Sound granola-ish? Maybe. But if that's one extreme approach to healing and the other end of the spectrum is heavy medication for symptoms, maybe we could look for something that's a little more of a compromise. Maybe we could begin to take advantage of the body's own miraculous ability to repair and heal by giving it natural substances that support it in that journey. |

Contact your doctor if an isolated episode of wheezing occurs, or if the skin takes on a blue tone during an attack. Also seek medical attention if wheezing becomes a recurrent, unexplained problem, or if it is caused by an allergic reaction to a bite or medication. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Particles from the polluted air that are too small to be filtered out by the cilia travel deep into the lungs. Though the immune system responds to those foreign particles, those particles do a number on immune function, allowing infections to occur and asthma to develop.
One of the reasons we know this happens: Due to a labor dispute, the single largest pollution source in a Utah valley, an old integrated steel mill, operated intermittently. When the mill was operating, pollutants contributed to increased asthma and other severe respiratory problems, and increased deaths. |

My dear friend Deborah Axelrod is one of New York's top breast cancer surgeons. For years, we've been plowing through inconsistent studies on environment and cancer, frustrated by the limited efforts to understand the many connections. We know that benzene is one of more than two hundred different chemicals studied that causes mammary tumors in male rodents. | | Those who grow up playing hard in polluted air, like Li Dou, who was a basketball star in China, develop lungs that are especially strong and also stippled with soot. Air goes in and out all the time. The smallest of particles enter and stay. Lungs that grow up dirty tend to blacken over time. Even though any single breath may take in less than a part per billion of a given pollutant—like one drop of water in an Olympic swimming pool—over a lifetime, things add up.
Healthy lungs look like spongy, pink-tinged treetops and are made up of more than 50,000 sections. |

See article keywords and concepts |  It seems perfectly reasonable to try and be more cost effective by going with a cheaper unit, but you should be warned that what you mostly get from these lower priced systems is a product that merely recycles polluted air back into your living space. And for a lot of low-cost units, the motors wear out in less than a year. (I know, I've worn out several.)
Do your research carefully before buying any air purifier. If your goal is to truly clean the air in your home or office, the IQAir machine is one that definitely gets the job done. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Five months after Jan's ordeal, three EPA researchers would publish a study on how twenty-four hours of breathing such densely polluted air particles can lead to dramatic, negative changes in our blood, including shifts in clotting factor. Eighteen months later, work would be published directly linking fatal blood clots with exposure to the airborne particulate matter in forest fires. |

"Fluoridation ... is the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated and it has been perpetrated on more people than any other fraud has," said Professor Albert Schatz, Ph.D. (Microbiology), discoverer of streptomycin and Nobel Prize winner. Fortunately, 98 percent of Western Europe has rejected water fluoridation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It has some of the worst traffic problems in the United States, resulting in long commute times and some of the nation's most polluted air. But less than a decade ago, a local developer started turning what might have been a permanently blighted no-go zone—the contaminated site of a shuttered steel mill —into a model of transit-oriented development. The result? Atlantic Station, a 138-acre (56-hectare) "live-work-play" community that is both sustainable and attractive. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Over long periods, exposure to some of the chemicals and particulates found in polluted air can cause the cancer, birth defects, brain and nerve damage, and injury to the lungs and breathing passages. Dust and particulates from smokestacks, and especially from diesel exhaust, are suspected of increasing the number of deaths from heart attacks by affecting the heart's ability to maintain its rhythm. The very young and the very old suffer the most from the effects of air pollution, but the duration of the exposure and the concentration of the chemical pollutants are important. |

See book keywords and concepts | | So if you get a runny nose after breathing in polluted air, this is a wonderful opportunity to take seriously and tackle your chemical exposure before your symptoms progress to something more serious.
The types of chemicals linked to hayfever, which are similar to those linked to asthma, can be found on page 125. You don't have to be exposed to these chemicals in the air to be affected as they can be found in foods, drinks, and skin-care products, as well as other substances such as dental amalgam and glues. How they enter your body does not impact the damage they can do. | | Solvents in carpets, fiberboard, chipboard, paints, air fresheners, finishes, cleaning solutions, office corrective fluids, cosmetics, polluted air, and glues.

Pest-Control Products
Virtually every kitchen has a "killing corner," a cupboard or shelf that is filled to the brim with all kinds of fly and roach sprays, insect repellents, flea powders and shampoos, and a battery of other deadly synthetic chemicals. | | Chemicals and Autism
The prevailing view is that autism is caused by a genetic predisposition together with a series of early environmental shocks to the developing nervous system, mainly from toxic chemicals such as those found in contaminated foods, polluted water, and polluted air. |

Eating Food Naturally
Food tastes better when you eat it naturally. The taste is altered when utensils are used. Have you ever eaten juicy, ripe, organic watermelon without a knife, just with your hands? One time my cousin and I decided to eat a ripe organic watermelon (I had grown in my backyard) without using a knife. |

Environmental Hazards
Without becoming paranoid or obsessive about environmental hazards, the reality is that we all face them every day and in almost countless ways. polluted air, contaminants in the water, food additives and preservatives, and pesticides and herbicides are only a few issues on an increasingly extensive list. Gradually, over time we have been exposed to steadily increasing numbers of toxic poisons, which can compromise our immune system and lead to disease. |

See book keywords and concepts | | To top it off, they're subjected to chronic stress conditions like work stress, environmental stress (breathing polluted air, drinking polluted water), relationship stress, lack of sleep, lack of sunlight, and so on. This chronic stress actually accelerates the depletion of nutrients in the body, leaving people in a deeper state of nutritional deficiency.
Nearly all Americans operate on chronic nutritional deficiencies
So by the time you're done with all of that, the average American has only a fraction of the nutrition they actually need for optimum health. |

See book keywords and concepts |  For example, if the basement membranes become porous like those of a baby, and all foreign proteins such as those in polluted air pass into our system readily and cause sensitization reactions, our diet is not correct, no matter how pure it is. If we are not able to function adequately in our worldly roles, or are too reactive to the pollution, to experience the Love Communion with the Divine, then it is important to let go of our purity concepts and make the necessary dietary adjustments. |

See book keywords and concepts |  We shut our bodies away from fresh air, breathing polluted air. We drink chemically treated water and do not get as much physical exercise as early humans enjoyed. The American man today has a life expectancy of 78 years, whereas men before the great flood may have lived for as long as 900 years. We have lost our tropical paradise. Man today lives in his poisoned cities, drinks his poisoned water, breathes polluted air and eats food that is grown in toxic soils, sprayed with poisons and picked half-ripe. |

• Fetuses, infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and those who have a depressed immune system (for example, from cancer therapy), are the most likely to be adversely affected by pesticides and other toxic chemicals.85 It appears that chemicals can be found in pregnant women and their offspring. Women exposed to chemicals have more birth injured children than normal.8 (See Chapter 5.) One study, however, showed that the exposure of pregnant women to indoor pesticides was considerable and one study showed no effect. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Exposure to polluted air, toxic chemicals, radiation, ultraviolet rays, and tobacco smoke also results in the formation of free radicals. On the molecular level, free radicals are unstable; they each contain an unpaired electron that, in an effort to pair up and stabilize the substance, will bind to and "steal" electrons from other substances, including healthy cells. This damages cells and tissues and creates even more free radicals that may then attack other healthy cells. This results in oxidative damage to cells that can be compared to rust on a car. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Humans are breathing the same polluted air and drinking the same chemicals in their own water supply. We have no idea about the degree to which all of the above applies to humans, but in view of the seriousness of the changes, we surely need to find out. The following observations and studies in humans indicate definite reasons for immediate concern. | | We must ask how many attitude, behavior, learning and developmental problems in children and adults can be caused by:
• The polluted air we breathe.
• The contaminated water we drink.52
• The pesticide sprayed foods we eat.
The chemically contaminated places where we live, study, work and play.1"5'37
It has been reported that the thinking ability, behavior, activity and personality of a child seems to be determined by about 50% genetics and the other 50 % by environmental exposures. |
