206 Million Pounds of Chemicals Hit Our Waterways in One Year

Commentary: This report by the EARPC confirms prior reports by the CDC and Environmental Protection Agency that we are constantly being exposed to a wide variety of toxins in the environment. Many environmental chemicals act as foreign based estrogens which have been linked to various forms of cancer, and Harvard recently reported on the relationship of some of these chemicals with rising rates of autism.

The Lyme-MSIDS patients who come to see me often test positive for a variety of heavy metals (especially mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium and aluminum), and some of my sickest patients are also testing positive for mold toxins. Chronic infections and toxins, combined with an inability to properly detoxify chemicals, are some of the most important points on the 16 point MSIDS map keeping many patients ill. These factors may also be responsible for the rising rates of certain chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s. Please read the article below, and then the blog that I did a while ago for Psychology Today, on whether dementia and ADHD are preventable diseases…We need a much broader approach to health care, which includes chronic infections and toxins, if we are to stem the tide of chronic illness in the US and the world.
