(NaturalNews) Think the oil is just polluting the Gulf? Think again... The Associated Press recently shared that of the 212 chemicals the CDC reported finding in human blood last year, more than 180 of those chemicals started out in oil or natural gas. So, while everyone's focused on the oil that's polluting the Gulf and oceans worldwide, oil has also been quietly polluting our bodies for years - and all too often disrupting our health.
How did these oil-based petrochemicals get inside of us? Oil-based chemicals are more ubiquitous than most people think. In fact, most people put petrochemicals in or on their bodies many times each day. If you're using mainstream toothpaste, shampoo, lotion, lipstick, shaving cream, or perfume, you're probably absorbing their petrochemicals. If you're eating non-organic food, you're probably consuming oil-based insecticides on your food.
Petrochemicals are also in the water supply. In fact, chlorine is made from oil and it's often purposefully added to municipal water supplies. But it doesn't stop there... Petrochemicals are in plastic, carpeting, nylon and polyester clothing, furniture, ink, crayons, candles, laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and computers. And from all of these sources, they're absorbed into our bodies.
Propylene glycol is an FDA approved oil derivative that's found in ice creams, packaged cakes, and other junk foods. Propylene glycol is also common in personal care products - and in anti-freeze. In fact, propylene glycol was originally formulated as anti-freeze. Isn't it nice that children all over the world are eating anti-freeze?
The problem with petrochemicals is that they're hormone disruptors, and hormones affect our moods, sleep, growth, sexual development - and essentially the functioning of all our organs. With time and accumulation, petrochemicals can also damage our nerves, liver, and brain.
And these chemicals can be at the root of birth defects, asthma, cancer - and more.
A Carnegie Mellon chemistry professor explains that the underlying premise of the petrochemical industry is that these molecules will "do what they're designed for and not interact with life. What we're finding is that premise is wrong - profoundly wrong." The professor also explains that a "whole world of low-dose (health) effects" are being discovered from petrochemical accumulation in the body.
All of this provides all the more reason to make the mainstay of your diet organic foods from nature, to deeply detoxify your body, and to use only natural cleaning and personal care products purchased from a health food store. These simple steps can dramatically reduce your exposure to oil-based chemicals - and also help you remove many of the dangerous substances that are already inside.

Kim Evans is a natural health writer and author of
Cleaning Up! The Ultimate Body Cleanse.
Cleaning Up! offers deep cleansing and using methods in this book, people have gotten rid of dozens of different types of health problems, as well as just losing excess weight, thinking more clearly, and feeling better.
Kim's next book chronicles events in her life that happen to match patterns in the Bible. She's also found three places in the Bible that tell us its about these patterns and even asking you to match them.
Here's a little from the upcoming book...
In Isaiah 22:20, it says, "And it must occur in that day that I will call my servant, namely Elia
kim." But, because these prophecies are cryptic and they aren't meant to be understood until they are understood, it's only the last three letters.
A few lines later, it says, "From the land of Kittim it has been revealed to them."
Here, you just take out any three middle letters, and again, it's the name of the person bringing you this message, or the sacred secret of the prophecy. Actually, if you take those two passages, Kim is about the only name you can get from both of them.
In Numbers 1:1 – 1:18, it's talking about "the family" and mentions Pagiel. It also twice mentions February 1st, (Kim's birthday) and then says that the youngest is 20 years old. Kim's little sister Paige is currently 20 years old.
In Chronicles 1 11:20 it mentions the brother of Joab and then in the same sentence uses the word brandishing. Kim's middle name is Jo and her older sister's name is Brandi. There are other patterns to her sisters too but these sort of mention them by name.
Of course, it helps if you know that there is a magical spiritual reality available that comes deep cleansing and often major dietary upgrades. It's also why Jesus was teaching the same thing, if you find his teachings in the Essene Gospel of Peace. In this text, he even says things like, "You'll never see the father unless you clean your colon." But, this is paraphrased...
In the Bible Jesus says things more like, happy are those who wash their robes, as they can enter the tree of life. The tree of life is elsewhere explained as God's paradise. He also said, first clean the inside of the cup and then the outside will also be clean.
