Have you noticed
it’s getting harder to be healthy?
Have you noticed the incredible number of friends and loved ones Dying
of Diseases at younger ages and the regiments of folks taking multiple
drugs just to stay alive,,plus sadly the rise of Babies with Cancers,?

Body
Pollution - Should we Worry?
We rely on air, water and food
to sustain us.
The quality of our air, water and food has changed.
We don’t notice when we consume a pollutant here or an additive
there—they don’t seem to harm us.
Eventually, however, the pollutants and additives along with stress add
up—to the point where we get sick.
Let’s
look at a few of the reasons:
The average person still thinks about chemicals
as single entities, and our system of federal
regulation still decides on a case-by-case basis
whether chemicals are safe enough to circulate
in our world. But a paradigm shift is underway
among some scientists, who have over the last
30 years quietly begun to wonder: By introducing
so many substances that did not evolve along
with living organisms over hundreds of millions
of years, have we unwittingly initiated changes
in our biology that may be damaging it profoundly?

 AIR:We
might as well all call ourselves “smokers.” As
a result of deforestation and industrialization,
the air we breathe today has a mixture of thousands
of different toxins in it. Not only that, but the
air has about 30% less oxygen than what we enjoyed
200 years ago. One source put it another way, the
amount of CO2 in our air is increasing by 6.6 billion
tons per year. Fallout from nuclear testing and nuclear
accidents like Chernobyl and the smoke and particles
released from massive fires like the oil fields in
Kuwait etc all pollute our air.
Air
pollution effects are many, and they may be really
harmful.
Even
low levels of air pollution can stress out hearts

Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Stress Interact
to Predict Biologic and Clinical Outcomes in Asthma
We all inhale the air surrounding this
planet. Evidence of our air pollution is found even
in pristine areas in the far north. As glaciers recede,
tests on recently exposed soil indicate industrialized
pollutants.
As individuals we add to the mix with our automobile and lawn mower exhaust.
So even though we don’t roll our air into cigarettes, we do inhale
it.
Hundreds of
man-made chemicals--in our air, our water,
and our food--could be damaging the most
basic building blocks of human development
Chemical manufacturers have worked hard
to counter this academic research, hiring
chemists to study and discredit the results.
Vom Saal and others have had to spend enormous
amounts of time and money defending their
work, resources better devoted to moving
forward onto new ground. Researchers funded
by industry, curiously, tend to find that
every chemical is safe. In 2004, vom Saal
tallied up results of all the studies he
could find on BPA. He discovered that of
104 studies done by independent researchers,
94 found adverse effects and 10 found no
effects. Of the 11 studies conducted by industry-supported
researchers, zero identified adverse effects.
Marian Stanley, a spokesperson for the American
Chemical Council, which represents the interests
of chemical manufacturers, says, "We
are unaware of any big discrepancies between
the experimental research supported by industry
and by others. Animal studies--that is, credible
experimental research--from all sectors show
basically the same results across the board." Source |
WATER: Chemical
fertilizers and pesticides leached from our soils
often find their way to our drinking water. In addition,
heavy metals from industry may contaminate both our
ground and surface water. The relatively stagnant
nature of our water delivery systems encourages the
growth of microbes. Then we add toxic chemicals like
chlorine or chloramine to this soup… We call
it drinking water!
Various
pollutants, additives, heavy metals, and preservatives
have a synergistic effect once
...inside the body.
The synergistic (in combination)
effects with other contaminants already in
the environment
and our bodies (such as lead, mercury and
chlorine) have not been measured, though
the prognosis
is not good, as combinations with other metals
in particularly seem to increase its derogatory
effects. Other studies have shown that fluoride,
administered for the treatment of osteoporosis,
can actually weaken and decrease bone mass,
though these results are controversial. It
has also been implicated as a mutagen, "producing
chromosome aberrations and gene mutations in
cultured mammalian cells." (Zeiger, Shelby & Witt:
1993, National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences, Carolina) |
SOILS: Dirt
is dirt or soil is soil. Or is it? Most of our soils
are sadly anemic. That means, just like many of us,
they’re tired. Why? Chemical fertilizers have
created nutritional deficiencies.
The vegetables and fruits are then as deficient in nutrients as the soils
that nurture them. This makes them prey to bug infestations—just
as a weakened body plays host to beasties like
parasites and viruses. We spray layer after layer of toxins on the plants
to kill bugs. Now we have a double whammy to deal with—fewer nutrients
to help our immune systems wrestle with
an increasing load of toxins.
Am i affected by these toxins? which
ones?

FOODS: At
the turn of the century, about 90% of the food available
went from the farmer to the table—unpackaged
and unprocessed. Today, it’s the other way
around, about 90% of the
food in a supermarket is dead—packaged, refined and stripped of
nutrients. Once eaten, our cells have to struggle with the foreign invaders—additives
such as coloring, sweeteners, flavorings, and preservatives. Add to this
insult hybrid forms of grains, vegetables and fruits developed for storage
potential or resistance to bugs rather than for nutritional content.
Then there’s the cruel way animals are raised in crowded, confined
circumstances and injected with a concoction of antibiotics and hormones.
Diseased meat and poultry often pass inspection and land on our dinner
plates.
FOOD
INTOLERANCE NETWORK FACTSHEET
"There are over 14,000 man-made
chemicals added to the American food supply
today. Food additives are not natural nutrition
for humans or their pets. Children are suffering
the most from food additives because they
are exposed to food chemicals from infancy,
and human bodies were not meant to be exposed
to the degree of chemicals and food additives
that we are currently"
use the internet resources to research the
myriad of chemicals and food additives inundating
our modern food supply. |
STRESS: Many
of us are running on a treadmill. To maintain a high
standard of material living, family life often suffers.
Life becomes a round of work, eat and not enough
sleep. Recreation and relaxing activities are sandwiched
into weekends.
Voilá,
we get sick!
Dangerous
Prescriptions - What are you really taking?
With all this we expect our
body to build healthy cells. It’s enough
to make a cell up and quit or make us sick! The
natural health movement has helped many of us recognize
how we create disease. Over time, we give our bodies
too many toxins to deal with and too few nutrients
and immune
building tools to build with. Our cells are
overwhelmed and body tissue breaks down.

Allergies
An allergy occurs when a person’s
immune system over-reacts to substances — called
an allergen — in
the environment. These allergens are found in house
dust mites, pets, pollen, foods, drugs, insect stings,
latex and moulds. An allergen for one person may
not be a problem for another person, and everyone
reacts differently,and many of us don't even realize
how allergic we are to some things...test yourself >>> For
