If you have found it next to impossible to lose weight and keep it off, you need to read this: A major and hidden underlying cause of the obesity epidemic in the United States is the accumulation of toxic levels of phthalates in the human body.
Phthalates are man-made chemicals used to soften and increase the flexibility of plastic and vinyl. Phthalates are everywhere now and are unavoidable. They are used in hundreds of everyday consumer products. Research has documented their wide-ranging negative health impacts, including inducing obesity.
According to government reports, phthalates are the single-most prevalent pollutant in the human body. They are 10,000 more concentrated than any other chemical found in the body. Phthalates are so pervasive nowadays that children as young as six have levels that used to only be found in people aged 40 and older!
Phthalates are chemical enemy #1. They stockpile in the body and overwhelm our ability breakdown and excrete them. Phthalates not only contribute to weight gain and obesity, they have been found to be a contributing factor in chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, ADHD, infertility, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, allergies, asthma, cancer, autism, anxiety, and depression.

- Intravenous infusions of potent antioxidants, including high-dose vitamin C and glutathione. This quickly begins the process of removing phthalates from the body.
- As much as possible, avoid purchasing food, beverages, cosmetics, and toiletries contained in plastic.
- Drink lots of pure water and take targeted supplements to increase the rate that toxins are excreted through the kidneys and liver.
- Engage in activities designed to make you perspire to increase the rate that toxins are excreted through the sweat glands. Such activities include regular vigorous exercise and use of a sauna.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what disease you have. What matters is the underlying cause of that disease and, most importantly, what biochemical corrections are needed to combat the cause and reverse the disease. This is how medicine in America should be practiced and it is how we practice it at our office.
