 If you think you are saving the planet just by recycling the containers, you're kidding yourself. You are not saving anything. You are just making yourself feel better while you continue to poison the planet. If you really want to save the planet, stop buying and consuming toxic chemicals. Put the chemical companies out of business by refusing to buy their products.
I know this is not a popular view of recycling. But I am not here to be popular, I'm here to get you to think about what's really going on, and to recognize your role in it. |

 If you ever meet with anyone working at a pharmaceutical company, just mention these two words if you really want to watch the hairs on their neck stand up: Drug recycling.
That’s right folks, it is a drug-recycling program so that perfectly good medications that one person is not using can be recycled and redirected for the use of another individual who needs the same drugs. Drug recycling is quite easy to accomplish online and it is something that strikes fair into the hearts of the pharmaceutical companies. |

| They are putting toxic products in their cars, on their hair and into their mouths and bodies. recycling is then presented as a solution to make these people feel good even as they are destroying the environment with every single product they consume.
Purchasing choices are far more important than recycling
You know what's really important in protecting the environment? Buying eco-friendly products in the first place.
When you live a healthy lifestyle, a lifestyle that truly prioritizes respect for the planet, you don't end up with a lot of excess packaging to recycle in the first place. |
| If it were about saving the planet, people wouldn't buy these products in the first place. recycling is a system for eliminating consumer guilt. It is designed to give everyday consumers a token measure that they can feel good about.
Recycling lets them believe they are saving the planet while they are flushing all these chemicals down the drain and spreading them on their lawns and gardens. They are putting toxic products in their cars, on their hair and into their mouths and bodies. |

Drug recycling is quite easy to accomplish online and it is something that strikes fair into the hearts of the pharmaceutical companies. The last thing they want is people getting together privately and swapping unused prescription drugs. Perhaps they'll pressure Congress to pass a law that says, "it is illegal to sell prescription drugs to a private individual. |

 As much as we have people talking about recycling in this country, and all these recycling efforts and recycling programs, nobody is talking about recycling this oil, except a few smart companies that will reclaim used oil. They'll actually buy it from filling stations or landfills that collect oil. They'll cart it off, and guess what these companies do with this oil? They run it through a very fine filter. They clean the oil and resell it back to industrial users. It's recycled oil, and it's nearly as good as the new stuff. |

| If you stop poisoning the environment with common products for the home, kitchen, laundry, lawn and garage, you'll do far more good than recycling a few plastic bottles.
And then you'll actually have a real reason to feel good about your role as an environmentally-responsible consumer. |
| They're recycling soft drink cans loaded with either high-fructose corn syrup -- the sweetener that promotes obesity and mental disorders in children -- or artificial chemical sweeteners that cause cancer and neurological malfunction.
I've seen people recycle prescription drug boxes and over-the-counter drug boxes. I've seen them recycle cans of household chemical cleaning products and personal care products made with all sorts of cancer-causing chemicals. |
| I know this is not a popular view of recycling. But I am not here to be popular, I'm here to get you to think about what's really going on, and to recognize your role in it. I was once a consumer of numerous toxic products, but I recognized the error, adjusted my consumption patterns, and now I practice genuine environmental responsibility (and I still recycle, too). I urge you to do the same. |

 Department of Justice and the EPA documented that "Encycle's own business records provide compelling evidence of sham recycling. Numerous hazardous wastes with little or no recoverable metal value were mixed into Encycle alleged 'products!"The government memo detailing sham recycling, released to the Sunland Park Environmental Group in July 2006, can be found on this book's web site.

 As far as your genetic program is concerned, why send out recycling trucks to pick up fat, if you're giving instructions to your liver to manufacture and store it for the winter?
On the other hand, when you activate the "Winter Is Now" program, your liver assumes it is winter, stops manufacturing fat-transporting LDL, and ramps up production of the HDL recycling trucks to move fat out of storage. |

 Inappropriate breakdown of estrogen can result in local liver damage, continual recycling of estrogens, and alterations in immune function. Since the liver is involved in breaking down 80 to 90 percent of the hormones in the body, it follows that optimal liver function can be of benefit in treatment.
The large intestine, which contains different types of microflora or gut organisms, has a unique role in the excretion and recycling of estrogen. The liver inactivates estrogen by attaching a bond between glucuronic acid and the estrogen molecule and excreting this substance with the bile. |

| Likewise, think of HDL as a fat recycling truck that circulates through the body and arteries, picking up fat and carrying it back to the liver for reprocessing. My research demonstrates that when you activate the "Store Fat for Winter" program, your liver manufactures primarily LDL and cuts back on its production of HDL.3 As far as your genetic program is concerned, why send out recycling trucks to pick up fat, if you're giving instructions to your liver to manufacture and store it for the winter? |

 Take-back centers include pharmacies, police stations, and recycling centers. An early pilot program in Maine was considered a success: "This one-day event prevented more than 55,000 pills from making their way into our waters and helped educate consumers about the importance for proper disposal of medical waste," said Lynn Rubinstein, executive director of the Northeast recycling Council, "We are hopeful that the success of this pilot will pave the way for similar projects in the future. |

 Suddenly, hundreds of firms discovered that they had to come up with new materials inside their machines—which they, and not some distant dump in China or Nigeria, would have to process safely, recycling what they could. The result has been the creation of "take-back" stations in retail outlets across Europe —including office-supply stores selling Epsons — where e-waste is collected and processed in an environmentally sound manner. |
| California, Maryland, Maine, and Washington have instituted their own "take-back" programs, assessing a fee on the manufacturers of computers to finance their eventual recycling. These were passed into law over industry objections. Barbara Kyle, coordinator for the Computer TakeBack Campaign in San Jose, in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, commented: "Industries will work with governments on [electronic] waste in one country in Europe and then turn their back and do something completely different in another. |
| In Europe or Japan they'll concede that recycling helps improve product designs, but in the United States they'll say it has no positive effects on design. It's a real double standard."12
The EU's follow-up effort on e-waste—took on what's actually inside all those electronic devices to begin with. |
| They are all various versions of green circles with arrows, suggesting environmental cleanliness and recyclability; all indicate compliance with one or another of the European, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Taiwanese toxic-substance or recycling restrictions. There is no American equivalent.
"If you are not RoHS compliant," comments Rick Goss, environmental policy director for the Electronic Industries Alliance, "your market is evaporating as we speak."21 The Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA), based in Washington, D.C. |
| I have not seen anything in the United States like the recycling we're doing here in the UK or in Europe," commented David Hutton, who oversees U.S. automobile regulations for InterReg, Ltd., a British firm that provides regulatory-status reports from around the world to the automobile and other industries.27
Martha Bucknell, executive director of the Auto Dismantlers Association in California, said that she had never heard of GADSL, and had seen no changes in the content of automobiles that her membership uses to rebuild old cars or sell for scrap. |

 Other essential functions of the liver include breaking down old, worn-out cells; recycling proteins and iron; and storing vitamins and nutrients. Gallstones are a hazard to all these vital tasks.
In addition to breaking down alcohol in the blood, the liver also detoxifies noxious substances, bacteria, parasites, and certain components of pharmaceutical drugs. It uses specific enzymes to convert waste or poisons into substances that can be safely removed from the body. In addition, the liver filters more than one quart of blood each minute. |

 Coenzyme Q10 and L-carnitine are fundamental to the recycling of cellular energy as it is being utilized by the cell. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is consumed, recycled, and used again in a continuing cycle requiring fuel and oxygen. Coenzyme Qio and L-carnitine facilitate this process of energy turnover in the cell's mitochondria. Through an entirely different process and approach, D-ribose synthesizes energy substrates, keeping the cellular energy pool fully charged. |

 Then there's the case of Dick Dubois, a chronic marathoner and president of a container recycling facility in New York State. In the fall of 2004, Dick began to experience occasional tightness in his chest during his training runs. A stress test showed nothing abnormal, and he continued running. But the pain worsened, and by February 2005, an echo stress test suggested a partial blockage of the right coronary artery. His doctors prescribed cholesterol-reducing medication, aspirin, and a beta-blocker. But the pain persisted. He began walking, instead of running. |

 There were roads, multistory homes (jokingly called America's first condominiums by today's residents), passive solar heating and cooling, and a system of recycling that left virtually no waste from the entire population.
The early pueblo people practiced a powerful spirituality that allowed them to live in balance with the land for more than a millennium. All of that changed quickly, however, after the explorers came on the scene. "We already had a religion," our guide explained, "but it wasn't what the Spanish were looking for. It wasn't Christianity. |

 Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine examines the pathogenic microorganism Candida and how its presence in the body pushes the recycling button or "composting button" as the Candida functions to recycle the organism it inhabits back to the soil. In essence, Candida accelerates the rate of fermentation of the system. At the turn of the nineteenth century, Candida yeast was primarily seen in people who were dying of cancer and other very serious diseases, as fungation is the seventh stage of disease (we will discuss the Seven Stages of Disease in Chapter 3). |

| Coenzyme Q10 resides inside the mitochondria and is a key constituent of the electron transport chain of energy recycling.
"exchanged" across the mitochondrial membrane, with ATP moving out and ADP moving in. An enzyme called ATP-ADP translocase moves ATP and ADP across the mitochondrial membrane, keeping energy (ATP) flowing to the cell and energy substrate (ADP) flowing to the mitochondria. This process supplies the vital energy supplies needed to sustain life. |
