How Environmental Toxins Impact Brain Health

Introduction to Environmental Toxins 0:00

Welcome to the reverse brain disorder summit. I'm your host, Doctor David Jacobs, and today's topic is a really important one. It is on how environmental toxins impact brain health. You know, there was a study done 2005. It was reported by the Environmental Working Group. And what they found was that the average baby, they took all these different babies and they looked at their umbilical cord blood. Right. So the umbilical cord, what's connecting them to the placenta to mom. And they found the average baby had 287 toxic chemicals, 180 that were known carcinogens and 217 that were toxic to the brain.

So when we're talking about brain health, we really have to look at toxins. I mean, we're being bombarded by toxins. The average individual out there has over 700 toxic chemicals that are that we can find actually in their urine. So this is a really, really big issue. And so I wanted to bring on an expert. So my friend Doctor Jacob in more is an expert. You can find him at Doctor moore.com. But doctor doctor Jabin is a doctor located in Kansas City, Missouri. He works virtually with clients all around the world.

At age 25, he went from being an award winning top athlete in college to feeling like he couldn't even get out of bed. He went to a lot of appointments looking for answers. Spent what felt like endless amounts of money on tests and appointments. But doctors only wanted to give him Band-Aids. He later was diagnosed with Lyme disease, and he dedicates his practice so he was able to heal naturally. And now he dedicates his practice to helping clients get to the root cause of their chronic illness. He specializes in Lyme disease and co-infections, pans and pandas, autism, heavy metals, parasites, gut health, mitochondrial support, and other viruses and pathogens.

So check them out at Doctor Jason Morcombe. And we're going to talk all about how environmental toxins impact brain health. So with that said, let's go right into the presentation. Doctor Javon Moore, always great to have a conversation with you. I know you're a wealth of knowledge when it comes to environmental toxins. So really excited about this topic. Yeah. Me too. I did an entire summit on this topic, so information from at least 40 different people is going to be pouring out today. And this is something that everybody needs to know about, because there's more than 80,000 chemicals in the United States that are name that we're dealing with on every single day basis.

And there is research coming out every single day showing that these chemical toxicities are in correlation with improving or improving with increasing chronic disease. Blue Cross and Blue Shield came out of the study recently, showing a 400% increase in Alzheimer's in 35 to 40 year olds. Wow, 400% increase. I mean, it's we have an epidemic going on. And so let's talk about how environmental toxins, what they're actually doing in our body, how do they play a role in chronic illness and autoimmune conditions.

So these chronically well or chronically getting them into us all the time. So this is affecting a multitude of things. It affects cellular health. It affects immunity. It affects, neurodevelopment. So one way that I want to talk about this, we're just going to take it from, you know, conception on right here for a moment. There was a study done on mothers and mothers that had the highest amount of phthalates in their body, which is a plastic. So it's a it's a, a chemical that makes plastic harder and is a forever chemical.

It's not going to break down in your body. Women that had the highest amount and a study. So they break the study into four different sections had a 7% decrease in IQ of their child. So this is decreasing intelligence and children. And that was a study done. But then we look at also the fact that autism has gone from when I was a kid. I'm 36 at one in 5 to 10,000 kids. So now it's 1 in 32. So we're seeing that it's affecting neurological development and and just the birthing process, the development process there.

So that's one way that these chemicals are affecting us that we're seeing. And there's a multitude of other ways we're seeing decreases in fertility because certain chemicals like BPA, a, which is another plastic byproduct, is getting into the body. And it is what's called an endocrine disruptor. So we can, of course, go into some more of these different over time. But an endocrine disruptor gets into your body and it blocks your hormones from being able to get to the receptor they're supposed to get to.

So let's just talk about what that means. You have a receptor. So if you can visually see me I'm also going to describe it.

How Toxins Affect Brain Development and Hormones 4:46

You've got this little y out here that you want to connect the hormone to. And a BPA will get in the way of that. And it will block it to where your estrogen, your testosterone, progesterone, other hormones to thyroid hormones can't get that to that receptor. Therefore they're not telling your body to do their appropriate job. So for instance, thyroid you want it to get to your cell to tell it to create energy have a metabolism. And if it's being blocked then we're tired even though our body is making that hormone and, if you're paying attention, if you're looking around, if you're like myself and working with patients, you're seeing a massive change in hormones all around us where deficiencies of thyroid, estrogen and testosterone is increasing rapidly.

Yeah, it's it's it's really bad stuff. You know, I know years ago I used to tell my patients when I would, do workshops in my office about the environmental working group and what they found in 2005 when they actually looked at the umbilical cord blood. Babies. Right. So you think they should be as clean and pure as possible at that stage? And they found, you know, the average, baby had 287 toxic chemicals, 180 were known carcinogens, and 217 were known to cause damage to the brain. So, I mean, no wonder why, you know, now we're looking at that was 2005, 17 years later.

We've got so much autism, so many different mood disorders, ADHD. These children are coming out already, you know, full of toxins because mom is toxic. And, you know, we've got tremendous health issues going on. And so you mentioned BPA, you mentioned phthalates, things that were obviously getting in. You know, everybody's drinking out of water, a plastic water bottles and things like that. What are some of the more overlooked toxins that, our medical world really, because people will talk about, you know, we see BPA free, you know, all over the place, all that, you know, things that are BPA free aren't necessarily free of toxins.

There's free of BPA. And we can go into that as well. But what are some of the more overlooked toxins that, you know, most people in society, the media really is not reporting on. So, yeah, you said 286 chemicals and the, the umbilical cord. And by the way, they actually redid that study in Europe. And confirmed it. Yeah. So I was just like, okay, now we have double confirmation of this as an issue. But you know, I was I was looking through Yahoo one day and here's a picture of a frog. And I was like, well that's a cute looking little tree frog.

And the study that was done was atrazine changed this frog from a male frog to a female frog. And atrazine is a type of pesticide that they're spraying all over the place. I'm here in the Midwest, and they're spraying this on all types of crop that we're eating. So if you're not eating GMO or you're not GMO free, or you're not eating pesticide free organic, they're spraying this on there and that gets into your body. And although I don't know that there's a lot of great studies at this point on humans and what it's doing to us, I mean, we know that it can be cancerous.

There are a few. But as far as changing us from male to female, I'm not sure on that one. But that's one of the things that we're seeing is our food supply has glyphosate on it has atrazine on it has, two, four D on it. There's so many pesticides, all of our food that it's talked about. There are people saying some things. There's definitely organic food coming out, but my clients are walking into my clinic. If they're not following your email list, if they're not on my emails, they're not getting a constant update of, hey, these are the foods that are being soaked in pesticide.

You know, gluten free became really, really popular as a gluten free. Everything now, right. Well, one of the conversations that I like to talk about is, well, why is gluten a problem? Well, there's a multitude of reasons. And whether it's hybridizing it, genetically modifying it. But there's also the problem that there they're harvesting this stuff. And then in Kansas City and Kansas, here in Missouri, what they do is they'll harvest all that. And if it can't get into the grain silos, they put on the ground, and when they put it on the ground, they don't want mold to grow on it.

So they pour dominating agents all over it. So you're you're soaking your grain in chemical right after it's being cut, after it's already got pesticides all over it. And then it sits. And how long does it set? It sits for a week, a month, a year. I've seen the same pile for a year, driving by it on down the street, and then chemicals are being put in it by molds, because mold still will grow over time. After that, the magic comes off of it. So now you have pesticides, the emanating agents mold all on this grain before it even gets shipped to a factory to then have it broken down, added more chemicals to, and then served to you as a donut, a cereal, or something else.

So I like to go through that because it just opens people's eyes to, you know, how do you get this grain, the seeds of grain that's outgrowing in your field to a donut, and there's a lot of chemicals that go into that process? Oh, without a doubt. I mean, we think about donuts as chemicals when you look at the ingredients, but there's a lot of things that are chemicals. Even before they become ingredients, like you mentioned, you know, just the wheat itself. Right? It's just laden with chemicals that are not going to you're not going to find on the ingredient list.

And so yeah, so I mean, we're just we're being bombarded by these toxins. And so let's talk a little bit about, you know, mold and mycotoxins. You mentioned why we're using some of those chemicals. We want to want the for example, the wheat in this case to get mold and to get mycotoxins. But, you know, in general we can find mold and mycotoxins on a lot of food that's out there and also just in our environment as well. Absolutely. You know, mold in my clinic, my clinic has chronic illness. Mold is one of the biggest things I talk about, because this can just change the direction of your life in a few days.

For some people, mold. If you move into a moldy house or say it has stinky boxes, which is black mold, the dreaded black mold, right? And you live there and you don't know it, and you are there for a week. This can suppress your immune system. There are studies to show microfluidic acid, which is a toxin for mold, is actually so powerful and it can be used as a medication to suppress your immune system. So you can have transplant. So that's how powerful it is. And molds can grow on coffees. It's extremely common.

If you're not getting a mold free coffee that it's going to have mold on it. It can grow in grains. So if you're looking at your cereals, it can do it can grow on dry fruits.

Overlooked Pesticides and Food Contamination 11:40

It can be in wine. And it's not just that you see mold and you're like, oh, let me cut that little piece off. Because if you can see mold and there is a moldy spot like this on your food, that's a million colonies. It takes a lot of colonies for you to visually be able to see it. But from there out, because this is the standard for removing it from there on sheet rock. If it's this big, you cut two foot around it on the sheet rock. So if it's on that little spot on your piece of bread, how far back into the bread and how far around does it go?

And is it okay? I probably have a little bit of that. I don't want people to be so fearful of mold that they that they don't eat anymore. You know, we have to be realistic. There is mold everywhere to some degree, but it's when it's in that very deep concentration. If I see mold on my bread, the whole loaves gone, I'm sorry. That's just the way it is. I know it can seem wasteful if I see mold at the top of my yogurt, because my wife wanted organic coconut yogurt, which means it's got to be a pretty quick well be later.

There's a little mold on the top, so I go to scrape it off. I'm like, no, no, no. I work with people all day, every day that have mold. We can't do that. So mold is a pretty powerful thing. It is super resilient. Its job is to go into your body and or into breaking down tissues. So it's going to break down trees that are fall. It's going to break down animals that have been or died in any environment. Right. So that's its job. But it also protects itself very strongly, which is what those mycotoxins are.

And it is so protective that it releases toxins like penicillin. Right. So that you start thinking about what is an antibiotic. So it releases these mycotoxins that kill bacteria, which we use as drugs, which can be good. But that's another chemical. Now that we've been talking about for years, that's become a hot topic. Too much antibiotics will wipe out your own healthy bacteria and create a dysbiosis rate, a change in your body that leads to your digestive tract being off your digestive tract.

Being off leads to your brain being off. Because we're talking about brain on the summit of your digestive bacteria are not healthy. They're not going to produce things like serotonin and dopamine, which going to lead to depression, anxiety. But mold also also can stress your nervous system significantly. It's the number one thing I see, Mike like putting people into fight or flight. As far as chemicals, and that can create those anxiety brain fog. I look when I see an organic acid test and I see multiple markers and the Krebs cycle or the ketone fatty acid oxidation cycles.

It tells me that your energy system is not working properly, so your ability to make energy is not working. The number one thing that causes that is mold. So mold suppresses mitochondrial function. And I, I just kind of rattle off all this information about mold. But it's incredible what more does to you. And it's around us and it's on our foods. And the food industry does not pay attention to it very well. And the home industry, which we can go into deep into inspections. But your general air tests, they stick in the middle of the room is unacceptable for a test for your home.

And if you want to go deeper into that, I'm always happy to go deeper into that. Yeah, I do want to go into more modest, such a big issue. And mold and mycotoxins. They're neurotoxins and they are glial toxins as well, where they actually damage and destroy the glial cells, which are kind of the immune lymphatic cells of the brain that help to help your body to deal with infections, help your body get rid of toxic proteins and things like that through the lymphatic system, and flush them out of the out of the the brain.

And when you're being exposed to mold and mycotoxins, you can't flush and clean out your brain and you're driving up inflammation in the brain. So, there's a lot of associations between mycotoxins exposure and the accumulation of beta amyloid, which is a plaque we see associated with Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body formation, which is, kind of the protein clumps that we're seeing associated with Parkinson's. So, you know, it's definitely something if you want to not have mild cognitive decline, Alzheimer's, you know, any sort of these neurodegenerative conditions, you really have to make sure you're not being exposed to mold and mycotoxins.

Now, if somebody is being exposed to, say, they have mold in their home, what do they need to do? Yeah. So 50, 70% of structures that we build are estimated to have water damage. This is done by the EPA. So it's common. So we need to know this. So if you're out there this is a big one. And this can also cause so much inflammation in your body I had a client come in just recently. Her blood sugar was 249 on three medications, three blood sugar medications. They could not control it. She couldn't get out of the house.

So we did some of these things that that, you know, we're I'm going to go through now. We put er doctors in her house. So we got air filters that were higher quality. There's a range of those and that's one of them. So we put er doctors her health we ozone to her home. So we fogged it with ozone which helps to grab hold of those molecules and pull them to the ground. Well then you have to clean it out. Right. So then you have to mop it up, or you have to vacuum it with a Hepa vacuum so that it actually can trap it, because radio vacuums can't pick up all the mold particles because they're just too small to flow right through it.

Mold, Mycotoxins, and Brain Health 17:20

With those two things the ozone, the vacuuming history, the air filtering, we were able to reduce the amount in the home, and her body went from 249 to a went to below 150 blood sugar, no diet change just by cleaning up the home, bringing down the stress and the inflammation in her system. And she was so dysfunctional in her brain when we met that I couldn't even have a new client appointment with her. I had to do with her husband while she was in the room, but she just couldn't cognitively be there with us after about six eight weeks.

Now she's the one on the phone with the husband in the background just to to take notes and things to help her. But now her cognitive ability is coming back, so that's incredible. Now, she wasn't in the perfect situation. Had she been in a different situation? Well, we would have wanted to do where she could get out of that home, or at least make some changes to it. What I would have wanted to do is I would have wanted to run an early test. RMI test? This is a beginning piece for me. It's a dust cloth sample test.

It's easy to do for you, and you can wipe it up, and then you can have somebody interpret it to you. It's sent to your home. So it's simple. It's not as good as having a building biologist come into your home who is an expert mold inspector. And these people are not the same as the guy you call for your cell in your house. These are the guys that come in and really do a detailed job. They're going to do air samples inside your walls, not just in the middle of your room. They're going to do, you know, moisture testing.

They're going to do dust sample collection, looking for DNA of mold from inside your home. So it's very different than setting that air sample in the middle of the room and hoping a particle falls in it. Which, by the way, doesn't make sense. Some some mold particles, they float through the air really lightly. They're lighter than air. Others. But black mold is heavy, so when it drops, a spore or mycotoxins fall straight to the ground, it is not going to float through the air, so it's not going to be caught at two foot height in the middle of your room.

The difference between testing against a wall and testing in the middle of your room for mold is so significant that a few of my mold inspector friends have done this, really set up that machine in the middle. And then they went in the wall and it was 100 times different in the amount of mold found. So I just always go through that so that when you call around as a consumer, you're educated and you don't let somebody convince you that all the, the standard error tests in their rooms good enough.

So I would do those testing. And then when you find the mold, if it's positive, this is not a let's pour bleach on it. This is not some sort of we just fog it or vinegar and we're done. If it is in your sheetrock and you can see it, it is through the sheetrock and it is a two foot removal. And this is not something where you being sick already want to go just hacking away at your wall. You want somebody that's a professional to do this because they're going to create a a whole containment area where when they cut that out, that that mold doesn't just go everywhere.

Because if you can imagine, you know, sparkles, if you've got a kid or if you're that sparkle person, you like to put sparkles on stuff. Once it gets into your seats of your car or on your clothes or in your chairs, it stays for a long time. It's really hard to get rid of and you just keep finding it. That's mold. So we want to make sure when we remove this, that it's done properly with that containment center, that containment set up, and it's taken out of your home and it's not allowed to air off into the rest of your house and get on everything else.

So we remove it after it's been removed. We have a small particle cleaning done in your home, which removes all that mold, and from there we give some time and we retest. So that's the perfect scenario to clean up the mold in a home. But if you don't have that option, air filters are a huge piece. And then make sure that you're doing something to keep the mycotoxins that are being pushed off from the mold and do not throw bleach on it. Bleach just makes it mad. It's you know, the mold itself isn't the toxic part, it's the mycotoxins.

So if you leave the mold alone until you have the opportunity to deal with it sure is putting off a little bit of mycotoxins. But when you throw bleach on it, you're attacking it. So now it's just gone and it's just shooting all that mycotoxins out at you. Wow. Yeah, good to know. And a lot of people are doing that. They're just putting bleach on it, trying to just clean up the darkened spot. But, yeah, that actually just aggravates it. What are your thoughts on dry fogging it? So dry fogging in a home is a saying about ozone.

Or you can do a vinegar. There's different companies to, like pure maintenance that does like whole house or they'll do, you know, certain areas where they'll dry fog. So my opinion on that is you got to remove the source first, and then you do want to dry fog afterward because that's going to bring it to the ground. Let's go grab those pollock particles and pull it to the ground. But I'm a fan of removing the source first. That that is my key point because as I've talked to some of the best in the field, they just tell me that simply fogging alone is not removing the source.

You're just removing what's in the air, and you need to remove the source from creating more. Yeah. So this is really good to know. And then a lot of a lot of times people will have the mold actually colonize, particularly in like their nasal sinuses also in their gut. And you know, it's just releasing mycotoxins in their system and especially in the nasal sinuses can get right up in the brain. Absolutely. You know, this is a major problem. You can do Mark, on testing in the nose, where you take a swab into the nose and you swab around and you pull it out and you send it to the lab and they can test for if you have mold colonizing in your sinuses, but also colonize inside your body.

So I oftentimes will find on a GPS test signs of Aspergillus or for cerium, which are two types of mold colonizing inside of your body, right. So they can be inside your digestive tract or other places in your body. And they're producing mycotoxins in you even if you left the environment. So I've got people that, oh, my college dorm room was bad. Five years later, they can't lose weight. Their brain fog, depressed, anxious, just not feeling the way that they expected themselves to feel at 2827 years old, right?

You shouldn't be to where your metabolism is shut down. You can't lose weight to where you're depressed and anxious because honestly, I'm 36, 30s, have been the best years of my life. So like, it's been great and these people are just crashing and we go back and test them and sure enough, mold in their urine. So, okay, we need to run some other testing and see if we can find mold in your home. We run an Army test. We get a good building biologist in their home. Nothing. We look at their oh, tests, organic acid test, and I go, there's mold still.

And you, you brought it from your dorm room with you. And now we have to remove that from your body using I use natural antifungals and I also use binders. So I use binders like carbon oxy from cell core or other types of natural binders out there to bind those mycotoxins. And then I use probiotics that are specific kinds of products. Spore biotics like Mega Spore or CT biotic, or some of the brand names I use there to actually grab hold of the gut and start having healthy microbiome that will break down some of those spores of mycotoxins and molds in your body.

Yeah, it's so critical. And then you can also do like nasal sinus rinses right. Yeah. So you there's a lot of different things out there. There's medication versions of VAP is a common medication. You hear of that. You do a nasal rinse with I prefer to do things like it's clear Argentinian 23 which is a silver. I've even used personally a carboxy which is that binder. And I put that up my nose. And I've had some clients that have done that and seen some significant changes in their, their sinus pressure.

So sinus headaches, facial, tenderness because they're getting that infection out of their nose. Now that you do that with a neti pot or what was what kind of how did you get it up in your nose. So you can do the nasal rinse with like the little bowl where you squeeze it and it shoots it up into your nose. Yeah, I prefer the neti pot. And then darn, I just lost the name of it. But there's a device you can purchase from, your local pharmacy. A lot of times that actually has pressure where it will push water up your nose and then suck it out the other side.

Right. Navajo, I believe, is what's called. Yeah. And that will help to just pull. And unfortunately, if you're using binder in a Navajo, it's going to wear it out a little faster. But you know what? My sinuses are important enough to clean out and go through Navajo to over time. And as you clean out your sinuses, it's going to decrease the strain on your nervous system. So you're going to start feeling a little less fight or flight, which means like that, that tight shoulder, that anxiety feeling because your body feels like it's under attack from this infection in your face and your sinuses that the immune system just can't get to.

Yeah. And that and that also brings up a good point that chronic sinus congestion, allergies, you know, headaches, things like that can be symptoms that you may have colonized up in those areas. Absolutely. And if you're having food allergies or chronic fight or flight, so chronically feeling overwhelmed and anxious, then this can be a sign that you have more toxicity or are living in mold. Because when your body is so stressed out, because it feels like it's living in a war zone, because you're living in mold, or you have sinus infection that is producing more mold or mycotoxins, your body, when I say it gets into this shoot first, ask questions later kind of mentality.

So it starts to identify foods that are not bad for you, that you've got your whole life as being allergens. So it identifies them as being something bad because it is no longer paying attention, no longer to, oh, that's, that's that's just broccoli. Oh, oh that's just sweet potato. It's gone. I don't know what's going on. I'm just going to attack everything. So if your body feels that stressed out, figure out what is stressing it. And again we're on the brain. Something here. Right. If you feel like you're declining chronic stress.

So living in chronic state of stress, like people that have been studied, that have lived in countries that are going through war or civil war or they're under duress, or people with abusive situations that they're living in for years show brain functionality declining rapidly. So living in mold same thing. Yeah. So important. And so let's let's transition into heavy metals because that's a really big issue as well. Heavy metals. The first thing that comes to mind when I think about heavy metals is what are you drinking.

Are you drinking tap water. So I hate to burst everybody's bubble out there. Flint Michigan is not the only place that has bad water. 163 million Americans are drinking

Heavy Metals in Water, Fish, and Dental Fillings 28:30

water supplies that have radioactive elements in them. So this is uranium. This is radon, radium, cesium, thallium, strontium. This can be in your water supply. And the article I read that on the first time was EWG, which was done through research. The second place it was put on a Yahoo! I was like, what in the world this is this is making big national news media. And that was for radioactive elements. It is extremely common to see arsenic and lead fluoride inside water supplies. It's actually floor is added to your water supply.

But arsenic is something that we're just not cleaning out nearly well enough. And EWG, which has its own standard of what is acceptable, I've seen 1200 times that standard on their website for a water supply, say, in Oklahoma. So it's incredible the amount of metals that are coming through our tap water. And that's just one place. And why does this matter? Why does heavy metal matter, heavy metals get into your body and they do a number of things. And one thing is they they can displace your normal minerals.

So minerals like magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium that you require to be able to do normal function without magnesium, you don't make ATP, which is your energy source. You have no go power, no gasoline for your body. That's what ATP is. It's your it's what your body burns as a fuel source. So it can also you can find things like mercury. You can find mercury in somebody's body which can come from a number of places. The number one place is dental. So if you have any sort of metal in your mouth and if you don't know, go to the mirror as soon as you get done.

Listen to this. Open up your mouth, shine that fancy phone of yours flashlight into your mouth and look. Is there a dark spot and on any of your teeth, right? So it can be that it's silver Cat, or some people got a little creative over the years and they will actually put a ceramic or white cap over top of mercury fillings. So if you have that in your mouth, you need to consult the biological Dennis, because what's going on here is they put mercury in your mouth, which by the way, when you get mercury from, a provider of this.

So they send it to a dentist, it comes and a container that has skull and crossbones on it. And if that were to be shattered, that container on the middle of the street, they don't just wash that off with the garden hose. They send the hazmat team out. So then they take this stuff and they put it in your mouth and they harden it. And as long as it's in your mouth, they say, oh, it's good, it's okay, it's safe. Except for we know that's not true because it will off gas mercury slowly. So it'll break down slowly in your mouth for over 25 years.

As long as it's in there, it's going to continue to off gas. And then when they go to remove it and they tell you that, you know, once it's in you, it's safe, right? And they remove it. They go to the same process as far as safety. Right. So they can't just throw this in the trash can. They have to put it in a biohazard container. That has to be then shipped to a biohazard containment site. And then they have to know where that is forever, because it is not something that we just allowed back into our environment.

Mercury is extremely dangerous and this is in your body. So I'll run a hair test on somebody. See mercury levels elevated. Go. Do you have any mercury in your mouth? And. Oh yeah. But some people say no. Some people like no don't have any, never have. Okay. Where else can this come from? Mercury can come from if your parents have mercury amalgams that can be circulating through their body, get into a child. This can cause issues with neurological development. Because mercury is neurotoxic, it is extremely neurotoxic.

It's so neurotoxic that they actually came up with mad Hatter syndrome as a diagnosis. For dentists that were putting mercury amalgams in people's mouths because they were inhaling it, doing their job 200 years ago. And when they very first started doing this process, they knew it was bad back then. But. They kept doing it. And then the other place you can get Mercury is if you are getting a lot of farm raised fish, it can be a wild caught fish, but it's higher concentrations in farm raised fish.

So if you're a person that loves eating a lot of fish, you've got to make sure that your body can handle the amount of mercury that's coming in from fish. I tend to recommend for most of my clients, who are usually a little suppressed in their detoxification no more than 1 or 2 servings of fish in a week. I've got some clients. I just had one call me from Korea. She's like, we eat tons of fish and I was like, what does that mean? Well, she's like 4 or 5 times a week at least, but it could be 7 to 10 times a week because it's fresh and it's at our markets and it's one of the lower costing foods.

But her mercury level was supposed to be below, let's just call it 0.4. I can't remember what that test range was. And she was about three times the range. So she would have been like 1.2 is actually off the top of my her chest chart. And she had major energy function issues, major brain function issues. Anxiety was going really high. A lot of paranoia, which is very common when you're dealing with chronic heavy metal toxicity in the body. Yeah, those are definitely big issues. So if you're getting fish go wild caught lower on the food chain as well, not the big fish.

So if you're looking at tuna, the albacore is going to have more, mercury than the kind of chunk light the smaller tuna. And, yeah, trying to get wild caught is is very important there. And, and so that's really key. Also, vaccines are another source of mercury, particularly like the flu vaccine. That's one that they've kept it in. And so there's some vaccines that people are getting that definitely still have mercury, even though, you know, a lot of people will say all vaccines, they've taken the mercury out, which you know, it's not actually true.

Yeah. And when they replaced it with, as you said I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. They replace it with aluminum, which is a known neurotoxin. And it is directly linked with Alzheimer's. So they see increased levels of the aluminum in Alzheimer's brain. So just because, you know, people got together, threw up their arms, said, hey, we're not going to take these vaccines because they're mercury. Oh, well, we'll switch it out. And then we're just going to put something almost equally as bad back in. Yeah. Just to confuse you for another 20 years.

No, no, we can't have that stuff in our bodies. And our bodies are not designed to have heavy metal toxicity in it, and it's not something we pick up naturally from our environment. So our bodies don't naturally detox this metal. Well, so it's, you know, just like a lot of chemicals we talked about today, we do not naturally detoxes because that's the question I get a lot is are we able aren't we able to just deal with this. Isn't this been going on for a long time? We're just not seeing a problem.

No, we haven't been dealing with phthalates, bpas, mercury in our mouth. Mercury? From a few fish. Sure. If you're talking about ancient times when we went out and we caught fish, but we weren't being bombarded by so many other toxins all the time that are overwhelming our systems and not allowing us to keep up. I mean, if you look around the lotion, you use the shampoo, you have that parabens in it. If you look at the detergents, the laundries, the soaps, the I mean, I can just go down this list of what you're using.

If you can smell a chemical. Right. And this is not an essential oil. The essential oils are natural scents. But if you can smell bleach, if you can smell a, you know, a little pod that you put in the laundry, that's because they're using artificial scents created by chemicals that are extremely toxic to to do that. So if your shirt comes out and it smells great, right, and you're not using some sort of essential oils because they embedded chemicals into your clothes, that now when you put on your skin are just rubbing on your skin all day and you're absorbing that into your body, and many of these chemicals are xeno estrogens, and xeno estrogens are causing breast cancer hormone dysregulation, decreasing testosterone in men.

Men's testosterone, on average as a population goes down 1% every year. And no, this is not a good thing. Some people like, oh, you know, men are aggressive. This is not a good thing. When men's testosterone goes below 500, men start increasing their risk for every known disease that males deal with cancer, diabetes, every single symptom, depression becoming obese, they all go up. Men's testosterone supposed to be above 500. Today, a 30 year old male has a testosterone level of a 60 year old male in 1970.

Wow. So we are collapsing quickly. Fertility has gone down that the sperm counts and fertility for people have gone down almost 59%. It's incredible how fast this xeno estrogen packed, toxic world is affecting the ability to produce proper hormones. PCOS in women is going up where they're having polycystic ovarian cysts. This is this is just a major issue. And it's from the chemicals in the toxins that you're seeing every single day that people are almost smells good, but it cleans the smell of bleach makes me think clean.

The smell of bleach makes me think, leave the building. It's toxic in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. And for some individuals, they don't really notice the symptoms until really for all of us, till our bucket starts overflowing. So it's like we have this toxic bucket. All of us are kind of filling that up. We should normally have drainage pathways that are almost like little holes in the bucket that are kind of getting rid of these toxins on a regular basis. But if we're if, you know, we're not living a healthy lifestyle, if we've got, you know, other underlying issues and we're constantly putting more and more of these toxins in, those holes can get clogged up.

We don't drain out well. And now the bucket starts filling up. And then we notice symptoms. When the bucket overflows, that's when all of a sudden your hair starts falling out. All of a sudden you're fatigued. It's so hard to get out of bed. You have fatigue all day long. All of a sudden you have brain fog. You can't remember where things are. You have depression. You have anxiety, panic attacks. Right? It's it's really an accumulative process. And when the bucket starts overflowing, when we're so bombarded by toxins,

Reducing Exposure and Supporting Detox Pathways 39:20

that's when all of a sudden we get the autoimmune disease or whatever it is. And so what can we be doing to make sure that our drainage pathways are open, and also that we're not putting all these toxins in our body? Yeah, I love this question because the first thing is you've got to stop the influx. So go to we've mentioned it a couple times, download the app, scan everything that you have in your home. And if you can't change everything today, just when you run out of your next soap, detergent, toothpaste, when you go to the store, scan with the WGS app and just look at it and go, okay, it's going to give me a rating.

It's going to give me, a 0 to 10 rating. I want to be in the green, which is like A23 on there. And that's that app is telling you this is nontoxic. So stop the new stuff coming in. And that's going to put you in a safe environment where your body isn't being stressed all the time. When your body's not being stressed all the time, it can start to deal with what's inside of it. So then we get into the fact that we've got to start increasing the energy in our body, right? So the mitochondria, which help to create energy when your liver has 5000 mitochondria or cell, your brain has 10,000 mitochondria or cell.

And the mitochondria is one of the first things that gets damaged by these chemicals. So we've got to make sure that we are supporting them. So you you want to make sure that your diet is using a little bit of fasting. Because fasting helps to take the stress off of your system, allows it to focus on cleaning and repairing. So I like to have people do something that's free, which is let's just start working on intermittent fasting. I know you're an expert in fasting. I've got books on it. So get get that book.

Listen, you know, read it and start adding fasting into your system. From there, look at your diet. Is your diet full of sugar and carbohydrates, or is your diet full of whole foods with high nutrient density with low glycemic or sugar impact? Right. So I like to get things that are, are, you know, going to be your blueberries, raspberries, strawberries because they don't hit with as much sugar in your body. They still taste good. They're still sweet. I pair that with my eggs, my grass fed beef, my chicken.

That way it's quality meats that are free range. And that way my food isn't creating a insulin stress or a blood sugar stress in my body, which allows for my body to focus on instead of trying to bring blood sugar down all the time. Detoxification because your liver does allow that process. So I'm trying to give things that are daily lifestyle things for you to do to implement your life. Now let's get over to the what I like to call the fun stuff, where we start implementing supplements and activities.

Right? So I love castor oil packs, which this all these sorts of things are in my website and on my Instagram if you want to learn more about them. But Castor oil pack is using castor oil, putting a nontoxic cloth with it, putting it on top of your liver which is on the right side, right at the bottom of the rib cage. And we just leave that on there anywhere from 20 minutes to up to to overnight. And this helps to stimulate detoxification. And it's not taking anything right. So it's just a therapy you could do at home.

Dry brushing which is brushing your tissues toward your heart which helps to drain the lymphatic ducts which have no muscularity themselves. So you have to either move or actually do something to drain them, such as dry brushing. Coffee enemas are amazing, little more invasive. Not everybody's up for it, but it is the number one to look at increased glutathione by 700%. So if you're up for a coffee and it is amazing to drain out the liver and a gut supplementation, there's a lot of great ones. Milk thistle and acetylcysteine are two of my favorite liver supports.

I like a product called HCL support from Cell Corp. You can do things like tadka, which is an enzyme that helps to increase bile salt production, and that allows for the liver to make more bile. Bile helps to bind toxins and pull them out, emulsify fats and break down fats, which helps with digestion and mobilizing toxins out of the body. And then we need to get some binders in their binders. Because we're living in an environment with non-natural toxins the phthalates, the bpas, the atrazine, the glyphosate, these are non-natural.

Our body doesn't have the system to pull it out. So you add things and that is a great binder. You know, I like bioactive carbons like HMT. But you can also get apple pectin charcoals, zeolites. And these things bind hold of toxins that are floating in your body that your body doesn't have a normal natural protein to bind with and binds those. And then your body can grab hold of it and shuttle it out through your digestive process, through out through the excretion process in the bathroom and get it out of your body.

So whether it's making your homes clean, fasting to give your body an opportunity to focus on detox and healing. Eating appropriate foods to give your body an anti inflammatory body so that you're not clogged up so you can detox. Stimulating with milk thistle, NAC or tadka to support the liver and gallbladder and then binding it so that you have that tool to to bind and pull out. It's a process that you can you can also do any one of these steps and get some success. Yeah. And then that's so important and that's so well laid out there.

So we want to reduce our exposure. And then we want to start to open up our detoxification pathways. Obviously taking good care of our diet, taking good care of our microbiome. And then using some of the compounds like you talked about liver support products like milk thistle and acetylcysteine, dandelion, ginger. These are great herbs and it really helps support liver tadka. You mentioned for helping support bile flow. You know you can definitely do that. You know and then binders right. Getting good bioactive carbons, things like that to help grab, hold and pull the toxins out of the body.

So really great summary there. And we could talk all day about about this topic. It's so important. But doctor Job and where can people find out more about you. And and learn more about these strategies that you use. Yeah. So I try to keep it simple. My website, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook are doctor Javon Moore. My name is Jacob, and I think I'm the only one doctor J. Moore out there. So if you guys can find me there, I'm putting out free content every single day. Just trying to educate because, hey, I was chronically ill.

I've been there. I just want people to be able to live their best life. Awesome. Well, thanks for all the great work that you're doing, and thanks for taking the time to do this interview, and hopefully you guys enjoyed that.
