 What makes matters worse is that those attempting to avoid responsibility can point to the fact that the stuff travels so effectively via wind and sea that even if they did clean up their act it might not make much difference unless every company on the planet followed suit—mercury and other toxic metals like cadmium and industrial pollutants like PCBs have been found as far away from their original industrial sources as the waters of the Arctic Ocean. In Greenland, for goodness' sake, 16 percent of the population's blood mercury levels exceed the levels that could have toxic effects on people. |

 Now on the market worldwide, these appliances vary in size to cover a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Heavy industrial air purifiers can protect workers from the damaging effects of harmful chemicals, whilst other models purify the air in offices, classrooms, surgeries and hospital wards. Some purifiers also allow an air ioniser to be built in.
Air purifiers not only provide clean fresh air but also have therapeutic benefits for people affected by asthma, sinus, hay fever or respiratory disorders. |
| Before the industrial Revolution pollution was virtually unknown except for the natural phenomena of volcanic eruptions, swamps emitting methane gas, sulphur springs or fires. Industrialisation has exposed us to an enormous amount of man-made irritants. The human body is now forced to cope with constant health hazards in the form of water and air pollution, noise, stress, radiation and dangerous chemicals, forced upon us from factories, power stations, agriculture, mines and waste disposal. |

 How about the use of force by the DEA to destroy industrial hemp farms in the United States? This lucrative crop is grown legally in Canada and used to make hemp clothes, hemp rope, hemp seeds (which are rich in omega-3 oils) and all sorts of goods that we import from Canada, but here in the U.S., the growing of this industrial crop is condemned, disrupted and aggressively attacked by a government group that, at times, acts like a group of terrorists: The Drug Enforcement Agency.
What are they doing that qualifies them as terrorists? |

 TFA have two main origins: ruminant animals and industrial production. The ruminant-produced TFA vaccenic acid (CI8:1 Al It) is a precursor to conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Because of the substantive evidence base, industrially produced TFA and their effects on CVD risk will be emphasized. The DRI report recommended that TFA intake be kept as low as possible as any increase in TFA intake will negatively impact CVD risk [12]. NCEP ATP III also recommends that TFA consumption be kept as low as possible while the AHA recommends that TFA intake be kept at 1% of energy or below [63]. |

 Developmental Neurotoxicity of industrial Chemicals. Grandjean, P; Landrigan, PJ. The Lancet, 2006, 368:2167-2178
Autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders may be caused by exposure to industrial chemicals such as lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic and toluene. An additional 200 chemicals are known to have adverse neurological effects in adults. The authors state that new approaches for testing and control of chemicals that take into account the developing brain are needed. |

| Consider using organic grass-fed beef rather than industrial beef in order to minimize your exposure to animal by-products through livestock feed. In most supermarkets the beef is usually industrial beef. Most industrial cattle have gone through calf feeding, background feeding, and feedlots where possible use of animal byproducts could occur.
• Purchase beef from smaller USDA-inspected processing operations, where cattle are individually processed at a rate slow enough to allow the inspector to observe the cow prior to and during processing. |

 Ibsen understood this contradiction in An Enemy of the People, his play describing the ostracism of a medical doctor after he threatens the local tourist-based economy by revealing pollution of the town's bathing spring and seashore by industrial tannery waste.2 Arguably, similar forces also were at play, acting in a way that we ended up with an illness named Legionnaire's disease rather than Bellevue-Stratford Hotel pneumonia.3
As I began to explore further the backgrounds of different and seemingly unrelated occupational and environmental case studies, another common thread began to emerge. |

 Archives Surgery 139: 954-58, 2004] While there is concern expressed over known carcinogens, such as pesticides, industrial chemicals, etc, excessive weight is a far greater factor in breast cancer incidence and mortality. Women with pear-shaped figures, excessive body hair, or oily skin, are at greater risk for breast cancer. All these factors -weight, body hair and oily skin —are tied in with increased estrogen in breast tissue. [American Journal Clinical Nutrition 45: 283-89, 1987]
However, breast density appears to be more of a factor in determining risk, than is weight. |

 It can also be weakened by stress, emotional or physical shocks, and particular pollutants, especially 4-phenylcyclohexene (from carpet backing and carpet off-gassing), dioxane (an industrial solvent), and the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination.
ENERGETIC DRIVER 7: LUNG DRIVER
The Lung Driver field, as the name implies, is concerned with the pulmonary system. However, this bioenergetic field is generated not only by the actual oxygenation function of your lungs but also by the vibrations, phonons, and pressure waves that result from the expansion and contraction actions of your lungs. |

 Also called xenoestrogens, these chemicals are widespread and ever more present in our environment; some of the most common are pesticides (such as DDT, PCBs, and dioxins) and industrial by-products. According to some researchers, environmental estrogens may contribute to testicular cancer, urinary tract disorders, and low sperm count. In men, a high level of estrogen slows down the production of testosterone.19 Exposure to lead, mercury, cadmium, and other heavy metals also inhibits testosterone production.20
Men's hormone levels can be adversely affected by certain lifestyle choices. |
| Many different types of synthetic chemicals can have estrogenic effects, particularly herbicides, pesticides, and industrial by-products from the manufacture of plastics and paper, as well as from the incineration of hazardous wastes.
Each year an estimated 2,000 new synthetic chemicals enter the world market, swelling the planetary total to well over 100,000. All of these are completely foreign and potentially harmful to the function of the digestive system and endocrine glands. |
| Unavoidably, many of us carry around an internal chemical cocktail of toxins we've absorbed: industrial by-products (coal tar or fuel exhaust), pesticides, herbicides, household contaminants (found in cleaners, paints, plastics, and solvents), and biological contaminants (pollens, molds, dust mites, and parasites). We are also exposed to toxins from processed or genetically altered foods, alcohol, tap water (which usually contains heavy metals), and even newspapers (from the inks used in printing). |

 In the wild, we are now finding that animals, birds, and fish exposed to pesticides and industrial chemicals are having difficulty producing healthy offspring. They are developing shrunken male sex organs, and many are developing both testes and ovaries. These sexual organ changes are leading to behavioral changes, reproductive loss, and early mortality in offspring.
Oxygen deficiency, air and chemical pollution, and denatured foods place great stresses on our organs and cells. Our bodies are being forced to cope with pollution and inferior nutrition as never before. |
| In their report on the Third International Soy Symposium, regarding the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, held April-May 2000, Sally Fallon and Mary Enig state:
All food additives not in common use prior to 1958, including casein protein from milk, must have gras (Generally Recognized As Safe) status____To this day, use of soy protein is codified as gras only for limited industrial use as a cardboard binder. However, the soy industry public relations campaign has been a huge success. "The competition? |
| Production takes place in industrial factories where a slurry of soy beans is first mixed with an alkaline solution to remove fiber, then precipitated and separated using an acid wash and finally neutralized in an alkaline solution. Acid washing in aluminum tanks leaches high levels of aluminum into the final product. The resultant curds are spray dried at high temperatures to produce a high protein powder. A final indignity to the original soybean is high-temperature, high-pressure extrusion processing of soy protein isolate to produce textured vegetable protein (tvp). ... |
| Evidence and research findings regarding these poisons are now beginning to be made public in spite of industrial and medical attempts to ignore, cover-up, or refuse to look at the facts. Our job is to become informed so that we can protect our own health and the health of our loved ones, our friends, and others. We can be part of the small but growing number of people who question, make informed decisions, and demand change.

 It has been hard to document the burden on public health from leftover industrial garbage. Few researchers have tried to do so. National resources devoted to the problem, while never flush, have fallen to an all-time low. Like much of the effort to evaluate environmental risks to public health, the absence of a robust infrastructure to examine these matters is not accidental. Lots of people have an interest in seeing that the harms tied with environmental wastes remain understudied and underrecognized. Calls for studies by experts often amount to a way to buy time and keep things as they are. |

| While the development of a hemp industry is severely restricted in the United States, today industrial hemp is cultivated in many countries, among them Canada, China, Russia, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, England, and Poland.
"So what are the benefits of hemp?" you may ask.
Hemp Seed
When we speak of hemp as a food source, we are referring to its seed. Technically, hemp seed is a fruit, because, unlike a nut or most seeds, it contains no enzyme inhibitors. It can be eaten immediately and is readily digestible. Hemp seed is a nutritional powerhouse. |

Iron and colon cancer
The colon is an iron-rich tissue.
- The majority of patients with a new diagnosis of colorectal cancer are iron deficient at presentation. [Colorectal Diseases 7: 398-402, 2005] This is because the tumor is taking all the dietary iron before it can reach the bone marrow to produce new red blood cells.
Adults with high blood iron storage levels (plasma ferritin levels greater than 289 meg/ liter) have a 1. |

 Everyone involved in athletics need to be acutely aware that the medical industrial complex is not going to act in the best interests of athletes. Many are becoming more conscious about how good ideas and sound natural medicine are being professionally suppressed by intricate campaigns of discreditation, spun by the vested interests of corporate science and backed by the pharmaceutical industry and even the government which is in bed with the drug companies. |

| The magnesium oil is considerably less toxic in terms of heavy metals than industrial fabricated magnesium chloride and is considerably more concentrated. There is approximately twice as much elemental magnesium as in magnesium oils that are created from magnesium chloride powder or crystal. Ocean-derived magnesium oil is between 31 to 35% magnesium chloride by weight.
A product that I have used personally that combines high dosage oral magnesium with natural detoxification and chelation is Chelorex? Chelorex is safe and effective approach to heavy (toxic) metal chelation. |

| Environmental pollution has brought about an alarming increase in respiratory diseases and this alone may well be the major cause of today's high incidence of asthma, particularly in industrial areas.
Although not attacked with such a vengeance, non-urban areas are not without hazards, with air and water pollution from agricultural pesticides and burn-offs. Most people with asthma will recognise car exhaust fumes as a trigger, but it is not generally recognised that aircraft burn enormous amounts of fuel, and their exhaust is spread throughout the atmosphere. |
| Pollutants from fertilisers, pesticides, detergent washing powders and industrial wastes foul rivers, lakes, reservoirs and our domestic water. Then chemicals such as chlorine, fluoride and aluminium are added to our water supplies to complete the health-destroying cocktail.
Fruit and vegetables are grown with artificial fertilisers and sprayed with chemicals. Animals are treated with artificial hormones to increase their weight, with antibiotics to prevent disease and are reared on crops sprayed with chemicals. |

 So too did events which cast doctors, scientists, and indeed science itself in a morally dubious light: for instance, the active participation of medical scientists in Nazi atrocities, the Tuskegee syphilis experiment (which ran from 1932 to 1972 and left hundreds of African American men and their families suffering from untreated syphilis long after a cure was available), and forced eugenic sterilizations; the role of physics in creating the atom bomb; and of industrial science in pollution and environmental degradation. |

| These include hospital employees, industrial plant workers, and security personnel. As our society demands more around-the-clock services, businesses such as financial institutions, photocopy shops, supermarkets, and communications companies have also established around-the-clock shifts. Sleep researchers, ironically, also are among this population. While nonstop work increases productivity and provides convenience for the rest of us, shift work is a burden for circadian rhythms. |

| Over time, I have come to understand that the pivotal difference between industrial injuries or illnesses and environmental contamination episodes on the one hand and most other medical problems on the other hand is that a human perpetrator usually is not involved in the latter. It is one thing to isolate a deadly microbe but quite another to identify, by name, a life-threatening place of employment or clearly pinpoint a hazardous environmental epicenter. |
