Over this time, I have taught tens of thousands of students and doctors, authored or co-authored 11 books, written over 100 articles in scientific journals and cared for tens of thousands of patients either directly or indirectly through sophisticated corporate wellness programs I designed and helped implement. During this time,I have seen a relentless increase in chronic disease and dramatic change in why people are becoming chronically unwell.For much of the twentieth century, the primary causes of chronic disease were nutritional deficiencies and excesses. We all know about the problems with excessive sugar, nutrient-poor food and unhealthy fat consumption. However, starting about 60 years ago, something fundamental changed. Let’s use diabetes as an example of what happened.When I first started in medical research way back in 1970, diabetes was rare. In clinical practice in the late 1970s, every year I would only see just a few patients with either Type I or Type II diabetes. But now it has become one of the most common diseases seen by doctors every day affecting around 15% of the population. Taking care of people with Type II diabetes has become the most expensive of all diseases accounting for a whopping 14% of healthcare expenditures.What happened? Toxins.Almost all the diabetes-inducing toxins are new to nature chemicals created by researchers to provide us many of the benefits and comforts of the modern world. Unfortunately, they had many unexpected side effects. These effects have been ignored or discounted by the industries dependent upon these chemicals.On the book’s website (thetoxinsolution.com) and in the book is a figure showing that thediabetes epidemic correlates closely with the growing presence of toxins in theenvironment, food and even health and beauty aids. Of course, correlation doesnot prove causation–but sure shows where to look. As you can read in TTS, Ishow the primary toxins which are causing diabetes.The purpose of The Toxin Solution is to help you understand how toxins aredamaging your health, where they come from, how to avoid them and the safestand most effective ways to get them out of your body.Extracted from Chapter 1.From the Back CoverA leader in his field and acclaimed natural medicine expert, Dr. Joseph Pizzorno has spent nearly fifty years exploring the connection between toxins and human health. In this groundbreaking and essential book, The Toxin Solution, Dr. Pizzorno delivers a scientifically proven program to immediately release our toxic burden and restore the body’s natural ability to heal.Approximately seventy-five years ago advances in chemistry brought us a wide range of new and highly practical products—everything from fast food and nonstick pans to plastic water containers and mattresses. Now they are everywhere, wreaking havoc on our bodies. The dangerous effects of these chemicals are mostly ignored by conventional medicine, leading to the assumption that sickness is inevitable as we grow older. The latest scientific research in The Toxin Solution reveals environmental toxins as the primary driver of our current health crisis, including life-threatening diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and dementia. The good news is that healing the body from toxic load is not only possible, it’s natural—and we can reclaim our health and vitality starting right now.In just eight weeks, The Toxin Solution will help readers:    Repair the liver, gut, and kidneys to function at maximum capacity    Avoid toxins in food, cleaning products, cosmetics, and more by replacing these products with safe alternatives    Heal the body from damage caused by accumulated toxins    Prepare readers to thrive in the midst of unavoidable toxins in our environmentOur bodies have a tremendous capacity to remain vital, bounce back, and even heal themselves.
