As we have become more exposed to chemical-laden products and to toxic chemicals in food, air, and water, we have been confronted with an accelerating rate of chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, chemical sensitivity, autism spectrum disorders, ADD\/AD(H)D, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToxins are harmful to our health in numerous ways. For example, toxins damage enzymes and impact countless bodily functions. They displace important structural minerals and therefore weaken bones. Toxins damage organs, DNA, as well as cell membranes. And they modify gene expression and impair the body’s ability to detoxify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis TOX profile screens for the presence of 173 different toxic chemicals, including organophosphate pesticides, phthalates, benzene, xylene, vinyl chloride, pyrethroid insecticides, acrylamide, perchlorate, diphenyl phosphate, ethylene oxide, acrylonitrile, and more.
