Our Chemical Legacy
Most of the synthetic chemicals found in the children didn't exist in the environment, never mind people's bodies, when my own grandmother Millie Pike Duggan was born in 1921. What an amazing changing century she witnessed! Life expectancy nearly doubled, the standard of living increased dramatically in some parts of the world, and human innovations changed the nature of the planet. |

In a four-year study of Choctaw Native Americans in southeastern Oklahoma, researchers found a higher than average occurrence of scleroderma. Although genetics in the closely related Choctaw population was likely a contributing factor, relatives who moved away did not have as high a rate of scleroderma. |

The number of cases of asthma is steadily increasing worldwide, especially among children, although around half of the children with asthma eventually grow out of it. Some experts believe that this is linked with the rise in air pollution. There is also a genetic predisposition to the condition. |

They spin the research and the science, show that there is no "proof that small amounts of certain chemicals cause cancer, and generally try to get regulations made that are as favorable for business and industry as they can. That's their job. |

However, if you believe that pollution is the major contributing factor to your asthma there is much you can do to make your environment healthier. You can take control of your condition and reduce or eliminate your exposure to household and workplace pollutants. þ Keep everything that gives off unpleasant odours out of inhalation range until you need to use them. These include polishes, window and oven cleaners, insecticides, cosmetics, nail polish and remover, glues, etc. Use only in well ventilated areas. |

Seaweed Eaters Seem to Enjoy Lower Risk of Cancer
Seaweeds have also been studied for their possible anticancer effects. One recent paper published in Cancer" Chemotherapy and Pharmacology in 2005 investigated the antitumoral properties of a polysaccharide isolated from a brown marine algae Sargassum stenophyllum. And kombu and wakame are particularly rich in a substance called fucoidan, a polysaccharide believed to have anticancer activity. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Cancer has a multitude of contributing factors, such as: heredity, beliefs, attitudes, habits, excesses, nutrition, environmental pollutants, and stresses, as well as various carcinogens like radiation, pesticides, toxic chemicals, dioxins, and asbestos—to name a few. It is an enzyme deficiency and an autointoxication disease. It is a failure of the body's cells to obtain all the building materials essential for their construction and functioning. It is also the result of excess toxicity, which affects and eventually destroys cells, or transforms them into abnormal, wild, growing cells. | | This means getting all the right nutrients and enzymes, having the right environment, and avoiding those things that tend to depress immunity such as: household cleaners, the overuse of antibiotics and drugs, pesticides, chemical additives present in the foods we eat, exposure to environmental pollutants, and stress. Lowered immunity results in impaired healing ability and lowered defense against infection. |

Although we could continue to draw out these connections and relationships, we know you're eager—maybe desperate—to get into the book and start finding some solutions to your sleep problem. All of the therapies described in this book have proven helpful for some people with sleep problems. Though there are few cautions to observe, we've mentioned those where relevant. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Were we to create a world without tobacco (or various environmental pollutants), much disease would be prevented; mortality would be reduced dramatically—not only just to smokers themselves, but also to those around them. As we will show in chapter 8, this is not a hypothetical conclusion. Thus, the issue is not the effectiveness of prevention. Rather the question is: to what degree does routine medical screening contribute to prevention? This chapter has provided some counterintuitive answers. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The exact causes of ADHD are not known, but contributing factors include oxygen deprivation at birth, prenatal trauma, heredity, food allergies and artificial additives in food (particularly foods containing salicylates), smoking during pregnancy, lead poisoning, a low-protein diet, a protease deficiency, and environmental pollutants. |
Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George
See book keywords and concepts |  The development of the human brain in utero is an extremely fragile process, as the placenta is not an effective shield against environmental pollutants and the blood-brain barrier (which protects an adult brain from environmental insults) is not completely formed until the beginning of the third trimester. Because the brain continues to develop postnatally and experience periods of high vulnerability, toxic interference at any point of prenatal and early childhood growth can lead to permanent and devastating changes in brain functioning. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  Why doesn't the EPA regulate pharmaceuticals as environmental pollutants? The answer is obvious: Because the EPA mirrors the FDA in its kow-towing to the financial interests of powerful corporations, and it's far easier for the EPA to bury its head in medication-contaminated sand than to take meaningful action to protect the environment from Big Pharma.
Greenwashing is big business, and so is pushing more toxic products to consumers that they will spray on their lawns, shove down their throats, put in their cars or pee away into the sewer system. |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts |  Toxins may include chemical food additives, environmental pollutants, trapped metabolic waste products, and poisons generated by bacteria that decompose undigested foods in the gut. Once the body's tolerance level for toxins has been reached, it signals pain or other forms of discomfort. This stimulates the organs and systems of elimination, such as the skin, respiratory system, liver, large intestine, kidneys, lymphatic system and the immune system into defensive action. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A number of pesticides and environmental pollutants have been shown to have estrogenic effects. Some scientists believe that these chemicals promote breast cancer, and it is possible that they also contribute to the development of fibrocystic breast disease. Women with cystic breasts might therefore benefit from consuming organically grown foods, which are relatively free of pesticides.
Conclusion
Fibrocystic breast disease is a common and often painful condition. It might be a precursor to breast cancer, although the evidence in this regard is conflicting. |

To relieve and eliminate food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances:
• Follow a basic elimination diet by eliminating known food allergens from your diet until your system is cleared and strengthened.
• Deep clean your tissues and organs, especially your liver/gallbladder and colon, with an intensive cleansing protocol that's appropriate for you, and do regular maintenance cleansing thereafter.
• Minimize or eliminate toxic chemicals in your environment (i.e. |

See book keywords and concepts |  This product has no effect on the buildup of environmental pollutants, nor does that type of buildup lead to thinning hair.
NIOXIN SEMODEX
Nioxin purports that thinning hair is caused by the presence of the Demodex folliculorum mite and that their Semodex products are designed to kill this mite, thus creating thicker hair and improving hair growth. The problem with this theory is that the Demodex folliculorum mite is present in the sebaceous glands, which are attached to the hair follicle, of lots and lots of people. |

See book keywords and concepts | | This blood test only accounted for environmental pollutants, however, and did not even include all the toxic chemicals that are ingested from eating processed pseudofood.
Toxins from your natural metabolic processes can also accumulate in the body if it is so overloaded and weakened that it is rendered incapable of performing its rudimentary detoxification process. This is very common in our culture with its poor eating and lifestyle habits and the added burden of environmental toxins and consumption of large quantities of chemicals in the form of over-the-counter and pharmaceutical drugs. |
Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton
See book keywords and concepts |  For instance, high blood pressure appears to be most strongly connected to an increased exposure to toxic metals, whereas higher blood fat (lipids), high cholesterol levels, and diabetes, all tend to have powerful associations with increased levels of organochlorine pesticides and environmental pollutants. So while it is a good idea to reduce your intake of all toxic chemicals, if you have a particular disease, target the chemicals that are known to be linked to it.
High Cholesterol
For the last few decades, many millions of people have been waging a war against higher levels of cholesterol. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Consuming chlorella before or during meals with meat will also theoretically protect you from various environmental pollutants. Chlorella is well known to bind to heavy metals in particular, shepherding them out of your body before they can do much damage. Personally, I take chlorella any time I eat seafood for this very purpose.
You can also, of course, turn to fresh, organic, free-range meat. That's the safest approach for any meat consumer. Yes, it's expensive, but last time I checked, treating pancreatic cancer was a bit on the pricey side, too. |

Preventing atherosclerosis therefore requires more than just a "magic bullet" or two. An effective approach should include a diet that emphasizes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and fish; a comprehensive nutritional-supplement program; and regular exercise. Higher doses of individual nutrients (such as vitamin or folic acid) may be necessary for particular individuals; this can be discussed with a nutrition-oriented physician. |

See book keywords and concepts |  But other factors help to determine the rate and the extent of wrinkling, including diet and nutrition, muscle tone, habitual facial expressions, stress, proper skin care (or lack thereof), exposure to environmental pollutants, and lifestyle habits such as smoking. Heredity probably also plays a role.
The most important factor of all is sun exposure, which not only dries out the skin but also leads to the generation of free radicals that can damage skin cells. The sun is your skin's worst enemy. | | Other causes of poisoning include exposure to environmental pollutants and toxic substances used in the workplace. Toxins in food can also cause poisoning. (See foodborne and waterborne disease in Part Two.)
Recommendations
Q Keep the telephone number of your local Poison Control Center posted near your telephone. (See Poison Control Centers on page 629.) This is particularly important if you have children. Also, keep a bottle of syrup of ipecac and charcoal tablets, available in drugstores and health food stores, on hand at all times. |
