Symptoms of Toxicity

By Tanya Stocken

These are wide ranging, affecting all systems.

General symptoms include tiredness, fluid retention, PMT, regular infections, allergies, fluctuating weight, low sex

drive, and difficulties conceiving. Digestive symptoms include indigestion, heartburn, cravings, loss of appetite,

nausea, bloating, flatulence, diarrhoea, constipation, and coated tongue. Symptoms may manifest in the skin as

flushing, acne, boils, sweating, dry itchy skin, cellulite, and puffy eyes with dark circles. Excess waste substances

can result in frequent urination, excess mucus, and sinus congestion. There may also be muscular: cramps/aches, joint

inflammation, respiratory infections, palpitations, rapid pulse poor circulation, raised blood fats and nervous

problems such as pins and needles, dizziness, faintness, insomnia, and headaches. As you can see the list is really

neverending.

Cellular Toxicity

Toxicity occurs at multiple levels, levels which ordinarily would operate as channels for ridding the body of

unwanted substances . The most fundamental level is the cellular level. Cells are the powerhouses of the body’s many

complex functions and need to have an appropriate flow of nutrients in and waste out. An example of toxins directly

affecting cellular function occurs when heavy metals such as mercury are utilised in enzymes in place of zinc,

because of the minerals’ structural similarity. Cells also need to exist in correct pH conditions to ensure optimum

function.
