Environmental Toxins Are Slowly Killing Us

The air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink is contaminated with toxins and they are slowly destroying human health and wellbeing. That's the premise of a new book by Dr. Garry Gordon.

Detox with Oral Chelation: Protecting Yourself from Lead, Mercury, & Other Environmental Toxins (2008 — Smart Publications) is the latest book from the "father of chelation," Dr. Garry Gordon. Co-written by noted health writer David Jay Brown, the book is the strongest indictment yet of our polluted planet and the role environmental toxins play in human sickness and disease.

According to Dr. Gordon every person on this planet—to one degree or another—is suffering from heavy metal and pesticide poisoning. Every person alive today has around a thousand times more lead in their bones than anyone who lived prior to the Industrial Age.

"The Earth has become so totally polluted that everybody today is walking around with high levels of styrene, PCBs, and dioxins. They're in every human being we test today, as well as is lead, mercury, and cadmium... There is simply no escape from the particulate matter. We have poisoned our nest," Dr. Gordon says in his new book.

To illustrate his point, Dr. Gordon cites these shocking examples...

"...when the head of a company in Japan wanted to find a place to grow garlic, I had to admit to him that any garlic that you raise in the central valley of California—if it's within a quarter of a mile of the freeway—is going to be contaminated with lead because all freeways throw trash into the surrounding dirt."

"In New Zealand it is so dangerous to have your cow eat the grass that's next to the road because your cow is going to get lead poisoning. This is because New Zealand doesn't have the newer methods of refineries that we have that are relatively low lead. They have high-lead refineries, and all the gas is loaded with lead. So any car going down the street is passing cadmium out from the wearing of tires and lead from the exhaust."

"A single cabbage that is grown just a hundred yards from a freeway in California can contain a thousand times the safe level of cadmium as a result of being next to a freeway."

However, all is not lost...

Dr. Gordon believes oral chelation in the form of EDTA chelation therapy is the weapon of choice to detoxify our bodies and restore vital bodily functions to their original capacity.

In his book, Dr. Gordon explains in great detail how the mechanism by which EDTA oral chelation works to remove toxic heavy metals from the body. Says Dr. Gordon, "The combined evidence from over forty years of chelation therapy research suggests that EDTA may be the most powerful tool that we have available for detoxifying our bodies from lead and the other dangerous heavy metals that threaten our health and wellbeing with every breath that we take."
