Environmental Medicine | Detox Therapy

Environmental medicine is a field of medicine that deals with the interaction between environmental toxins and chemicals and our health. These toxins are found everywhere: in our food, water and air. Many of these chemicals “build up” and concentrate in our bodies.

​

Toxins specifically concentrate in body fat and organs such as the liver, kidneys and the brain. They are also transferred to our children and future generations through our genes. Increased exposure to toxins can lead to many problems with the immune system, nervous system and endocrine system. It can even lead to environmental illnesses.

Some of the most common complaints of toxic burden include:

​

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Headache and brain fog

  • Sensitivities and allergies to foods, chemicals as well as personal care and household products

 

Depending on the extent of exposure or the individual’s capacity to tolerate it, toxicity can lead to more serious illnesses. These illnesses include:

​

  • Cancer

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Autism

  • ADHD

  • Heart disease

  • Neurological complications

​​​​

How do you treat environmental illness and detoxification?

​

Environmental illness and detoxification treatments are designed based on individual patients. Factors that are considered include: exposure, toxic burden load and specific genetic and lifestyle factors, nutrient issues and the patient’s goals.

​

Treatment options may include:

​

  • Intravenous therapy

  • Infra-red sauna therapy

  • Specific naturopathic nutrient supplement and detoxification protocols

  • Allergen desensitization protocols.
