What the heck is going down my house drains?

December 7, 2017 By Dr. Heather

I wonder too. So I looked into it.

And I stumbled across this infographic from GRIST.

It’s alarming yet not surprising. However, what I do find intriguing is that we do have ( kinda) clean water available to us.

( although I do admit, I use spring water and in my LA apartment, we are about to purchase a Berkey water filter).

What can we do? … besides purchasing other water sources?

Use cleaner products. That’s number one. Although triclosan and triclocarban are banned they are still found in many household products ( check out this article). Read labels and choose products that come from reputable companies that make an effort to produce products that are safer for us and the planet. You can travel over to the EWG and look for these companies.

And what to clean your drain with? Crunchy Betty has a good recipe that calls for vinegar and baking soda – that’s it and it works.

First Visit

We discuss your symptoms and what is going on with your health.

From our conversation, I draw up a treatment plan that will be sent to you within 24 hours with any suggested supplements and/or lab work. Depending on your location, we will determine the best place to have the lab work performed. Any necessary prescriptions will be sent from Fullscript where you can easily create an account and fulfill online.

Note: I usually suggest blood work and other labs in a 1st session to look at body biomarkers so that we can match symptoms to what is happening in the body and then make sure to align diet and lifestyle from there.
