WOMEN’S HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS Every year as the rate of diseases and resulting symptoms for women increase, scientists, re-searchers and health professionals are making significant connections between the role of envi-ronmental toxins and their effects on women’s health. Environmental toxins exist everywhere – in the air we breathe, the water we drink and in the food we consume. It’s staggering to realize that since the 1940’s, over 100,000 toxic chemicals have been released into the environment.

Every year as the rate of diseases and
resulting symptoms for women increase,
scientists, researchers and health profes-
sionals are making significant connections
between the role of environmental toxins
and their effects on women’s health. Envi-
ronmental toxins exist everywhere – in the
air we breathe, the water we drink and in
the food we consume. It’s staggering to re-
alize that since the 1940’s, over 100,000
toxic chemicals have been released into
the environment.
A 2009 study by the Environmental Work-
ing Group found 48 toxic chemicals in the
urine samples of five prominent women
environmental activists who live across
the U.S. These chemicals are commonly
used in everyday consumer products and
have been linked to birth defects, hormo-
nal dysregulation and increased cancer
rates. Health trends in the U.S. suggest
that the chemical load plays a part in the
growing rates of autism spectrum disor-
der, diabetes and certain cancers. While
the rising number of chronic diseases
has many causes, increased exposure to
chemicals is one factor.
Toxins and Cancer
The U.S. Department of Health and Hu-
man Services Office on Women’s Health
reports that toxins and chemicals in the
environment can cause serious health
problems in women, such as cancer, lung
disease, or reproductive system problems.
They can also make health conditions
worse. Scientists are studying the ways
toxins in the environment may play a
role in female-related conditions such
as breast cancer, endometriosis, and
menopause. Women who are pregnant or
nursing are especially vulnerable to expo-
sure to some toxic substances — including
lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, pesti-
cides, solvents, and household chemicals.
Exposure to these toxins can increase the
risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, and
other pregnancy complications. These and
other environmental toxins also pose a
risk to the healthy development of fetuses
and infants.
Toxins and Heart Disease
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention report that pollution is linked
to heart disease, which is the leading
cause of death among women. According
to the National Institute of Environmen-
tal Health Sciences, data from a recent
study on urban air pollution suggest that
women have a greater risk of developing
fatal coronary heart disease as a result of
long-term exposure to airborne particles
than their male counterparts. Cancer, the
second leading cause of death, is now
being tracked by the National Environ-
mental Public Health Tracking Network, to
better understand the specific connection
between over 100 types of cancer and
everyday contaminants in our environ-
ment.
Toxins Contribute to Gynecological
Diseases
When it comes to women’s gynecological
health, the amount of research linking
womens health problems to environmen-
tal estogens is substantial.

“Our studies are beginning to corroborate
the idea that environmental estrogen may
be associated with endometriosis,” said
Germaine Buck-Louis, director of the Eu-
nice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development’s
epidemiology division in Maryland.
In a major new study, two groups of
women in the Salt Lake City and San Fran-
cisco areas were more likely to be diag-
nosed with endometriosis if they had high
blood levels of the estrogen-like pesticide
hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) than women
with low levels. HCH has been banned as
a crop pesticide in the United States but
its abilitiy to build up and remain in the
environment has enabled it to persist in
some food supplies.
Buck-Louis called the research “revolu-
tionary,” saying that finding the link in
both groups of women “is a pretty strong
signal” that the connection between en-
dometriosis and the pesticide is certain.
Recent research is also discovering links
to additional gynecological problems.
Women in Greece diagnosed with poly-
cystic ovary syndrome were more likely
to have higher blood
levels of the estrogen-
mimicking chemical bi-
sphenol A than women
without the disease,
according to a study
published in 2010.
“It’s certainly plausi-
ble that any outside
source that alters
estrogen levels, even
slightly, could contrib-
ute to gynecological
diseases,” said Dr.
Megan Schwarzman,
a family physician
at San Francisco General Hospital and
an environmental health scientist at the
University of California, Berkeley.
With exposure to a host of hormone-dis-
rupting chemicals beginning in the womb,
some scientists suspect the timing may
be key in determining risk of reproductive
disease risk later on in life.
“Gynecological problems during the
reproductive years may be a predictor of
diseases, such as cancer, later in life,”
said Barbara Cohn, a reproductive health
scientist and director of Child Health and
Development Studies at the Public Health
Institute in Berkeley, Calif.
“We know from animal models that there
are critical periods during early develop-
ment when cells are rapidly dividing and
forming the circuitry through which cells
will communicate with each other to form
various tissues of the body,” said Retha
Newbold, a reproductive biologist at the
National Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences in North Carolina. “When chemi-
cals alter this set-up, the changes may not
be reversible.”
Obesity and Chronic Fatigue
In addition, obesity rates have skyrock-
eted in the past 20 years, with 50% of
women in the U.S. aged 20-74 considered
overweight or obese. More and more
American women are feeling the effects
of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So many
of these issues are due to heavy metal
toxicity and correlated neurological, im-
mune and endocrine dysfunction. Toxic
chemicals disrupt the metabolic pathways
of neurological, immune and endocrine
systems, including:
• Interference with the GTP energy
molecule in neurons preventing the
proper structure and function of neurons
and resulting in neurofibrillary tangles,
pathognomonic for Alzheimer’s disease
and decreased neurotransmitter produc-
tion. Symptoms would include Anxiety,
Depression, Bipolar Affective Disorder,
Sleep and Mood disturbance, Addiction,
MS, Dementia and Parkinson’s.
• Interference with thyroid hormone
metabolism: Mercury, Lead, Cadmium
and Arsenic block the conversion of Free
T4 to the active Free T3. Free T3 supports
a balanced mood, energy, metabolism,
regulation of glucose and cholesterol
levels, temperature regulation, central
obesity and gut motility.
• Interference with production of ATP
in cells: Mercury specifically competes
with Magnesium to block the release of
chemical energy from the ATP bonds.
This causes fatigue, weight gain and low
metabolic activity.
• Toxins negatively affect cell-mediated
immunity and antibody production,
resulting in increased infection and tumor
development.

• Toxins affect the metabolic pathway
of equilibrium of Omega 3 fatty acids
and Omega 6 fatty acids. This causes an
increase of histamine and leukotrienes,
which leads to inflammation, allergy and
auto-immune reactions.
• Women with high toxicity have an
increased rate of miscarriage. The toxins
pass from the mother to the placenta,
then to the fetus. The average newborn
in the U.S. has over 206 toxic chemicals.
Toxins can also pass from mother to child
through breast milk.
Healthy Detoxification of Toxins
The good news is, diseases and symp-
toms that stem from environmental toxins
are fairly easy to identify and correct. If
the problem is cellular toxicity, then the
solution is intracellular detoxification.

remove and eliminate harmful toxins and
pathogens is with the clinically proven
