Episode 3: Franken-Foods & Cancer Causers
Ty: [Dr. Jockers], what effect do these toxicities, do you believe,
play in the cancer equation because if you look at hundred years
ago we didn’t have these same amounts, massive amounts, of
environmental toxins. What do you believe on that topic
Dr. David Jockers: I believe they play a huge role with this. I mean we
have over 80 thousand chemicals in our society. The average individual
in our society urinates out seven pesticides every time they urinate. And
then they did a study several years ago where they took ten newborn
infants and they measured their umbilical cord blood for toxins and they
found 280--the mean, the average was 287 toxic chemicals, 208 of
those were carcinogenic for the body. And this is a newborn infant.
Ty: So this is not something that you believe. This is research has
shown that these toxins are getting into the systems and causing
damage.
Dr. David Jockers: Oh yeah. You know, it’s empirical evidence that’s
showing that these toxins are wreaking havoc on our physiology. And
just like you said about it, if we did that study a hundred years ago, sure,
we went through the industrial revolution. There were certainly toxins in
our bodies but I bet if they took newborn infants a hundred years and
they tested them, it’d probably be double digits with the amount of
toxins. A thousand years ago it’d probably be single digits. Two
thousand years ago it may be five or less. And so the reality is that as
amazing as our bodies are, which I believe our bodies are the most
amazing structure that’s ever been built, I mean the most incredible
system, however, and as great as we are at adapting to stresses the
amount of toxicity and environmental stress and challenges we have in
our system right now and upon us is for most people too much.
And if you’re not being intentional about taking care of your health and
using advanced health strategies in 21 st century, the 21 st century
western world, you’re setting yourself up. I mean it’s only a matter of
time before these genetic triggers are going to fire off and you’re going
to have enough disease development before you get diagnosed with
something and have major symptoms in your body. We just have a toxic
on-slot. it’s an epidemic. And fortunately we’ve got very intelligent
people that are out there, that are not only teaching people how to be
well, but also providing the resources they need as far as specific
testing and supplementation and advanced therapies to help people
heal in our modern world.
