"In 1973, a study conducted by the Department of Occupational Health at Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem found a significantly higher concentration of such toxic compounds as DDT and pcb's in cancerous breast tissue of women compared with the normal breast and adjacent adipose tissue in the same women. (although on scanning images they show up as dark masses or shadows). While doing their precious job, fungi produce compounds with biological activity." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Because toxicity is channeled to the liver of animals, fish liver oil is likely to contain large doses of pcb's. We must keep in mind that, either we filter out what we are allowing into our bodies, or we ourselves will become a filter. I knew of a case involving a long-time raw animal-food eater in Hawaii, who was eating up to 5 pounds (2.2 kilograms) of fish a week, discovered he had a mercury level of 16, where 1.5 is considered a dangerously high level. If you or someone you know has eaten large quantities of fish, raw or cooked, please consider testing for mercury." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"In fact, pcb's half-life is 8.4 years, meaning that after 8.4 years, only half the PCB in your body will have been eliminated. Studies of women poisoned during two major accidents involving PCB consumption, one in Japan and one in Taiwan, found that their babies were very small, had skin and nail deformities, and suffered psychomotor impairment.296 Much of the transfer of the poison was via breast milk. Again, don't be overcomforted by reports that PCB-use has been severely restricted. As with many of these long-lasting compounds, PCBs bioconcentrate in the food chain." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"These fluids show DDT, pcb's, dioxins, and heavy metals in breast milk. These carcinogenic materials contribute to breast cancer especially if they remain static. During nipple stimulation and orgasm in nursing mothers, post reproductive, premenopausal or postmenopausal women, oxytocin is produced and this helps clear the breast of trapped secretions. This affords a good explanation for why the incidence of breast cancer is lower among sexually active women than non-sexually active women of the same age. Dr." - James A.

"Bluefish Tainted with pcb's, and considered inedible from July, 1988 on in America. In France, the 1-mile deep-sea Great Bluefish were caught by ancient Celts and Romans and fermented with salt to make nutritional Garum Armoricum fish extract having Neuropeptides like in human nerve cells improving well-being 75%, mood, alertness, sleep 39%, lessens mental fatigue 44%, anxiety 20% (in asthenics, without side effects or sedation like Valium), and depression 27%." - Joseph E.

"The effects of pcb's on health have been reviewed recently by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (1978) and the Subcommittee on the Health Effects of Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Polybrominated Biphenyls (1978). Initial concern about the adverse health effects of various commercial PCB mixtures originated when chloracne and hepatic changes were observed among workers engaged in the production of these compounds (Schwartz, 194 3). The gradual realization that pcb's are highly toxic and exceedingly persistent in the environment led the U.S." - Committee on Diet, Nutrition, and Cancer, Assembly of Life Sciences National Research Council, Diet, Nutrition and Cancer (Get the book.) "From experiments in which pcb's were tested as promoting agents, it appears that Kanechlor 400 and 500 enhance hepatocarcinogenicity of 3-methyl-4-aminoazobenzene (3'-DMAB) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) in rats and of lindane in mice, whereas Kanechlor 500 when administered to rats simultaneously with the carcinogen inhibited the hepatocarcinogenicity of 3'-DMAB, 2-AAF, and NDEA (Makiura et al., 1974). Aroclor 1221 and 1268 are mutagenic, and have been shown to induce microsomal activation in the Ames test (Wyndham et al., 1976).

"Brown and Jones (1981) reported a retrospective study of 2,567 workers employed for at least 3 months in plants using pcb's. The total mortality from all causes and mortality from cancers were lower than expected, but were slightly, although not significantly, excessive (3 vs. 1.07 expected) for liver cancer. Experimental Evidence. A number of experiments have been conducted in laboratory animals to test the carcinogenicity of various pcb's." - Committee on Diet, Nutrition, and Cancer, Assembly of Life Sciences National Research Council, Diet, Nutrition and Cancer (Get the book.) "Daily dietary intakes measured between 1974 and 1977 indicated that pcb's had dropped to levels well below the tolerance levels in individual foods (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 1980b). pcb's also tend to accumulate in the adipose tissue of humans, in milk, and in blood (Kutz and Strassman, 1976). Epidemiological Evidence." - Committee on Diet, Nutrition, and Cancer, Assembly of Life Sciences National Research Council, Diet, Nutrition and Cancer (Get the book.)

"Toxic chemicals such as pcb's can interfere with normal hormonal functioning and normal thyroid gland functioning. pcb's have been shown to lower thyroid hormone levels in rats.14 Sauna therapy has been shown to help the body release heavy metals. Mercury and nickel can be released in sweat.15 16 By reducing toxic metal levels, all of the endocrine functions will improve, including thyroid function. I believe that sauna therapy is extremely beneficial in helping the body attain optimal health by releasing heavy metals and improving the lymph system." - David Brownstein, Overcoming Thyroid Disorders (Get the book.)
