7 Toxins That Weaken Immunity and How To Detox
Many toxins weaken immunity and cause widespread immunosuppression. Your immune system is your body’s defense system and fends off bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and toxins. Unfortunately, our world is full of toxins that can compromise your immune system and increase your risk of infections, illness, and disease. Fortunately, some natural support strategies support detoxification, weakened immunity, and health.
In this article, I will discuss the importance of healthy immunity. You will learn how toxins may disrupt your immunity. You will learn about the top 7 toxins that may weaken your immunity. I will share my top tips to detox and support healthy immunity.
Importance of Healthy Immunity
Your immune system is incredibly important. It is your body’s defense system, your friend, your protector, and your bodyguard. Your immune system’s job is to protect you from infections and health problems caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and toxins.
Your immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs. Together, they help to stop invaders, foreign pathogens, and malignant cells from entering your system and help to remove them if they get inside your body to protect you.
Having healthy immunity is critical for your overall health. A healthy immune system lowers your risk of getting an infection, getting sick, or developing a disease. A healthy immune system may support a quick and successful recovery from infection and illness. A compromised immune system may have a more difficult time protecting you and may have a more difficult time supporting recovery.
A healthy immune system is also able to down-regulate your immune response against harmless triggers, such as food or pollen, or your body tissues. If a compromised immune system is unable to do this, it can increase your risk of allergies, inflammation, and autoimmune disorders.
How Toxins Disrupt Immunity
Your immune system may get compromised due to a variety of reasons, including a poor diet, a lack of sleep, stress, poor lifestyle choices, and environmental toxins. Toxins are one of the major factors that may disrupt and weaken immunity.
According to a 2019 research published in iScience, environmental toxins may weaken your immune system against infections (1). According to scientific findings published in the book Biological Markers in Immunotoxicology, toxic agents may lead to a compromised immune system and immunosuppression (2). According to a 2005 study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, bacterial toxins may disrupt an adaptive immune system (3).
Toxins that may disrupt your immune system are all around us. They are hiding in non-organic food as pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics. They are in the air and hiding in our homes as mold, air pollution, and cigarette smoke. They are in our tap water, plastic packaging, dental fillings, conventional body, beauty, cleaning, and other household products, and clothing. To lower your toxic exposure and protect your immunity, you need to be aware of the top toxins that may weaken immunity.
Top 7 Toxins That Weaken Immunity
Knowledge is your first step to recovery and health. You must know the sources of various toxins that impact our body and weaken immunity.
While it is impossible to avoid exposure to these things altogether, it is critical to minimize your exposure and open up your drainage pathways to eliminate these chemicals from your body. Let’s learn more about the top 7 toxins that may weaken your immunity.
Glyphosate
Glyphosate is the most widely produced chemical in the world that acts to weaken immunity. It’s been used to control broadleaf weeds and grasses since the 1970s. It’s used in herbicides and over 700 agriculture, forestry, and home products. It is also the primary chemical used in Roundup, a popular chemical used by the biotech giant, Monsanto. It’s also found in other herbicides.
So why is glyphosate so bad? It is created to kill weeds by targeting the enzymes that produce the amino acids tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. The problem is that many bacteria may be susceptible to glyphosate and glyphosate may change the gut flora and compromise the health of many animals and humans.
Though the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims that glyphosate poses no risk to human health, several studies, including 2015 research published in Lancet Oncology and 2003 research published in Occupational Environmental Medicine found that glyphosate may have carcinogenic effects. Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that it is ‘probably carcinogenic’ (4, 5, 6, 7). To learn more about glyphosate, I recommend reading this article.
Mold & Mycotoxins
Mold and mycotoxins are some of the most prevalent toxins in your environment that weaken immunity. Molds are a specific type of fungi-like mold. They are very adaptable and can grow almost anywhere as long as the conditions are moist, damp, and warm.
They are often found in your bathroom, damp basements, kitchen, wallpaper, ceiling tiles, fiberglass insulation, and elsewhere. Mold is not always obvious and visible; it can be somewhere more hidden.
Mycotoxins are extremely small compounds produced by molds as a form of chemical warfare against competing molds and other organisms. These mycotoxins are extremely toxic and can cause a wide range of health problems including weakened immunity.
Various molds may also grow on your food after harvesting or before storage. They pose a serious health risk and may cause an array of symptoms from respiratory symptoms, headaches, and fatigue to gut health issues, hormonal issues, and mental health issues (8). To learn more about mycotoxins, I recommend reading this article and this article.
Phthalates
Phthalates are a group of chemicals that are incredibly toxic and weaken immunity. They are the most commonly found cosmetics but may be found elsewhere. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they are “used in hundreds of products, such as toys, vinyl flooring and wall covering, detergents, lubricating oils, food packaging, pharmaceuticals, blood bags and tubing, and personal care products, such as nail polish, hair sprays, aftershave lotions, soaps, shampoos, perfumes, and other fragrance preparations” (9).
Research is ongoing when it comes to the toxic effects of phthalates and how they weaken immunity. According to a 2009 study published in the Philosophical Transactions B, phthalates may have adverse health effects, and further research is needed (10). According to a 2010 study published in Environmental Health Perspectives, exposure to phthalates may increase the risk of breast cancer (11).
Heavy Metals
Heavy metals are one of the major toxins you may get exposed to throughout your life that weaken immunity. Heavy metals are metals with a density of 5 g/cm3 or more. In large amounts, they have adverse effects on living organisms, on our environment, and weaken immunity. Besides being potentially harmful, they also serve absolutely no beneficial role in the human body.
According to a 2014 study published in the Interdisciplinary Toxicology, some heavy metals interfere with normal biological processes and have toxic effects (12). They bind to proteins in your body that would otherwise be activated by normally occurring minerals like zinc and magnesium. They can cause oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and cellular interference.
Some common heavy metals that you may encounter include lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, and aluminum. Lead can be found in lead-containing paint, contaminated municipal tap water, cosmetics, contaminated food, and tobacco products. Arsenic can be found in pesticides, commercially grown produce, apple juice, rice products, glasswork, smelting, and semiconductor production. Mercury can be found in larger seafood, dental amalgam silver tooth fillings, and some vaccines.
Cadmium can be found in tobacco, metalworking, soldering, battery manufacturing, and contaminated foods. Aluminum can be found in some vaccinations, antiperspirant deodorant, municipal tap water, canned food and drinks, and some processed foods. You may learn more about heavy metals by reading this article.
Organophosphates
Organophosphates (OPs) are chemical substances with toxic effects. They are produced by the reaction of phosphoric acid and alcohol. Back in the 1930s, they were utilized as insecticides, but during World War II they were developed into neurotoxins by the German military. They may affect neuromuscular transmission by acting as cholinesterase inhibitors.
Some OPs are used as pesticides or insect killers in both household and agricultural applications. According to research findings and review published in the book, Gulf War and Health: Volume 1. Depleted Uranium, Sarin, Pyridostigmine Bromide, Vaccines, and long-term exposure to OPs can lead to serious neurological, neuropsychological, and/or psychiatric outcomes, and short-term, low exposure may produce negative outcomes (13).
Xylenes
Xylene, xylol, or dimethyl benzene refers to any of three isomeric dimethyl benzenes or the combination of some or all of them. Xylenes are used as a solvent, as raw materials for the manufacturing of film, dyes, and fiber, in feedstock manufacturing of polymers, and aviation fuel and gasoline.
According to a 2010 study published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, xylene may pose a serious occupational hazard and can lead to health consequences and weaken immunity (14). According to the Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry (ATSDR), xylene vapors may irritate the eyes, skin, and lungs, inhaling xylenes can lead to headaches, nausea, drowsiness, sleepiness, dizziness, and serious exposure can cause irregular heartbeat, sleepiness, stumbling, fainting, and even death (15).
Endotoxins
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), or endotoxins are toxins that are found inside a bacterial cell. They release as the cell disintegrates. They often result from bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine (small intestinal overgrowth, SIBO) or from sepsis. They may occur as a result of non-bacterial infections. Endotoxins may be released from candida and parasites resulting in a complex health issue from multiple harmful microorganisms.
When talking about endotoxins, we must talk about your gut health. Gut dysbiosis means that there is an imbalance in your gut microbiome that creates a compromised gut flora, lowers your body’s ability to fight invaders, and increases your risks and symptoms of endotoxins and biotoxin illness. Gut dysbiosis is a breeding ground for Candida and other yeast infections, bad bacteria, parasites, viruses, and pathogens. It increases your risk of harm from endotoxins that weaken immunity.
According to a 2018 study published in Environmental Health, even low levels of airborne endotoxins may have adverse respiratory health effects (16). To learn more about biotoxin illness, including the negative health effects of endotoxins, I recommend reading this article.
How To Detox and Support Immunity
When dealing with toxic exposure and a high toxic load, the first step is to do our best to avoid the main sources that weaken immunity. Once we have done that, we want to focus on opening up our detoxification and elimination pathways. Our primary drainage pathways are from our lungs, skin, kidneys, and colon. We need to enhance our respiration, perspiration, urination, and defecation systems to eliminate these toxins from our bodies.
Detoxification can sound scary, but once you start reading my recommendations on how to detox and support your immunity, you will realize that it is actually a simple and straightforward process. Here is what I recommend to detox and support your immunity:
Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition Plan
To support detoxification and healthy immunity, I recommend following an anti-inflammatory nutrition plan. First, eliminate all inflammatory foods and drinks, including refined sugar, processed foods, refined oils, deep-fried food, junk food, soda and sugary drinks, artificial ingredients, and low-fat or diet products.
Follow an anti-inflammatory nutrition plan rich in greens, vegetables, low glycemic index fruits, herbs, spices, healthy fats, and clean animal protein. To avoid exposure to pesticides, hormones, and chemicals, eat organic food.
If you are unable to choose only organic products, follow the list of Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen. Items on the ‘dirty dozen’ list should be purchased organic or skip it altogether. To learn more about the anti-inflammatory nutrition plan I recommend, read this article.
Intermittent & Extended Fasting
Fasting offers tremendous benefits as it can lower inflammation, support cellular repair and autophagy, and support immune function. Intermittent fasting is a form of fasting that cycles between a period of not eating (fasting) and a period of eating (feasting).
Beginners should start with the Simple Fast, which involves 12 hours of fasting including your overnight sleep. For example, you may stop eating after dinner at 6 pm and you can eat again at 6 am the next day. Slowly, you can increase your fasting window. The most commonly enjoyed method is 16 hours of fasting with an 8-hour eating period.
Once you are more experienced with intermittent fasting, I recommend trying an extended fast, which can last for a few days or even a week or two. During your extended fast, you are only drinking water and possibly other non-caloric, healthy drinks, such as herbal tea, and refrain from food. To learn more about intermittent fasting, I recommend reading this article. To learn more about extended or water fasting, I recommend reading this article.
Great Hydration & Water Filtration
Good hydration is incredibly important for detoxification as it helps to remove toxins through sweat and urine. I recommend starting your day with 32 ounces of water and drinking throughout the day, every hour or so, at least 10 glasses a day in total.
In addition to water, I recommend adding some herbal tea, green juices, green smoothies, shakes, and hydrating vegetables and fruits. Remove any dehydrating sodas, sugary drinks, caffeine, and alcohol.
Make sure that you drink clean water by investing in a good filtration and purification system and using glass or stainless-steel bottles instead of plastic. (Avoid bottled water or unfiltered tap water.)
I recommend systems like Aquatrue or the Berkey system for low-cost filtration. The best water is the UltraLux Triple Action Hydrogen Water Machine which is what I use at home as it is powered by molecular hydrogen which reduces oxidative stress in the body and improves immune function.
Add a slice of lime for some extra flavor. Additionally, make sure to eat plenty of hydrating vegetables and low glycemic index fruits, and drink green juices, green smoothies, bone broth, and herbal tea.
Exercise & Movement
Regular exercise and movement are essential for your overall health and also support detoxification through sweating. I recommend exercising at least 3–5 times a week for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
Mix up cardiovascular activities, such as rebounding, hiking, running, biking, swimming, dancing, or aerobics, strength and resistance training, such as weight lifting, bodyweight workouts, kettlebell workouts, or CrossFit, and low-impact exercises, such as Pilates, yoga, Barre workout, Tai Chi, and light walks.
Stay active throughout the day by taking a stroll in the park, going for a walk during lunch, taking a bike ride, walking or biking for short distances instead of driving, playing with your kids and pets, playing backyard games, gardening, dancing to your favorite song, using a standing or treadmill desk, getting up from your chair and stretching regularly, and opting for the stairs instead of the elevator.
Improve Bowel Motility
Improving your bowel motility is critical for detoxification. Make sure to drink plenty of water, eat fiber-rich nutrient-dense foods, consume prebiotic and probiotic-rich foods, and exercise regularly. To support bowel motility, magnesium is a helpful supplement. I recommend Oxy-Powder, a magnesium and oxygen-based colon cleanser.
Additionally, coffee enemas are another great practice for bowel motility and detoxification. Enemas may help to remove old waste stuck to your intestines and the coffee in the enema may help to bind and pull out toxins effectively. Use 3 tablespoons of organic coffee to 4 cups of water in your enema kit. To learn more about the benefits of coffee enemas, I recommend reading this article.
Daily Sun Exposure & Grounding
Vitamin D is essential for your immune health and well-being which is why I recommend daily sun exposure. Make sure to spend 15 to 30 minutes in the sun daily. Avoid the midday sun to protect yourself from damaging UV rays. Even if you live in a colder climate make sure to spend at least a short time outside daily in the sun.
Combine this practice with grounding. Walking or standing barefoot on grass, dirt, sand, or on the ground outdoors helps you to receive benefits from the electromagnetic energies of the Earth. To learn more about the benefits of grounding, I recommend reading this article. To optimize your vitamin D levels, in addition to daily sun exposure, I recommend a daily dose of vitamin D supplementation as well.
Dry Brushing & Epsom Salt Baths
Dry brushing and Epsom salt baths are both wonderful for your health. Dry brushing supports your lymphatic system and helps to remove dry, old skin and toxins on the surface of your skin. It is best to practice dry brushing daily before your shower or bath. Use a soft, natural brush and brush your body in circular motions towards your heart.
Epsom salt baths help to pull out salts and toxins from your body and allow magnesium and sulfate to enter to support your health. Add 1 to 2 cups of Epsom salt to your bath and soak for 20 minutes. To learn more about dry brushing, I recommend reading this article. To learn more about the benefits of Epsom salt baths, I recommend reading this article.
Infrared Sauna Usage
Infrared sauna therapy is a form of sauna that uses infrared heaters that release infrared lights you experience as heat as it gets absorbed through the surface of the skin. It utilizes Far InfraRed Technology (FIR), which is a non-invasive light therapy that can penetrate your body as much as three inches.
It supports detoxification, offers immune support, and lowers inflammation. I recommend High Tech Health, a low EMF infrared sauna that allows deep penetrating and detoxifying heat through powerful infrared rays.
For a portable, lower-cost option, I really like the HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket here. This is also low EMF and is designed by expert Sauna maker Dr Raleigh Duncan. Your head stays out of this which most people find really comfortable and their heat tolerance increases so they can stay in longer and get more benefits from the sauna therapy.
The sauna blanket has a double-sided zipper for easy in and out and has non-toxic vegan leather for extra comfort and uses tourmaline, clay, and charcoal. The tourmaline and clay layers generate negative ions to help buffer oxidative stress, the charcoal layer binds to pollutants and the clay layer emits negative ions.
You have easy control access with a controller to turn it on and off. Use the coupon code DRJOCKERS to save 15% off on HigherDOSE products including the Sauna Blanket.
Air Filtration
To detoxify your body and reduce toxic exposure, treating your air at home is incredibly important. Remember, mycotoxins and allergens can hide anywhere and release their spores and toxins in the air. A good air filtration system is critical for filtering out microscopic toxins from your air at home and, if possible, at your workplace.
I recommend that you get a HEPA filter that meets the necessary standards and captures 99.97 percent or more of pollutants at 0.3 microns. I recommend the Air Doctor with a hospital-grade HEPA filter for your home along with a dual action gas trap VOC filter to deactivate major indoor air toxins.
Oil Pulling
Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that helps to pull out toxins from your body by squishing oil in your mouth. This practice is great for dental and oral hygiene, skin and hair health, reducing pain, and fighting parasites and other toxins.
Start your day by swishing a tablespoon of coconut or extra-virgin olive oil in your mouth, then brush your teeth thoroughly. To learn more about the benefits of oil pulling, I recommend reading this article.
Castor Oil Packs
Castor oil packs have been around since ancient Egypt. They may help to promote the circulation of blood around an organ, around an area of your body, and increase the flow of fluids through your lymphatic system. They support detoxification.
To use castor oil packs, relax on your back, add some castor oil on your belly and massage it clockwise, put a flannel cloth on your belly, place a hot water bottle on top, and cover it with a towel. Relax like this for 45 minutes to an hour. To learn more about the benefits and usage of castor oil packs, I recommend reading this article.
Use Bioactive Carbons
Bioactive Carbons are a form of carbon that helps to create and sustain life in a cell. They support detoxification and overall health. They include two essential plant-based acid extracts: fulvic and humic acid. Both of these extracts are compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, the same elements that also make up nearly all of your body.
It is not surprising that bioactive carbons may help your body fight pathogens and toxins, support your immune system, and improve your overall health. Depending on your goals, there are a variety of bioactive carbons you may try. To detox from mold, ammonia, or gut-induced endotoxins, I recommend BioToxin Binder. I usually have my clients do 1–2 caps, 2–3 times daily for 3–6 months to help clear these toxins.
To detox heavy metals and glyphosate, I recommend HM-ET Binder. I usually have my clients do 1–2 caps, 2–3 times daily for 3–6 months to help clear these toxins.
To support the mineralization of your body and cell energy, I recommend CT-Minerals which is a great thing to use while taking the bioactive carbon binders to support mitochondrial energy levels. To learn more about bioactive carbons, I recommend reading this article.

Dear Dr David Jockers,
Thank you very much for your articles, I see them very valuable for patient education. I am a family and functional physician, as well professor at the health faculty. This article in particular, I would like to share it with my students in class. Respecting, of course, your rights and citing the origin, could I use some data and images for that purpose? Thank you very much.
Dr Ramon Unzueta Hoffmann. Md. FM.
Yes of course you can Dr Hoffman!
Hello, I enjoy your articles and talks… the are SO MANY ERRORS in this article (spelling, e.t.c), it needs to be
checked/ corrected.
Thanks for sharing and we will look into editing this one. Blessings!
Just read this and amazed at all the helpful info, as usual! Passing on to my facebk posts and to my large family! Appreciate all of this very much!
Great to hear this was so helpful! Thanks for sharing and being a part of our online community! Blessings to you and your family!
Dr David, You are an Angel, You do not need anything more for us! You give us everything! God bless You and your familiy! Branko
Thank you for all your support! Blessings!
Love these thorough, helpful lessons you freely share with us! Thank you so much. God bless you.
Thank you and blessings to you and your family as well!
I regretfully took the J&J Vaccine. Since then I’ve discovered what a mistake that was. I want that junk out of my body. Will your Heavy Metal Detox help?
Yes absolutely this is a big issue. Here is our basic protocol – although we recommend all the basic immune support if needed as well such as vitamin D, vitamin C, bioflavonoids, etc. Proteolytic enzymes to break down the spike proteins, liposomal glutathione to help the cell detox and the fulvic acids to get into the cells and pull out the chemicals, metals and possibly the mRNA compounds
Proteo Enzymes Take 5 caps – 3x daily away from meals (this will break down the spike protein and the inflammatory proteins)
Glutathione Boost Take 2 pumps – 2x daily before meals (powerful antioxidant – protect you from oxidative stress)
Bioactive Carbon MetChem Take 2 caps – 3x daily with or without food (powerful binder that will pull out mRNA, glyphosate, heavy metals, etc. from within the cells)
Instead of glutathione boost – another option would be the Super Glutathione – 2 caps – 2x daily.
The compound called GlyNAC (800 mg) contains N-acetyl cysteine and glycine
(an amino acid) to fight gluthathione deficiency,inflammation. It is also inexpensive.
What a wealth of knowledge this article has. I will need to read it again and also make use of the external links. Thank you so much as a lot of research must have gone into this. You have also written it in a very logical way and easy to follow and understand. I suffer from ME/CFS and Fibro and my brain fog can make it really difficult to follow info resources.
Many thanks,
Tania
So glad to hear this has been helpful! Here is another article relating to your condition: https://drjockers.com/fibromyalgia/
Taurine may also be low due to Roundup it seems. Thanks for the great information! God bless!
Meat/dairy/soy/BPA/chemicals/own fat/The Pill/baby formula/flax may make people estrogen dominant. Estrogen may make bones weaker. Ice cream’s Ca may push out Mg. Dairy may make teeth/nails/bones weak. Add Roundup to that which affect glycine and bones may explode. Eating organic is needed. Water may have Roundup in it from the groundwater. Reverse osmosis water may help or Distilled water. Wheat/oats/beans etc may have Roundup put on them at harvest time. If label on food says nonGMO that may help, but canola oil may also have Roundup and the people who label things may not realize it. NonGMO food is not the same as organic which is minus chemicals on it. GMO foods may have Roundup on them. Once bones explode they may not be fixed it seems.
Thank you so much for this very in-depth and specific information. I’ve been researching for many years and am sending this to everyone I know. You even get into the coffee enemas! wow!
I wonder what your thoughts are regarding the tooth/gum disease (but very specifically root canals) and disease. By now, you and other major health gurus know about the silver (mercury) filling dangers and have expressed them. But I don’t see enough about how bad the root canals are and I have personal experience (as we speak) regarding this.
Thanks so much for all you do.
Kathy
Yes that is a very important topic and we cover it in detail here: https://drjockers.com/holistic-dental-care/
Hello,
If someone is dealing with lymphatic congestion, should they focus on that problem before applying detox strategies mentioned in this article? I have also read your articles on lymphatic support and will likely try you your lymphatic support supplement.
Thank you.
Yes, you do need to open up the drainage pathways first (lymph, colon and kidneys)
I love reading all about the human body and what can affect it. My greatest bug bare would be a .pdf of all that is here, including the pictures. Its too much to read in one sitting when I have other work to do and can’t always get back to finish reading.
I did sign up on a few other sites to learn more, but the information did not seem accurate, call it a gut feeling, so I unsubscribed. Today everyone needs facts, there is enough false information out there to confuse most of people.
Hi Barb. This article is indeed downloadable via PDF format. Wow, thanks for bringing this up. All this time, I’ve foolishly been capturing the url and copying and pasting the written text into a wordpad document minus the pictures. It never occured to me to save it as a PDF until now. Now I will have to regather all of David’s relevant articles and save them via PDF. Grr, what an absolute nightmare. Ha-ha.
Another source of highly potent health information that can also be saved via PDF is Mercola.com. The day I subscribed to Mercola’s email newsletter, I never looked back. Mercola is now my number 1 go-to person for all my health resource needs. Mercola.com is my number 1 favourite health website not only because of the well-written, potent health articles, but because of the kinds of health-conscious people he attracts who comment there in the hundreds. Dr. Jockers website is my 2nd favourite all thanks to the highly detailed, easy-to-read information, and the extra effort he puts into his pictures. Combine Dr. Mercola’s information with Dr. Jockers information and you can’t go wrong.
When I’m on the run and need quick information about a particular fruit or vegetable, I rely on Dr. Axe’s website. You may also like Ocean Robbins website at foodrevolution.org. All these websites are 100% legit.
You spend 3 years watching health summits, masterclasses and webinars, you soon discover who the world’s number 1 best doctors are. Yep! 🙂
I no longer refer to Dr Mercola, He is very sensitive to any criticism and even censors
comments. At least this was my experience.
Thanks for all your support Barb!
Refined sugar rich manufactured food takes out white blood cells needed to fight virus, (& I think artificial sweeter does the same to take out white blood cells).
When I was pre-teenager I weaned myself off 2 teaspoons of sugar in my coffee, by reducing it by ¼ of a tea spoon each week over 2 months, it tasted a little noticeable but tolerable at the start of each week, after a few days the taste was back to normal. I just thought 7 days was a good cycle.
But I still got influenza each year because I was eating food rich with sugar, about 10 years ago, during the era doctors waited to put everyone on statins , every time my cholesterol blood test failed (it was always a borderline fail) I took more sugar rich manufactured food out on my shopping list, the last two years I had a flu attack it was not as bad as the year before. I have never had a flu needle in my life. I used to know someone maybe late middle life , never had flu in his life, never had the needle, because he is outside most days building houses, using sunlight to start the procedure to convert cholesterol to vitamin D1 -> vit D2 -> vit D3. between the liver and kidney.
Every flu season I would have a cold score on my lip, since I stopped getting seasonal flu I dont get those anymore.
Thank you for the very informative article dealing with detoxification.
You recommend hydrogen water for immune support – is it OK to use it even if on has SIBO that produces excess hydrogen?
Appreciate your response and blessings
Yes the hydrogen water is not associated with hydrogen sulfide bacteria and the hydrogen ions act as signaling agents to help strengthen intestinal cell integrity and resilience.
Very good info!!
Hello Doctor Jockers, thank soon much for these learnings.
I had a first read of this a few days back when the email was delivered, and came back for a reread but found the PEMF bit was no longer mentioned. Was there an update to the publication?
I really wanted to read that bit especially with the picture illustration.
Thank you.
Thank you Dr David for this fantastic article. To find so much info all in one article is such a blessing. You are indeed doing the Lord’s work and with such a generous spirit. You have “grown” so much since I first saw you on the Truth About Cancer and you have totally blossomed since your marriage to Angel and with the birth of your cherubs. You are blessed to be a blessing.
Thank you so much. I wish I could be treated by you and get your products including Cellcore products but very sadly I am in South Africa. Colleen
I really enjoy your news letter and all the information.
Is it sensible taking bio-active carbons together with 70 minerals and trace elements? They are both necessary, but I tend to separate the two. The reason one needs minerals and trace elements, is that carbon depletes these essentials from ones system, but if they are taken together with the carbon, the minerals and trace elements could “fill” the carbon and make it less effective (?)
I used to get terrible cramps in the morning after taking binders in the evening, but replacing electrolites in the morning makes the cramping disappear within seconds!
