Guest guest Posted January 20, 2002 Report Share Posted January 20, 2002 Come on everybody. Let's get real on our approach to understanding what is wrong with the world. Chemical warfare agents under your sink? We must remember that chemical warfare agents are designed to kill. How many people have died as a result of properly using household cleaners? or are only the chemical warfare failures used in detergents. If things were really that bad, how could average life expectency be over 70 years. We would be lucky to make it to child bearing age. In contrast, synthetic chemicals, including those made from coal or petroleum, have helped in many ways to improve life quality and duration. I am not saying there is no risk. It is all too true that the vast majority of modern synthetic chemicals have not been adequately tested. The author cites allergic reactions as toxicity. But milk, peanuts, wheat and a host of other natural products also stimulate allergic reactions. Dry skin from antibacterial soap? The same can happen from many soaps, antibacterial or not, depending on simple pH control. We just need to be cognizant of what bothers us and not use those things. Who can realisticaly think that corporations such as Colgate, Lever Brothers, Dial, or Procter & Gamble are willing to put a product on the market they have any suspicions whatsoever about. Maybe some of you can remember P & G's embarassment and legal predicament several years ago with toxic shock syndrome associated with Rely tampons. Large companies are very aware of liability and maintaining customer satisfaction. This article is just more sensationalist rubbish unfortunately finding its way onto the otherwise valuable sick building web site. ----Original Message Follows---- From: cavegrl777@...

What you absorb includes what is absorbed through inhalation and the skin, which happens to be the largest organ of the body. When the liver is overworked, the skin takes over with the elimination of toxins. Unfortunately, many toxins are not that easy to eliminate.  Since WWII more than 80,000 synthetic chemicals have been invented. Most have been created from petroleum and coal tar for the purposes of chemical warfare. The sad thing is that hardly any of these substances have been tested for safety, but have been added to our food, water and cleaning products without our consent and most often without informing us of any dangers. There is a lot of intentional suppression in this industry that adds approximately 1000 new chemicals each year. According to the National Research Council, " no toxic information is available for more than 80% of the chemicals in everyday-use products. Less than 20% have been tested for acute effects and less than 10% have been tested for chronic, reproductive or mutagenic effects. " More than 4.5 billion chemicals are known and 50,000 are commercially distributed. What's worse is that tests are only done on single chemicals. There is never any testing done on combinations, which we're exposed to on a daily basis. Imagine what your lifetime exposure is. It requires a team of scientists, 300 mice, more than $300,000 US, and 2-3 years to determine whether one single suspect chemical causes cancer. These mice have much higher immune systems than we do. Governments are at the mercy of economic agendas. Industry interests almost always win over issues regarding health or government regulation. Only 1% of toxins are required to be listed on labels. This is mainly because the products don't make any claims about safety. Companies can also classify them as " trade secrets " to avoid listing them. Many of the ingredients labelled " inert " are actually more toxic than the active ingredients. If you don't know what it is, don't use it. The chemical companies spend billions of dollars each year brainwashing us. Ninety-one percent of the population applies 300-million pounds of these poisons annually, often indoors. City dwellers use more chemicals per acre than farmers and spend more than $1 billion annually. The first agent of chemical warfare was chlorine. The war ended with an abundance of this cheap chemical. In the name of huge profits, it was added to our water supply and many other products. Chlorine is the number one cause of breast cancer and can be lethal. Scientists won't handle chlorine without protective gloves, facemasks, and ventilation, yet it is in most store-brand cleaners, including dishwasher detergents. The harmful effects are intensified when the fumes are heated, as in the shower. It's in our drinking water, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, and more. Fluoride is worse, but space limits its discussion here. Do your own research and avoid it. It's one of the biggest scams of all time. It has no benefits whatsoever. It's extremely poisonous! Most household cleaners contain toxic chemicals. Ammonia is in almost all of them and is lethal if combined with bleach (forming chloramine). Industry requires readily accessible information about chemicals used in the workplace that includes the effects of combining chemicals. The main manual, Workplace Hazardous Materials Identification System (WHMIS), contains Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Have a look at this manual. You may be surprised at how dangerous some products are that you use, unsuspectingly, in your home on a regular basis. The government acknowledges that these cleaning products are hazardous, but regulation only requires labels to indicate if they are: combustible, corrosive, poison, caution, etc. One Million poisonings in Canada each year are due to household cleaner ingestion. Some are fatal. The #1 cause of household poisoning is dish detergent. What kinds of chemicals are in those products? These statistics were given before the recent hype over anti-bacterials, which are even worse. Certain types of bacteria are necessary and beneficial. They eat decaying debris and keep the " bad " bacteria in balance. Nature is always safest and was never intended to destroy, like chemicals are. etc. etc. etc. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments on milk and wheat allergies....milk is loaded with hormones, steroids, pesticides and many other unhealthy constituents. It is totally unnatural for any species to drink milk from another species not to mention continuing to drink milk into adulthood. If you think milk is safe, it's not. Go www.notmilk.com for the truth about milk and what the dairy industry hopes you won't find out. Wheat....is a bioengineered grain. It is the least nutricious of all the grains. wheat IS NOT healthy. No animals eat it in the wild. Have you ever seen a scarecrow in a wheat field? White flour is made from wheat and white flour is not fit for consumption. <snip> Maybe some of you can remember P & G's embarassment and legal > predicament several years ago with toxic shock syndrome associated with Rely > tampons.

It is also the most highly poisonous neurotoxicant on the face of the earth. This, of course was hushed up and the truth never came out but you now have the truth about death and Rely tampons. Carson's 1964 book, " Silent Spring " addressed the lunacy of pesticide abuse and its eventual effect of destroying the environment. This continues to be a very serious problem. Now we are being warned of overuse of chemicals of all kinds which are definately impacting our environment and wiping out species of all kinds. I would not take this too lightly. It may sound like sensationalist rubbish now but we are coming closer to the day when we'll wish we had taken all this more seriously sooner.
