In the last 60 years agriculture in the U.S. and worldwide has become industrialized – a drastic change from the way humans have farmed for the previous 10,000 years. The model of industrial agriculture includes the use of pesticides. A pesticide is defined as a substance that is used to control, repel or kill forms of animal or plant life that are unwanted, such as weeds (herbicides), insects (bug killers), bacteria (antimicrobials), fungi (fungicides), and mice and rats (rodenticides).9,10  People are exposed to pesticide residues in their diet as well as in their homes, workplaces, schools and hospitals.

Herbicides

Glyphosate (Roundup) is the most extensively used herbicide in the world. 8 The US EPA first authorized the use of Glyphosate Based Herbicides in 1974, and its use in the U.S. has increased more than 250-fold in the past 40 years. It is estimated that glyphosate use worldwide will reach one million tons per year by 2020. 8 Traces of Glyphosate can now commonly be found in air, water, food, soil and human urine. 8 In 2015 the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to man.” 8

Food Additives

The consumption of food additives has increased in recent years. Categories of food additives include preservatives, thickeners, antioxidants, colors, emulsifiers, gelling agents, stabilizers and sweeteners.2

Aspartame, a synthetic dipeptide artificial sweetener used in foods, medications and beverages, was first approved by the US FDA in 1981. It is one of the most popular artificial sweeteners worldwide.7 However, researchers have continued to debate both its recommended safe dosage and whether or not it is safe to organ systems.6

Globally the most widely used pigment is titanium dioxide with an annual consumption volume of four million tons.5 In 1969 the Joint FAO/WHO Expert committee on Food Additives decided that it was unnecessary to establish an acceptable daily intake of TiO2 additives in food. However, experts believe that human health risks cannot be ruled out based on the existing toxicity studies. Winkler et al state: “The now available literature reveals data gaps and uncertainties that should be addressed before declaring food-grad TiO2 particles as generally safe.”5

Food Allergies

Approximately one-fifth of the population have self-reported adverse reactions to foods. According to some experts the incidence of food allergy is increasing and may affect up to 15-20% of infants.4 The incidence of IgE immune mediated food allergies – which can be life threatening - is estimated to be 4-7% of preschool

children and 1-2% of adults. The most common allergens in the US are fish, shellfish, cow’s milk, wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts and soy.3 Gluten sensitivity and celiac disease are examples of non IgE-mediated immune mediated food reactions. 3 Non-immune mediated food intolerances are also common, with less severe, nonspecific symptoms that overlap with other functional disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome.1 There are also multiple categories of non-immune mediated reactions, such as inborn errors of metabolism, disorders of digestion and absorption, pharmacological reactions and toxic reactions.3

In a recent study 22.4% of patients with a history of allergy showed a positive
skin test to at least one of the food additives tested. About one-third of these patients had a positive reaction to an oral challenge.2
AddiClenz is the ideal homeopathic formula to provide temporary relief of symptoms from exposure to or consumption of pesticides, herbicides and food additives, such as headaches, stomach pain, fatigue, skin irritation and occasional diarrhea.

What Are Food Additive, Pesticide and Herbicide Symptoms?

Symptoms of pesticides and herbicides vary with the class of chemical and the intensity and length of exposure. Indications of mild or early exposure include, headache, fatigue, dizziness, skin irritation, and diarrhea. With moderate exposure symptoms may also include cough, stomach pain, weakness and poor muscle coordination.11
There are a limited number of human studies on aspartame. The available data suggests that - even when consumed within recommended safe levels - both aspartame and its metabolites may induce oxidative stress, disrupt oxidant/antioxidant balance, and damage the integrity of cell membranes. These effects may deregulate cellular function and lead to systemic inflammation.6 Aspartame also elevates plasma cortisol levels, causing excess free radical production and has been linked to cognitive and behavioral problems.
