Rain Barrels and Body Burden
When that when you were born, you were born with a rain barrel that contains any and all toxins that your little body had been exposed to. Your mother's body is full of toxins and without knowing, she passes some of these on to you throughout your growth as a fetus. After you were born, your mother probably breast feed you and passed on some more toxins from her fat stores. When you are old enough you get your first vaccines, which are loaded with toxins like formaldehyde, aluminum phosphate and sometimes even thimersol, your barrel fills up with a bit more toxins. Once you are a bit older you start eating fruits and veggie puree, which have been sprayed with pesticides and herbicides, again, the level of toxins in your rain barrel increases. Let's not forget to mention the clothes you are wearing, that has been washed with fabric softener, and the toothpaste you are using that contains fluoride, both which continue to fill that rain barrel. As you get older and start bathing yourself, you use all kinds of shampoos, soaps and lotions full of chemicals. All these things can eventually cause your toxic rain barrel to overflow. As you can tell, our world is full of toxins.
As our rain barrels fill up, our bodies ability to function at optimal capacity slowly decreases. Our detoxification systems are over-worked and can no longer function optimally, and we develop symptoms because our toxin levels are too high. These symptoms represent disease. Now, if we acknowledge our rain barrel and periodically empty it through detoxification procedures, we can withstand these modern day chemical stressors. When our rain barrel is only partially full, we may still experience symptoms but they may be less concerning than when our rain barrel is overflowing. Thus, our individual body burden is affected by how full our rain barrel is and how effectively our body can remove any additional toxins. However, many people don't know what symptoms of a toxic body burden are, so they take drugs to treat the symptoms and never truly treat the cause!
