  • Heavy coffee consumption (more than 16 oz. per day)
  • Regular alcohol consumption
  • Smoking
  • Spending long hours driving on crowded, exhaust filled roads and highway – e.g. truck drivers, taxi drivers, 1 to 2 hours per day commuters
  • Candidiasis ( an overgrowth of Candida Yeast in your intestines
  • Routine consumption of 8-12 (or more) aspirin or acetaminophen (tylenol) per day
  • Exposure to herbicides and pesticides such as farm work, handling produce and pest control
  • Exposure to chemicals found in industrial sites, hair salons, gas stations, and auto repair shops
  • Long-term prescription drug therapy including anti-depressants, birth control pills and cholesterol lowering drugs (to name a few)
  • Recreational drug use
  • Mononucleosis, hepatitis and jaundice
  • Long-term constipation. The rotting and decaying fecal material found in the intestinal tract produces toxins that are absorbed into the bloodstream, which are then filtered through the liver
