Toxins Can Cause Autoimmune Diseases

Why does a seemingly healthy person suddenly get an autoimmune disease? If you are one of those people, I bet you’ve asked yourself that question. Autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis are on the rise like never before. WHY? Thankfully we have some really solid answers. In this video I talk about the first big WHY. Toxins can cause autoimmune diseases. If you have an autoimmune disease and are not happy with the standard medical approach keep reading!

Our world is very toxic. A study was done with 10 babies to see what kinds of toxins could be detected. Shockingly researchers discovered that even babies have many dangerous toxins. On average a woman puts 500 chemicals on their skin each day.

Toxins like Bisphenol A (BPA), Trichloroethylene (TCE), Mercury, Asbestos and even prescription medication like statins can trigger autoimmune diseases. If these weren’t enough, our food is covered with pesticides and herbicides that can trigger autoimmune diseases.

I always test my patients with autoimmune diseases for toxins and their ability to get rid of toxins. I frequently find that these patients have high levels of more than one dangerous toxin. Often, because of the patient’s genetics, they are unable to detoxify toxins efficiently. As a result these toxins build up.

Thankfully there are very safe and effective ways to get rid of these toxins. Treatment is different depending on which toxins are present. The first big step in detoxing is to stop the exposure to these toxins.

Some really basic first steps I recommend are:

  • Eat organic
  • Get rid of toxic cleaning chemicals
  • Get rid of all cosmetics with toxic chemicals
  • Drink at least 3 quarts of clean filtered water a day (not from plastic bottles)
  • Eat lots of organic vegetables

For more information on these toxins see my articles mercury, mold and phthalates.

As always I enjoy your comments and questions.

I have been using the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the last few weeks and It has helped me so much. I struggle quite a bit with work related stress. When I'm in the chamber I feel completely relaxed, so much so that I can bring my laptop inside and work without stressing. The calmness I feel in the chamber lasts for the remainder of the day as well. I have found too, the more consistent I am with sessions throughout the week the better I feel. The office staff seems well trained in running the tanks too, so I feel safe. I see Dr. Kilcup as well for my brain and gut health. Until now, I don't think I've ever known what "normal" or "healthy" feels like. Thank you all, sincerely!

Darrell is highly knowledgeable and really gets to the root of the problem. Unlike a lot of doctors, Darrell doesn't just throw prescriptions at issues. He will test and test - digging for the cause and then working on fixing the issue. He and his staff are professional, courteous, and a joy to be around.

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Kilcup and be his patient for the last couple of years. He has helped me restore my health back after being exposed to toxic mold for years. He helped identify and treat all of my symptoms I was experiencing and address the root problem. I was looking for the right person who could help me heal with natural therapies and supplements and Dr. Kilcup was the perfect fit. Every appointment and session was necessary and one step towards all the progress I made. Dr. Kilcup is a great functional medicine doctor who was also an advocate for my own health and well-being. I never received any care or attention to detail from other Doctors in past experiences except with Dr. Kilcup. Anyone who is seeking a holistic path towards healing or improving their own health should see him.
