Environmental Toxins, including Tick Borne Diseases -- How We Can Manage Them Better SAFELY

The environment around us is constantly changing. Our body must be able to recognize the source of the toxins, minimize the exposures, and then rid the toxins so that they do not negatively affect our health and metabolism. Many children and adults with autism spectrum disorders have some alterations in their biochemistry and genetic polymorphisms, where they are disadvantaged in their ability to cleanse and nourish their cells ideally. We need to first identify the harmful ingredients to avoid, i.e., heavy metals, chemicals, GMOs, plastics, and pesticide exposures, and then identify and rid many tick-borne diseases as well as fungal infections that augment these negative influences of our immune system.. Once we can identify these harmful agents, we ask how we can rid these toxins, reduce the inflammatory processes they create, and oxygenate the tissues safely in order for tissue repair to occur.
