The Poisoning Podcast

Episode Two - A Mother's Story

Today I’m going to read you the story of Amilya Antonette and her son David. Actually just the first 6 pages of her book, “Why David Hated Tuesdays [https://amzn.to/2RsePg4]”. This is a story that might sound like you or someone you know who is struggling with a mysterious illness trying to find a solution. I read this because I want to capture your heart and mind with how important this topic is for all of us. I know stories get attention and stir emotion. And emotion is the one thing that moves us to action. Before I get started let me tell you what is coming up in future episodes - not in any particular order - just future episode topics: * What are the most dangerous household chemicals and effective replacements - GET THE POISON OUT! * My two favorite non-toxic solutions for home and workplace cleaning - Parts One & Two - Each solution needs its own episode! * Toxicity and how it impacts unwanted weight gain and slows down healthy weight loss * Join me as I interview an Essential Oil educator and mentor as we talk about using essential oils as a solution for supporting the systems of our body for detox. We just touched the tip of the iceberg with this first session! * Detoxing by cleaning out your colon - poop to get clean and healthy! * Another Story - "Megan’s Girl" Before I start reading today's story I have one favor to ask - please share our Facebook Page facebook.com/thepoisoningpodcast [http://facebook.com/thepoisoningpodcast] Please subscribe & review on your favorite platform - Spotify, Stitcher, & Apple Podcasts. Okay! let’s get into this story... In future episodes, we’re going to dive into both the danger lurking in our homes, the health issues caused by the poison, and what to do about it.

Episode One - Chemically Induced Illnesses

In this episode, I discuss why I started this podcast and how I am stepping into becoming a community advocate to speak out against toxic chemicals that permeate our lifestyles. I also introduce the topic and research of “TILT." SOURCES: The information quoted below and discussed in this episode comes directly from www.tiltresearch.org run by the Department of Family and Community Medicine at UT Health San Antonio. Program Faculty: Claudia Miller, M.D., M.S. the author of “Chemical Exposures: Low Levels and High Stakes” (2nd edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1998 – Authors - Nicholas A. Ashford, Claudia S. Miller  What is TILT? "Toxicant‐Induced Loss of Tolerance (TILT) is a two-stage disease process initiated by a one-time major exposure, or a series of low-level chemical exposures (Stage I, Initiation). Affected individuals experience symptoms triggered by everyday chemicals, foods, and drugs that never bothered them before (Stage II, Triggering). Exposure examples include chemical spills, pesticides, cleaning agents, solvents, combustion-related products, drugs, and medical devices, and indoor air contaminants associated with materials used in construction or remodeling.  Origins of TILT  Ninety percent of us spend 90 percent of our day inside tightly closed “boxes”— homes, cars, daycare, schools, office buildings — exposed to synthetic organic substances that did not exist before the 1940s.  After World War II, people began using synthetic organic chemicals in their homes and work. From cleaning fluids and fragrances to construction materials and pesticides, many of these chemicals were “invented” within the past 70 years.  Over this time, our genes have not changed. Consequently, our bodies’ detoxification systems can’t always deal with all of these new substances.  Chemical exposures can harm mental and physical health in many ways. Cancer‐causing substances are one example. Surprisingly, “indoor air” is one of the most common sources of chemical exposures in many people’s lives.  How Do Chemicals Cause TILT?  The most direct connection between the air we breathe and our brains is through our noses, via the nose‐to‐brain pathway. When chemicals or tiny particles such as smoke or traffic exhaust enter our noses, they are taken up by the olfactory nerves — tiny exposed nerve endings inside our noses that allow us to detect odors.  Here, there is no protective blood‐brain barrier. These nerve endings are bathed in the air around us. After entering these nerves, chemicals are carried to the part of the brain that extends forward above the nose, called the olfactory bulb.  The olfactory bulb provides much of the input to the limbic system, or “primitive smell brain.” The limbic system is vital for feeding, taking care of our young, temperature regulation, and many behaviors essential to our survival.  Listen as I discuss at a very basic introductory level the different parts of our brain - your brain...your children's brain - that are affected every day.

Preview Episode - I hope you join me. Our lives depend on it.

Join host, Melody Campbell, at The Poisoning Podcast Facebook Page [https://www.facebook.com/pg/thepoisoningpodcast] for updates and how you can get involved with this mission.  Welcome to The Poisoning Podcast! I’m your host Melody Campbell I invite you to join me for each episode where together we discover the life-threatening damage caused by common household & workplace products and what you can do about it. We all know those people in our lives that have to leave the restaurant if someone near by is wearing perfume. Maybe we are one of those people. Maybe you’re like Amilya Antonetti whose newborn son always ended up sick every Tuesday. Upon further discovery, she concluded that his sickness was a direct result of the cleaning product she was using in her home every Tuesday on cleaning day. Or maybe you know a similar story to Megan Slate whose daughter, Gracie, developed severe autism because her daughter was genetically predisposed to be unable to off-load the toxins from her body. Megan tells her story and how she used to wash Gracie’s toys with disinfectant wipes and while the toys were still wet with the cleaner...hand the toys right back to her. Gracie’s little body became more toxic day after day. In my research for show content, I discovered there are studies that show women in their 30s and 40s are at an all-time low for the production of the detoxification enzyme that protects the central nervous system from environmental/chemical toxins. This is important because it is in this age group that many women find themselves struggling with chronic headaches, foggy brain, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. It is very possible that your body has an increased chemical sensitivity - common household products may be triggering you. At this age you are more vulnerable to all the possible health consequences associated with chemical exposures -- only for those that suffer from chemical sensitivity, these toxic responses are occurring at extremely low (thought to be safe) levels. In each episode, we’ll dig into science-based research on the problems and discover solutions. We’ll talk about all the ways toxic chemicals are impacting every single one of our lives. Cleaning products Cosmetics - ladies we’ve been killing ourselves to be beautiful since the dark ages! Food - Companies we have trusted for decades are using chemicals in our food - yes, even our fresh produce is covered with toxic chemicals. Check out these increasingly common diagnoses which may be initiated or exacerbated by food and chemical exposures (according to TILT Research.org) * asthma * autism * AD/HD * Autoimmune disease * Allergies * Depression * Panic disorder * Addictions If any of this sounds like you or someone you know - you will absolutely want to listen to every episode to stay informed. You’ll be invited to make changes in your home and workplace. You may also be invited to be a voice to send feedback to the companies who keep us in a chemical wash. I hope you join me. Our life depends on it!
