Guest guest Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 Dear Friends,This is a copy of our most recently submitted news article. Feel free to pass it on and submit to your friends, family and local papers. What You Don’t Know Can Kill You!We send prayers and best wishes to everyone affected by the tragic events of 911. Unfortunately we must also add: “Prepare for the fight of your life”! While issues are being debated, illnesses caused from toxic exposures at ground zero are rearing their ugly heads, emergency personnel and others are developing serious and in some cases, life threatening health problems. Evidence is growing that our government failed to disclose the existence and dangers of deadly pollution in the aftermath. Illnesses caused by toxic exposures are devastating, and of epidemic proportions and the lack of awareness and qualified doctors clearly magnifies the crisis. To avoid misdiagnoses it is Imperative for one to be seen by a specialist in the field of Environmental Health, Neurology, and Toxicology. The threat of chemical warfare is terrifying and yet for years it has been a reality to millions living right here in the United States! Our pain and suffering has been long and ongoing, many of us have had to bury our dead. Their lives lost and the cause goes unrecognized. Our other heroes, our veterans, who fought and sacrificed much for the good of all, now find themselves engaged in yet another war – one fighting for their lives from health issues caused by “DTS.“ Children and adults from all walks of life are dying, lives are being destroyed and families are being ripped apart physically, emotionally and financially. “Why”? Toxic Injuries caused by the (DTS) Dangerous Toxic Secrets in our everyday products and environment! Know that there has been and currently is no outpouring of help, no celebrity hosted fundraisers nor any help extended to the victims, the survivors of toxic chemicals, or to their families. No help for proper medical diagnosis and treatment – no help for loss of jobs and lifestyles that were forever changed due to unnecessary and avoidable toxic chemical exposures. The same acknowledgment, respect, support and help allotted to other illnesses & disabilities is non-existent for people who have become ill or died from toxic chemical exposures. Our hope is that through awareness and education the misdiagnoses, mistreatment and discrimination against those with toxic injuries will cease once our government officials; medical professionals, family members and society in general become more educated on these serious issues. Unfortunately, the rest of the story concerning 911 will continue to unfold over countless years to come as many of the rescuers, innocent by-standers and residents from Ground Zero join the ranks of us who are from the “Unrecognized Toxic War”! May God Bless Us ALL!

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!
