Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 do you have a filter? I put a filter on my shower head. But, the worse is public swimming pools that overdose on the chlorine to compensate for the amount of swimmers, especially kids. nancie From: Crystal Sent: Sunday, April 27, 2008 8:54 PM hypothyroidism Subject: Re: heart disease Like everyday in the shower! cw most definitely. chlorine is extremely toxic to the body, especially if the exposure is over a long period.

I also believe chlorine is extremely toxic and damages our health! cw crystal- that is a great question. most of my friends and fellow colleagues who are providers believe that the environment has a great impact on today's diseases and cancers. there is so much toxicity out there with all the chemicals, the hormones and antibiotics that are in the animal feed; the list goes on- that has been directly linked to causing many diseases and cancers- by changing the DNA in the person or by triggering a predisposition in the person's genetic map to cause cancer. or disease. remember brokovich (sp?) who proved that pacific G & E contaminated the ground water which caused all those people to develop cancers? that maybe happening in your area..... nancie From: Crystal Sent: Sunday, April 27, 2008 8:13 PM hypothyroidism Subject: RE: heart disease With so many neighbors with breast cancer I wonder how much is environmental ? crystal " Aslan, " said Lucy, " you're bigger.

Indeed. There was a time when most research was restricted to men to avoid the complications of female reproductive hormones. When I reviewed grant proposals for the NIH in the late 1980s they were trying to reverse this by giving preference to research specifically aimed at women. That was what led to the discovery that estrogen seems to protect against cardiovascular conditions. After menopause, the risk for women is now know to catch up to men. That was one of the reasons for encouraging HRT, until they figured out they were trading heart problems for cancer. It was not a conspiracy of diagnosticians. There is a very real difference in risk prior to menopause. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Not yet, I've been procrastinating. I do have a ro system in my kitchen. I wish I could shower in it:) I want a whole house filter. It's like 5 bucks a week. cw " Aslan, " said Lucy, " you're bigger.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 , There are genetic conditions that cause children to have elevated lipids, and these patients are at at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It's probably not a stretch to imagine that pediatric HIV patients will face this issue as they age. I'm sure pediatric HIV specialists have a bit to say on the issue. Is the doctor you work with aware of your concerns? JB Permanently etched on your screen by my iPad's phaser gun app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
