#13. third pillar - Chemical detox is vital

It would take a textbook to talk about personal pollution and the dire negative
health effects of the environment we are living in. Even eskimo mothers now
have chemical toxins in their milk. Little babies in remote climes cannot avoid
what I have christened the “Chemical Blizzard”.


I get asked a lot about “organic food”. Well, what does that mean when the very
sky rains chemicals and pollution on all your nice clean “organic” crops? Not a
lot.


We are faced with so-called brown clouds pollution. This is mostly made up of
miniscule particles called aerosols. Aerosols consist of sulfates, nitrates, black
carbon, hundreds of organic compounds, and fly ash. When sunlight is absorbed
and scattered by aerosols, it creates a brown colored haze. Satellite data reveal
thick, polluted haze layers scattered all over the globe, from populated regions to
the once-pristine Alps, the Himalayas, and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.


One of the main sources of this pollution today is China! Ironically, because
of prevailing winds, Chinese atmospheric pollution is raining down on North
America. Streams of yellowish dust have been seen streaming across the Pacific
since 1998. Mercury emitted by power plants and factories in China, Korea and
other parts of Asia wafts over to the USA and settles into the nation’s lakes and
streams, where it contributes to pollution that makes fish unsafe to eat. Solid
particles from Asian primitive oil and coal burning is now a source of solid sooty
deposits high in the pristine mountains anywhere you go in the US. Birds are
being poisoned as far inland as Payson Arizona, where the trees are thick-crusted
with Chinese effluvia.


What has all this to do with cancer?


If you follow Sam Epstein’s writings, everything. Dr. Sam Epstein is a Professor
of Occupational Health and Environmental Medicine at the University of Illinois
School of Public Health and he is recognized as perhaps the world’s most
influential critic of cancer policy. Dr Epstein provides copious evidence that
chemical pollution is one of the major causes for the soaring cancer rates.


Epstein’s book The Politics of Cancer (now TPC revisited) documents a great
many disturbing facts, including the fact that cancer charities are actively
opposing progress in alternative treatments, because of corruption. He also
