Besides heavy metals, what are other potential toxic chemicals?

Heavy metals are just one type of chemical toxin that can cause an obstacle to healing. There are many others. Toxins can damage the body in insidious and cumulative ways.

Once the detoxification system becomes overloaded, toxic metabolites accumulate, and can wreak havoc on our normal metabolic processes. Besides heavy metals the long list of potential toxic chemicals includes drugs, alcohol, solvents, formaldehyde, pesticides, herbicides, and food additives. These toxic chemicals can give rise to a number of symptoms and are associated with an increased risk of certain cancers.

They are particularly harmful to the brain and nervous system and can produce such symptoms as depression, headaches, mental confusion, mental illness, tingling in the hands and feet, abnormal nerve reflexes, and other signs of impaired nervous system function. Toxins produced by bacteria and yeast in the gut can also significantly disrupt body functions and have been implicated in a wide variety of diseases including liver diseases, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, psoriasis, lupus, pancreatitis, allergies, asthma, and immune disorders.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
