Interview with Dr. Hank Liers Part 3: chemical sensitivities and chlorella detoxification Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Getting rid of synthetic chemicals in your body Mike: More and more consumers are now acutely aware of the chemical burden that is being placed on our bodies. Even mainstream journalists are aware. I think it was National Geographic that had a journalist who went and had all the testing done and found out that he had hundreds of synthetic chemicals in his organs. Dr. Gabriel Cousins down in southern Arizona is doing a lot of testing on this right now, and is finding hundreds of chemicals in the heart, the liver, the brain and the kidneys. They are embedded in all the tissues.

You need a chemical. Blood pressure too high? We have a chemical for that, too. Do you feel nervous speaking in front of groups? We have a chemical for that one. Having trouble with your relationships? chemical. Got a little bit of joint pain? Yup, there's a chemical for that." Then they'll tell you, just in case, "We have chemicals for stuff that you haven't even experienced yet. We have chemicals that you can take to make sure that you never have pain or heart disease. You should take all these chemicals right now, just in case, and keep taking them for as long as you live.

But for a long time the chemical industry and the Food & Drug Administration have insisted that these products do not really need to be safety regulated because they are not for internal use. They make that interesting distinction. Minka: Especially because they use many transdermal patches to administer medicine, so it is contradictory. Mike: Indeed it is. How does nicotine get absorbed but not cosmetic chemicals? Minka: Exactly. Mike: Where do you think this industry is going then? Do you think that the future is represented by your kind of product that is chemical-free?

Consumer alert: Popular air fresheners found to contain toxic chemical Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The sad truth is that most brand-name consumer products contain at least one toxic chemical, and that's true for food as much as it is for home care products. Unless you're shopping at a health food store and buying truly natural, organic, unscented and environmentally responsible products, you can bet there are toxic chemicals all over your home (and in your body) right now. The average American consumer uses close to 100 toxic chemicals before she even leaves the house in the morning.

How's that for a con?

Interview with Dr. Hank Liers Part 3: chemical sensitivities and chlorella detoxification Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Multi-generational chemical toxicities Mike: Let me ask you a deeper question with the detoxification of chemicals and the role that micronutrients and micro-algae nutrients, like chlorella and CGF, can play in that; there is an increasing awareness now that the chemical burden on our population is multi-generational. The epigenetic factors are starting to be recognized, and we are realizing that the toxic load of someone today is passed on through multiple generations.

Consumer alert: Popular air fresheners found to contain toxic chemical Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Of course, most consumers have no idea they're consuming cancer-causing ingredients, and most retailers seem to have no interest whatsoever in testing their products for dangerous chemical substances. Why was Walgreens selling products if it didn't know what was in them? And what about retailers like Wal-Mart, Costco and Sam's Clubs? Aren't they also aware that many of their consumer products contain cancer-causing chemicals? The sad truth is that most brand-name consumer products contain at least one toxic chemical, and that's true for food as much as it is for home care products.

Toxic chemical triclosan commonly found in anti-bacterial soaps, toothpaste products Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

These companies like the chemical because it allows them to state the product is a "99.9% bacteria killer" and make claims about the product being a "medicated formula." According to the chemical creator's website, Ciba Specialty Chemicals "invented triclosan more than 35 years ago and in this long time of application without any adverse effects it has proven itself as the 'aspirin' of the antibacterial actives -- helpful without side effects.

Dangerous chemicals in personal care products compromise health Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

And these perfumes are not essential oils harvested from flowers out in a wild field somewhere, they are synthetic chemicals, manufactured in a chemical plant, and many are highly carcinogenic. So after washing their clothes to get out all the dirt, people are then coating their clothes with a product that deposits a thin film of toxic chemicals onto their clothes. In other words, the clothes were cleaner before they went through the washer and dryer. And now that they come out of the dryer, they are dangerous to your health, because now they have been soaked in a toxic chemical cocktail.

Consumers' use of pharmaceuticals, personal care products polluting rivers and oceans with toxic chemicals Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Escalating introduction to the marketplace of new pharmaceuticals is adding exponentially to the already large array of chemical classes, each with distinct modes of biochemical action, many of which are poorly understood." The authors went on to write that exposure to PPCPs, especially for aquatic organisms, may be more chronic than exposure to pesticides and other industrial chemicals "because PPCPS are constantly infused into the environment wherever humans live or visit.

Big Tobacco and Big Pharma: same tactics, different chemicals Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The Big Lie of the pharmaceutical industry It's a big lie that you can cure cancer or diabetes by coming up with the right chemical, or that you can even cure depression by altering brain chemistry with the right chemical. This is a big lie. It's as if medical science has gone down the wrong pathway for so long that they can't even see the fact that they're lost. They're lost in the forest, and they can't even see the trees. All they can do is continue to try to come up with more and more chemicals they think are treating these diseases.

Bisphenol A chemical commonly found in canned soup and food storage plastics Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

They recently completed a study of the toxic chemical and its presence in name-brand canned goods, finding that 50% of those canned goods contained bisphenol A. To make matters worse, the FDA states about 20 percent of the U.S. diet comes from this form of food packaging. Even so, there are no current government safety standards that regulate how much BPA is allowed in canned foods. The burden of proof lies with government and lobbyists, who say the doses found in canned goods and plastics are very low. But what dose of this toxic chemical is really safe? No one seems to know.

Rich" families used processed, packaged and heavily marketed chemical detergent products in much the same way that they now increasingly eat processed foods.

You will see in the future definitely, for example, vanities that are refrigerated because with natural products you are not using chemical preservatives and parabens and such things. They will have a shelf life just as an apple has a shelf life. It has a certain amount of energy and then it begins to decay. When you keep your products refrigerated it helps them last a lot longer. I think that in the future you will definitely be seeing more products that do not have the chemical ingredients and stabilizers.

Antidepressants, Bipolar Disorder and the chemical Enslavement of Humankind by Drug Companies Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

We're losing not just a generation of minds to this mass chemical warfare being perpetrated on our population; we're actually losing our souls. We're giving away what it means to be human by surrendering our experiences to "chemical containment." Big Pharma will stop at nothing to find more ways to force yet more pharmaceuticals down the throats of anything that has a throat.

Dangerous chemicals in personal care products compromise health Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The average American household is a toxic chemical dump. People have antimicrobial soaps, dryer sheets with toxic chemicals, and then there are people using all sorts of personal perfumes and fragrance products that are also loaded with cancer-causing chemicals. You've got people putting deodorant in their armpits, and that deodorant contains aluminum which promotes dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

And besides, even if millions of people are killed each year around the world by Big Pharma's drugs, they know that humans are always making new babies, and every newborn represents a new opportunity for disease diagnosis and a lifetime of chemical treatment. The human race has nearly reached the point of absolute chemical enslavement by drug companies. And the people who have no idea what's happening are, not surprisingly, the very same ones currently taking the pharmaceuticals. First, they come for your wallet. And then your mind. And then your soul.

And now that they come out of the dryer, they are dangerous to your health, because now they have been soaked in a toxic chemical cocktail. And people put these clothes on every single day, then walk around and produce sweat which moistens the clothes, and that accelerates the diffusion of such chemicals into their bloodstream through their skin. They do this and then they wonder why they are diseased. They think their laundry is clean because it smells like perfume. The average American household is a toxic chemical dump.

Interview with Dr. Hank Liers Part 3: chemical sensitivities and chlorella detoxification Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Back to this chemical sensitivity issue, we have had to learn to live in a very clean environment. We have all-tile floors. We clean the house with baking soda and vinegar. We keep plastics minimized in the house. We keep molds down. You do everything you possibly can externally, but even you do not use shampoos. You do not use soaps. Then you find out you do not need them. Actually the more you eat good, organic whole food and stay away from these chemicals, the better you smell, to the point that now, walking up to someone with a bunch of perfume on is a bad experience.

Warning: many dryer sheets contain cancer causing chemicals Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Nearly every chemical that touches the skin finds its way into the body and into the bloodstream. As a result, wearing toxic fragrance chemicals is actually quite similar to eating them. These toxic chemicals would never, of course, be approved as safe food ingredients due to their toxicity. Many are registered as EPA toxins. Nearly all are listed in the government RTECS database of toxic chemicals (see http://www.nisc.com/cis/details/rtecs.htm for more info). Yet they are, for some reason, allowed to be used in consumer products simply because it is assumed they pose no hazard to human health.

Typical household chemical waste substances include: Pharmaceuticals, dish soap, skin care products, cosmetics, synthetic hormones used in HRT, cleaning products, car oil, laundry products and foods containing chemical additives. Most consumers don't think twice about what they flush down their toilets or wash down their drains, but it's time that we all learned to think holistically about our interaction with our planet.

Strike a pose! BodyWorlds exhibit features human bodies preserved with industrial food chemicals (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This is where they take the bodies of dead volunteers (who volunteered before they died, obviously), strip off their skin and body fat, then prop them up into dynamic poses where they are plasticized through a rather technical chemical process involving aspartame, sodium nitrite and yeast extract. Think Weekend at Bernie's, without the skin. I'm not making this up. Click here to see the Body Worlds website for yourself. BodyWorlds coordinators prefer volunteers who drink a lot of diet soda, since their bodies are already half chemically preserved from the moment of death.

The widespread use of fabric softeners and dryer sheets creates yet more chemical exposure through contaminated clothing. I believe that these chemicals are directly correlated with neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders and reproductive disorders, not to mention various forms of cancer and degenerative brain diseases (like Alzheimer's).

What used to be just a normal unhappy moment or episode of sadness is now described by drug-pushing psychiatrists as a disease requiring chemical treatment. Shyness is no longer simply a personal attribute; it's also a disease requiring chemical treatment. Creative expression, excitement and active curiosity in children is no longer a sign of a healthy, learning child; it's a symptom of a "disease" called ADHD that requires treatment with powerful mind-altering amphetamine drugs that used to be called "speed" when they were sold on the street.

Consumer alert: Popular air fresheners found to contain toxic chemical Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Four consumer advocacy groups (and environmental groups) are now filing a petition with the EPA and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), calling for the agency to start testing air freshener products for this toxic chemical. The four groups include the Sierra Club, Alliance for Healthy Homes and the National Center for Healthy Housing. All this brings to mind an important question: Why hasn't some government agency taken steps to test these toxic chemicals in air freshener products before?

Warning: many dryer sheets contain cancer causing chemicals Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

When people use dryer sheets, they are coating their cloths with a thin film of artificial chemical perfumes. Just like other perfumes, a person’s sensitivity to these perfumes decreases over time to the point where they don’t even notice how potent these artificial fragrance chemicals are. None of this would be interesting if it weren’t for the fact that these fragrance chemical are extremely toxic chemicals. They are known carcinogens. They cause liver damage and cancer in mammals.

According to the chemical creator's website, Ciba Specialty Chemicals "invented triclosan more than 35 years ago and in this long time of application without any adverse effects it has proven itself as the 'aspirin' of the antibacterial actives -- helpful without side effects. "The popularity of triclosan is a reflection of its unique combination of efficacy against almost all types of bacteria and safety to man and nature which with the currently known substances used cannot be surmounted.
