A short video commentary by Robert Whitfield MD raising concerns about increased exposure to parasites and environmental toxins during travel (particularly in South America, Mexico, Central America). He notes that an individual’s ability to detox depends on genetics and their overall toxin burden (heavy metals, environmental toxins, mycotoxins).
What I found lately that I'm concerned about due to just travel outside of the country and the different water supplies we get faced with in South America and even in North America, in Mexico, Central America is just the amount of parasites that patients are getting exposed to and then having difficulty detoxing or getting rid of afterwards. So think of one how you detox, That's a function of your genetics. So I always say, you can't pick your parents and you can't outrun a bad diet. So how you detox, and then what is your tox burden? So the tox burden, like I said, how many heavy metals, how many environmental toxins, how many mycotoxins?
