The calculator's creator, Kevin Laverick of Totally U international says “It is quite alarming at how the vast majority of us are blissfully unaware of the amount of toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis and the significant effect it is having on our health and drug dependency. The Australian public seem to accept it as the norm,to rely on an average of 12 prescriptions per year, which address the symptoms of our ailments but not the actual cause. Increased toxin exposure can also be directly linked to Australia’s obesity problem as toxic overload can slow the metabolism and lead to weight gain”
“Disease is regularly occurring at younger ages. Infants and children are contracting catastrophic illnesses at increasing rates. In the last 20 years, in spite of billions of dollars spent on research, cancer has moved from the number 8 killer in the developed world to the number 2 killer. In 1900, 5% of the westernised population died of heart disease, cancer, or diabetes. Today, 95% of us will die from any combination of these causes. Without a doubt Toxins are slowly killing all of us, but there is a dearth of information on the significant growth in toxin exposure.”
