How to Reduce Your Rate of Aging

23 Jun, 2022 | Return|

The most influential cause of aging is excessive toxic burden causing damage to mitochondria, cell membranes, and proteins.

Toxins are in the air, water, food, and toiletries. Even minerals can become toxic if they accumulate to high toxic levels.

For example, iron at optimal levels is critical for life but toxic when excessive. Iron overload happens when your body absorbs more than it can excrete.

One out of 300 individuals fails to excrete iron adequately due to a hereditary disorder known as Hemochromatosis.

Dr. Leo Zacharski, MD, professor and research scientist at Dartmouth Medical School, revealed the dangers of excess iron in his 2007 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

He writes that excess iron is associated with degenerative diseases like diabetes and coronary and peripheral artery disease. As we age, diagnosing and treating excess iron earlier in life may reduce the later onset of degenerative disease.

Iron overload is detected in a simple blood test. Body iron is stored in a protein called Ferritin.

Do you know your ferritin levels? Early intervention to reduce the toxic burden is the best preventive treatment for rapid aging. Specifically, for iron overload, Dr. Zacharski recommends blood donation regularly.

Know your level of toxic burden so you may reduce it. Restore your youthful energy, vision, memory, and mobility by detoxing to a healthier you. IMI specializes in diagnosing and treating the oxidative stress caused by toxic burden and iron overload.
