20 Things That Changed Our World (1970–1999)
and Built a Generation of Toxicity

Born between 1981 and 1999, our generation experienced a lot—processed foods becoming the norm, increased stress, environmental changes, less sleep, more toxins, and lifestyles that often pushed our bodies into survival mode. For many people, it created the “perfect storm” internally long before symptoms ever appeared.
I was already 11 years old when this all started shifting. Looking back now, I can see how the trifecta of stress, inflammation, and environmental factors created the perfect storm in my body. My MS wasn’t the root problem; it was the symptom of deeper issues happening underneath for years.
MS is an autoimmune disease, and autoimmunity begins as an inflammatory process long before diagnosis.
The real question is: are you inflamed too?

Contributing Factors
Hybridized wheat
Spraying of folic acid on all grains
Glyphosate
All the other numerous toxins and pesticides
Sugar / “No Fat!”
Last generation of Natural health vs. Newtonium model switch
Uptick in vaccinations
Toxins galore (GRAS…generally recognized as safe ingredients)
Heavy metals actually in body or a generational toxicity from MOM
Outdated electricity
EMF
WIFI
Plastic in our oceans, soil, etc.
Most importantly: Why detox is essential for this age group!
No natural remedies, no sun, no playing outside, video games
Cell phones, computers
Posture changed: heavier backpacks, drive to school, phone, computer
Accustomed to a quick fix
Fast food
Postural changes between computers, cell phones, sitting too much…etc.
The perfect storm that has been created here is called autoimmunity. There is no quick fix.

The Cell Danger Response (CDR)
When the cellular powerhouse stays locked in “defense mode,” triggering chronic illness.
The Compromised Vagus Nerve
The gut-brain highway gets short-circuited by constant stress and toxicity, locking the body out of “rest and digest” mode.

What is autoimmunity?
What is autoimmunity? It is when your body attacks itself! It will start out as cellular inflammation, then tissue inflammation, tissue damage, organ damage. Dr. Susan believes untreated autoimmunity is the precursor to a cancer diagnosis…

Do not ignore this!
Symptoms may be:
Weight loss resistance
Fatigue
Gut issues
Addictions
Anxiety
Depression
Hormone issues
Sleep issues
I always say, the answer is in your resistance, and you will resist everything about me, but I have the answer.
I survived through this storm and did it naturally too!! No meds!
I was raised in the natural mindset, that is why I am different.
I hope this was helpful!
