Chemical Harming

Definition

Chemical poisoning is caused by exposure to chemicals that have harmful effects on the body. For example, chemical poisoning can severely affect the liver.

Signs and symptoms

Symptoms of chemical substance poisoning can vary greatly, and can range from skin conditions such as rashes and boils, to organ damages such as kidney or liver failure.

Trigger

Chemical poisoning most often happens in the home due to household chemical substances, or in those who are exposed to chemical substances on the job. Chemical substance poisons might enter the entire body following topical exposure to skin, breathing in toxins from the air, chronic poisoning from steady exposure at work, accidental poisoning in the home (usually young children that swallow prescription drugs or home chemicals), or even by a suicide attempt.

Because of our highly toxic atmosphere, anyone may be at risk for chemical substance poisoning, regardless of whether they reside in a commercial, urban, or perhaps a rural environment. Scientific proof shows that everyone on the planet carries residues associated with dioxin, DDT, and several other chemical substance toxins within the fatty tissue of their physiques. Moreover, concentrations of chemical substance toxins in the body continue to rise, meaning that everybody can benefit from reducing their general toxic chemical substance load.

*In severe, acute cases of chemical poisoning, seek immediate crisis help.

Organic Cures

Diet plan: Eat naturally grown foods as much as possible. A high fiber diet is particularly helpful for cleansing the body. Recommended foods include brown grain, beans, barley, lentils, oat meal, beets, celery, spinach, garlic clove, onions, almonds, brazil nuts, bananas, lemons, grapes, dates, and basic, organic yogurt. Short, regular fasts will also be recommended to reduce toxicity. (Observe our Cleansing and Detoxing section to learn more.)

Flower Essences: Take Crab Apple with regard to detoxification as well as Star associated with Bethlehem for emotional surprise or stress, if poisoning caused by any sort of accident.

Herbs: Herbs for the regeneration of liver cells are helpful, combined with those that facilitate removal of waste from the body. Specific details rely on the chemicals involved, but the general practice is to combine the tinctures associated with milk thistle, licorice, as well as dandelion leaf in equal parts as well as take 1 teaspoonful of this mixture three times a day. Considerable research and clinical trials has shown how the herb milk thistle is extremely effective in assisting the liver whenever exposed to chemical substance toxins.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the process of applying water, ice, steam and alternating cold and hot temperatures to restore health. Treatments include total body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation, and the application of warm and cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating an array of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a personal-treatment program. Hydrotherapy is particularly affective for removing toxins from the body. Many professionals including naturopathic physicians, physical therapists, and day spas use Hydrotherapy as part of their treatment routines. We suggest trying several at home hydrotherapy remedies but please seek the advice of an alternative healthcare practitioner prior to undergoing these treatments to ensure they are right for you.

*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy remedy.

For deadly carbon monoxide poisoning, include five drops of home bleach to a glass of water and as sip gradually. The bleach will help oxygenate your bodies cells, counteracting the effects of the carbon monoxide.

Dietary Supplementation: For emergency circumstances caused by chemical poisoning, an extremely high dose of ascorbic acid and glutathione given intravenously can be very useful. Other helpful nutrients consist of vitamin B complex with choline and inositol, vitamin C combined with bioflavonoids, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, garlic capsules, superoxide dismutase (SOD), raw lean meat extract, protein supplements (free of charge-form amino acids, especially L–cysteine as well as L-methionine), and selenium.

Other Treatments: Saunas may also be effective in helping chemical harming, as can normal Epsom sodium baths and skin cleaning to encourage toxin elimination.

The following process, administered by a physician, can also be helpful: Supplement with essential fatty acids like flaxseed, canola, safflower, or even sunflower essential oil (two to three tablespoons to as much as one/eight cup); company-enzymated B complicated; vitamin C; and lecithin. Eat immediately prior to a light physical exercise session or perhaps a light, dried out sauna. Soon after exercise or sauna, have a cool shower with quality soap. Those who are very sick from the toxins should follow an exercise problem which causes a lot of sweating.

Alternative Professional Treatment

If your signs and symptoms persist despite following the remedies listed above, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following expert therapies have all been shown to be helpful for treating and relieving the symptoms of chemical substance poisoning: Detoxification Therapy, Environmental Medicine, Homeopathy, Naturopathic Treatments, and Air Therapy (Peroxide Therapy as well as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy).
