Toxic Industrial Chemicals Found in Umbilical Blood Samples!

~~That's right, believe it or not chemicals including DDT, polychlorinated biphenols (PCB's), teflon chemicals including perflorooctynyl sulfonate (PFOS), and perflorooctynoic acid (PFOA), as well as brominated flame retardants, lead and mercury compounds, and dioxins have been found in fetal umbilical cord blood samples. I know this sounds crazy and certainly unbelievable, but it is true. You see, chemicals that we put on and put in our bodies, as I say in our Cleanse Classes, will accumulate in our bodies. The really sad part though is that they also pass through the maternal blood supply into the fetal blood.  So, you see that we are not only "polluting" ourselves, but we are also polluting our next generation through our life-style choices, and our actions. Many of these chemicals manage to cross the protective placental barrier and enter the fetal blood stream. This sad fact is evidence that our innocent next generation is toxic at the moment of birth, in spite of the fact that these helpless little humans have never directly interacted with their environments until the day that they drew their first breaths of the toxic air that we breathe. Only at that point do they begin accumulating toxins on their own.
 
Since this is "Cord Blood Awareness Month" (I know, I found that one hard to believe too) I felt that we should revisit this important issue once more. Much of the research on this subject has been accomplished by the Environmental Working Group. This organization is a wonderful resource which has published a great deal of research on the subject of toxicity. We all have to recognize that the substances which we ingest, inhale, or slather on our bodies do enter into our bodies, and often times remain in our bodies for years or even the rest of our entire lifetime.
 
Toxic substances such as "glyphosate" or what you commonly call "Roundup®" which is a weed killer marked by the chemical manufacturing giant Monsanto have been shown to be linked to numerous diseases. One study which was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that individuals exposed to this toxic chemical had twice the potential of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They further found that those individuals exposed to 2,4-D, another toxic weed killer manufactured by Dow Chemical, had a 40% increased risk of developing this disease. The researchers theorize that these chemicals are altering the DNA or the white blood cells, thereby weakening the body's immune system and its ability to fight off disease.
 
Researchers in Norway found extreme levels of glyphosate on genetically modified corn. This is the type that most of you eat unless you are truly organic. This corn is genetically engineered to withstand the "blasts" of glyphosate that are used to control the weed growth around the corn. You see over the years the weeds have become more resistant to the glyphosate (Roundup®) and as a result the farmers have used more and more glyphosate to control the weed growth.
 
You can see that this situation is similar to what I have described to you in the past with respect to the antibiotic abuse that has occurred over the last 60-70 years. In a similar way to what we have seen with the development of "Super-Bugs" which are antibiotic resistant, we are now seeing the development of "Super-Weeds" which are resistant to the use of these extremely toxic chemicals.
 
So, what do we do about this problem which appears to growing exponentially? First, you make sure that you are not using these horrible chemicals, which have been proven now to cause genetic mutations and cancerous changes in the human body.  Second, avoid GMO (genetically modified foods) which have been genetically altered so that they are resistant to the herbicidal effects of these horrible chemicals. Third, do everything in your power politically, economically, and socially to get the word out to tell your legislators, your grocers, and your friends and family that your are aware of this problem and that you are not going to tolerate it any longer. Share this e-mail or newsletter with others. Get the word out.
 
You see this problem is not only affecting us as adults, but unbelievably even human fetuses in-utero. This is not debatable any longer, it is a fact! You need to do your part to see that it changes. If you don't feel that it is affecting you directly you are unfortunately mistaken. If you don't feel that this problem is important enough, you are once again mistaken. Get involved, and let's see that we make sure this these disease producing toxic chemicals are banned from our planet forever.
 
There is one last thing that you can do. That is to join us for our "Fall Full System Cleanse Program". If you haven't done it before, it is time. If you have, it is probably time to do it again. Tell your friends, family, and loved ones about this program that will decrease your toxic load of chemicals
We will show you this with the objective testing that we will perform "Pre" and "Post" Cleanse to demonstrate this to you.  Simply call Kerry at the Center for Nutrition and Wellness (215-679-WELL (9355)) to sign up. Or you can e-mail Kerry.
