Toxins Are Everywhere! How to Live in a Toxic World

This article has been medically reviewed by Dr. Charles Penick, MD

It’s true: most of us are living in a toxic world. The benefits of modern society and living in developed cities come with a large dose of toxins exposure. From the air quality to the products we put on our body, use to clean our homes, and even the food and water that we drink: toxins have made their way into almost every aspect of modern life.

As a result, detoxing has become a very popular buzz-word, but how much of these widely used methods remove toxins from the body? Generally: not at all. Without addressing the fundamentally dysfunctional cell, green powders and detox teas can do more damage than good. Thankfully, True Cellular Detox offers a simple 5 step process to truly heal the cell to get well.

What are Toxins?

Toxins are loosely defined as substances that produce harmful effects on our living cells. Exposure to toxins can occur via inhalation (breathing), direct contact (touching), as well as ingestion (swallowing). [1]

Cellular toxicity is the build-up of toxins over time that interferes with the proper functioning of our cells. [2] For many people, cellular toxicity starts at inception since we often take on toxins from our mother’s body in utero. [3]

Sources of toxins generally fall under the broad categories of pollutants, synthetic chemicals, heavy metals, and processed foods. Some examples from the categories above include:

Air pollution like car fumes
Pesticides and herbicides like Roundup
Chemicals in tap water like chlorine, fluoride, and lead
Synthetic makeup ingredients like parabens and artificial fragrances
Synthetic body care products with ingredients like
Synthetic cleaning products with ingredients like ammonia, chlorine, and sodium hydroxide
Synthetic furniture materials like formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzene, and vinyl acetate
BPAs and other plastics found in items like water bottles, food containers, and children’s toys
Refined vegetable and seed oils like canola oil, cottonseed oil, and soybean oil
Trans fats
Heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium
Mould, especially black mold
Amalgam fillings that contain mercury
Flu shot/ vaccine ingredients like aluminum, formaldehyde, and monosodium glutamate (MSG)

Symptoms of Toxin Overload

The poison is always in the dosage. [4] One acute exposure to a high dose of a specific toxin could yield catastrophic harm to an individual’s health (like when a nuclear power plant explodes). Although these situations happen, they are less common.

More common are the chronic low-dose exposure to toxins from various sources that add up over time until the body can no longer keep up with its natural detoxification processes.

It can be useful to think of toxins as a drop in a bucket. Although the body has an incredible capacity to hold many toxins (they are often stored in body fat and tissues), the bucket overflows eventually. Someone may go from feeling generally healthy to being whacked with a significant diagnosis like autoimmune conditions at the point of overflow.

Although it may seem like diagnoses come out of nowhere, they are often a long time in the making and the perfect storm of toxin-exposure to the point of overload.

Prolonged exposure to the various toxins mentioned above may cause the following symptoms:2

There is a certain degree of toxin exposure that we cannot avoid in life. The key is controlling the parts that we can and doing our best to properly detoxify from the past exposures that have built up over time.

How to Deal with Living in a Toxic World

The concept of ‘detox’ has been a health-industry buzz word for a long time. The term was initially associated with the treatment of drug and alcohol abuse, as removal from addictive substances from the body. Although the removal of toxic substances is indeed the first step of cellular detox, there are four more crucial steps to properly and effectively detoxifying your body.

For a toxic substance to safely and effectively exit the body after being stored, all detox pathways must be operating correctly. Although many substances are marketed as detox products (from green powders, laxatives, diuretics to detox teas, and even whole foods like cilantro), most of them only scratch the surface of what is required from the body to remove toxic substances from the body. And none of them will work if the cell is fundamentally dysfunctional.

True Cellular Detox

True Cellular Detox is an approach to cellular detox developed by Dr. Daniel Pompa that approaches detox from a holistic perspective, targeting the root of the problem: healing the cell.

The whole strategy is based on the ”5 Rs of True Cellular Detox and Healing,” five principles that significantly improve cellular function and support the body in healing itself. Thanks to this multi-faceted approach, the achieved cellular detox is deep, stable, and long-lasting, compared to other ”superficial” strategies like simple supplements or detox teas.

Like most ‘detox’ programs, the 5 R method starts by removing the interference of toxins. The process then delves deep into regenerating the cell membrane, restoring cellular energy, reducing cellular inflammation, and re-establishing methylation.

True cellular detox delves to the root of the problem without bypassing the essential steps that the body naturally undergoes when detoxifying. It’s important to remember that the body ultimately has to be able to properly release toxic substances from their storing place and exit the body safely.

What People Are Saying About True Cellular Detox

Steve

“I have completed TCD and two brain phases. I have noticed an overall improvement in my physical well being; the chronic indigestion symptoms are much improved. Most importantly, my mental clarity has improved significantly, and the “brain fog” has lifted.”

Mindy

“The absolute greatest change I have noticed since going through the True Cellular Detox™ program is that I am sleeping through the night for the first time in years. I also notice my ability to handle stress has improved dramatically. My overall happiness level is up.”

Michael

“True Cellular Detox was one of my best decisions of the year. Detox isn’t just for the ailing and unwell. In my case, I started out feeling great and went to an entirely new level of high performance and personal transformation. If you think you have what you need for the journey before you, step into the world of True Cellular Detox, and you may just find that life has even more room for magic than you ever imagined. I did.

Before my detox, I had been running marathon distances, had been casually biohacking for a couple of years, I helped develop bleeding-edge high-technology, helping bring Microsoft’s holographic computing platform HoloLens from research to the market, even to the International Space Station. I have an amazing wife and two children under five. Why detox? I was curious. I just wanted to experience what would happen if I applied all my faculties to genuinely living the healthiest and fullest, and most present life I could be. What might it be like? Does the experience of life plateau? Or does it expand further?

I had lab work done before and after the detox—a lot of lab work. I picked out three health areas I was interested in making progress on hormones, metals, and metabolism. I picked goals. And, three months later—I knocked it out of the park in two areas. It appears things went better in other areas of my life, as I got a promotion. More importantly, I get a much greater sense of connection and camaraderie with my wife and children (priceless). If that wasn’t enough, even stranger—perhaps more extraordinary things started happening—I began to collaborate on projects with my favorite authors, business leaders, and heroes. And, curiously, I began to discover more time and space in my life. I went from reading a book a month to reading about six books a month. I had more time for spiritual growth and contemplation. All from a detox!?!? Strange. Isn’t it?

I’ve been so convinced TCD was a critical part of those transformations that I’ve been working with individuals facing health challenges and steering them towards TCD to help preserve the best of them. But, for all of us, there is something to be gained from TCD. I dare you to see what happens when you throw yourself into being as full, whole, and healthy as you can be. You may just find that for every drop you give, you get a bucket in return.

A huge thank you to the team Revelation Health.”

Carol Ann

“This is my first intermittent fasting for five days.

I no longer experience brain fog that had been my constant companion.

My gut needs to healing. I am Looking forward to seeing further improvements on True Cellular Detox!!”

Scott

“I lost 12 pounds in the first five weeks!

I feel so much better, with more energy, and haven’t been this weight since high school. Most importantly, I’ve been given hope to regain my health and the health of my family.”

Sharon

“Been sick for six decades. Thanks to TCD, I started eating food again after only having two foods left I could eat. I feel blessed that I have been led to TCD to transform my life. I have great things happening yet plan to repeat the program for quite a while until I have optimal health, which I have never had since birth. There is new hope, thanks to this gift! I have a new life starting.”

Tera

“I was fully aware that I needed a mercury and aluminum detox but knew about the dangers of stirring up mercury and did not want to do that without appropriate binders. This has been a scientific breakthrough and a well- designed, doable program that really works by removing toxins but is gentle enough because it binds them. How I wish this was available and I could have done this 20 years ago.

Thanks for all your support and this program. It would have definitely been challenging to sort through this and press on when there are symptoms without the support forum. You very honorable to all the different kinds of questions.

I am definitely feeling better after doing even one Brain phase. However, I plan to continue it for a while. Systemic Formulas seems to agree very much with my body, whereas some other product lines I have tried do not. So again, thank you to the creators of the products! If this program had not been offered when it was (I was aware of the program and wanted to do it). I would have put it off and probably not made it through it without support. This was a timely offer for me. I can definitely focus better, plan better, headaches are less, SIBO is better, and I’m in a better mood, and have more energy. Praise God for bringing all of this together in one place.

Bless you, as lives continue to be changed.”

Summary

Although detoxification has become a popular buzzword in the health industry, most detox products found on the shelves of stores across American do not safely or effectively promote detoxification. As our bodies accumulate toxins over the years of our life, generally through. Chronic low-level exposures, the cell loses function, as do the body’s natural detox pathways. True cellular detox requires a multi-faceted approach that heals the cell from the ground-up so that the body can restore its ability to safely and effectively purge toxins from its storing places.

The 5 R method explores removing the interference of toxins that are entering the body, regenerating the cell membrane, restoring cellular energy, reducing cellular inflammation, and finally re-establishing methylation. By going upstream to the root of the problem, True Cellular Detox can enable safe and effective elimination of pollutants from the body.
