About this course

Environmental toxins are in every patient’s house and are often a critical component of their illness. We need to understand our increasingly toxic environment and know how to reduce our patients exposure to the many poisons they face.

The environmental toxins that your patients are exposed to can cause or contribute to practically every acute and chronic condition you see. This Masterclass examines the most prevalent toxins in your patients lives; their home and their food.

Almost every patient has environmental toxicity to some degree and benefits significantly from specific environmental alterations and using proven clinical treatment strategies. Knowing how to do an environmental assessment of a patient and knowing what will have a significant impact on their health is a prerequisite for good patient care.

This program will change the way you think about your patient’s health and give you clear direction on strategies to identify causation and address toxic load.

It is critical to be able to identify when a toxin in a patients environment could be causing their condition. The list of conditions associated with environmental toxins is huge. Some of the major ones are; infertility, sensitivities and allergies, many mental health disorders, child development problems, most skin complaints, fatigue syndromes, autoimmunity, thyroid dysfunction, recurrent infection, respiratory diseases, learning difficulties, pain syndromes, cancers and many more.
