See book keywords and concepts |  Environmental pollution may be one of the causes of this growing epidemic. Work exposure to flour or cotton dust, animal fur, smoke, and a wide variety of chemicals has been linked to increased risk of asthma.1
Findings from animal and human studies confirm that DTP (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis) and tetanus vaccinations can induce allergic (page 14) responses,2'3'4'5'6 and can increase the risk of allergies, including allergic asthma. | | Vitamin C and vitamin E (page 609) may prevent oxidative damage to the lung lipids by environmental pollution and cigarette smoke exposure. It has been suggested that amounts in excess of the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) are necessary to protect against the air pollution levels currently present in North America,14 although it is not known how much vitamin E is needed to produce that protective effect.
A review of 39 clinical trials of N-acetyl cysteine (page 542) (NAC) found that 400 to 600 mg per day was a safe and effective treatment for chronic bronchitis. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Unfortunately, the blood of centuries of war, religious persecution, and environmental pollution from our greed-based economic and corporate systems have disrupted the spiritual powers of water.
One of the ancient and mystical seventy-two names of God, VAV MEM BET, has the power to restore water to its original Divine state. The author's choice to release the power of this sacred name, which normally is only released to Essene and Kabbalistic students, is based on the world crises of spiritual and physical pollution. This is a powerful mantra used to rectify the water. | | By following the 40-percent-biogenic, 95-100-percent live-food diet, our body is able to purify at a rate equal to the internal metabolic toxin production and the environmental pollution exposure. One then begins to use the fasting to further enhance the superconductive Kundalini flow and transcendent transformation.
Supplementation
Supplements can be used to help correct deficiencies, to prevent deficiencies, and to act as an antioxidant protection against pollution. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Given the heavy implications of environmental pollution and toxins, it is easy to feel helpless and without recourse. The problem seems too enormous in scope for us to change anything. The magnitude of the problem may seem overwhelming, but it is not insurmountable. We all have the capacity to effect change on a personal and a local level. It may sound overly simple, but the first place to begin making these changes is in our own homes.
Read on to learn about the most dangerous "environmental culprits," and the types of damage they cause. |
Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The cause of these changes is not known; however, the most likely suspect is environmental pollution. Certain pesticides (such as DDT and dieldren), some plastics that are used in beverage containers and to wrap food, and various environmental chemicals are known to act as "hormone mimics"—i.e., compounds which either amplify or inhibit the action of the body's natutal reproductive hormones.3 Although some scientists dispute the significance of this "low-level" pollution, it seems that we are playing a big game of Russian roulette with our future. |
Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton
See book keywords and concepts |  Current levels of environmental pollution have resulted in us all being in the firing line. Those who actually go on to develop thyroid diseases probably do so from a combination of the following factors: an increased genetic susceptibility to thyroid disease; previous exposure to thyroid-damaging toxins; chemical exposure at a young age (the earlier the exposure, the greater the damage); and history of inadequate nutrition (those with a poor diet are more at risk from chemical damage). | | Chemicals in food originate from three main sources: pesticides and added chemicals, packaging and storage contamination, and environmental pollution. With the Seven-Day Desludge Diet, you will learn how to avoid these concentrated chemicals in your food and discover how to prepare and plan meals that will help you rid your system of these health damaging and often fattening toxins.
Pesticides and Added Chemicals
Conventional agriculture uses large amounts of pesticides, many of which are damaging to your health, to kill bugs and other pests and to stop food from spoiling. | | Environmental pollution levels tend to be highest in animal fat, particularly if the animal or fish is a predator (such as salmon or tuna). Because organochlorines are highly fat-soluble chemicals, they are extremely persistent and they accumulate up the food chain. So if, for example, a salmon eats a smaller fish that carries a load of toxins, these toxins will be added to those already carried by the salmon.
Preparation and Storage Tips for Nonorganic Foods
> Peel the skin off of fresh fruits and vegetables. | | As well as chlorine, water may be contaminated with other chemicals such as aluminum (deliberately added during processing), lead and plastics (from piping), and environmental pollution (pesticides in agricultural areas). A sink-top or whole-house water filter will significantly lower the levels of chemicals in tap water. Bottled water also tends to be less polluted than tap water, particularly if stored in glass.
Always filter or distill tap water before drinking it. If you use bottled water, buy it in a glass bottle in preference to a plastic one. | | How Chemicals Are Linked to MS

See book keywords and concepts |  It's not something most people think of as environmental pollution, but cow poop is a real problem when allowed to run into waterways and seep into the ground. But we don't have to let cow waste go to waste. If processed correctly, it can become a power source. That's just what Central Vermont Public Service (CVPS) has been doing with its Cow Power program, which promises to provide "renewable energy one cow at a time. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Since it is virtually impossible to escape environmental pollution, and stress may or may not be able to be reduced, the one ticket to health is resolving leptin resistance. Mastering leptin is the key to improving thyroid function, restoring metabolism, and being more able to withstand the stress factors in our lives and the environment.
Understanding that leptin resistance is the true cause of virtually all hypothyroid symptoms is a major advancement in our understanding of metabolism. |

See book keywords and concepts |  There is another, far more serious aspect of chemicals, namely environmental pollution. Part of the problem here is that soap powder is, this side of a blowtorch, one of the harshest environments to put fragrance in. As a result the fragrance materials that go into soap powder tend to be rugged fellows, which typically makes them tough enough to resist biodegra-dation. After all, even bacteria have to follow the laws of chemistry. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In children, poor academic performance, and some behavioral, emotional, and learning disabilities have also been linked to indoor environmental pollution.
The symptoms of environmental toxicity and environmental allergies can be very similar, but the mechanisms that cause them are different. Allergies result from an over-reaction by the immune system to some substance encountered in the environment. Environmental toxicity, on the other hand, is not a result of an immune system reaction, but a direct poisoning of tissues or cells, so that they can no longer function as they should. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Asthma specialists speculate that rising levels of environmental pollution also lead to higher incidences of asthma. Asthma epidemics related to atmospheric contamination— situations in which dust and chemical particles are abundant, especially in enclosed environments—are well known. Occupational exposure to certain substances, such as urethane and polyurethane, used in the adhesives and plastics industry, along with rubber epoxy resins from paint, textile cleaner's fumes, dry-cleaning chemicals, and others also may be major risk factors.

One of the most controversial biophysical and political implications of this thesis concerns how we raise and ingest meat. Animals are too often raised under stressful and abusive circumstances, and we ingest their cells into our bodies. Their molecules replace some of our molecules. Hence, we live with the info-energy of their pain and suffering. |

See book keywords and concepts |  But it may also be the result of enlarged tonsils or adenoids - leading to frequent infections and bunged-up noses - or to an allergy, perhaps relating to processed foods or environmental pollution (and possibly enhanced by our over-clean homes - see page 52). When I worked with special needs children, I noticed that many (especially dyslexics and ADHD-sufferers) suffered from snuffles and runny noses - but I'd always assumed these were connected with hearing problems rather than disturbed sleep. Perhaps it's a mixture ofboth. |

Sure, I drink coffee, I began when I was a young teen and remember how my mother used to let me have an occasional "grown-up" cup, which was half milk with tons of sugar—very yum—and to this day I get that same feeling. Of course I try to keep it down to what I drink at home and an occasional exotic coffee when I am on the road.

See book keywords and concepts |  The incidence of asthma has shot up 160 percent since 1980, with asthma specialists speculating that the rising levels of environmental pollution lead to more occurrences of asthma.
It is important that children with asthma get plenty of vitamin C, along with other antioxidant nutrients. Vitamin C also increases the levels of lung enzymes that decrease naturally in people with asthma. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin C can help to lessen wheezing and coughing. A diet that is high in protein, low in carbohydrates, and contains no refined sugar is best. |

On a daily basis, we battle with pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, industtial wastes, cigarette smoke, and automobile exhaust. Our air, water, and food in particular are full of toxic substances. There is no doubt that these toxins play a role in immune dysfunction. Even substances consideted by most people as safe actually impair immune function. |

See book keywords and concepts | | With drinking water threatened by droughts, environmental pollution, and contaminants, it is important to consider where water comes from and its vital contribution to health.
The human body is composed of approximately 70 percent water, with content varying considerably from person to person and from one body part to another. The body's water supply is responsible for and involved in nearly every physical process, including digestion, absorption, circulation, and excretion.
A drop in the body's water content is reflected as a decline in blood volume. |
