See book keywords and concepts |  Many of the grains used in commercial pet food contain levels of herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides that are cancer-causing agents. These are grains that did not pass inspection for use in human foods because of the levels of herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, or mycotoxins; however, they are deemed fit for use in pet foods. Little, if any, testing or research is undertaken to determine levels of these toxic substances in pet foods. |
Ron Garner
See book keywords and concepts |  Industrial chemicals such as pesticides, fungicides and insecticides, plastics, radiation, and synthetic products are changing the natural health-giving properties of our food. They introduce toxins to our bodies that our ancestors did not have to cope with.
Some industrial chemicals, detergents, and food dyes are classified as hormone disrupters because they are estrogen mimics. Our bodies mistake synthetic estrogens for the real thing, accept it, and process it, which causes an imbalance of our natural hormones. |
Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac.
See book keywords and concepts |  Other sources of copper include birth control pills, intrauterine devices, fungicides, and pesticides, all of which contain copper as a main ingredient. A thorough analysis from a health-care practitioner, including assessment for nutritional status and heavy toxicity, can determine whether copper detoxification or supplementation is needed. |
David Wolfe
See book keywords and concepts |  Organic foods are not sprayed, grown with pesticides or fungicides, or genetically modified. Pesticides and fungicides are chemicals specifically designed to kill living organisms. They should not be used on our pristine lands, put on our foods or fed to our children.
Spend the extra money for organic food, you are worth it. That investment will come back to you multiplied a hundredfold. You will also be supporting the organic farmers and organic food distributors who need our financial assistance. |
C. W. Randolph, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Environmental estrogen, or xenoestrogen (pronounced "ZEE-no-estrogen"), can be found in pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, plastics, fuels, car exhausts, dry cleaning chemicals, industrial waste, and meat from animals that have been fed estrogenic drugs to fatten them. It is also found in the synthetic estrogen and progesterone (chemically termed progestin) of birth control pills and hormone therapies; these synthetic hormones are secreted in women's urine, are flushed down the toilet, and eventually make their way back into the food chain. | | Chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides are routinely applied to mass-produced fruits and vegetables. In addition, most people routinely use bug sprays, weed killers, and other pesticides in their homes and yards. Finally, plastic products are part of almost every person's daily life, and many of them give off xenoestrogens when heated, whether purposely in a microwave oven or accidentally in a hot car.
Petrochemicals and solvents. Many general hygiene products—such as skin cream, lotion, soap, shampoo, perfume, hair spray, and room deodorizers—contain petrochemicals. | | Throw away all pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Never tent your house and fumigate it with pesticides. Research and use organic approaches and products for home gardening and pest control. |
David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes
See book keywords and concepts |  Chemical: Caused by exposure to toxins, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, heavy metals, household and industrial chemicals, fumes, dust, smoke, tobacco, and synthetic drugs.
Environmental: Exposure to extreme cold or heat, noise, ultraviolet sunlight, changes in barometric pressure or altitude, allergens, xenoestrogens (foreign substances that imitate the effects of estrogen), electromagnetic influences (microwaves, radio waves, electric high voltage lines), and radiation. |
Gabriel Cousens
See book keywords and concepts |  Cadmium sources include tap water, fungicides, marijuana, processed meat, rubber, seafood (cod, haddock, oyster, tuna), sewage, tobacco, colas (especially from vending machines), tools, welding material, evaporated milk, airborne industrial contaminants, batteries, instant coffee, incineration of tires/rubber/plastic, refined grains, soft water, galvanized pipes, dental alloys, candy, ceramics, electroplating, fertilizers, paints, motor oil, and motor exhaust. |
Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey
See book keywords and concepts |  This Star, then, is energetically connected to a wide range of detrimental effects from a variety of environmental toxins, including but not limited to those commonly found in dyes, car exhaust, fungicides, some pesticides, and the like. Specific compounds it bioenergetically correlates to include PCPs and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), vinyl acetates and chlorides, dioxins, methyl mercury and methyl tin, and nitrates. It also may address field damage caused by chronic exposure to artificially created electromagnetic fields (e-smog). | | This field can be weakened by many things but is especially compromised by environmental toxins such as fungicides, insecticides, and agricultural chemicals.
As your largest organ, your skin performs myriad functions, among them maintaining fluid balance in your body, helping with thermoregulation, maintaining mineral balance, protecting you from ionizing radiation, and aiding in detoxification. Of course, it is also your body's first line of defense, providing a protective barrier between your body and the outside world. | | Other things that have a particularly adverse bioenergetic effect on this field are fungicides, electromagnetic radiation, heavy metals (especially arsenic, lead, antimony, and cadmium), and the hepatitis A and B vaccines.
The Kidney Driver field (Energetic Driver 12) is tightly correlated to the Stomach Driver field, so if it turns out to be a challenge to correct the Stomach Driver field, you can sometimes "go around to the back door" and work with the Kidney Driver field. Correcting the Kidney Driver field or even the Pancreas Driver field may sometimes "kick start" the Stomach Driver. |
Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith
See book keywords and concepts |  Chemicals that mimic the female hormone estrogen come from herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides that find their way to bodies of water. These then get incorporated into the biosystem that eventually becomes our water and food supplies. If these chemicals cause serious reproductive abnormalities and potential extinction in wildlife, what do they do to us?
In 2002, the first nationwide study of man-made chemicals and hormones in 139 streams revealed that 80 percent of streams tested were contaminated. |
Gabriel Cousens
See book keywords and concepts | | And if there is toxicity in their air, water, and/or food environment—such as chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, larvicides, fungicides, detergents, bleaches, toxic solvents—then these toxins accumulate in the animal. Dairy products contain five times as many pesticides as commercial fruits and vegetables. And flesh foods, such as fish or chicken, which are higher up on the food chain, contain fifteen times as many pesticide residues as commercial fruits and vegetables. |
Ray D. Strand
See book keywords and concepts |  Herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides are used in the production of most of our foods. Medical research has shown us that all of these chemicals create increased oxidative stress when we consume them. Some are more dangerous than others, but they all have potential health risks. These chemicals have allowed our food industry to produce the most abundant food supply ever known. But what is the cost to our health?
Ultraviolet Sunlight
It is a known fact that people get two-thirds of their lifetime sun exposure to their skin prior to their twentieth birthday. |
Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith
See book keywords and concepts | | Cadmium: Cigarettes, batteries, automobile exhaust, pink dyes used in dentures, welding fumes, ceramic glazes, many art supplies, Teflon, fungicides, plastic
?Copper: Some cooking utensils and plumbing, gold dental fillings and crowns, insecticides
?Aluminum: Some drugs (including antacids), most baking powders, some cooking utensils, antiperspirants, cosmetics, foil, acid rain
?Arsenic: Pesticides, smog, tobacco smoke, a by-product of metal ore smelting and coal-fired power plants, wood preservatives in lumber and playgrounds, green pigment used in toys, curtains, carpets, colored chalk
? | | In the presence of antiandrogens, which are found in commonly used fungicides for agriculture, a developing fetus will generate gene mutations that then change the genital organs. If the fetus is male, he could be born with both male and female characteristics; a female may look nearly normal but have undescended testes. People with this disorder, called androgen insensitivity syndrome, may struggle for years with their sexual identity. Many opt for surgery to help physically clarify whether they are male or female.
Thyroid disorders can also initiate a bevy of health problems. |

Additional Pet Food Ingredients
In addition to the main sources of ingredients used in commercial pet foods there are other ingredients that can be added, according to AAFCO.
Beet pulp: The dried residue from sugar beet, added for fiber, but primarily sugar. |
Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith
See book keywords and concepts | | Agricultural toxins like pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, as well as synthetic chemical additives (including hormones and antibiotics) that change our foods at the source—on the farm in soils and animals—continue to be a major concern, so much so that organic foods are quickly becoming mainstream across America in most regular grocery stores now that we are demanding higher-quality products. I just hope that federal regulators continue to keep the standards high when it comes to the term organic. | | At the center of the thyroid's activity is thyroid stimulating hormone, which can be disrupted by fungicides and other chemicals such as perchlorate, which we saw earlier finds its way into our food and water supplies. This commonly found chemical greatly increases a woman's risk of hypothyroidism and can disrupt the thyroid's ability to absorb iodine.
Diabetes belongs under the umbrella of the endocrine system because it occurs when the body can no longer produce or use normally the pancreatic hormone insulin. | | These will be free of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides but equally as effective as those that do contain these toxins. They often use ingredients such as diatomaceous earth (made from calcareous fossils) herbs, and oils, such as orange oil or mint oil, that are natural insect repellents. Natural pest control services are also available if you have a large garden to control and you don't want to do this yourself. If you have a gardener, speak with him or her about alternatives to commercial products loaded with toxins or find a new gardener who uses nontoxic products. |
KC Craichy
See book keywords and concepts |  There is an abundance of medical literature referring to the health hazards of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and chemical fertilizers (see Golden Key #6—Environmental Hazards). There has been a huge increase in demand for organic foods over the last five years, which will continue. If you are on a budget and cannot afford organic foods, consider growing your own organic garden or joining a co-op. If space is limited, growing sprouts or vegetables in planters may be an option. | | According to the EPA, 60 percent of herbicides, 90 percent of fungicides, and 30 percent of insecticides are known to be carcinogenic. Pesticide residues have been detected in 50 to 90 percent of U.S. foods, increasing our risk for cancer, Parkinson's disease, miscarriage, birth defects, nerve damage, and more.5
The FDA, USDA, the World Health Organization, and the USEPA all assert that our food supply is the safest in the world. No need to worry, right? Wrong! Consider reading Lynn Lawson's research in her book Staying Well in a Toxic World. |
Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton
See book keywords and concepts |  As they are added to foods after harvesting, in the form of fungicides, they tend to be present in relatively large quantities in a wide range of foods including potatoes, citrus fruits, peanuts, and tomatoes. Their health risk to the average person on a nonorganic diet is moderate to high.
Solvents
These synthetically manufactured chemicals are widely used in a range of products, including many volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. | | Unfortunately, despite being contaminated by a host of chemicals such as fungicides (carbamates), insecticides (organophosphates), and antibiotics, none of the chemicals used in the growing of foods are listed on the food's label when you buy it in the store. So you simply cannot tell what chemical is likely to be on your strawberry or apple or in your steak. The best way to avoid pesticides in your foods is to buy organic produce and meat so that you can be sure that no toxic artificial chemicals were used in their production. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  By the way, I don't mean to leave out all those chemical companies manufacturing pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, toxic household cleaners and toxic personal care products. A lot of those skincare companies are really just chemical manufacturers with sexy marketing and lots of women in lab coats selling you products that actually harm your health; that literally contain ingredients that cause cancer and liver disease. People think our economy is booming, but we're all dying of chronic disease. Why is it that 50 percent of our senior citizens in the United States have high blood pressure? |
Henry Hobhouse
See book keywords and concepts |  This has happened with weedkillers, antibiotics, insecticides, and fungicides, all of which have tended to encourage the development of mutant forms on which their usually lethal action has no effect. In the story of malaria, real quinine has never seemed to behave in this way.
The latest thinking on antimalarial therapy brings us full circle back to the seventeenth century. Negroes suffer from a type of anemia known as the sickle-cell condition, which prevents them from having malaria although they may act as carriers. |
Amarjit S. Basra
See book keywords and concepts |  Explants can be collected from field-grown or greenhouse-grown plants, the latter being of advantage because of the controlled environment with the possibility of specific application of fertilizer and/or fungicides, for example. Depending on the specific project, seeds may be used, too. All of these materials are usually contaminated by various microorganisms, thus making a surface sterilization necessary. |
Alex Steffen
See book keywords and concepts |  Maybe that was true a few centuries ago, but today breast milk usually contains a whole host of toxins, including contaminants found in things like paint thinner, fungicides, and gasoline. The chemicals of industrial production that lurk everywhere make their way into our babies' bodies with every gulp.
Fear tactics aren't necessarily the best motivation for change, but the ingredients in common household cleaners are downright frightening. |
by Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | An alternative measure is to remove surface pesticide residues, waxes, fungicides, and fertilizers by soaking the item in a mild solution of additive-free soap, such as Ivory or pure castile soap. All-natural, biodegradable cleansers are also available at most health food stores. To use, spray the food with the cleanser, gently scrub, and rinse.
For information on the pesticide content of popular fruit and vegetables, see Appendix C, pages 783-86.
