Guest guest Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 If this was discussed before I must have missed it, sorry for the repeat. Some people believe that all the chemicals in our soaps, detergents, shampoo's, household cleaners, etc, the hormones and preservatives in our foods, cause many of the disease's/syndromes that people have these day's. With all these things going into our systems, it's no wonder why everything is going haywire. I would like to hear everyone else's opinions on this.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 I teach a lot of classes and discuss with people, the way chemicals may interfere with how our bodies are meant to function. it is a researched fact that petrochemicals in our environment block the receptor sites of our cells and do not allow the " message " to get in. prescription drugs can do the same thing as our bodies do not recognise them fully since they are man made. that is why there are so many side effects on the sheet from the medication. we just hope that the benfit outweighs the side effects. each person's immune system can handle differing amounts of irritants before reacting. lots of chemicals are stored in the fat deposits of the body for years, even decades. DDT was one they thought safe. my mom worked a dairy farm as a young girl and to kill flies they tossed handfuls around the barn. she now has breast cancer, her youngest sister died of ovarian and breast cancer. the doctor said it was a problem being exposed to so much and using it bare handed. if we can choose to not add to the toxic load of our body, I choose to use caution. I never gave it a thought as a kid the stuff we used on the farm. I'd dust the vegetables like my parents. In massage school it really hit me. anything you breathe or rub on your skin enters your blood stream. each hair on your body, your arms, legs etc, each has a tiny capillary. that's why topical creams work. so what do we rub on our skin and in our hair? it may not be a problem now but how will we be years after constantly doing this? my liver failed when I had hepatitis and I could not put anything into my system. I learned the hard way. if you don't have a healthy liver to filter out the toxins they build up quicker in the body. lots of people with FM have some sort of sluggish liver and maybe colon from what my students tell me. we just don't excrete the body's byproducts as well as we'd like. the lactic acid from normal activity makes us ache more. drinking more water to flush it out helps. so a lot of people don't worry about chemicals in things if their system is working. I worry about the neighbors who spray their yard and fertilize with the strong chemicals then let the kids dance around barefoot. there are safer alternatives that don't kill the natural balance of minerals and wild life. it works the same with humans. the closer to nature, the easier your body can recognize and handle things. simple plant oils used to be medicine but cannot be patented so drug companies make synthetic things that can to make lots of money. one plant oil can have over 200 beneficial properties. that is all that plant had to stay healthy for it could not run away from predators. drug companies are always trying to mimic nature. using more natural things help reduce the pollution your body has to sort through to stay functional. I like using the safer products, lots are cheaper in the long run, reduced our doctor bills, got my kids off allergy medicine, fixed my liver and stomach problems, make my home smell better and are a lot of fun to learn about. but its up to a person how much they want to know and learn. some want a quick fix or to get rich without helping people learn to help themselves. but beware of spam promoting miracle cures, its your body and you need to know how to work with what is right for you. look for companies who do research and help real people, not ones that promote the money side. discuss it with your doctor and do what feels right. you did not get this way over night and healing is a life long process, stay true to your path! blessings, Marie marie@... ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
