BODY BURDENThe term "body burden" is now commonly used in reference to synthetic chemicals that have entered into our bodies since the beginning of the 1900s. They enter by consumption, inhalation and contact often when we are least aware. Individually, toxins wreak havoc on our health and longevity; together, their effects are exponential. You could say we are toxic soups; "mutants" is a term used by journalists to define our new countenance. We no longer experience what natural life is really like-the kind our ancestors enjoyed.Many of these toxins are carcinogens (cancer causing), and neurotoxins (which cause brain damage). They often manifest immediately with symptoms such as nausea, migraines, respiratory difficulties, rashes to heart palpitations; sadly, we have learned to accept these as normal bodily functions. They are not. Most homes are extremely polluted because they are populated with hundreds of toxins we touch and inhale . And our pantries and refrigerators are chock-full of equally destructive toxins. Even our drinking water is a culprit. Stores, schools, hospitals are no exceptions. Corporations and their lobbyists will obfuscate the facts by arguing that dosages are small; but, they fail to tell the public that once these enter our bloodstream, they stockpile in our body. And when two or more toxins interact the results can be catastrophic. These toxins stress our immune system, our vitality, our energy and our longevity. As we age our immune system can no longer suppress these intruders and it succumbs to various diseases including cancer, circulatory and neural diseases. We rarely hear that someone has died of natural causes anymore. Today, we are seeing mass effects from infancy with a steep rise in childhood diseases such as autism, brain tumors, diabetes and leukemia. It does not matter what age you are, our bodies are all responding to our toxic body burden-no one is exempt. The toxic body burden is a human emergency and it must enter our daily discourse. At the very least your awareness can empower you to improve your personal environment through better choices and action. "287" is expected to usher in this awareness. What Inconvenient Truth is to your external environment, "287" is to your internal environment. Add your comments here |
