Description

Your environment can be the dictator of you being sick or being well.We are under a constant barrage of chemicals.These chemicals are now being connected to more and more health disorders and diseases. Approximately 50 percent of the population carries the MTHFR gene mutation, making it even harder to eliminate toxins from their bodies. These individuals are more sensitive to toxins and hit "overload" sooner. Your body can only take in a certain amount. Once you go over that limit, your body suffers significantly.Amy Ziff and her children carry this gene mutation, which is one of the reasons she is such an advocate for creating a "no-tox" home.Your environment can be the dictator of you being sick or being well.
