(HealthNewsDigest.com) – The number of chemicals introduced since World War II is astonishing. Studies on the health effects of some 85,000 of these chemicals are underway, but will take decades to complete. Nearly 3,000 of those chemicals are produced in excess of 1 million pounds annually, yet little data is publicly available about the toxicity of 75% of these high production volume chemicals (Breast Cancer Fund and Breast Cancer Action 2003).
The relationship between a polluted environment and disease was taboo for a long time, because “polluters” would have to confront their collective responsibilities. Benzene, a known carcinogen, is an example of the exponential development in the petrochemical industry. In the US alone, benzene production increased from 125 million gallons in 1940 to 410 million in 1955, to 1.5 billion in 1976. It took 20 years and numerous studies before benzene usage was finally regulated in 1977 (The politics of Cancer Revisited Samuel Epstein, M.D.).
Indeed, the pollution that we continuously dump into the environment is getting back at us and affecting our health. While this is a commonly accepted notion today, it was actually developed in the 1960s, before knowledge about the harmful effects of pollution were widely known, thanks to the work of scientists like my father, Dr. Mirko Beljanski (1923-1998), who was able to offer a scientific explanation at the cellular level of how these environmental toxins affect our DNA at the core of our cells.
Mirko Beljanski, PhD, was a French molecular biologist who worked for over 40 years studying DNA replication and transcription at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France. During his career, Dr. Beljanski discovered that the normal structure of DNA is altered when exposed to pollutants in the environment. He showed that, when the DNA of a cell becomes destabilized, it may lead to chronic disease and other major ailments, including cancer. DNA destabilization is a cumulative process that is influenced by the level and frequency of our contact with harmful molecules that damage DNA structure. Through this discovery, Mirko Beljanski offered the world an explanation at the cellular level for environmental medicine.
In the course of his experiments Beljanski created a test to evaluate the potential of molecules for further destabilizing our DNA. Then Beljanski used this test to discover natural molecules that could help prevent this damage to the DNA structure and restore cellular heath.
The Beljanski® Products include extracts of the South American plant Pao pereira, the African shrub Rauwolfia vomitoria and a unique extract of golden leaf Ginkgo biloba, (which has completely different properties from common standard green leaf extracts).
Optimal health can only result from a three-pronged approach. The first step in protecting yourself is to look for ways to fortify the body against the aggressive molecules in our environment that cause DNA destabilization. This is where detoxification becomes essential to a healthy lifestyle.
Avoid molecules that are known to be harmful by making sure to buy organic food and natural products free of dangerous preservatives. You should also steer clear of foods that are proven to be harmful to your health, such as refined sugar, caffeine and trans fats. A proper diet is essential to maintaining healthy body function and energy levels.
Skincare plays an important role in a regimen of health maintenance and reduced exposure to toxins as skin is our largest organ of absorption. Essential oils are known to be highly beneficial without being associated with chemicals and should be considered as a first choice for toiletries. Some specific essential oils are known to have purifying and detoxifying properties. French Secret is line of skincare that is free of parabens and toxic chemicals.
However, this only goes so far and it is inevitable that toxins will enter your body. The second step is to therefore remove the harmful molecules through natural detoxification methods such as chelation, which helps remove heavy metal buildup, or by taking supplements to help support the liver’s function. Daily oral chelation is a gentle and easy alternative to remove heavy metals on a regular basis. Signature Chelate by Sylvie Beljanski is one of the options available. These are important steps because toxin buildup can have significant effects on your physical wellbeing, such as headaches, weakness and fatigue. Finally, if the body’s own capacity for cellular repair and removal is overwhelmed, DNA support may be an option.
Despite a growing “Green” movement, we are polluting our environment more and more every day and it’s not only making the earth sick, it’s making us sick too. It is time to take a proactive stance to protect ourselves from the effects of these harmful molecules.
