Linda’s comments:  Chemicals in newborns….sounds very scary and disgusting, but a mom carrying an unborn baby is dumping all her poisons and toxins into the baby.  So, if you are wearing perfumes, body lotions, etc., etc., etc. and eating bad foods, then your unborn child will be the recipient of all that garbage.  Pretty sickening isn’t it??

Tests Find More Than 200 Chemicals in Newborn Umbilical Cord Blood
Study commissioned by environmental group finds high levels of chemicals in U.S. minority infants
By Sara Goodman

U.S. minority infants are born carrying hundreds of chemicals in their bodies, according to a report released today by an environmental group.

The Environmental Working Group’s study commissioned five laboratories to examine the umbilical cord blood of 10 babies of African-American, Hispanic and Asian heritage and found more than 200 chemicals in each newborn.

“We know the developing fetus is one of the most vulnerable populations, if not the most vulnerable, to environmental exposure,” said Anila Jacobs, EWG senior scientist. “Their organ systems aren’t mature and their detox methods are not in place, so cord blood gives us a good picture of exposure during this most vulnerable time of life.”

Linda’s comment:  Use of potentially harmful chemicals kept secret under law…???  Sorry but this is criminal in my book….there is no wonder there are so many environmental cancers today.  What do you think this is doing to our children and grandchildren?  We are adults, we can read labels and do our own research, except in cases like this.  How dare they playing with our lives.  We elect them to be honest not hide behind some veil of secrecy!!  This is criminal in my books…Do they not know they are killing and exposing their own families, themselves??
 
Perhaps we should shove all these creeps in a moldy toxic room, spray it good with pesticides, herbicides and these other chemicals they are hiding, then feed them GMO foods with a diet soda chaser!!??  Wonder how many will keep their prostates?  How many will get lung, breast and stomach cancers?  Enough is enough, we the consumer have to stand up and SAY NO, WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE….
 
All the more reason why we must focus on detoxing and following a lifelong daily detox program.

Excerpt:

Of the 84,000 chemicals in commercial use in the United States — from
flame retardants in furniture to household cleaners — nearly 20 percent
are secret, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, their
names and physical properties guarded from consumers and virtually all
public officials under a little-known federal provision.

The policy was designed 33 years ago to protect trade secrets in a
highly competitive industry. But critics — including the Obama
administration — say the secrecy has grown out of control, making it
impossible for regulators to control potential dangers or for consumers
to know which toxic substances they might be exposed to.

At a time of increasing public demand for more information about
chemical exposure, pressure is building on lawmakers to make it more
difficult for manufacturers to cloak their products in secrecy. Congress
is set to rewrite chemical regulations this year for the first time in a
generation.

Linda’s comments:  “Safe” lead levels?????  What is that suppose to mean???  In my opinion there is NO safe lead levels., as I want it GONE from my body.   I focus daily on a lifelong detox program.  I had 14 amalgams removed and I will be at this for several years to come.  However, it is working and I’m so very happy to have learned the importance and how to do a lifelong detox protocol.   The FIGHT protocol ROCKS and the 1 1/2 years I have been on it is the best thing I ever did.  Lyme patients have panic attacks, but Lyme patients are also full of serious toxins, namely lead/mercury.  I have never and don’t intend to take pharmaceuticals  to remove the unwanted and toxic chemicals in my body.  You can listen to the Webinar on FIGHT at www.gordonresearch.com.  It is excellent and you can learn a lot…
 
At least this article talks about reducing our environmental exposures.  We can work hard at doing that, which I do daily, but with the “industry”, like Monsanto who continue to dump deadly toxins into our gardens, food and homes.  It is time THE CONSUMER, JUST SAYS NO MORE and stop buying these toxic chemicals.  Until the consumers walk up and put their foot down, the Monsanto’s of the world will continue to make our bodies a toxic dump. 
 
The one I worry about is pregnant mothers.  The baby they are carrying is a toxic dump from all the bad things the mom is exposed to and eats.  These babies don’t have a chance in hell.  They will be born with a body FULL OF TOXINS….Sad Sad thing…
 
You want to get rid of unwanted WEEDS.  Simple solution, take one gallon of Heinz WHITE Vinegar, pour in a cup of Morton’s salt, and one tablespoon of Dawn dishwasher detergent….Pour over the weeds and or spray the weeds you want dead.  It works and it is NON-TOXIC, using NO CHEMICALS.  So for approximately $3.00 dollars you can make the safest non-chemical WEED KILLER…..Shssssssssss  don’t tell Monsanto or they might come and get me….ROFL…..
 
Folks you can very easily began cleaning up your homes, offices and diets from chemicals, and begin a program like FIGHT.  Save your own lives, children’s lives and our earth.

PS…..I have tried hundreds of detox techniques over the years (I’m 65 yrs old) but I have found that the products in my lifelong daily detox program works for me.  I feel blessed daily for this…

December 9, 2009 — Young adults with higher blood lead levels are more likely to have major depressive disorder (MDD) or panic disorder, even if they have exposure to lead levels generally considered safe, new research suggests. Continued

Linda’s comment:  This report was posted in 1989 but it still is true today.  Many of us Lymies have/had Lyme Carditis.  It can be frightening to say the least.  I was never one to do antibiotics, but I did plenty of anti microbial’s, herbals, supplements and later the FIGHT lifelong daily detox and don’t have those problems today.  Reducing heavy metals and reducing my total body burden of pathogens and toxins has been God sent to me.  You don’t have to use the brands that I chose, but I know the products I used worked, and are still working for me.   I have battled (5) Cancers, (2) Lyme infections, COPD, Arthritis, CHF, Varestrongylus Klapowi worm, and several other health woes, however once I woke up and made the right lifestyle changes, the battles I fought became much easier.  Giving up GMO foods, removing all the toxins,chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, and toxic cleaning supplies from my home made this healing and detox journey much easier. Being a southern cook, it wasn’t as hard as I anticipated to make cooking changes.  My recipes have become just as delicious.  Did I complain when making these changes, you betcha I did.  However, when I begin my research on all the no no’s in my life and finding out the Cancers were environmental Cancers, threw me right into the mission of making changes.  Once I stopped complaining to my self it was much easier.  It became a challenge to prove to myself I could make these changes.  In the beginning I never told my family that they were eating gluten free or Buffalo meat.  When they began to tell me that they knew something was different, but it tasted good to them, I finally admitted about the gluten free and Buffalo.

Cardiac involvement occurring early in Borrelia burgdorferi infection is a clinical manifestation of human Lyme disease. Therefore, two patients with acute complete atrioventricular heart blocks and unexplained recurrent dizziness were studied. Both patients had significantly elevated serum titers of IgM and IgG antibodies to B. burgdorferi. Right ventricular subendocardial biopsies showed dense infiltrates consisting of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Silver staining revealed spirochetes characteristic of B. burgdorferi near and in the infiltrates, between the muscle fibers, and in the endocardium. One patient responded to penicillin; the other did not, necessitating installation of a pacemaker. Thus, permanent heart damage may result from cardiac involvement in Lyme disease. Continued

Linda’s comment:  This was true several years ago, but today it can be dangerous.  Yes children need to build immunities, BUT playing is pesticides, herbicides, Round-UP, etc., etc., can be VERY toxic for our children.  Look what happened in the Lake of the Ozark.  Children were playing in a very toxic creek and didn’t know it!!  Our rivers are dirty from toxic waste dumping, even our fish are becoming Frankenstein Fish, with many unable to lay eggs.  Our tap waters, river waters, creek waters are full of the drugs many folks take.  I live in Arizona and I have a friend that works for Game and Fish, and he tells me when they test the waters around the state, they find birth control, plaxil, antibiotics, etc., etc., etc.  The local water departments can not remove these drugs, so we play, bath, cook and drink this toxic water.

Dirt today can be dangerous.  Finding a good spa that can give us great mud baths is God sent.  But, to let our children enjoy the days we had as children is all but gone.  Just be careful when letting your children play in dirt and mud, as it could also be giving them new disease.  Who know?  Just be safe and do some research to find your own answers. Continued

Linda’s comment’s:  It isn’t just Chinese drywall, drywall in general contains formaldehyde and that is just as dangerous.  There are companies that have what we call “clean” drywall.  If you can’t find one, let your drywall sit outside in the hottest sun for several days, and/or rent an Ozone machine to outgas the drywall.  You would of course have to leave your home while the Ozone machine is running.

Don’t forget that kitchen cabinets also are full of Formaldehyde.  Be careful of grout fillings, glue, and carpets.  Many are not chemical sensitive and your body might not react to these chemicals, but that is not good either, as you have NO warning.  At least if you are chemical sensitivity your body lets you know pretty quickly.  I personally am like a Canary.  I can walk into a building, room, new construction, even retail stores and sense these dangerous chemicals.  Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target and most clothing stores are full of pesticides from the clothing they are selling.  Remember to wash clothes, etc., etc., at least 3 times before wearing.  Please don’t look at your body reaction as a burden, be thankful that your body reacts, so that you can remove yourself.  When I buy new tires for my car I react to the tires.  Bicycle shops are out.

Just remember that these are very harmful chemicals and be thankful that you react.  Being an informed person could very well save your life.  Why now and not previous years?  The chemicals that are used are made with cheap materials, that were not used years ago.  Be careful of stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot, they are full of pesticides,herbicides,paints, treated woods and more.

They say that 85% of Cancers today are environmental.  I provide my body with the right detox methods, so I am neutralizing these chemical assaults, while replenishing my body with the right herbals, supplements and nutrients.  Buyer Beware!!

Linda’s comment.  All the more reason why you don’t eat GMO and moving into the world of organics is the safest way to save your health.   We must begin to make the move to cook only FRESH foods.  Soups are best is home-made and we all know that.  As consumers, WE CAN control the industry.  If consumers just STOP BUYING, then the industry will change.  It happened with baby bottles, so why can’t it happen with canned foods??  JUST SAY NO to canned foods. Continued

Linda’s comment….Thank you Dr Mercola for speaking up.  I had and still do have toxic reactions when around Roundup or around an area that has used Roundup.  It is criminal in my opinion that the government has allowed Monsanto to produce this deadly toxin.  Why you ask does our government allow this to happen…..easy answer….FOLLOW THE MONEY….yep, money is more important.
 
There are a few things you can do to neutralize the toxins your body absorbs from these toxins and that is to get on a good detox program/protocol.  I have found that FIGHT is an excellent lifelong daily detox protocol….
 
We are hit by 500 to 600 toxins from our environment on a daily basis….then you have them shoving GMO foods and vaccines at you….Our bodies can’t handle these daily assault’s and therefore it is left up to US, YOU and ME to began a good daily detox programs to help neutralize these toxins that we are being slammed with….
 
BTW, if you want to get rid of weeds there is a simple NON-toxic answer…..I make it up by the gallon….take one gallon of Heinz white vinegar, pour a cup of Morton’s toxic salt in the bottle then add 2 tablespoons of  Dawn dishwashing detergent…shake well and pour or use a squirt bottle on the weed and it will die within a few days….safe, non-toxic and you can pound your chest that you did not contribute to our toxic world….<big smile>
 
Again, I want to thank Dr Mercola for being so out-spoken ….now let us all start speaking up.  We consumers can begin to control this toxic world by STOP BUYING THE TOXIC PRODUCTS…
 
Regards,
Linda

France Finds Monsanto Guilty of Lying
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
November 21 2009 | 36,068 views

France’s highest court has ruled that U.S. agrochemical giant Monsanto had not told the truth about the safety of its best-selling weed-killer, Roundup. The court confirmed an earlier judgment that Monsanto had falsely advertised its herbicide as “biodegradable” and claimed it “left the soil clean.” Roundup is the world’s best-selling herbicide.

Linda’s comment:  Yikes….the Brits are as careless as the Americans!!??  I’m hoping that everyone will read this article closely, and I mean close….facial moisturizers, perfumes, deodorants and various other make-up products are made up of hundreds of chemicals that we are putting on our bodies daily…this must stop and each and everyone of us needs to make a pack with yourself to try and get at least one person a day to stop dosing their bodies with these toxic chemicals….Ladies need to think about their lungs, breast and ovaries, while men need to think about their lungs and prostate.  This isn’t to say that these chemicals will not attack other places in our bodies, but those seem to stand out in the news today when talking about Cancers.
 
“Moisturizer can contain over 30 different chemicals and perfume up to 400,it added.”  This is a scary statement but TRUE….then you walk out your door in the morning and proceed to get slammed with hundreds more environmental chemicals and toxins….how much can our bodies take…well sorry to say not much folks,  However, we CAN neutralize these assults as I have done by using the lifelong daily detox program called FIGHT.  You can use anything you choose, but I found after trying many many different protocols and programs the FIGHT program was the best for me.  I know the products are balanced and not full of garbage….you can find the FIGHT webinar on www.gordonresearch.com …It will open up your eyes and might scare some of you….although I don’t like scare tactics, I’m hoping that your toxic bodies are paying attention.  Give it 90 days and you will be as grateful as I am for finally finding something that worked for me…
 
Learn to READ labels and BEWARE and very CAUTIOUS when purchasing these toxic products…

Linda

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - The average British woman “hosts” 515 chemicals on
her body every day, according to a new study.

The poll of 2,016 women by deodorant-maker Bionsen said most of the
pollutants are self-inflicted by women who sprayed on deodorant, slapped on
body moisturizer and applied lipstick each morning. Continued
