Dear Reader,
For years, the mainstream has blamed skyrocketing cancer rates on just three things: smoking… poor diet… and bad genetics.
But now we know that’s just another one of their HUGE LIES.
Because new research shows that a common household toxin can send your cancer risk into the stratosphere.
And IT’S EVERYWHERE.
Fortunately, there are a few ways to STOP your exposure… and PROTECT yourself from this deadly toxin.
Formaldehyde is a chemical used in building materials such as particleboard, plywood, and fiberboard. It is used in glues and adhesives throughout your house.
But you can also find formaldehyde in permanent-press fabrics, paper product coatings, and certain personal care products.
In other words, formaldehyde is EVERYWHERE!
It has long been known that only a small exposure can give you headaches and cause nausea.
And now, according to a report from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it could give you leukemia, too.
The EPA is dragging their feet when it comes to officially releasing this report (surprise, surprise). But there are plenty of other studies that prove formaldehyde causes leukemia.
In fact, other research has shown that long-term formaldehyde exposure can alter the DNA in your bone marrow, which can lead to leukemia and other cancers.
The problem with all this is that it is almost impossible to get away from formaldehyde.
Things like air filtration systems and avoiding household items that contain formaldehyde can help reduce your exposure.
And here are a few other ways to protect yourself.
Dr. Scott’s Toxic Protection Protocol:
- Antioxidants: There are many antioxidants to choose from like vitamin A, C, E, and others, but I prefer the plant phytonutrients such as carotenoids, polyphenols, flavonoids for great antioxidant protection. Examples include green tea extract – called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), red wine extract (resveratrol), pycnogenol, olive leaf extract, curcumin, and others.
- Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, and turnip greens, contain high amounts of good chemicals called glucosinolates. The liver uses glucosinolates to purge toxins from your body.
- Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM): These are both found in cruciferous vegetables, but it is best to supplement with them. I suggest taking I3C 200 mg of I3C and 100 milligrams of DIM every day.
- B Vitamins: Your liver needs your help removing formaldehyde and the B Vitamins (especially Vitamin B12, Folate, Betaine, and Choline) are great at doing this. These nutrients, known as methyl donors, a biochemical process known as methylation – which boost the detoxification process. Good dietary sources include meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, spinach, beets, and quinoa.
