Why should I use FRTBecause this is a system for helping multi‑symptom patients and patients who have "tried everything" but who are still ill. By evaluating a comprehensive blood chemistry panel using Sam Queen's health model approach, you will be basing your recommendations on hard science. With follow up chemistries you will see how your treatment is positively influencing blood chemistry parameters and thus truly getting well. Toxins Everywhere ‑ why "Detoxify" Everyone is contaminated today, even newbom babies Scientists have developed a much fuller understanding of children’s vulnerability to chemicals and toxic metals, discovering links between a host of health problems ‑ including asthma, childhood cancer, and brain damage ‑and such common contaminants as solvents, pesticides, PCBs, and lead (Trasande and Landrigan, 2004). A recent National Academy of Sciences study suggests that environmental factors contribute to at least 28 percent of childhood developmental disabilities (NAS 2000a) . Over the past 50 years, as infectious childhood diseases like polio, smallpox, rheumatic fever, and diphtheria have largely been controlled; chronic conditions of less obvious origins have take their place. Asthma, autism, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders (ADD and ADHD), childhood brain cancer and acute lymphocytic leukaemia have all increased. There is an elevation in infertility, miscarriages, and babies born with birth defects (CDC 2004, Jahnke et al. 2005, Trasande and Landrigan 2004), which are then followed by a host of health problems. In agreement, a recent National Academy of Sciences study suggests that environmental factors contribute to at least 28 percent of childhood developmental disabilities (NAS 2000a). Clearly, foetal exposures lead to adult disease. Some chemicals are directly toxic to an exposed child ‑ lead and mercury, for example, which harm a developing brain ‑ while other chemicals induce a chain of events that may culminate in a diagnosed health problem later in life. Hormone mimicking chemicals like dioxins and furans, for example, could induce delayed cancers in hormone‑sensitive tissues like the breast, testicle, or prostate gland. Chemicals like PCBs or DDT can reduce growth rates in the womb, initiating in low birth weight babies and lasting, internal survival mechanisms that cascade into cardiovascular disease or diabetes later in life. A child can bear a lifelong imprint of risks from the countless molecules of industrial pollutants that find their way through the placenta, down the umbilical cord, and into the baby's body. The consequences ‑ health disorders, subtle or serious ‑ can surface not only in childhood but also in adulthood. Studies now support origins in early life exposures for a startling array of adult diseases, including Alzheimer's, mental disorders, heart disease, and diabetes. There are increased deposits of the Alzheimer‑related protein amyloid in the brains of older animals exposed to lead as newborns, but not in animals that were exposed to an equal amount of lead as adults (Basha et al. 2005). Over the past two decades numerous studies have linked low birth weight with adult onset of coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke, hypertension, depression and other conditions (Barker 1995, Wahlbeck et al. 2001, Thompson et al. 2001, Hales et al. 1991). Low birth weight can arise not only from poor maternal nutrition but also from a host of industrial pollutants, including arsenic, mercury, lead, organic solvents, PCBs, and pesticides, including DDT. Preterm births and low birth weights: Preterm births have increased 23 percent over the past 2 decades; low‑weight births have become more common (Ananth et al 2001, Branum and Schoendorf 2002). The causes are largely unknown, but environmental factors such as chemical pollutants and nutrition are thought to play a role. Low birth weight has been linked to adult obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, schizophrenia, and other conditions (Barker 1995, Walhbeck et al, 2001, Thompson et al. 2001, Hales and Ozanne 2003). It has also been linked to lower academic performance, neurosensory impairment, and lower rates of pregnancy in the offspring (Hack et al. 2002). Defects of the reproductive system. There are suggested links between developmental exposure to environmental contaminants and cryptorchidism or testicular cancer (Hardell, et al. 2003, Hosie, et al. 2000, Toppari, et al. 1996, Weidner, et al. 1998). Studies show that sperm counts in certain parts of the world are decreasing (Swan, et al. 2000, Toppari, et al. 1996). Scientists have measured significant regional differences in sperm count that cannot be explained by differences in genetic factors (Swan et al. 2003). Girls may he reaching puberty earlier, based on comparing current appearance of breast development and pubic hair growth with historical data (Herman‑Giddens, et al. 1997). Rates of hypospadias, a physical deformity of the penis, have risen in recent years (Paulozzi et al. 1997). The incidence of undescentled testicles (cryptorchidism) and testicular cancer also appear to be rising in certain parts of the world (Bergstrom et al. 1996, McKiernan et al. 1999, Toppari et al. 1996, Paulozzi 1999).
