We live in a society that is marked with convenience everywhere we turn. Everyday has some aspect of an instantaneous lifestyle. Whether it be wanting instant health results, instant technology results or instant food results. We have been conditioned as a society to want everything and expect it yesterday! For all the conveniences of our lives, we are slowly starting to pay for them with toxic health and toxic environments.

Pollution is at an all time high. Factories work around the clock to make sure we can have the conveniences of gas powered cars, plastic bags, plastic containers, pharmaceutical drugs that give us instant masks for our symptoms, and our fake food. Thousands of chemicals get tossed into our environment daily to make everyday living and cleanliness "easier".

People eat non-food products because they believe the lies that our bodies don't need nutrition and just magically run on junk. It is taught that it is much more important to take as little time as possible making and preparing our food so we can get onto something more "fun" like watching television or some other mindless activity.

Because of these lies the general population is adding to their health complaints daily by ingesting environmental toxins and eating highly preserved boxed convenience non-food items.

Take a look at vaccines for example. They are created and forced on the general public to prevent disease. Little do we know that all of the vaccines made are ineffective and actually pose a danger to our bodies by causing havoc within our immune systems because of additives that were never meant to be injected into our bodies. It is as if we are willing to trade one disease for countless others!

According to a recent article by Dr. Mercola these are the most recent stats for environmental toxins:

* 77,000 chemicals are produced in North America

* Over 3,000 chemicals are added to our food supply

* 10,000 chemical solvents, emulsifiers & preservatives are in our foods

* 1,000 new chemicals are introduced each year

Whoa!

Do we actually know how our bodies react to these chemicals? Do we know they are safe? NO! Quite often when these chemicals are created they are deemed safe if there is no immediate or instant health reaction. However of all the man created chemicals in this world, I would dare say that 99% are detrimental to health when humans are exposed to them for any length of time.

What doctors and many health "professionals" don't tell us is that toxins build up in our bodies. Once our bodies are saturated with toxins from food, environment and pharmaceutical drugs our bodies exhibit auto immune disorders, and toxic side effects.

Unfortunately when it comes to auto-immune disorders the mainstream doctors and medical personnel cannot explain why these disorders exist. They can explain what they are doing to the body and what symptoms are produced, but not why the patient has the disorder.

These mainstream medical doctors and personnel are not taught to understand the body. They are taught how to understand symptoms so they can be masked by drugs, drugs and more drugs.

Why then in the past 100 years have all these auto-immune disorders suddenly appeared? Is it not a reasonable conclusion that these disorders are affecting the health of millions of individuals because in the last 100 years man kind has been playing with science to make life "easier". Perhaps it is coincidence?

I for one strongly believe that there is no coincidence. The following auto-immune disorders are causing havoc in the lives of millions because of our careless science experiments.

Lupus
Multiple Sclerosis
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Fibromialgia
Juvenile Diabetes
Crohn's Disease
Colitis
Celiac Disease
Chronic Allergies
Temporal Arteritis
Addisons Disease
ALS
Parkinson's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
ADD/ADHD
Endocrine Disorders
Fatigue
Headaches
Hormonal Imbalances
Various Cancers

And of course many more...

It was estimated in the British Medical Journal that 75% of cancers are caused by environmental and lifestyle factors. Another report done by Columbia University School of Public Health, stated that 95 percent of cancer is caused by diet and environmental toxicity. Now if the professionals know this why is there not more public awareness? Why are the toxic chemicals and food still being made?

I will tell you why! Money is more important than health to the majority of individuals in this world. Sadly the industry of toxic chemicals and toxic food makes big money for a large number of societies and governments. Money isn't any good or the least bit enjoyable though if you are sickly and are enduring a low quality of life.

According to Dr. Mercola the following toxins are the 10 most popular:

1. PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls)

2. Pesticides

3. Mold and other Fungal Toxins

4. Phthalates

5. VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)

6. Dioxins

7. Asbestos

8. Heavy Metals

9. Chloroform

10. Chlorine

These toxins are attributed to causing these ailments:

Sore throat, coughing, eye and skin irritation, rapid breathing, narrowing of the bronchi, wheezing, accumulation of fluid in the lungs, lung pain, severe eye and skin irritation/burns, lung collapse, reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) (a type of asthma), potential reproductive damage, birth defects, fatigue, liver and kidney damage, Cancer, neurological disorders, Alzheimer's disease, foggy head, nausea and vomiting, decreased production of red and white blood cells, abnormal heart rhythm, damage to blood vessels, scarring of the lung tissue, mesothelioma (a type of cancer), reproductive and developmental disorders, chloracne (a severe skin disease with acne-like lesions), skin rashes, skin discoloration, excessive body hair, mild liver damage, eye and respiratory tract irritation, headaches, dizziness, visual disorders, and memory impairment, Endocrine system damage, , heart disease, asthma, Multiple Sclerosis, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, miscarriage, nerve damage, blocking the absorption of food nutrients, Cancer, impaired fetal brain development.

Common sources of these dangerous toxins:

Food (fruits, vegetables and commercially raised meats), bug sprays, Farm raised fish - Salmon being the most toxic, contaminated buildings, peanuts, corn, wheat, alcoholic beverages, plastic everything, Drinking water, carpet, paints, deodorants, cleaning fluids, varnishes, cosmetics, dry cleaned clothing, moth repellants, air fresheners, commercial animal products and fats, (fat holds toxins and can be lethal), insulation form the 1950's - 1970's, vaccines, commercially prepared wood, dental amalgams, the air we breath, commercial swimming pools and commercially treated water and water plants.

So you see our environment and foods are heavily contaminated. It is becoming much more important to be health conscious and do everything we can to ensure our health and the health of our children. It is important though to keep a healthy balance and not get so extreme that it effects the quality of our life. But, rest assured the small things count, and the small lifestyle changes can attribute to extended life and quality thereof.

Here are some hints to help protect your health:

Eat organic foods!

If you "need" milk, drink raw organic un-pasturized milk from cows or goats!

Use natural/biodegradable cleansers and house hold products!

Use natural cosmetic products including toothpaste & deodorant!

Avoid artificial and preserved foods, artificial sweeteners and MSG!

Don't hide from the sun - safe limited sun exposure is ok.

Beware of chemical laden sunscreens and sun block!

Drink only filtered pure water. Beware of treated tap water!

Take extra nutrients in an absorbable form, that your body needs!

Detox your body by cleansing and liver flushing
