How to eliminate endocrine-disruptors from your system

blackteaWhy should someone care about endocrine-disruptors? The effort to walk away from damaging chemicals becomes easier when one sees what happens when disrupted hormones lead to major life-altering consequences.

The endocrine system is a huge deal – when in balance, everything is wonderful. When slightly out of whack, life is Hades. We didn’t need a thousand individual studies to list off all the symptoms Bisphenol-A can cause; like ADHD-type symptoms, obesity, devastating sex/reproductive changes, brain impairment and so much more. It passes the blood brain barrier, accumulates and is way more dangerous at lower levels than previously thought. When the endocrine glands get messed with, it’s dethroning the regulator of all those hormonal functions.

No one specifically asked for hormone-scramblers on the consumer market, like decades of heavy pesticide dousing, plastics, cleaning chemicals, fragrance, cosmetics, dental sealants, body care, processed food and its packaging. For many reasons, it’s here…

We don’t have to despair. Where regulatory agencies and Big Chem fail, we have the power of knowledge and choice. Complete avoidance would be great. But in order not to worry about exposure so much – it’s cleanup time! It’s so easy – you might already be doing it.

1. Get thee some probiotics – pronto. Not talking celebrity endorsed yogurt here. Fermented foods like kimchi, natural sauerkraut and kefir. A refrigerated, concentrated probiotic supplement helps. Drink kombucha. Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus casei were found to extract BPA from the blood of mammals and were excreted out through the bowels. That is very good news!

Beneficial bacteria strengthen the gut and break down chemicals like BPA so they can be cleared out. As a bonus, they break down pesticides, another major endocrine-disruptor. Probiotics are becoming well known for breaking down endocrine-disruptors in the body. Continue reading
