Also called: Toxemia of pregnancy, Toxemia, Preeclampsia, Pre Eclampsia, Bacteremia
Toxemia is a generic term for the presence of toxins in the blood. There are two kind of toxemia:
1. Toxemia of pregnancy- A condition encountered in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure, proteinuria (the presence of protein in the urine, which is usually an indication of disease, one symptom of which is abnormal protein metabolism) and edema. May precede the onset of seizures (eclampsia). Also called preeclampsia or pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Symptoms of Toxemia include swelling of the feet and protein in the urine. If toxemia is left undiagnosed and untreated, the continuous increase in blood pressure can lead to deadly complications for both mother and baby.
2. Bacteremia- Bacterial toxins in the blood. An abnormal condition in which there are toxic substances present in the blood. Bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cause several infections. Bacteremia can have several consequences. The immune response to the bacteria can cause sepsis (blood poisoning) and septic shock, which has a relatively high mortality rate. Bacteria can also use the blood to spread to other parts of the body (which is called hematogenous spread), causing infections away from the original site of infection.

"When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering.
After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
