Environment
The world is suffering an epidemic of chronic disease and according to research, environmental toxins are the primary cause of those diseases. Through detoxification we prepare the body for detox protocols, work through the protocols and then aim to build a life as free from toxins as possible.
It seems fairly safe to say that after all of the research conducted into the effects of environmental pollutants on our health, naturopathic detoxification protocols are a must for all. Research by Huang T, Saxena AR, Isganaitis E, James-Todd T. showed correlation between Phthalate load and diabetes - How? By blocking insulin receptor sites and damaging the beta-cells of the pancreas. There are other potentials in the cause of diabetes and this step in the process may be one way to support someone with diabetes. This is just one example of how environmental factors may impact our health, and there are many more.
