According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2009, the meager 650 industrial chemicals reported in the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) that were non-PBT chemicals totaled 19.4 billion pounds**. These chemicals find their way into our water, air, soil and eventually into our bodies on a daily basis. Most of these environmental toxins are known to cause oxidative damage in cells and tissues which then activate inflammatory cytokines in the body. The cytokines are initiated by the immune system and therefore we see the interplay between toxins, the immune system and inflammation in the body. Additionally, our body's natural, physiological functions produce endogenous toxins which must be neutralized, excreted, or otherwise managed on a regular basis. Whether you consider yourself to be a conventional, complementary-alternative, or any other type of healthcare provider, this webinar will allow you to see the importance of how toxins substantially influence our health including the musculoskeletal system. Many of our patients have become appropriately concerned about these issues as well as the potential risks posed by conventional treatment. Think of how many Rx meds have been taken off the market or restricted in the past few years. NSAIDs and COX IIs now have "black box warnings". The public has increasingly been seeking out alternatives and this webinar will help you to provide them with natural options to address their concerns. **http://cfpub.epa.gov/eroe/index.cfm?fuseaction=detail.viewInd&lv=list.listByNewest&r=235289&subtop=312Featured Speaker: Robert Davis, D.O.
