DISCLAIMER AND NOTICES
The information and recommendations outlined in this presentation are not intended as a
substitute for personalized medical advice. The presentation proposes certain theoretical
methods of nutrition, not necessarily mainstream. It is left to the discretion, and it is the sole
responsibility of the user of the information indicated in the presentation, to determine if
procedures and recommendations described are appropriate for a patient. Neither the authors
nor the sponsors (such as Apex Energetics) of this information can be held responsible for the
information or any inadvertent errors or omissions of the information.
The information in this presentation should not be construed as a claim or representation that
any procedure or product mentioned constitutes a specific cure, palliative
or ameliorative. Procedures and products described should be considered as adjunctive
to other accepted conventional procedures deemed necessary by the attending
licensed doctor.
It is the concern of the Department of Health and Human Services that no homeopathic and
nutritional supplements be used to replace established, conventional medical approaches,
especially in cases of emergencies, serious or life threatening diseases or conditions.
We share in this concern, as replacing conventional treatment with such remedies,
especially in serious cases, may deprive the patient of necessary treatment and thereby
cause harm as well as potentially pose a major legal liability for the health professional
involved. Apex formulas should not be used as replacements for conventional
medical treatment.

Exposure: We Live in a World of
Toxins

What Are Toxins?
A toxin is any substance that
creates irritating and/or
harmful effects on the body,
undermining our health, or
stressing our biological and
biochemical functions.

Toxins Are All Around
Us…
Environmental Toxins: Many of the toxins abundant
today did not even exist 30 years ago!

What Contributes to Our
Toxic Burden?
We are all exposed to thousands of
toxins and chemicals on a daily basis
at work, in the home, through the air
we breathe, our food and water
supply, and through the use of
pharmaceutical drugs.

Where Toxins Come From…
External Toxins
 Heavy Metals
 Amalgams
 Alcohol
 Damaged fats/foods
 Drugs (Rx & OTC)
 Smoke
 Agriculture treatments
 Environmental pollutants
 Petrochemicals
 Solvents, and industrial
chemicals
 Food additives

What Else Contributes to Our
Toxic Burden?
Internal exposure: Metabolic
wastes are created every day in our
bodies from the production of
energy and the metabolism of
hormones from exercise, as well
as the breakdown and clearing
of toxins.

How Does Toxicity Occur?
 Multiple small exposures
to toxins
 One large exposure
 Exposure to a potent toxin
such as mercury

How Does Toxicity Occur?
 When the body is overloaded
with toxins that it is unable to
effectively break down
and eliminate
 When our vitality is low and
metabolism is slow

Total Toxic Exposures
External/Environmental toxins
+ Internal/Metabolic waste
Total Toxic Load

Reality Check
In 33 years, the EPA has tested for safety only 200 and banned only
five of the more than 80,000 chemicals in commerce.

The Fourth Annual Report on
Human Exposure to
Environmental Chemicals
 The CDC 2009, report provides an ongoing assessment of the exposure
of the U.S. population to environmental chemicals.
 The chemicals were measured in blood, serum, and urine from random
samples of 2500 participants from the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES).
Fourth Annual Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals,
2009, at www.cdc.gov/exposurereport

CDC Report on Industrial
Chemicals
Findings in the Fourth Report indicate widespread exposure to some
commonly used industrial chemicals:
 Fire retardants that accumulate in the environment and
in human fat tissue were found in the serum of all of the
NHANES participants.
 BPA (from plastic) was found in 90% of the urine samples
of the participants.
 PFOA—contained non-stick coatings in cookware—was found in most
participants.
 Lead in children is still a concern.

CDC Position on Chemical
Exposure
“The presence of an environmental chemical in people’s blood or urine
does not mean that it will cause effects or disease. The toxicity of a
chemical is related to its dose or concentration, in addition to a person’s
individual susceptibility. Small amounts may be of no consequence,
whereas larger amounts may cause adverse health effects.”
Fourth National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals,
2009 at http://www.cdc.gov/exposurereport

Effects of Toxins

Toxins in Newborns
 In 2005, Environmental Working Group undertook a study to determine
the amount of toxins in “cord blood.” The investigators analyzed the
chemicals in 10 samples donated to the American Red Cross and taken
from hospitals around the U.S. They found 287 chemicals, including two
chemicals that were banned in the 1970’s. Many are known carcinogens,
brain irritants, and 208 are known to cause birth defects:
 Mercury
 Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs): polytetrafluoroethylene,
food wrappings, fabric protectants
 Polybrominated dibenzodioxins: flame retardants, plastics
 Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): gasoline
 Organochlorine pesticides: DDT (banned in 1972)
 Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs): computers, television sets
 Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs): plastics

Breast Cancer Begins in Utero
Trichopolous, D., et.al. “Hypothesis: Does Breast Cancer Originate in Utero?
Lancet, 1990, 335:939-940.
E. Ekbom, Trichopolous, D., et.al. “Evidence of Prenatal Influences on Breast
Cancer Risk,” Lancet, October 24, 1992, 340(8826):1015-8.
Dr. Dimitrios Trichopoulos, an epidemiologist from the Harvard School
of Public Health, conducted an analysis of breast cancer cases over three
generations over a 70-year span in Sweden. He concluded that,
“exposure to excess estrogen or estrogenic chemicals in the womb may
program fetal breast cells, permanently imprinting the developing cells
with traits that they would not otherwise have had.” The researchers
concluded that prenatal factors are important in breast carcinogenesis.

Study on Toxicity in Five
Environmental Justice Leaders
Jacob, A., et.al. The Chemical Body Burden of Environmental Justice Leaders,
May 2009, Environmental Working Group at
http://ewg.rg/report/Pollution-in-5-Extraodinary-Women
Scientists recently studied five female environmentalists from across the United
States. The study was sponsored by EWG in conjunction with Rachel’s
Network, and the testing was targeted toward compounds that are heavily used
in everyday consumer products. Labs in different parts of the world performed
tests on blood samples taken from these women and found traces of at least 48
different chemicals– most notably fire retardants, synthetic fragrances, rocket
fuel perchlorate and Bisphenol A, which is found in contaminated drinking
water. Mercury, lead and polytetrafluoroethylene were also found. Since all of
these women were trying to live a less toxic lifestyle, they were surprised to find
such high levels of chemicals in their bodies.

Americans Carry the Burden
of a Toxic Sunscreen Chemical
Hanson, K., Gratton, E. Bardeen, CJ., 2006, Sunscreen enhancement of UV-
induced reactive oxygen species in the skin, Free Radical Biology & Medicine,
41(8):1205-1212.
A new study by the CDC reveals that 97% of Americans (NHANES) are
contaminated with a widely used sunscreen ingredient called oxybenzone
that has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage.
Oxybenzone is a “penetration enhancer” in that it helps other chemicals
penetrate the skin.

Oxybenzone Penetrates the Skin
Sutton, R. CDC: Americans Carry Body Burden of Toxic Sunscreen Chemical,
March 2008 at http://www.ewglorg/analysis/toxicsunscreen
The EWG research shows that 84% of 910 brands of sunscreen products
contain oxybenzone.

Popular Insect Repellent is
Neurotoxic
Corbel, V, et.al. Evidence for inhibition of cholinesterases in insect and
mammalian nervous systems by the insect repellent DEET, BMC Biology,
August, 5, 2009 at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/7/47/abstract
A research study has shown that “DEET” actually functions like the deadly
nerve gas, Sarin, and in a similar manner to organophosates by attacking the
nervous systems of both insects and mammals. The researchers found that
“DEET” is not simply a behavior-modifying chemical but also inhibits the
activity of a key central nervous system enzyme, acetylcholinesterase….”
Nerve gases and organophosphates irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase,
leading to salivation and eye watering at lower doses, and muscle spasms or
death at higher doses. The lead scientist at Duke University states that
insect repellents should carry warning labels.

Where Do We Store the Toxins?
 In the brain
 In fat tissue
 In the liver
 In the lymph system
 In the extracellular matrix
of the spleen

What is Detoxification?
 Dislodging of toxins from their binding sites in the body
 Support of the elimination process through the liver, kidneys, skin,
lungs, and lymph system
 Clearing and filtering toxins and waste products
 Allowing our body to work on enhancing its basic functions

Why Detoxification?
 We cannot avoid getting toxins
into our system!
 Toxins accumulate and need to
be cleared.
 Increase energy and vitality.
 Strengthen organs of
detoxification.

How We Detoxify
 80% is done by the liver
 Breaks down toxins into water-soluble chemicals that
can be excreted.
 Proteins and other natural substances bind to the toxins.
 Toxins are eliminated through the liver.
 Toxins are eliminated through urine, perspiration, and
through the skin.
 Drinking water every day
 Eating healthy foods: fiber, good fats, fruits, vegetables, protein

Healthy Digestion is Essential for
Keeping a Low Toxic Load
Strong Digestion:
 Is responsible for digestion,
absorption of nutrients, and
elimination of wastes.
 Ensures availability of key
nutrients necessary to
neutralize toxins in the liver.
 Minimizes undigested foods
that are causing
inflammation, food
sensitivities, and allergies.

Keys to Healthy Digestion
 Chew your food!
 Enzymes
 Peristalsis
 Stomach acid
 Enzymes
 Bile and bile salts
 Bowel flora
 Fiber

Keys to Healthy Digestion:
Stomach Acid Basics
 Stomach acid or hydrochloric acid is produced in the parietal cells found in
the stomach lining.
 Initiates the breakdown of protein in the stomach, facilitates absorption of
minerals, destroys pathogens, stimulates peristalsis, and HCL secondarily
stimulates the release of enzymes into the small intestines.
 As we age, we produce less hydrochloric acid.
 It is common for people to experience heartburn when there is less HCL.
 Low stomach acid also leads to infections.

Symptoms of Low Stomach
Acid
 Gas and bloating
 Feeling of fullness up to
two hours after meals
 Acid indigestion
 Stomachaches
 No taste for meat
 Asthma
 Foul breath
 Sores in mouth

Supporting Healthy HCL
Balance
The goal is to increase production of hydrochloric acid:
 Apple cider vinegar
 HCL-ProZyme™ (Z26)
 Herbal bitters
 Sip water at each meal,
but don’t drink a full
glass of water.
 Relax at meal times.
For Nutritional Purposes Only.

Healthy Digestion: Enzymes
 Digestive enzymes:
protease, lipase, amylase,
and many others
 Secreted by pancreas for
release into the small
intestines
 Food is fully digested,
broken down and absorbed

Symptoms of Low Enzyme
Output
 Gas
 Bloating
 Pain in the middle
part of the abdomen

Healing Options for Increasing
Enzymes
 Eat wholesome, fresh, organic foods.
 Eat fermented foods: yogurt (goat),
cabbage juice, sauerkraut,
pickled ginger.
 Do not overeat.
 Chew well before swallowing.
 Take digestive enzymes:
 Super DigestZyme™ (Z22)
 GlutenFlam® (K52)

Healthy Digestion: Bile and Bile
Salts
 The liver produces bile, which contains bile salts, which are then stored in
the gallbladder. Toxins, hormones, and waste products collect in the bile.
 Cholesterol is also broken down by the bile salts or acids, which emulsify
and break down fats, making them easier to digest. If it is not efficiently
broken down, it can collect as stones in the gallbladder.

Increasing Bile Salts
 Drinking citrus juices
 Lemon
 Lime
 Herbal teas and herbal
remedies:
 Dandelion root
 Jerusalem artichoke
 Milk thistle
 Beets
 Fiber

A Healthy Bowel
 The last bit of digestion happens
when whatever is left of the
food–mainly water, bacteria
and fiber–enters the large
intestine.
 Constipation
 Diarrhea
 Bowel flora: probiotics

Consistent
Elimination
 Increase fiber by eating fresh vegetables
and fruit.
 Make sure that you are consuming
adequate amounts of filtered water.
 Exercise to assist with regularity.
