 Our Health is directly effected
by our environment and vise versa. EnviroHealth terms our relationship
with our world and each other. We expose
ourselves and our children to pesticides
and other toxic
substances just by living, via air, water, food, clothing,
the soil, although often it's because many people are simply not aware of, what
is a pesticide or a
toxic substance. Many pesticides
are toxic
substances which are poison and can cause injury and illness, some can
cause permanent damage, such as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity,
birth defects and cancer. There are no antidotes, the knowledge of the medical community
is very limited. The only thing that can be done is to learn about and avoid toxic
exposures which is not always possible so then one must detoxify
as much as possible for optimal health.
100 years ago, our environmental and health issues were biological. To deal with those issues industry developed toxic chemicals, which altered our biology, genetics, ecosystems, thus causing our current environmental and health issues to be chemical. Many of these synthetic chemicals are permanent. Our ability to decontaminate our environment and detoxify our bodies is currently unknown. One of our greatest health issues plaguing humanity is allergies which is on the minute end of the scale with cancer the second major epidemic on the greater end of this scale, while possibly all other health issues fit somewhere in between on this same scale. It is my observation that to avoid cancer one must avoid carcinogens. The same is true for allergy sufferers. However, in our global environment where we all share the same air, the same water and the same earth, it is impossible to avoid carcinogens and allergens because our air, water and earth is vastly polluted with them and continues to be so at an enormously increasing rate due to industry, commerce, our government and us. It is up to us, Commerce and our Government to work together globally including all countries and communities to develop guidelines, policy, that promotes sustainable development, peaceful relations and a healthy planet to see that future generations can exist. People are developing food and chemical allergies epidemically. |
