DESCRIPTION: Toxic load of metals and persistent organic pollutants is substantial and clinically relevant. This presentation provides an overview of toxic load, how toxins impair neurological and endocrine function and evidence-based interventions to reduce load and restore function.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Understand the sources of toxins
2. Understand the typical level of toxic load
3. Be able to utilize diagnostic procedures to assess toxic load
4. Be able to decrease toxic load and use nutritional and botanical medicines to facilitate respiration of function
