Abstract: Chemical compounds ubiquitous in our food, air and water are now found in every person. The bioaccumulation of these compounds in some individuals can lead to a variety of metabolic and systemic dysfunctions and in some cases, outright disease states. The primary classes of the most common toxic offenders are solvents, pesticides and heavy metals. Of heavy metals, mercury is the one most individuals are burdened by. The systems most affected by these xenobiotic compounds include the immune, neurological and endocrine systems.
