotor vanna vazhi so when you're vasomotor vanna vazhi so when you're having a over activation or a negative having a over activation or a negative having a over activation or a negative trigger to the olfactory nerve which is trigger to the olfactory nerve which is trigger to the olfactory nerve which is the cranial nerve that controls your the cranial nerve that controls your the cranial nerve that controls your smell that can be triggered by these smell that can be triggered by these smell that can be triggered by these chemicals but it's actually creating a chemicals but it's actually creating a chemicals but it's actually creating a negative response to the brain so when negative response to the brain so when negative response to the brain so when you have these chemical allergies we you have these chemical allergies we you have these chemical allergies we need to start thinking bigger we need to need to start thinking bigger we need to need to start thinking bigger we need to think about is this actually affecting think about is this actually affecting think about is this actually affecting your neurology is this making you have your neurology is this making you have your neurology is this making you have brain fog is this making you lose your brain fog is this making you lose your brain fog is this making you lose your memory is this making you susceptible to memory is this making you susceptible to memory is this making you susceptible to conditions like multiple sclerosis or conditions like multiple sclerosis or conditions like multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's or dementia so we are living Alzheimer's or dementia so we are living Alzheimer's or dementia so we are living in a world that those conditions are on in a world that those conditions are on in a world that those conditions are on the rise there are so many people the rise there are so many people the rise there are so many people struggling from a neurological struggling from a neurological struggling from a neurological perspective ask your friends literally perspective ask your friends literally perspective ask your friends literally everyone feels like crap everyone's everyone feels like crap everyone's everyone feels like crap everyone's tired everyone's foggy I have people in tired everyone's foggy I have people in tired everyone's foggy I have people in their 20s that literally cannot remember their 20s that literally cannot remember their 20s that literally cannot remember what they ate two days prior and you what they ate two days prior and you what they ate two days prior and you know it's crazy I was in Huntington know it's crazy I was in Huntington know it's crazy I was in Huntington Beach a couple of weeks ago and yes I Beach a couple of weeks ago and yes I Beach a couple of weeks ago and yes I was at a bar I do drink cocktails was at a bar I do drink cocktails was at a bar I do drink cocktails occasionally but when I was there I occasionally but when I was there I occasionally but when I was there I literally was going up I was ordering a literally was going up I was ordering a literally was going up I was ordering a glass of wine and there was a girl that glass of wine and there was a girl that glass of wine and there was a girl that came up next to me with her cell phone came up next to me with her cell phone came up next to me with her cell phone and it's pretty normal for everybody to and it's pretty normal for everybody to and it's pretty normal for everybody to have cellphones out nowadays but she had have cellphones out nowadays but she had have cellphones out nowadays but she had her cell phone out because she couldn't her cell phone out because she couldn't her cell phone out because she couldn't remember her purse friends because she remember her purse friends because she remember her purse friends because she had two friends with her she couldn't had two friends with her she couldn't had two friends with her she couldn't remember what they wanted she literally remember what they wanted she literally remember what they wanted she literally walked 10 feet and she had to put the walked 10 feet and she had to put the walked 10 feet and she had to put the drinks that they wanted in her phone drinks that they wanted in her phone drinks that they wanted in her phone because she could not remember what they because she could not remember what they because she could not remember what they wanted for wanted for wanted for walking ten feet and she just girl had walking ten feet and she just girl had walking ten feet and she just girl had been in a 20s and I was just like that been in a 20s and I was just like that been in a 20s and I was just like that is so scary that is really really scary is so scary that is really really scary is so scary that is really really scary I know you're from because now that is I know you're from because now that is I know you're from because now that is definitely what you think when definitely what you think when definitely what you think when unfortunately you live the west coast so unfortunately you live the west coast so unfortunately you live the west coast so when it comes to the prevalence of when it comes to the prevalence of when it comes to the prevalence of what's called multiple chemical what's called multiple chemical what's called multiple chemical sensitivity it's actually increased by sensitivity it's actually increased by sensitivity it's actually increased by 300% over the past few years so like 300% over the past few years so like 300% over the past few years so like that's an astronomical number so this is that's an astronomical number so this is that's an astronomical number so this is something that is definitely on the rise something that is definitely on the rise something that is definitely on the rise and you know is it because we're and you know is it because we're and you know is it because we're becoming more reactive or is it because becoming more reactive or is it because becoming more reactive or is it because we're using more chemicals it could be we're using more chemicals it could be we're using more chemicals it could be both it's definitely not going to be one both it's definitely not going to be one both it's definitely not going to be one or the other but some of the biggest or the other but some of the biggest or the other but some of the biggest things that people are reacting to is things that people are reacting to is things that people are reacting to is going to be cigarette smoke I cannot going to be cigarette smoke I cannot going to be cigarette smoke I cannot tell you how many chemicals I see come tell you how many chemicals I see come tell you how many chemicals I see come up in people's testing that are all from up in people's testing that are all from up in people's testing that are all from cigarette smoke and these are not people cigarette smoke and these are not people cigarette smoke and these are not people that necessarily smoke this is these are that necessarily smoke this is these are that necessarily smoke this is these are also people that were exposed to also people that were exposed to also people that were exposed to secondhand smoke or unfortunately mom secondhand smoke or unfortunately mom secondhand smoke or unfortunately mom you know back in the 60s or 70s didn't you know back in the 60s or 70s didn't you know back in the 60s or 70s didn't know any better I was smoking while she know any better I was smoking while she know any better I was smoking while she was pregnant so there is so much that was pregnant so there is so much that was pregnant so there is so much that can happen literally just in the wound can happen literally just in the wound can happen literally just in the wound based off of the chemicals that were in based off of the chemicals that were in based off of the chemicals that were in moms body that eventually made their way moms body that eventually made their way moms body that eventually made their way into the amniotic fluid so there is into the amniotic fluid so there is into the amniotic fluid so there is everything from gasoline to exhausts and everything from gasoline to exhausts and everything from gasoline to exhausts and this is not meaning like you're huffing this is not meaning like you're huffing this is not meaning like you're huffing the gasoline fumes from your car but a the gasoline fumes from your car but a the gasoline fumes from your car but a lot of it has to do with the lot of it has to do with the lot of it has to do with the contamination in the ground you know we contamination in the ground you know we contamination in the ground you know we live in lovely New Jersey and I grew up live in lovely New Jersey and I grew up live in lovely New Jersey and I grew up north and when you literally drive you north and when you literally drive you north and when you literally drive you know 20 or 15 miles outside of where I know 20 or 15 miles outside of where I know 20 or 15 miles outside of where I grew up there are there's Exxon has grew up there are there's Exxon has grew up there are there's Exxon has massive gas tanks everywhere so it's massive gas tanks everywhere so it's massive gas tanks everywhere so it's like these are things that happen we like these are things that happen we like these are things that happen we think that they're not getting into the think that they're not getting into the think that they're not getting into the water supply essentially and definitely water supply essentially and definitely water supply essentially and definitely the big one is the pesticides the the big one is the pesticides the the big one is the pesticides the herbicides the fungicides and the herbicides the fungicides and the herbicides the fungicides and the roundup the glyphosate chemical these roundup the glyphosate chemical these roundup the glyphosate chemical these are in high high high are in high high high are in high high high abundance at this point literally this abundance at this point literally this abundance at this point literally this is something that we are all being is something that we are all being is something that we are all being exposed to and unfortunately they're exposed to and unfortunately they're exposed to and unfortunately they're finding that even there's some finding that even there's some finding that even there's some contamination in even the organic foods contamination in even the organic foods contamination in even the organic foods so it's so important to try to even work so it's so important to try to even work so it's so important to try to even work with your local farms because when we with your local farms because when we with your local farms because when we literally see organic from Mexico and literally see organic from Mexico and literally see organic from Mexico and organic from you know South America I'm organic from you know South America I'm organic from you know South America I'm sorry I when I lived in California for a sorry I when I lived in California for a sorry I when I lived in California for a short amount of time there was we had a short amount of time there was we had a short amount of time there was we had a tree we had a couple of trees in the tree we had a couple of trees in the tree we had a couple of trees in the back but one of them was a peach tree back but one of them was a peach tree back but one of them was a peach tree literally I went and picked peaches off literally I went and picked peaches off literally I went and picked peaches off the tree ones I brought them inside and the tree ones I brought them inside and the tree ones I brought them inside and was in one day that were moldy and it was in one day that were moldy and it was in one day that were moldy and it really opened my eyes to think like okay really opened my eyes to think like okay really opened my eyes to think like okay if something is organic making its way if something is organic making its way if something is organic making its way all the way from Mexico that's a high or all the way from Mexico that's a high or all the way from Mexico that's a high or a long transport like there there has to a long transport like there there has to a long transport like there there has to be something that's being used in order be something that's being used in order be something that's being used in order to preserve that to some capacity so to preserve that to some capacity so to preserve that to some capacity so electrical sensitivity is one of the electrical sensitivity is one of the electrical sensitivity is one of the questions like what about electrical questions like what about electrical questions like what about electrical sensitivity so electrical sensitivity is sensitivity so electrical sensitivity is sensitivity so electrical sensitivity is actually really common with mold actually really common with mold actually really common with mold toxicity I don't want to discredit that toxicity I don't want to discredit that toxicity I don't want to discredit that heavy metal toxicity can be part of that heavy metal toxicity can be part of that heavy metal toxicity can be part of that as well as well as well but one of the things that happens when but one of the things that happens when but one of the things that happens when you have mold toxicity is it affects you have mold toxicity is it affects you have mold toxicity is it affects something called your antidiuretic something called your antidiuretic something called your antidiuretic hormone your antidiuretic hormone is the hormone your antidiuretic hormone is the hormone your antidiuretic hormone is the hormone that allows you to hold on to hormone that allows you to hold on to hormone that allows you to hold on to your hydration it also allows you to your hydration it also allows you to your hydration it also allows you to hold on to your electrolytes salts being hold on to your electrolytes salts being hold on to your electrolytes salts being one of them so when you get exposed to one of them so when you get exposed to one of them so when you get exposed to mold and your antidiuretic hormone is mold and your antidiuretic hormone is mold and your antidiuretic hormone is not working properly you tend to lose a not working properly you tend to lose a not working properly you tend to lose a lot of your electrolytes through your lot of your electrolytes through your lot of your electrolytes through your urine you also lose electrolytes through urine you also lose electrolytes through urine you also lose electrolytes through your skin so salt being one of them so your skin so salt being one of them so your skin so salt being one of them so salt is an electricity conductor so you salt is an electricity conductor so you salt is an electricity conductor so you will find that you get electric shock will find that you get electric shock will find that you get electric shock very easily if you're turning light very easily if you're turning light very easily if you're turning light switches on and off or if you're switches on and off or if you're switches on and off or if you're plugging things in and you also get plugging things in and you also get plugging things in and you also get sometimes a phantom vibratory or buzzing sometimes a phantom vibratory or buzzing sometimes a phantom vibratory or buzzing feeling that you feel like your cell feeling that you feel like your cell feeling that you feel like your cell phone is on you vibrating but it's not phone is on you vibrating but it's not phone is on you vibrating but it's not your cell phone so that's a very common your cell phone so that's a very common your cell phone so that's a very common thing that happens when it comes to mul thing that happens when it comes to mul thing that happens when it comes to mul toxicity toxicity toxicity and like I said is certain types of and like I said is certain types of and like I said is certain types of metals like cadmium aluminum they can metals like cadmium aluminum they can metals like cadmium aluminum they can also further that response because there also further that response because there also further that response because there also have conductivity properties as also have conductivity properties as also have conductivity properties as well so another thing to when it comes well so another thing to when it comes well so another thing to when it comes to what are people reacting to a lot of to what are people reacting to a lot of to what are people reacting to a lot of this has to do with the different this has to do with the different this has to do with the different fragrances and chemicals that are in our fragrances and chemicals that are in our fragrances and chemicals that are in our soaps colognes deodorants body creams soaps colognes deodorants body creams soaps colognes deodorants body creams you would actually be horrified if you you would actually be horrified if you you would actually be horrified if you really started to dig into what is in really started to dig into what is in really started to dig into what is in most of these products last month I most of these products last month I most of these products last month I actually did a whole webinar actually did a whole webinar actually did a whole webinar specifically on all the chemicals that specifically on all the chemicals that specifically on all the chemicals that are in our personal products and really are in our personal products and really are in our personal products and really you know the easiest thing that I can you know the easiest thing that I can you know the easiest thing that I can tell you guys to do and I you know it's tell you guys to do and I you know it's tell you guys to do and I you know it's funny funny funny someone said I'd had this buzzing and I someone said I'd had this buzzing and I someone said I'd had this buzzing and I thought it was crazy I one of the thought it was crazy I one of the thought it was crazy I one of the questions I asked in my consultation as questions I asked in my consultation as questions I asked in my consultation as I asked that question about the santen I asked that question about the santen I asked that question about the santen buzzing and people's faces change and buzzing and people's faces change and buzzing and people's faces change and they look at me like

tons of chemicals there are tons and tons of chemicals there are tons and tons of chemicals that were being exposed to but one thing that were being exposed to but one thing that were being exposed to but one thing I will say to you is that when we have I will say to you is that when we have I will say to you is that when we have these chemicals like this is not just these chemicals like this is not just these chemicals like this is not just about risk for cancer this is not just about risk for cancer this is not just about risk for cancer this is not just about you know it's not just about about you know it's not just about about you know it's not just about developing allergies this is also about developing allergies this is also about developing allergies this is also about preserving your neurological system preserving your neurological system preserving your neurological system because it is alarming how many people because it is alarming how many people because it is alarming how many people that I am working with that are coming that I am working with that are coming that I am working with that are coming in with already diagnosed neurological in with already diagnosed neurological in with already diagnosed neurological conditions but number two is I'm conditions but number two is I'm conditions but number two is I'm observing the neurological deficits I'm observing

and it's becoming you know scary house and it's becoming you know scary this is happening and when it comes to this is happening and when it comes to this is happening and when it comes to these different toxins the biggest thing these different toxins the biggest thing these different toxins the biggest thing that's happening is it's compromising that's happening is it's compromising that's happening is it's compromising the overall body so your body is the overall body so your body is the overall body so your body is equipped to detox it is fantastic at equipped to detox it is fantastic at equipped to detox it is fantastic at detoxing but it gets to a point that the detoxing but it gets to a point that the detoxing but it gets to a point that the filters are full and they cannot do filters are full and they cannot do filters are full and they cannot do their job any more we have we're their job any more we have we're their job any more we have we're equipped with tonsils we're

exposed to say a bunch of pesticides and herbicides pesticides and herbicides pesticides and herbicides crap because you eat a bunch of crap because you eat a bunch of crap because you eat a bunch of processed food then your liver is gonna processed food then your liver is gonna processed food then your liver is gonna get clogged up or maybe you drink a get clogged up or maybe you drink a get clogged up or maybe you drink a bunch of alcohol or take a bunch of bunch of alcohol or take a bunch of bunch of alcohol or take a bunch of Tylenol your livers gonna get clogged up Tylenol your livers gonna get clogged up Tylenol your livers gonna get clogged up then your kidneys have to work harder then your kidneys have to work harder then your kidneys have to work harder and your lymph nodes have to work harder and your lymph nodes have to work harder and your lymph nodes have to work harder or then maybe you lived in mold and now or then maybe you lived in mold and now or then maybe you lived in mold and now your lymph nodes got clogged up now your your lymph nodes got clogged up now your your lymph nodes got clogged up now your liver and your kidneys have to work liver and your kidneys have to work liver and your kidneys have to work harder and then it's just they all start harder and then it's just they all start harder and then it's just they all start to become and compromised over time and to become and compromised over time and to become and compromised over time and we all call it aging you know you hear we all call it aging you know you hear we all call it aging you know you hear all the time oh I'm getting old now I all the time oh I'm getting old now I all the time oh I'm getting old now I used to be a little like go out and you used to be a little like go out and you used to be a little like go out and you know have a party and have a bunch of know have a party and have a bunch of know have a party and have a bunch of drinks and I could wake up the next day drinks and I could wake up the next day drinks and I could wake up the next day and feel fine and now I have a glass of and feel fine and now I have a glass of and feel fine and now I have a glass of wine I'm hungover for three days well wine I'm hungover for three days well wine I'm hungover for three days well the reason that's happening is because the reason that's happening is because the reason that's happening is because your body's ability to filter out and your body's ability to filter out and your body's ability to filter out and metabolize the alcohol is not working metabolize the alcohol is not working metabolize the alcohol is not working anymore and it's not that you're old is anymore and it's not that you're old is anymore and it's not that you're old is not that you're broken it's just that not that you're broken it's just that not that you're broken it's just that you have to take into consideration you have to take into consideration you have to take into consideration you can't keep you know essentially you can't keep you know essentially you can't keep you know essentially using the vacuum and never dump the using the vacuum and never dump the using the vacuum and never dump the filter you need to eventually dump the filter you need to eventually dump the filter you need to eventually dump the filter so when we start to have all of filter so when we start to have all of filter so when we start to have all of these systems compromised and clogged up these systems compromised and clogged up these systems compromised and clogged up this is when we're starting to get a lot this is when we're starting to get a lot this is when we're starting to get a lot of these chemicals starting to affect of these chemicals starting to affect of these chemicals starting to affect our neurological system and for those of our neurological system and for those of our neurological system and for those of you that have had tonsils removed or you that have had tonsils removed or you that have had tonsils removed or have giant tonsils chronic sore throats have giant tonsils chronic sore throats have giant tonsils chronic sore throats or you have those lovely tonsil stones or you have those lovely tonsil stones or you have those lovely tonsil stones of those gross white things that pop out of those gross white things that pop out of those gross white things that pop out of your tonsils those are all signs that of your tonsils those are all signs that of your tonsils those are all signs that your tonsils are overloaded with the your tonsils are overloaded with the your tonsils are overloaded with the garbage that your brain is trying to garbage that your brain is trying to garbage that your brain is trying to detox out your brain is has a whole detox out your brain is has a whole detox out your brain is has a whole mechanism to help you detox but all of mechanism to help you detox but all of mechanism to help you detox but all of that crap gets dumped directly into your that crap gets dumped directly into your that crap gets dumped directly into your tonsils so if you have chronic tonsils tonsils so if you have chronic tonsils tonsils so if you have chronic tonsils or your kids have chronic tonsil or your kids have chronic tonsil or your kids have chronic tonsil problems chances are they have toxicity problems chances are they have toxicity problems chances are they have toxicity in their body that their brain is being in their body that their brain is being in their body that their brain is being completely overloaded with so one of the completely overloaded with so one of the completely overloaded with so one of the examples that I've kind of already examples that I've kind of already examples that I've kind of already talked about for those of you that are talked about for those of you that are talked about for those of you that are new jumping on is that a lot of people new jumping on is that a lot of people new jumping on is that a lot of people are struggling with allergies to are struggling with allergies to are struggling with allergies to different types of medications and a big different types of medications and a big different types of medications and a big one being antibiotics oh I took one being antibiotics oh I took one being antibiotics oh I took penicillin penicillin penicillin broke out in hives oh I took him on broke out in hives oh I took him on broke out in hives oh I took him on Susilo and I had eczema oh I took Susilo and I had eczema oh I took Susilo and I had eczema oh I took ampicillin and my throat closed or my ampicillin and my throat closed or my ampicillin and my throat closed or my tongue got weird so when we are talking tongue got weird so when we are talking tongue got weird so when we are talking specifically about these antibiotics specifically about these antibiotics specifically about these antibiotics these antibiotics most of them are these antibiotics most of them are these antibiotics most of them are derived from mold so penicillin is derived from mold so penicillin is derived from mold so penicillin is called penicillin because it was direct called penicillin because it was direct called penicillin because it was direct it's derived from Penicillium which is a it's derived from Penicillium which is a it's derived from Penicillium which is a mold so a lot of our antibiotics are mold so a lot of our antibiotics are mold so a lot of our antibiotics are derived from mold so if you have toxic derived from mold so if you have toxic derived from mold so if you have toxic mold in your body maybe it was because mold in your body maybe it was because mold in your body maybe it was because Mom had toxic mold and you got exposed Mom had toxic mold and you got exposed Mom had toxic mold and you got exposed in the womb maybe it's because you've in the womb maybe it's because you've in the womb maybe it's because you've had a boatload of antibiotics because had a boatload of antibiotics because had a boatload of antibiotics because you had ear infections as a kid you can you had ear infections as a kid you can you had ear infections as a kid you can get the toxicity from overdoing get the toxicity from overdoing get the toxicity from overdoing antibiotics you can also get it from antibiotics you can also get it from antibiotics you can also get it from living in a moldy environment etc so if living in a moldy environment etc so if living in a moldy environment etc so if you have toxic levels of mold in your you have toxic levels of mold in your you have toxic levels of mold in your body that is what's going to trigger the body that is what's going to trigger the body that is what's going to trigger the immune system the immune system creates immune system the immune system creates immune system the immune system creates a memory and then when you take that a memory and then when you take that a memory and then when you take that antibiotic later down the line you're antibiotic later down the line you're antibiotic later down the line you're gonna have a reaction so very often when gonna have a reaction so very often when gonna have a reaction so very often when we have toxic mold in the body we also we have toxic mold in the body we also we have toxic mold in the body we also tend to react and have seasonal tend to react and have seasonal tend to react and have seasonal allergies the seasonal allergies are allergies the seasonal allergies are allergies the seasonal allergies are primarily coming from the fact that primarily coming from the fact that primarily coming from the fact that under a microscope mold pollen dander it under a microscope mold pollen dander it under a microscope mold pollen dander it all looks really really similar so all looks really really similar so all looks really really similar so they're very cross reactive so we tend they're very cross reactive so we tend they're very cross reactive so we tend to have worse seasonal allergies when we to have worse seasonal allergies when we to have worse seasonal allergies when we have toxic levels of mold in the body so have toxic levels of mold in the body so have toxic levels of mold in the body so first and foremost is it's not just an first and foremost is it's not just an first and foremost is it's not just an allergy you don't just have an allergy allergy you don't just have an allergy allergy you don't just have an allergy to antibiotics we don't just have an to antibiotics we don't just have an to antibiotics we don't just have an allergy to food you don't just have an allergy to food you don't just have an allergy to food you don't just have an allergy to these chemicals these allergy to these chemicals these allergy to these chemicals these different allergic reactions are showing different allergic reactions are showing different allergic reactions are showing an immune response they're also showing an immune response they're also showing an immune response they're also showing a neurological response so like I said a neurological response so like I said a neurological response so like I said before is that if you have issues with before is that if you have issues with before is that if you have issues with chemical smells on different types of chemical smells on different types of chemical smells on different types of bleach you know again like different bleach you know again like different bleach you know again like different types of chemical triggers types of chemical triggers types of chemical triggers is showing you that you are actually is showing you that you are actually is showing you that you are actually having a neurological response so we having a neurological response so we having a neurological response so we need to start thinking bigger about why need to start thinking bigger about why need to start thinking bigger about why are you having that response and what is are you having that response and what is are you having that response and what is this going to look like in the long run this going to look like in the long run this going to look like in the long run the other big thing that can make us the other big thing that can make us the other big thing that can make us more susceptible to these different more susceptible to these different more susceptible to these different types of chemical allergies and types of chemical allergies and types of chemical allergies and reactions I will give you an example the reactions I will give you an example the reactions I will give you an example the women that wear the the cheap jewelry women that wear the the cheap jewelry women that wear the the cheap jewelry and it stains their skin most cheap and it stains their skin most cheap and it stains their skin most cheap jewelry is made from nickel and when you jewelry is made from nickel and when you jewelry is made from nickel and when you have that skin color change it's because have that skin color change it's because have that skin color change it's because you have an allergy to the nickel one of you have an allergy to the nickel one of you have an allergy to the nickel one of the biggest compounds that we are being the biggest compounds that we are being the biggest compounds that we are being exposed to in reference to nickel is exposed to in reference to nickel is exposed to in reference to nickel is dental so there is nickel in your braces dental so there is nickel in your braces dental so there is nickel in your braces there is nickel in sealants there is there is nickel in sealants there is there is nickel in sealants there is nickel in your permanent retainers they nickel in your permanent retainers they nickel in your permanent retainers they put behind your teeth so it's not always put behind your teeth so it's not always put behind your teeth so it's not always about fillings and the teeth but braces about fillings and the teeth but braces about fillings and the teeth but braces retainers sealants bonding a lot of the retainers sealants bonding a lot of the retainers sealants bonding a lot of the things that are being used in dentistry things that are being used in dentistry things that are being used in dentistry actually can trigger the cranial nerves actually can trigger the cranial nerves actually can trigger the cranial nerves which triggers the brain triggers the which triggers the brain triggers the which triggers the brain triggers the immune system and causes us to have immune system and causes us to have immune system and causes us to have these heightened responses and have these heightened responses and have these heightened responses and have these chemical sensitivities so we these chemical sensitivities so we these chemical sensitivities so we really need to start thinking about how really need to start thinking about how really need to start thinking about how is our dental issues or our oral issues is our dental issues or our oral issues is our dental issues or our oral issues play a role in our overall body and I've play a role in our overall body and I've play a role in our overall body and I've had to learn this over time because it had to learn this over time because it had to learn this over time because it was something that I didn't understand was something that I didn't understand was something that I didn't understand the beginning stages of my practice I the beginning stages of my practice I the beginning stages of my practice I didn't know that the fact that somebody didn't know that the fact that somebody didn't know that the fact that somebody had a dental abscess or a bacterial had a dental abscess or a bacterial had a dental abscess or a bacterial infection in their mouth you know 10 infection in their mouth you know 10 infection in their mouth you know 10 years prior that that actually could years prior that that actually could years prior that that actually could have created a systemic response which have created a systemic response which have created a systemic response which then led to an autoimmune condition so I then led to an autoimmune condition so I then led to an autoimmune condition so I cannot tell you how many people that cannot tell you how many people that cannot tell you how many people that when we ask better questions and we take when we ask better questions and we take when we ask better questions and we take a dental history that a lot of their a dental history that a lot of their a dental history that a lot of their symptoms started around a time that they symptoms started around a time that they symptoms started around a time that they had some type of dental procedure so we had some type of dental procedure so we had some type of dental procedure so we need to definitely take that into need to definitely take that into need to definitely take that into consideration consideration consideration when we're looking at the big picture of when we're looking at the big picture of when we're looking at the big picture of your overall health so another big thing your overall health so another big thing your overall health so another big thing too is that we kind of think that maybe too is that we kind of think that maybe too is that we kind of think that maybe only certain populations are affected by only certain populations are affected by only certain populations are affected by these chemical allergies we assume like these chemical allergies we assume like these chemical allergies we assume like well okay well maybe it's only people well okay well maybe it's only people well okay well maybe it's only people that are working with chemicals it's that are working with chemicals it's that are working with chemicals it's only the people that work you know in only the people that work you know in only the people that work you know in construction or it's only the people construction or it's only the people construction or it's only the people that work in factories or things like that work in factories or things like that work in factories or things like that but we also have to take into that but we also have to take into that but we also have to take into consideration where do you live where do consideration where do you live where do consideration where do you live where do you live because we live in the lovely you live because we live in the lovely you live because we live in the lovely state of New Jersey which I've lived state of New Jersey which I've lived state of New Jersey which I've lived many places and I did come back so I many places and I did come back so I many places and I did come back so I love it dearly and I will I will manage love it dearly and I will I will manage love it dearly and I will I will manage the toxicity but one of the really the toxicity but one of the really the toxicity but one of the really fascinating things about really the fascinating things about really the fascinating things about really the world in general but New Jersey world in general but New Jersey world in general but New Jersey particularly is that we have in New particularly is that we have in New particularly is that we have in New Jersey well I should say all over the Jersey well I should say all over the Jersey well I should say all over the country we have things called Superfund country we have things called Superfund country we have things called Superfund sites and the Superfund sites are sites and the Superfund sites are sites and the Superfund sites are actually their areas that have been actually their areas that have been actually their areas that have been contaminated with nuclear waste that contaminated with nuclear waste that contaminated with nuclear waste that have a government ordinance to be have a government ordinance to be have a government ordinance to be cleaned up so when you think about New cleaned up so when you think about New cleaned up so when you think about New Jersey's size in reference to California Jersey's size in reference to California Jersey's size in reference to California Wyoming Utah you know these states are Wyoming Utah you know these states are Wyoming Utah you know these states are huge in comparison to New Jersey and huge in comparison to New Jersey and huge in comparison to New Jersey and most other states have anywhere between most other states have anywhere between most other states have anywhere between one to two to maybe up to five Superfund one to two to maybe up to five Superfund one to two to maybe up to five Superfund sites again nuclear waste sites New sites again nuclear waste sites New sites again nuclear waste sites New Jersey anybody want to take a guess how Jersey anybody want to take a guess how Jersey anybody want to take a guess how many we have in the little state of New many we have in the little state of New many we have in the little state of New Jersey of literally places that have Jersey of literally places that have Jersey of literally places that have nuclear waste issues we have a hundred nuclear waste issues we have a hundred nuclear waste issues we have a hundred and twenty six so this is extremely and twenty six so this is extremely and twenty six so this is extremely extremely alarming because it's not you extremely alarming because it's not you extremely alarming because it's not you know it's not just us we also have New know it's not just us we also have New know it's not just us we also have New York that's being affected California York that's being affected California York that's being affected California everybody thinks California is like you everybody thinks California is like you everybody thinks California is like you know like wellness central the world but know like wellness central the world but know like wellness central the world but they actually have a second most they actually have a second most they actually have a second most Superfund sites so we are talking about Superfund sites so we are talking about Superfund sites so we are talking about a boatload of toxicity that a boatload of toxicity that a boatload of toxicity that you're being exposed to just based off you're being exposed to just based off you're being exposed to just based off of where we live and unfortunately not of where we live and unfortunately not of where we live and unfortunately not everybody knew about water purification everybody knew about water purification everybody knew about water purification systems not everybody knew about you systems not everybody knew about you systems not everybody knew about you know not swimming in certain bodies of know not swimming in certain bodies of know not swimming in certain bodies of water that are contaminated we didn't water that are contaminated we didn't water that are contaminated we didn't always know about these things so this always know about these things so this always know about these things so this is part of the puzzle that has given us is part of the puzzle that has given us is part of the puzzle that has given us these exposures which has created some these exposures which has created some these exposures which has created some of these chronic illness issues mystery of these chronic illness issues mystery of these chronic illness issues mystery symptom issues but it's also created symptom issues but it's also created symptom issues but it's also created issues with these chemical allergies and issues with these chemical allergies and issues with these chemical allergies and reactivities so the other thing too is reactivities so the other thing too is reactivities so the other thing too is you might be thinking well you know I'm you might be thinking well you know I'm you might be thinking well you know I'm not a candidate for any of this because not a candidate for any of this because not a candidate for any of this because I'm sure that this would have came up in I'm sure that this would have came up in I'm sure that this would have came up in my testing saying this is not going to my testing saying this is not going to my testing saying this is not going to come up in your physical this is not come up in your physical this is not come up in your physical this is not going to come up in your your CBC or going to come up in your your CBC or going to come up in your your CBC or your CMP which is like general blood your CMP which is like general blood your CMP which is like general blood work that's being run on an annual basis work that's being run on an annual basis work that's being run on an annual basis like nobody's testing for these things like nobody's testing for these things like nobody's testing for these things you have to specifically go out of your you have to specifically go out of your you have to specifically go out of your way to work with physicians that way to work with physicians that way to work with physicians that understand this in order to really be understand this in order to really be understand this in order to really be able to evaluate this stuff I'm sorry able to evaluate this stuff I'm sorry able to evaluate this stuff I'm sorry that it was not working but definitely that it was not working but definitely that it was not working but definitely direct messaged me your email and I will direct messaged me your email and I will direct messaged me your email and I will make sure that I get you the replay so I make sure that I get you the replay so I make sure that I get you the replay so I don't know why the webinar wasn't don't know why the webinar wasn't don't know why the webinar wasn't working it's a little quirky sometimes working it's a little quirky sometimes working it's a little quirky sometimes but I'm glad you're here so the other but I'm glad you're here so the other but I'm glad you're here so the other thing too when it comes to the actual thing too when it comes to the actual thing too when it comes to the actual testing that's going to give you insight testing that's going to give you insight testing that's going to give you insight is one of the tests that's out there is is one of the tests that's out there is is one of the tests that's out there is going to be GP tox it's Great Planes so going to be GP tox it's Great Planes so going to be GP tox it's Great Planes so Great Planes can give you definitely Great Planes can give you definitely Great Planes can give you definitely give you insight on glyphosate which one give you insight on glyphosate which one give you insight on glyphosate which one of our viewers was mentioning so the of our viewers was mentioning so the of our viewers was mentioning so the glyphosate toxicity is something that glyphosate toxicity is something that glyphosate toxicity is something that really a lot of us need to be evaluated really a lot of us need to be evaluated really a lot of us need to be evaluated for in addition to that it gives us for in addition to that it gives us for in addition to that it gives us insight as to a variety of different insight as to a variety of different insight as to a variety of different chemicals that have them you probably chemicals that have them you probably chemicals that have them you probably you've never even heard of but chemicals you've never even heard of but chemicals you've never even heard of but chemicals that were being exposed to through our that were being exposed to through our that were being exposed to through our environment through our personal environment through our personal environment through our personal products and do even our drinking water products and do even our drinking water products and do even our drinking water the other thing is we need to be the other thing is we need to be the other thing is we need to be leveraging better testing for heavy leveraging better testing for heavy leveraging better testing for heavy metals I used to do a lot of more metals I used to do a lot of more metals I used to do a lot of more traditional tasks I used to do hair traditional tasks I used to do hair traditional tasks I used to do hair analysis for heavy metals and I used to analysis for heavy metals and I used to analysis for heavy metals and I used to do urinary tasks I have actually do urinary tasks I have actually do urinary tasks I have actually completely shifted gears and I use a completely shifted gears and I use a completely shifted gears and I use a very advanced very advanced very advanced illogical spectometry to evaluate for illogical spectometry to evaluate for illogical spectometry to evaluate for intracellular heavy metals this is intracellular heavy metals this is intracellular heavy metals this is everything from aluminum mercury cadmium everything from aluminum mercury cadmium everything from aluminum mercury cadmium strontium literally silver nickels that strontium literally silver nickels that strontium literally silver nickels that the list goes on but even outside of the list goes on but even outside of the list goes on but even outside of that is there are tests out there that that is there are tests out there that that is there are tests out there that allow us to test for prescription allow us to test for prescription allow us to test for prescription reactions a lot of this is not being reactions a lot of this is not being reactions a lot of this is not being utilized because of cost but if you are utilized because of cost but if you are utilized because of cost but if you are someone who is toying with the idea of someone who is toying with the idea of someone who is toying with the idea of chemotherapy chemotherapy chemotherapy you really should be seeking out labs to you really should be seeking out labs to you really should be seeking out labs to know like is this chemotherapy congruent know like is this chemotherapy congruent know like is this chemotherapy congruent with your body is it something that's with your body is it something that's with your body is it something that's gonna cause a negative reaction isn't gonna cause a negative reaction isn't gonna cause a negative reaction isn't even gonna work um the our GCC is a lab even gonna work um the our GCC is a lab even gonna work um the our GCC is a lab out of Greece and they're one of the out of Greece and they're one of the out of Greece and they're one of the best labs for knowing which chemotherapy best labs for knowing which chemotherapy best labs for knowing which chemotherapy is best coincide with the body but is best coincide with the body but is best coincide with the body but outside of that when it comes to the the outside of that when it comes to the the outside of that when it comes to the the other testing is we need to test for other testing is we need to test for other testing is we need to test for heavy metals we need to test for heavy metals we need to test for heavy metals we need to test for chemicals and we also need to test for chemicals and we also need to test for chemicals and we also need to test for mold and mycotoxins so when it comes to mold and mycotoxins so when it comes to mold and mycotoxins so when it comes to mycotoxin testing I've been using a lab mycotoxin testing I've been using a lab mycotoxin testing I've been using a lab called vigor in America I find that they called vigor in America I find that they called vigor in America I find that they are definitely one of the best for being are definitely one of the best for being are definitely one of the best for being able to give us insight with that there able to give us insight with that there able to give us insight with that there are other labs out there but after using are other labs out there but after using are other labs out there but after using a variety I definitely feel that vibrant a variety I definitely feel that vibrant a variety I definitely feel that vibrant um America is one of the best at this um America is one of the best at this um America is one of the best at this time so some of the preliminary tests time so some of the preliminary tests time so some of the preliminary tests that we use in our office is we use some that we use in our office is we use some that we use in our office is we use some really advanced technologies from Europe really advanced technologies from Europe really advanced technologies from Europe one of them is actually called the one of them is actually called the one of them is actually called the bioresonance the other one is an bioresonance the other one is an bioresonance the other one is an American technology called the bioscan American technology called the bioscan American technology called the bioscan so both of these work in different ways so both of these work in different ways so both of these work in different ways one is actually working one is actually working one is actually working excuse me down to the DNA level and excuse me down to the DNA level and excuse me down to the DNA level and looking at what types of chemical looking at what types of chemical looking at what types of chemical reactions are damaging our DNA and then reactions are damaging our DNA and then reactions are damaging our DNA and then the other one is actually looking for the other one is actually looking for the other one is actually looking for different types of allergic reactions different types of allergic reactions different types of allergic reactions within the body so these two within the body so these two within the body so these two technologies are amazing as we bring the technologies are amazing as we bring the technologies are amazing as we bring the information together because it allows information together because it allows information together because it allows us to really understand not only what us to really understand not only what us to really understand not only what your body is reacting to but how like your body is reacting to but how like your body is reacting to but how like what problems is it causing in your body what problems is it causing in your body what problems is it causing in your body is it affecting your liver is it is it affecting your liver is it is it affecting your liver is it affecting your energy is it affecting affecting your energy is it affecting affecting your energy is it affecting your sleep is your sleep is your sleep is affecting your digestion and that's affecting your digestion and that's affecting your digestion and that's really some of the amazing things that really some of the amazing things that really some of the amazing things that we see is we're able to get extremely we see is we're able to get extremely we see is we're able to get extremely specific when when really knowing like specific when when really knowing like specific when when really knowing like what is doing what but also that helps what is doing what but also that helps what is doing what but also that helps us to know how we can actually get you us to know how we can actually get you us to know how we can actually get you on track to feeling better so I on track to feeling better so I on track to feeling better so I mentioned this earlier but for those of mentioned this earlier but for those of mentioned this earlier but for those of you that are just hopping on the other you that are just hopping on the other you that are just hopping on the other thing too is that some people do have thing too is that some people do have thing too is that some people do have reactions to certain types of drugs and reactions to certain types of drugs and reactions to certain types of drugs and some people even have reactions to some people even have reactions to some people even have reactions to supplements and it's not always about supplements and it's not always about supplements and it's not always about the active ingredients in those the active ingredients in those the active ingredients in those prescriptions or the active ingredients prescriptions or the active ingredients prescriptions or the active ingredients in those supplements but a lot of it is in those supplements but a lot of it is in those supplements but a lot of it is the additives and when you're dealing the additives and when you're dealing the additives and when you're dealing with supplements definitely supplements with supplements definitely supplements with supplements definitely supplements are gonna have less additives I would are gonna have less additives I would are gonna have less additives I would say the one additive to be aware of in say the one additive to be aware of in say the one additive to be aware of in supplements is magnesium steering supplements is magnesium steering supplements is magnesium steering magnesium stearate has actually been magnesium stearate has actually been magnesium stearate has actually been found to be reactive and some kids with found to be reactive and some kids with found to be reactive and some kids with pandas or even autism not every but it's pandas or even autism not every but it's pandas or even autism not every but it's definitely something to be aware of but definitely something to be aware of but definitely something to be aware of but when we're talking prescription drugs when we're talking prescription drugs when we're talking prescription drugs we're definitely talking about a lot we're definitely talking about a lot we're definitely talking about a lot more additives we're talking about dyes more additives we're talking about dyes more additives we're talking about dyes red and blue dyes are two of the primary red and blue dyes are two of the primary red and blue dyes are two of the primary we're talking about aluminum that is we're talking about aluminum that is we're talking about aluminum that is very very common in a lot of very very common in a lot of very very common in a lot of prescriptions we're talking about blue prescriptions we're talking about blue prescriptions we're talking about blue in so again I said this earlier for in so again I said this earlier for in so again I said this earlier for those of you on synthroid or you know those of you on synthroid or you know those of you on synthroid or you know someone on centroid synthroid is a someone on centroid synthroid is a someone on centroid synthroid is a thyroid medication it has gluten in it thyroid medication it has gluten in it thyroid medication it has gluten in it so if you're celiac or gluten intolerant so if you're celiac or gluten intolerant so if you're celiac or gluten intolerant and you are taking synthroid you are and you are taking synthroid you are and you are taking synthroid you are potentially causing an immune reaction potentially causing an immune reaction potentially causing an immune reaction every time you take your medication so every time you take your medication so every time you take your medication so in addition formaldehyde formaldehyde is in

whatever because maybe we're diabetic or whatever because maybe we're diabetic or whatever else but we might be taking a medication else but we might be taking a medication else but we might be taking a medication that actually contains it so again the that actually contains it so again the that actually contains it so again the point of this is that we need to start point of this is that we need to start point of this is that we need to start looking at the ingredients of the things looking at the ingredients of the things looking at the ingredients of the things that we're being recommended because we that we're being recommended because we that we're being recommended because we might actually be trying to fix one might actually be trying to fix one might actually be trying to fix one problem by taking the medication of the problem by taking the medication of the problem by taking the medication of the supplement but might be causing a supplement but might be causing a supplement but might be causing a completely different problem because completely different problem because completely different problem because we're exposing ourselves to different we're exposing ourselves to different we're exposing ourselves to different chemicals so it's just seasonal chemicals so it's just seasonal chemicals so it's just seasonal allergies this is always a conversation allergies this is always a conversation allergies this is always a conversation I have with my patients and they're I have with my patients and they're I have with my patients and they're always like like mouth drop like staring always like like mouth drop like staring always like like mouth drop like staring at me like what but when you really take at me like what but when you really take at me like what but when you really take a step back and you think about your a step back and you think about your a step back and you think about your seasonal allergies so what's happening seasonal allergies so what's happening seasonal allergies so what's happening at the change of seasons so change of at the change of seasons so change of at the change of seasons so change of seasons you kick on your seasons you kick on your seasons you kick on your air-conditioning unit maybe there's a air-conditioning unit maybe there's a air-conditioning unit maybe there's a bunch of mold in your air conditioning bunch of mold in your air conditioning bunch of mold in your air conditioning unit maybe there is condensation you unit maybe there is condensation you unit maybe there is condensation you know it was sitting pretty much all know it was sitting pretty much all know it was sitting pretty much all winter long and you know maybe you're winter long and you know maybe you're winter long and you know maybe you're pushing mold spores through the pushing mold spores through the pushing mold spores through the ventilation system of your home maybe ventilation system of your home maybe ventilation system of your home maybe you're pulling clothes out of the you're pulling clothes out of the you're pulling clothes out of the basement because you know you're basement because you know you're basement because you know you're bringing out your winter clothes or bringing out your winter clothes or bringing out your winter clothes or you're bringing out your summer clothes you're bringing out your summer clothes you're bringing out your summer clothes maybe there was mildew or condensation maybe there was mildew or condensation maybe there was mildew or condensation or some type of moisture in your or some type of moisture in your or some type of moisture in your basement maybe you're using more basement maybe you're using more basement maybe you're using more sunscreen because you're getting into sunscreen because you're getting into sunscreen because you're getting into the summer months or you're using your the summer months or you're using your the summer months or you're using your makeup with SPF that has chemicals in it makeup with SPF that has chemicals in it makeup with SPF that has chemicals in it maybe you start at landscaping and maybe you start at landscaping and maybe you start at landscaping and you're using a bunch of pesticides and you're using a bunch of pesticides and you're using a bunch of pesticides and herbicides if you're using fertilizer herbicides if you're using fertilizer herbicides if you're using fertilizer and you're spraying for mosquitoes maybe and you're spraying for mosquitoes maybe and you're spraying for mosquitoes maybe your landscaping cutting down trees your landscaping cutting down trees your landscaping cutting down trees trimming bushes trimming bushes trimming bushes and those trees or bushes are infected and those trees or bushes are infected and those trees or bushes are infected with fungus with fungus with fungus maybe you're spraying you know your maybe you're spraying you know your maybe you're spraying you know your property for mosquitoes or ants or other property for mosquitoes or ants or other property for mosquitoes or ants or other things so we need to start thinking things so we need to start thinking things so we need to start thinking about like is this truly a seasonal about like is this truly a seasonal about like is this truly a seasonal allergy or is this actually a chemical allergy or is this actually a chemical allergy or is this actually a chemical allergy or a mold allergy based off of allergy or a mold allergy based off of allergy or a mold allergy based off of other things that we are doing either in other things that we are doing either in other things that we are doing either in our homes or on our properties so it's our homes or on our properties so it's our homes or on our properties so it's very very important to take all factors very very important to take all factors very very important to take all factors into consideration because you might as into consideration because you might as into consideration because you might as you might actually be complete you might actually be complete you might actually be complete completely missing the boat on what is completely missing the boat on what is completely missing the boat on what is the true problem here so I had a patient the true problem here so I had a patient the true problem here so I had a patient who she actually really didn't know that who she actually really didn't know that who she actually really didn't know that she had chemical sensitivity but by the she had chemical sensitivity but by the she had chemical sensitivity but by the time she showed up to my office she was time she showed up to my office she was time she showed up to my office she was diagnosed with three autoimmune diagnosed with three autoimmune diagnosed with three autoimmune conditions another thing that came up in conditions another thing that came up in conditions another thing that came up in conversation was like the massive conversation was like the massive conversation was like the massive fatigue and brain fog that she had her fatigue and brain fog that she had her fatigue and brain fog that she had her brain fog was pretty pretty debilitating brain fog was pretty pretty debilitating brain fog was pretty pretty debilitating she actually had to write everything she actually had to write everything she actually had to write everything down because within a few minutes she down because within a few minutes she down because within a few minutes she would actually forget it so she came in would actually forget it so she came in would actually forget it so she came in to really have another modality to deal to really have another modality to deal to really have another modality to deal with her Hashimoto's her celiac which with her Hashimoto's her celiac which with her Hashimoto's her celiac which then she also ended up being diagnosed then she also ended up being diagnosed then she also ended up being diagnosed with lupus at one point as well so in with lupus at one point as well so in with lupus at one point as well so in conversation it turned out this woman conversation it turned out this woman conversation it turned out this woman was a stylist for over 20 years and when was a stylist for over 20 years and when was a stylist for over 20 years and when she said that I couldn't help but feel she said that I couldn't help but feel she said that I couldn't help but feel okay is this you know really just oh you okay is this you know really just oh you okay is this you know really just oh you just have autoimmune conditions or is just have autoimmune conditions or is just have autoimmune conditions or is your immune system literally on fire your immune system literally on fire your immune system literally on fire because of massive chemical exposures so because of massive chemical exposures so because of massive chemical exposures so this woman really had the double whammy this woman really had the double whammy this woman really had the double whammy she not only had a buildup of tons of she not only had a buildup of tons of she not only had a buildup of tons of chemicals from formaldehyde to propylene chemicals from formaldehyde to propylene chemicals from formaldehyde to propylene glycol lead mercury which a lot of it glycol lead mercury which a lot of it glycol lead mercury which a lot of it came from all of the products that she came from all of the products that she came from all of the products that she was using in her industry but the kicker was using in her industry but the kicker was using in her industry but the kicker was that in addition the salon also was that in addition the salon also was that in addition the salon also ended up having a mold problem so there ended up having a mold problem so there ended up having a mold problem so there were actually various people that were were actually various people that were were actually various people that were in the salon complaining of fatigue in the salon complaining of fatigue in the salon complaining of fatigue brain fog free issues and for her the brain fog free issues and for her the brain fog free issues and for her the big thing that happened was that you big thing that happened was that you big thing that happened was that you know that was like the straw that broke know that was like the straw that broke know that was like the straw that broke the camel's the camel's the camel's she had this accumulation of all these she had this accumulation of all these she had this accumulation of all these different chemicals in her body and then different chemicals in her body and then different chemicals in her body and then once the mold was part of the puzzle once the mold was part of the puzzle once the mold was part of the puzzle because it was black mold which was very because it was black mold which was very because it was black mold which was very very aggressive very aggressive very aggressive that was literally her immune system that was literally her immune system that was literally her immune system looks like I'm done like I can't looks like I'm done like I can't looks like I'm done like I can't and her immune system kind of threw in and her immune system kind of threw in and her immune system kind of threw in the towel and at that point you know the towel and at that point you know the towel and at that point you know there was the development of these there was the development of these there was the development of these autoimmune conditions so just you autoimmune conditions so just you autoimmune conditions so just you understand as well is that when it comes understand as well is that when it comes understand as well is that when it comes to Hashimoto's and the thyroid or just to Hashimoto's and the thyroid or just to Hashimoto's and the thyroid or just siren in general when you really think siren in general when you really think siren in general when you really think about the anatomy of where the thyroid about the anatomy of where the thyroid about the anatomy of where the thyroid is located and you think about if is located and you think about if is located and you think about if somebody is breathing in mold spores or somebody is breathing in mold spores or somebody is breathing in mold spores or breathing in formaldehyde or breathing breathing in formaldehyde or breathing breathing in formaldehyde or breathing in you know some other type of chemical in you know some other type of chemical in you know some other type of chemical like you think about a salon they're like you think about a salon they're like you think about a salon they're spraying a million things like I like spraying a million things like I like spraying a million things like I like dye when I go to the salon I go once a dye when I go to the salon I go once a dye when I go to the salon I go once a year because I can't even handle it but year because I can't even handle it but year because I can't even handle it but they're breathing all of that in and they're breathing all of that in and they're breathing all of that in and it's going into the sinuses it's going it's going into the sinuses it's going it's going into the sinuses it's going into the mouth it's going into the into the mouth it's going into the into the mouth it's going into the tonsils and what's just chilling right tonsils and what's just chilling right tonsils and what's just chilling right in the middle is the thyroid so you get in the middle is the thyroid so you get in the middle is the thyroid so you get all these chemicals saturated into the all these chemicals saturated into the all these chemicals saturated into the sinuses saturated into the tonsils sinuses saturated into the tonsils sinuses saturated into the tonsils saturated into the lymph nodes and this saturated into the lymph nodes and this saturated into the lymph nodes and this is going to be you know almost like the is going to be you know almost like the is going to be you know almost like the thyroid is in a bad neighborhood it's thyroid is in a bad neighborhood it's thyroid is in a bad neighborhood it's literally sitting in the middle of all literally sitting in the middle of all literally sitting in the middle of all of these tissues that are written with of these tissues that are written with of these tissues that are written with the toxicity and the same thing goes is the toxicity and the same thing goes is the toxicity and the same thing goes is that breathing it in breathing it in that breathing it in breathing it in that breathing it in breathing it in getting into the tonsils the mouth this getting into the tonsils the mouth this getting into the tonsils the mouth this can also then allow these chemicals to can also then allow these chemicals to can also then allow these chemicals to get into the digestive system as well so get into the digestive system as well so get into the digestive system as well so when you talk about your gut and you're when you talk about your gut and you're when you talk about your gut and you're like what did I eat today oh my gosh like what did I eat today oh my gosh like what did I eat today oh my gosh like am i reacting to this food am i like am i reacting to this food am i like am i reacting to this food am i reacting to that food it might not be reacting to that food it might not be reacting to that food it might not be food it might be chemicals it might be food it might be chemicals it might be food it might be chemicals it might be something completely off of your radar something completely off of your radar something completely off of your radar most of my patients that have come to me most of my patients that have come to me most of my patients that have come to me after years of gut issues it it's yeah after years of gut issues it it's yeah after years of gut issues it it's yeah they have bacteria yeah they have they have bacteria yeah they have they have bacteria yeah they have inflammation in their gut but they also inflammation in their gut but they also inflammation in their gut but they also have a boatload of toxins in there so have a boatload of toxins in there so have a boatload of toxins in there so once we're able to tackle the toxicity once we're able to tackle the toxicity once we're able to tackle the toxicity they actually have the resolution of they actually have the resolution of they actually have the resolution of their gut issues so it's just their gut issues so it's just their gut issues so it's just important to understand there may be important to understand there may be important to understand there may be more to the story for the symptoms that more to the story for the symptoms that more to the story for the symptoms that are unresolved for you just so you know are unresolved for you just so you know are unresolved for you just so you know instagramers this is gonna kick me off instagramers this is gonna kick me off instagramers this is gonna kick me off in about five minutes so if you guys are in about five minutes so if you guys are in about five minutes so if you guys are enjoying this and you want to see the enjoying this and you want to see the enjoying this and you want to see the rest of the webinar I can definitely rest of the webinar I can definitely rest of the webinar I can definitely shoot it to you in an email you do have shoot it to you in an email you do have shoot it to you in an email you do have to direct message me your email address to direct message me your email address to direct message me your email address so I should just know that you can so I should just know that you can so I should just know that you can definitely shoot me a message if you definitely shoot me a message if you definitely shoot me a message if you have any questions right now throw them have any questions right now throw them have any questions right now throw them into the comment section otherwise into the comment section otherwise into the comment section otherwise direct message me that email address direct message me that email address direct message me that email address okay so another big one is that okay so another big one is that okay so another big one is that allergies are not a reflection of your allergies are not a reflection of your allergies are not a reflection of your overall health this is a huge myth overall health this is a huge myth overall health this is a huge myth because we often think allergies are because we often think allergies are because we often think allergies are just allergies and they are not just allergies and they are not just allergies and they are not associated with anything else but associated with anything else but associated with anything else but chemical sensitivity is are reflective chemical sensitivity is are reflective chemical sensitivity is are reflective of a neurological reaction that you are of a neurological reaction that you are of a neurological reaction that you are having the longer your neurological having the longer your neurological having the longer your neurological system is stressed the more inclined you system is stressed the more inclined you system is stressed the more inclined you are to have the brain fog that turns are to have the brain fog that turns are to have the brain fog that turns into the short-term memory loss which into the short-term memory loss which into the short-term memory loss which turns into the word recall issues that turns into the word recall issues that turns into the word recall issues that then turns into the long-term memory then turns into the long-term memory then turns into the long-term memory issues which then become something more issues which then become something more issues which then become something more serious down the line so it's a serious down the line so it's a serious down the line so it's a progression that happens that usually progression that happens that usually progression that happens that usually takes years but if you are in your 20s takes years but if you are in your 20s takes years but if you are in your 20s or 30s and you're already saying my or 30s and you're already saying my or 30s and you're already saying my memory sucks you need to start doing memory sucks you need to start doing memory sucks you need to start doing something about it because it doesn't something about it because it doesn't something about it because it doesn't get better it gets worse get better it gets worse get better it gets worse the other thing too is that the immune the other thing too is that the immune the other thing too is that the immune system can become reactive for a variety system can become reactive for a variety system can become reactive for a variety of reasons so again this might be you're of reasons so again this might be you're of reasons so again this might be you're having a reaction to food you might be having a reaction to food you might be having a reaction to food you might be high up having a reaction to mold you high up having a reaction to mold you high up having a reaction to mold you might be having a reaction to chemicals might

solutions and they are and we deserve solutions and they are and we deserve solutions and they are out there I promise you and some of you out there I promise you and some of you out there I promise you and some of you are here because maybe you tried are here because maybe you tried are here because maybe you tried functional medicine some of you are here functional medicine some of you are here functional medicine some of you are here because you have no freaking clue what because you have no freaking clue what because you have no freaking clue what functional medicine is but I'm here to functional medicine is but I'm here to functional medicine is but I'm here to tell you functional medicine and tell you functional medicine and tell you functional medicine and integrative medicine are different integrative medicine are different integrative medicine are different because functional medicine is better because functional medicine is better because functional medicine is better testing but in my opinion less tools testing but in my opinion less tools testing but in my opinion less tools it's diet and supplements integrative it's diet and supplements integrative it's diet and supplements integrative medicine is going to be giving you a lot medicine is going to be giving you a lot medicine is going to be giving you a lot more tools so I will answer that more tools so I will answer that more tools so I will answer that question but you're going to have to get question but you're going to have to get question but you're going to have to get the replay so one of the questions the replay so one of the questions the replay so one of the questions they asked us about osteoporosis and they asked us about osteoporosis and they asked us about osteoporosis and with the osteoporosis this can with the osteoporosis this can with the osteoporosis this can definitely play into some of the things definitely play into some of the things definitely play into some of the things that we talked about that we talked about that we talked about partly because these chemicals can block partly because these chemicals can block partly because these chemicals can block the absorption of calcium in the gut but the absorption of calcium in the gut but the absorption of calcium in the gut but a big thing with osteoporosis is it's a big thing with osteoporosis is it's a big thing with osteoporosis is it's associated with your palace thyroid associated with your palace thyroid associated with your palace thyroid gland gland gland so again if you're inhaling chemicals so again if you're inhaling chemicals so again if you're inhaling chemicals because you work in construction you're because you work in construction you're because you work in construction you're being exposed to chemicals and being exposed to chemicals and being exposed to chemicals and fiberglass and spray insulation if you fiberglass and spray insulation if you fiberglass and spray insulation if you work in a salon and you're gonna get work in a salon and you're gonna get work in a salon and you're gonna get supposed to aerosol sprays and things supposed to aerosol sprays and things supposed to aerosol sprays and things like that then all of that what's going like that then all of that what's going like that then all of that what's going in is going into the lymph nodes of the in is going into the lymph nodes of the in is going into the lymph nodes of the neck your powers i roid our glands is neck your powers i roid our glands is neck your powers i roid our glands is connected to your thyroid and you can connected to your thyroid and you can connected to your thyroid and you can easily have dysfunction in your easily have dysfunction in your easily have dysfunction in your parathyroid based off of that toxicity parathyroid based off of that toxicity parathyroid based off of that toxicity which will then compromise your calcium which will then compromise your calcium which will then compromise your calcium levels which will then create more levels which will then create more levels which will then create more susceptibility to osteopenia and susceptibility to osteopenia and susceptibility to osteopenia and osteoporosis so going back to this idea osteoporosis so going back to this idea osteoporosis so going back to this idea of functional medicine integrative of functional medicine integrative of functional medicine integrative medicine is that with functional medicine is that with functional medicine is that with functional medicine it's great testing but the the medicine it's great testing but the the medicine it's great testing but the the solutions are focused on diet and solutions are focused on diet and solutions are focused on diet and supplements when we get into this supplements when we get into this supplements when we get into this integrative medicine idea we start to integrative medicine idea we start to integrative medicine idea we start to focus more on the bigger picture okay focus more on the bigger picture okay focus more on the bigger picture okay how are we gonna get rid of these how are we gonna get rid of these how are we gonna get rid of these chemical sensitivities how are we gonna chemical sensitivities how are we gonna chemical sensitivities how are we gonna get rid of the toxicities are we going get rid of the toxicities are we going get rid of the toxicities are we going to use detox therapy is like infrared to use detox therapy is like infrared to use detox therapy is like infrared sauna are we gonna use PMS devices are sauna are we gonna use PMS devices are sauna are we gonna use PMS devices are we going to use lymphatic drainage are we going to use lymphatic drainage are we going to use lymphatic drainage are we gonna use muscle work to get the we gonna use muscle work to get the we gonna use muscle work to get the lymph nodes moving are we gonna use lymph nodes moving are we gonna use lymph nodes moving are we gonna use lymphatic massage are we gonna use lymphatic massage are we gonna use lymphatic massage are we gonna use chiropractic or really going to use chiropractic or really going to use chiropractic or really going to use supplements are we going to use diet so supplements are we going to use diet so supplements are we going to use diet so we start looking beyond and we start we start looking beyond and we start we start looking beyond and we start piecing it together so you get better piecing it together so you get better piecing it together so you get better results in a shorter amount of time results in a shorter amount of time results in a shorter amount of time because it's usually not just about you because it's usually not just about you because it's usually not just about you know eat broccoli until you're green and know eat broccoli until you're green and know eat broccoli until you're green and that's gonna be hot that's gonna be hot that's gonna be hot movie is one part of the puzzle so we movie is one part of the puzzle so we movie is one part of the puzzle so we need to be pairing the food with other need to be pairing the food with other need to be pairing the food with other modalities that are gonna give us the modalities that are gonna give us the modalities that are gonna give us the success that we're looking for and we're success that we're looking for and we're success that we're looking for and we're going to give us this it's gonna give us going to give us this it's gonna give us going to give us this it's gonna give us the success that is more sustainable so the success that is more sustainable so the success that is more sustainable so another big thing that always comes up another big thing that always comes up another big thing that always comes up in conversation for those of you that in conversation for those of you that in conversation for those of you that are kind of new to this world is like are kind of new to this world is like are kind of new to this world is like how does this all work with insurance how does this all work with insurance how does this all work with insurance because this all sounds great and I want because this all sounds great and I want because this all sounds great and I want this approach but I want to use my this approach but I want to use my this approach but I want to use my insurance and I totally get it people insurance and I totally get it people insurance and I totally get it people pay a lot of money for their insurance pay a lot of money for their insurance pay a lot of money for their insurance but I will tell you that the insurance but I will tell you that the insurance but I will tell you that the insurance model is going to keep you sick because model is going to keep you sick because model is going to keep you sick because it's not focused on serving you as a it's not focused on serving you as a it's not focused on

of my absolute favorite components to this is that was favorite components to this is that was favorite components to this is that was something called the autonomic response something called the autonomic response something called the autonomic response testing so what I found is when I was testing so what I found is when I was testing so what I found is when I was really functioning out of this really functioning out of this really functioning out of this functional medicine model I was basing functional medicine model I was basing functional medicine model I was basing my recommendations off of what I thought my recommendations off of what I thought my recommendations off of what I thought was best and most of your other was best and most of your other was best and most of your other physicians are doing the same they're physicians are doing the same they're physicians are doing the same they're using subjectivity oh I saw this work in using subjectivity oh I saw this work in using subjectivity oh I saw this work in a similar case or the research says this a similar case or the research says this a similar case or the research says this worked it for this and really at the end worked it for this and really at the end worked it for this and really at the end of the day it's a bunch of guessing like of the day it's a bunch of guessing like of the day
