See book keywords and concepts |  Environmental Pollution and Radiation
There are many reasons for concerns about environmental pollution and radiation exposure in this day and age. This is more true around big cities, but even in the rural sections of this nation, air and water contamination is spreading, and pesticides are a danger everywhere. Unless we want to go live in the wilderness, we need to be aware of many environmental toxins and learn how to protect ourselves from them; however, the wilderness is likely to be contaminated these days as well. |

At the same time, skin reflects many conditions and emotions that come from within, for example, when it blushes or sweats.
Similarly, some skin disorders, such as warts, are confined just to the skin, while others—indeed most of them—tell a story of what is going on inside. |

There are also lifestyle-related causes of oxidative stress, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, excessive exercise, prescription drugs, and especially overeating. Trying too hard to get a tan can also hurt; too much sun (ultraviolet radiation) contributes to oxidative stress.
Internal sources of oxidative stress include infections, whether acute or chronic, as well as problems with blood sugar regulation. |

With federal, state, and local governments hard-pressed financially, we may simply be unable to afford to be as stringent as possible in all areas of regulation.
Today's Priorities for Action
Although much remains to be done in terms of regulation, many sources of environmental pollution have been substantially reduced by government mandate. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Free radical production is, however, markedly accelerated by environmental pollution and a variety of physical and emotional stresses.
The free radical, the atom that's produced in this process, is in a highly reactive and unbalanced state. It is primed to restore its balance by taking an electron from another molecule. When this second molecule loses its electron, it too is ready to find a substitute. Very quickly a chain reaction is set off, with each free radical stealing from and damaging neighboring molecules. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In fact, there is probably a complex array of causes, including genetic factors, environmental pollution, stress, salt intake, Syndrome X, extrasensitivity of peripheral arteries, and abnormalities in the hormones, that regulate blood pressure.
We do know much about how blood pressure is regulated and adjusted, and it's a marvelous, complicated system. Somehow the body must change and adjust blood pressure among various organs and body parts while always keeping the blood flow constant to the brain. | | At the same time, we are confronting new risks from environmental pollution, from our diet, even from medicine itself. But the new discoveries in nutrition, risk factors, genetic testing, and the like are giving us the tools to deal with them.
Then, in Part Two, we'll look at each of the body's "systems" — from the immune to the cardiovascular; from the respiratory to the muscular and skeletal. | | Since the beginning of this century, environmental pollution in Europe alone has caused a fiftyfold rise in the concentrations of cadmium in the human kidney, where it can cause permanent, irreversible disease. Cadmium buildup in the kidneys, even at moderate levels, can also lead to high blood pressure, which contributes to heart disease. About 10 percent of the general population of Belgium suffers from cadmium levels that are high enough to harm the kidneys. We would expect similar levels in the highly industrialized regions of the United States. | | We need to develop a greater awareness of what we are doing to our autonomic nervous systems with poor diet, environmental pollution, high-stress habits, and self-inflicted poisons. We should stop accepting strokes as the scourge of the elderly when there are clear methods for preventing and slowing cerebrovascular disease. And we should no longer accept the notion of an inevitable decline of mental function with old age —we now have the knowledge and tools to arrest or slow many types of decline. | | We don't yet know whether this is due to unknown genetic factors, the possible overuse of bronchodilators, medicines, increased environmental pollution, or poor access to health care.2
The Common Culprits — and How to Foil Them
Housekeepers and sufferers from allergies and asthma all have a common problem: dust. Add to that mold, lint, dust mites, cockroaches, grass, cigarette smoke, gas stoves, and diesel fuel, all of which commonly cause allergic, hay fever, or asthmatic symptoms. |
James S. Gordon, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Asthma, for example, has been increasing steadily in the last two decades, its incidence probably elevated by environmental pollution, adulterated food, and stress. Between 1981 and 1988 it climbed by 39 percent for all children under eighteen. During this same period the incidence and hospitalization rates for asthma were 300 to 400 percent greater for black children, like Jermayne and Jerome, than for white children. The mortality rate from this condition was five times higher for black males than for white males. |

One question remains: will viruses finally wipe out human life on this planet? |

See book keywords and concepts |  It is fine to use your imagination to manifest material things, but it will anchor you to here, preventing you from experiencing the divine union necessary to heal ourselves and transmute environmental pollution.
To do this, we must change our consciousness and examine the difference between using our imagination to serve small, egoic desires and utilizing it to serve our highest potential and humanity.
To align with what is for the highest good for ourselves and the planet, we use our own imaginative creative energies along with asking, "Thy will be done. |

Antioxidants such as vitamin C, beta-carotene, selenium, and vitamin E, have been shown to be very important in protecting the sperm against damage. Vitamin C plays an especially important role in protecting the sperms genetic material (DNA) from damage. Ascorbic acid levels are much higher in seminal fluid than in other body fluids, including the blood. |

See book keywords and concepts | | I contend that we can reverse environmental pollution through spiritual methods. I do believe that science and the mystical traditions can work together to offer solutions to the world's maladies, but first we must reacquaint ourselves with the knowledge of the great mystics.
The mystical traditions that speak to the ability to transform and transmute poisons are a valuable resource. Their stories of how certain gifted people harmonized with nature to restore health to the environment have much to teach us.
Recently fires burned out of control in the rain forests of South America. | | We want to use the material in this book to actually reverse environmental pollution. But it's also important to recognize that you will become a different person after doing the exercises, meditations, and ceremonies. It's not just what you do but who you become that will heal you and the earth.
After reading Medicine for the Earth, you might not be able to turn water into wine. But through the process of focusing on your intention, you will become more centered, grounded, and present, and so the quality of your life will improve. |

See book keywords and concepts | | An individual's nutritional needs are also influenced by varying factors like environmental pollution and stressors, chemical exposure, physical exercise, stress, and age. But this hasn't been acknowledged by the National Academy of Sciences, which sets the RDAs. For most nutrients, they recommend practically the same RDAs whether you are young or old. Accordingly, when you consider supplements, it's best to forget the RDAs and consult a nutrition specialist, since each individual's needs are unique. |

In 1974, Drs. C.W. Weber and B.L. Reid at the University of Arizona again conducted research to determine whether fluoride was an essential nutrient. |

My advice is to embrace the Permanent Remissions Plan as your lifelong way of eating. Enjoy regular physical activity that burns an additional 1,500-2,000 calories each week. |

See book keywords and concepts | | As you read in the introduction, my true purpose in writing this book is to bring back ancient wisdom to help us in transmuting environmental pollution. As we became disconnected from spirit and our own divinity, we became more and more disconnected from other living beings and from nature. This disconnection has created most of the toxins and pollutions we now need to transmute in order to survive.
In all of my previous books I have written about the importance of connecting with nature for true healing to take place. |

During the 1960s the Waischenfelder Apotheke was recommending Kombucha to be taken daily as a preventative and therapeutic remedy for such diverse ailments as the onset of arteriosclerosis, constipation, physical and mental fatigue, low sex drive, and convalescence. |

Although much remains to be done in terms of regulation, many sources of environmental pollution have been substantially reduced by government mandate. Previous laws and EPA programs have focused most on controlling "end-of-pipe" pollution, cleaning up or minimizing the damage of effluents and emissions. A shift toward preventing pollutants from being generated in the first place may be beginning. |

Author of a number of herb books, including The Holistic Herbal and Successful Stress Control, Hoffmann's major issue when he ran for Parliament in England was global ecology. He focused on what happens when you regularly take a common drug used to treat stomach ulcers and gastritis: "You become very involved in an ecological cycle that involves all of the pollution produced in the factories that prepare the drug. It just happens that this process is a very messy one. |

See book keywords and concepts | | One theory that refuses to go away is that it's a reaction to environmental pollution - particularly from aluminum. Autopsies of Alzheimer patients reveal aluminum at the sites of tangled neurofibrils (minute brain nerve fibers) and patches of beta amyloid, a waxy and toxic substance that comes from degenerated body tissue. Is aluminum a cause - possibly the cause - or a byproduct of the disease process?
As long ago as 35 years, Dr. D. Crapper at the University of Toronto, performed many autopsies on the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients and found aluminum there. |

Immune system deficiency has devastating effects on the energy field and the vitality of the individual. This deficiency in the field can be sensed by the Healing Touch therapist as an emptiness, a flatness, or lack of "bounce," especially in the lower centers. |
