You can limit your exposure to environmental chemicals as much as possible with the following tips:

1. Buy and eat, as much as possible, organic produce and free-range, organic foods.
2. Rather than eating fish, which is largely contaminated with PCBs and mercury, consume a high-quality purified krill oil.
3. Avoid processed foods -- remember that they're processed with chemicals!
4. Only use natural cleaning products in your home. Most health food stores will have these available or you can search online for them.
5. Switch over to natural brands of toiletries, including shampoo, toothpaste, antiperspirants and cosmetics. Same sources here, either your local health food store or you can search online.
6. Avoid spraying insect repellants that contain DEET on your body. There are safe, effective and natural alternatives out there.
7. Remove any metal fillings. Amalgams are a major source of mercury and any metal, including gold, can cause biogalvanism. Be sure to have this done by a qualified biological dentist. Although nearly any dentist is technically qualified to replace your amalgam fillings, far less than 95 percent have any clue on how to do it properly so your risk of mercury exposure is minimized.
8. Avoid using artificial air fresheners, dryer sheets, fabric softeners or other synthetic fragrances as they can pollute the air you are breathing.
9. Avoid artificial food additives of all kind, including artificial sweeteners and MSG.
10. Limit your use of drugs (prescription and over-the-counter) as much as possible. Drugs are chemicals too, and they will leave residues and accumulate in your body over time.
