Every day, you and I are being exposed to materials that are toxic to our bodies in ways that can lead to major health issues at some point in the future. I wrote a post about how toxins (xylene) weakened my immune system so it could not get rid of warts on my foot. There are over 70,000 deadly industrial chemical toxins in our environment. These chemicals challenge and deplete the body's glutathione, which is the main chemical used to stem inflammation of our cells. Inflammation is what drives autoimmunity and Hashimoto's, Fibromyalgia, MS and other autoimmune disorders.
