| UPDATE [october 7, 2005] Yesterday it was reported that a first time survey undertaken by the Eastern Union has found that a total of 73 man-made toxins have been found in the blood of grandmothers, mothers and children. Children are absorbing dangerous chemicals into their blood from computers, cosmetics, textiles and electrical appliances. “It shows that we are all unwittingly the subjects of an uncontrolled global experiment, and it is especially shocking to find that toxic chemicals in daily use are contaminating the blood of our children.” It is no longer the malnutrition of poverty which alone threatens mankind. It is not just lead and mercury that we need be concerned about. The above article is but the tip of the iceberg of what has been long known. As humans, we absorb toxic compounds which end up in our bloodstreams on an ongoing basis, without even realising it. Toxification began with the Industrial Age. 'Chemicals of combat' released in both World Wars not only affected the soldiers themselves but also their later offspring. Just recently it was revealed in Canada that a surge of disability claims have been filed as a result of chemical testing released throughout the country in the post war years [especially AGENT ORANGE]. This will definitely not be the last we hear of such claims. Mass quantities of toxic agricultural agents were also widely used after the War, and many such toxins still sit in old garden sheds of our elders. Now the age of technology has also unleashed additional poisons and toxins into our environment as indicated in the above news article. The simple truth is that health problems in the western world have less to do with lifestyle choices, and more to do with the intentional use of toxins which have been released into our environment for well over a hundred years. Children these days are not the first to be exposed to toxins on an ongoing basis. Only now though are the facts finally coming to light. It is now known that many chronic illnesses, including cancer and auto-immunity disorders, can be attributed to chronic exposure to an increasingly unhealthy environment. Erin Brokovich managed to expose a major industrial scam which threatened the health of many people in one small area. Unfortunately this was not an isolated incident.....it goes on all the time, all around us. Read more about environmental toxins through the links included herein |
