What Defense Do We Have Against Toxic Consumer Products?


With all the be-partisan discourse involving health care, we’d better not depend on it in the long run. There’s too much opposition to a completely healthy nation. Apparently it’s a privilege, not a right. Therefore, should all who don’t have some form of effective health insurance and or money to pay for medicine, prepare to die sooner than everyone else? Unfortunately health insurance does not shield a society from the full effects of toxic consumption. Everything we ingest from foods to aspirins to toothpaste, detergent, and deodorant are laden with poisonous preservatives that have been proven to cause cancer in lab animals.
            The natural base components of most of these necessary everyday items don’t cause the real harm. What comes from the earth was masterfully designed to sustain life. The synthetic elements used to distribute nature’s bounty are the culprits. To prevent foods from spoiling, losing their taste and color before they can reach the public, is the main reason preservatives are used. Shelf life is essential to trade. Therefore, how a country produces its commodities ultimately determines how healthy its people are. The same special interest groups who fight to reduce regulations of consumer product safety are the same who oppose universal health care.
            Just fifty years ago there were far fewer cancer cases, and there were far fewer consumer products. What can we do to balance out the damage caused by the preservatives that block nutrients and kill healthy blood cells? As ordinary citizens we are of course all vulnerable to decisions made by those who are automatically protected from the damage they cause. There is a silver lining though. We have the power to literally destroy the destruction. We can first off, eat less food, use less consumer products, exercise more, and most importantly, soak up more sun. It is the absolute most powerful source of energy on earth. It is also the most effective healing agent capable of preventing and reversing cancer and most all diseases.
