I watched my dog's cough worsen over several months. The vet couldn't find a reason as to what could be causing such a condition. Scooter's favorite place was in his bed at my feet while I worked at the computer. I had purchased the pet bed only a few months before, and, one day, as he went to bed, the cause finally became obvious. His coughing would spike when he was sitting in his bed. He was being exposed to higher levels of toxic chemicals coming from the materials in the bed.
Like a canary in the coal mine, my best friend was telling me there was danger in my home.
Was I exposing my family and friends to chemicals known to be irritating and harmful? The question plagued me so much that I began researching some of the toxins known to cause health problems. I was shocked to learn how many of these toxins surround us.
When you hear the words “toxic chemicals”, chances are good they conjure specific images. Perhaps you remember the town of Hinkley, California, poisoned by PG&E’s chemical leeching pools1. Or maybe you think about oil spills, like the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico2. Those certainly qualify, but the truth is that toxic chemicals are all around us, every day.
They’re in the foods we eat, the water we drink, and even in the surfaces that we touch. These toxic chemicals, are known by many names. Heavy metals like lead and mercury are familiar names, and the not quite so every day names of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are a persistent, ever-present threat to your health, as well as that of your children.
You can test for levels of many of these toxins in your body through several of our available test profiles for Heavy Metals and Essential Elements.
