Energy Detox: for better health
Remember DDT? No, it
isn't something in the past. The myth was touted all over the world that
small amounts are harmless before DDT was partially banned decades later.
Scientists were appalled to find that every amount we have created stays
in the environment and merely cycles through soil, plants, animals and
back to the soil, plants and animals.
They were also
surprised that it was one of the strongest cancer-causing chemicals that
man had ever devised and can cause or mimic any illness, including common
allergies, recurrent infections, hormone deficiencies, so-called auto-immune
diseases, and cancer.
DDT came on the scene in 1943. By 1973 DDT had been used for 30 years.
Yet the World Health organizaion report concluded that its benefits were
far greater than its risks. It took another 25 years before the damaging
health effects were acknowledged. By then it was too late. There are no
longer any living organisms, animals in the wild, or humans, free of
detectable levels of DDT, or its metabolite DDE, in their bodies.
Furthermore, there are no oceans, seas or lakes that are free of
this pesticide. DDT residues have even found in all birds and fish
analyzed, even in those living in desert areas or in the depths of the
oceans. And DDT slowly
stockpiles. Even if it disappeared today from our environment, it would
take over 20 years for the levels of DDT to dissipate from our bodies at
average detoxification rates. And we would not live long enough for levels
of DDE, which is many fold more toxic than DDT, to disappear from our
bodies.
DDT is just one of so many pesticides in our environment now. Pesticide
residues are not only found in every ocean of the world, researchers have
to drill down 100 feet or more before they can find clean ice, free from
evidence of 20th century chemicals. PCBs, a major water contaminant from
pesticide runoff, are found in 100 per cent of all sperm samples in
humans. They are considered one of the main reasons the average sperm
count in the Western male is 50-70 per cent what it was even 30 years ago
and possibly 15-25 per cent of male U S college students are sterile,
compared to 0.5 per cent 35 years ago.
PCBs are not one chemical but a family of over 200
chemicals, most of whose members contain benzene rings (a known cause of
leukemia) and chlorine atoms (known to be associated with higher rates of
cancer). If that were not enough, PCBs are usually contaminated with even
more dangerous furans and dioxins (one of which is Agent Orange). PCBs
outgas from plastics, pesticides, flame retardants, carbonless paper,
inks, hydraulic and lubricating fluids, transformers and capacitors, heat
exchange fluids, waste oil processing, welding equipment, x-ray machines,
and fluorescent light ballasts.
PCBs are so common through the world that they have
been found in pristine areas. In lakes inaccessible even by
four-wheel-drive, researchers with helicopters have found samples of these
waters contain PCBs. They are especially toxic after fires, as this is a
major way of creating new and even nastier chemical mixtures. Taken up
into clouds, PCBs are carried for hundreds and thousands of miles,
eventually raining out. From here they are incorporated into soil and
taken up by plants. That is why, as with most of these
environmental chemicals, food is a major source.
And researchers now know beyond a doubt that pesticides do their nastiest
work at very low levels of exposure. You see, low levels do not cause
symptoms: as we
adapt they do not alert anyone to the problem. Hence years of exposure are
innocently tolerated. That is, until they finally result in illness. And
when illness does materialize, it can be something as ill-defined as
dwindling intellect and memory, chalked up to "normal" aging or as
dramatic as a seemingly unrelated spontaneous abortion.
But have you ever met a neurologist who checks for pesticide levels and
detoxification capability? What doctor checks pesticide levels in patients
with Parkinson's disease? Yet, when researchers need 500 rats with
Parkinson's disease for pharmaceutical drug experiments, they only need to
give the rats one dose of an organic pesticide to get experimental rats
with full-blown Parkinson's disease.
Energy Detox
gives the body the needed boost to start to return integrity to
the body,
enabling it
to reverse the decades of accumulated poisons.
It does not
treat disease.
