"A proper medical evaluation discovered Warren was color-blind, his EEG showed abnormal but non specific brain wave patterns and a carbon monoxide assay revealed a blood saturation of this deadly gas at the dangerous 20% level. carbon monoxide was displacing the oxygen in Warren's bloodstream, drastically reducing the supply of oxygen to his brain. His fidgeting, falling academic performance and purposeless hyper behavior were all symptoms of low-level carbon monoxide poisoning. Warren's parents immediately called the gas company and had their heating system overhauled." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Or perhaps you're driving and feeling anxious, not realizing that one of the things you may be responding to is the carbon monoxide fumes coming at you. Natural treatment, in addition to that described earlier in this chapter, may involve acupuncture and massage. Both, according to Dr. Freeman, "essentially find a way to reorganize the body's natural chemistries." An acupuncrurist can read your body through your pulses. They understand that different organs hold different emotions." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Wild tuna steaks, which are naturally red, tend to turn brown when exposed to air or when frozen, so seafood companies spray them with carbon monoxide to keep this from happening. You probably prefer red tuna ?it looks fresher. You will not be harmed by this treatment, but you might be tricked into thinking that the tuna is freshly caught when it may have been caught days ago (or weeks ago, if frozen). Japan, Canada, and the European Union do not allow carbon monoxide spraying." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"It rapidly converts deadly carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide, which is easily eliminated in the lungs. This allows the red blood cells to again absorb oxygen, and deliver it to the brain as nature intended. For serious carbon monoxide poisoning, giving vitamin C intravenously is recommended. We must seriously ask ourselves why years ago, no one ever heard of giving children drugs to control their behavior, or for depression. Back then, we somehow did just fine without them." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"At Hunts Point, idling annually generates 32 tons of nitrogen oxides, 31 tons of carbon monoxide and 9.6 tons of soot particles and other volatile compounds that coat the lungs of anyone within breathing distance of the market. Little wonder the South Bronx has one of the highest asthma rates in the United States. Efforts are being made to reduce emissions, but the pollution-enforcement car looks abandoned. It's parked off to the side, badly dented. I'm greeted at the entrance by Hunts Point's executive director, Myra Gordon." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Instead of using readily available pills (he was a medical doctor) or a gun (he owned pistols), Frank had contrived to disable the catalytic converter on his car so that he could kill himself with carbon monoxide poisoning. Typical of manic planning—elaborate, grandiose, and futile—Frank had bought special tools and obtained detailed instructions on the project. After trying to deactivate the catalytic converter, he climbed into his car and turned on the gas, hoping to poison himself. It didn't work—his car's catalytic converter was not sufficiently impaired—and he survived." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "After his capture by the police, an elevated carbon monoxide level in Frank's blood confirmed that he had attempted and failed to poison himself with automobile exhaust. Neither Dr. Frank Karmack nor anyone else involved in his criminal case understood that he was spellbound by an antidepressant and thereby severely disturbed at the time of the assault. No one seemed to realize that Frank remained out of his mind during his defense preparation and trial." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Just to list a few, cigarettes include carbon monoxide, tar, arsenic and lead. In 2006, researchers from the University of Florida discovered that cigarette smoke can turn normal breast cells cancerous by blocking their ability to repair themselves, eventually causing tumor development. In other words, the toxins in cigarette smoke prevent a damaged cell from making repairs to itself. This explains why smoking is associated with such a high risk of cancer. The risk of developing smoking-related cancers increases with total lifetime exposure to cigarette smoke." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Japan, Canada, and the European Union do not allow carbon monoxide spraying. But in the United States, if tuna steaks are bright red, you have to assume that they were treated with carbon monoxide to maintain the color. The treatment is unlikely to be stated on labels because it does not have to be; if you want to know, you have to ask. If you think that feeding synthetic canthaxanthin to fish is antithetical to organic principles (and you would be right), you might wonder how "organically" raised farmed salmon get so pink." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"In 1994,1 became disabled due to carbon monoxide poisoning. I am still in the process of recovery. I no longer work. I cannot look at computer screens. Surgery for two detached retinas affected my eyesight. My blood pressure was extremely high. My heartbeat accelerated to a dangerous level. I took several pharmaceutical drugs to control these conditions. A few years later, seizures began with Alzheimer-like symptoms. Abnormally severe edema in my legs incapacitated me. I was in a coma for sixty days. Nursing home care was considered. My health took an upward turn on the Gary Null protocol." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"You should be aware that some dangerous indoor pollutants are totally odorless. carbon monoxide, for one, can escape from space heaters, furnaces, stoves, and other appliances, especially when you're not ventilating them properly. carbon monoxide poisoning from space heaters alone causes over two hundred people a year to die in the United States, and there have been many others who are exposed to carbon monoxide levels that exceed health standards and who are subtly sickened by the gas without realizing it. That's why every household should have a carbon monoxide detector." - Gary Null, Gary Null's Power Aging (Get the book.)

"The substances that make up air pollution include gases such as sulfur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide; particulate matter such as smoke, dust, fumes, and aerosols; pesticides, chemicals, toxic elements, radioactive materials, and several other substances. These are considered primary air pollutants, meaning they are generated directly from a source or process. Then there are also secondary air pollutants formed in the air when primary pollutants react or interact. Ground-level ozone, which makes up photochemical smog, is a classic example of this." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Some of these chemicals include: lead, carbon monoxide, vinyl chloride, hydrogen cyanide, benzene, ammonia, acetone, and nicotine. Nicotine is a powerful nerve stimulant, is extremely toxic, and is the most addictive drug known. It is so powerful that if two or three drops were taken internally at once, it would kill the average person. Anyone who smokes tobacco is putting themselves and those around them, as well as their future offspring, at risk. The most important thing a smoker can do to improve their own health, and the health of those who live and work with them, is to stop smoking." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"In just one hour cooking at 180°C a gas oven emits enough carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide fumes to trigger an allergic attack. Use lead-free paint and petrol. Wash your clothes (and your dishes) in detergent-free biodegradable washing soda or soap. Chemicals in washing powders cling to garments and then penetrate your skin. Buy clothes made from natural fibres like cotton or wool, not synthetics. Choose cosmetics, perfumes, soaps and hair products made from plant extracts rather than mineral oils. Use an electric razor and ordinary ice water as an astringent." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Carbon monoxide, for one, can escape from space heaters, furnaces, stoves, and other appliances, especially when you're not ventilating them properly. carbon monoxide poisoning from space heaters alone causes over two hundred people a year to die in the United States, and there have been many others who are exposed to carbon monoxide levels that exceed health standards and who are subtly sickened by the gas without realizing it. That's why every household should have a carbon monoxide detector. Then there is radon gas, another odorless and invisible pollutant." - Gary Null, Gary Null's Power Aging (Get the book.)

"Cigarette smoke contains more than 2,500 chemicals, and both nicotine and carbon monoxide are thought to be related to adverse outcomes in pregnancy. Smoking nicotine has been associated with several complications of pregnancy. It appears to double a woman's risk of developing placental problems,124 including placenta previa (a low-lying placenta that covers part or all of the opening of the uterus), placental abruption (the placenta peels partially or completely away from the uterine wall prior to delivery), and premature rupture of the membranes." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"The gaseous contaminants are nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. If these build up in your house, they can cause chronic bronchitis, headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue—even death. Carbon monoxide is one of the most immediately hazardous pollutants. carbon monoxide poisoning accounts for one-half of the fatal poisonings in the United States each year. Dangerous exposure may occur before one is aware of the problem, and chronic exposure can have serious effects. Faulty gas appliances alone account for 300 carbon monoxide deaths a year." - Linda Mason Hunter, The Healthy Home: An Attic-to-Basement Guide to Toxin-Free Living (Get the book.)

"Priapism can also be a sign of carbon monoxide poisoning as well as alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and other drug abuse. In addition, it can signal a spinal cord injury or disease, as well as an injury to the penis. Priapism is considered a medical emergency that, if untreated, can lead to serious scarring and permanent ED. WARNING SIGN Erectile dysfunction (ED) may be the earliest warning sign of heart disease. In fact, according to some recent studies, coronary heart disease tends to crop up about 3 years after the ED.The more severe the ED, the more serious the heart disease." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) "Or the lack of oxygen could occur because you're a serious smoker and the carbon monoxide in the smoke is robbing your lungs and other organs of oxygen. Your blue lips could also be telling you that you're iron-deficient (anemic). WARNING SIGN If your lips are blue and you're pregnant, you may be iron-deficient.This is a fairly common and potentially serious problem during pregnancy. BURNING,TINGLING LIPS OR MOUTH Lips and mouth that tingle, burn, or even feel numb at the end of a romantic evening may be signs of a . . , ." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"For example, if air is moderately high in lead, and also moderately high in carbon monoxide, it can escape the attention of federal regulators, but still create such a high cumulative toxic burden that some people can get sick from it. Because toxins are a major cause of asthma, kids with asthma often respond dramatically to programs of detoxification. As their bodies gradually become cleansed of toxins, their inflammation decreases, and they suffer markedly less from asthma. These are the three most important root sources of the inflammation that leads to asthma." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"This makes the carbon monoxide of cigarette smoke a slow-working but lethal poison that, by forming excessive amounts of protein debris, destroys the body's circulatory network and heart muscles. Also, passive smokers inhale large amounts of carbon monoxide, which explains why they share a similar risk of developing coronary heart disease as active smokers. 4." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"To avoid carbon monoxide—induced migraines, do the following: • Make sure gas-powered cooking ranges, fuel-burning heaters, furnaces, and chimneys are inspected regularly to ensure proper function and no leakage of carbon monoxide. • Consider replacing your gas range with an electric one. • Install a carbon monoxide detector in your home. • Don't run your car in a closed garage. • Ban cigarette smoking in your home and in your presence. (Carbon monoxide is a by-product of cigarette smoke." - Alexander Mauskop, Barry Fox, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Migraines: The Breakthrough Program That Can Help End Your Pain (Get the book.)

"Gas appliances—emit gas fumes, carbon monoxide. Kerosene lamps and heaters—kerosene fumes, carbon monoxide. Fireplaces and woodstoves—emit chemicals in wood, carbon monoxide. Particleboard—urea-formaldehydepossibly carcinogenic. Foam insulation—urea-formaldehyde foam insulator (UFFI)—carcinogenic, banned in 1982 but later reapproved. HOME PESTICLDES These range from mildly dangerous to very dangerous. Rodent killers—mousetraps, arsenic, strychnine, phosphorus—deadly if eaten. Insecticides—all kinds, for various bugs. Pyrethrum, a plant extract, is useful." - Elson M. Haas, M.D., Staying Healthy with Nutrition: The Complete Guide to Diet and Nutritional Medicine (Get the book.)

"Carbon monoxide is one of the most immediately hazardous pollutants. carbon monoxide poisoning accounts for one-half of the fatal poisonings in the United States each year. Dangerous exposure may occur before one is aware of the problem, and chronic exposure can have serious effects. Faulty gas appliances alone account for 300 carbon monoxide deaths a year. Poorly ventilated kitchens and rooms over or next to garages top the list of sites that can have dangerously high levels of this gas." - Linda Mason Hunter, The Healthy Home: An Attic-to-Basement Guide to Toxin-Free Living (Get the book.)

"Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the biggest concerns with tobacco use, both because of the direct effects of nicotine on the circulatory system (irritation and increased atherosclerosis) and the effects of other agents, such as carbon monoxide in inhaled smoke, which displaces oxygen. carbon monoxide reduces the delivery of vital oxygen, our key life force, to all of our cells. Even low-tar cigarettes have high levels of carbon monoxide. Because of reduced oxygen delivery, our body makes more red blood cells (polycythemia), which can thicken the blood and further slow the circulation." - Elson M.

"Lead or Toxic Paint 16. carbon monoxide 1 7. Oil & Gas Fumes that can be directly connected to the toxic agents pervading the air of the building. Building occupants complaining of temporary symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, nausea, headache, dry cough, concentration difficulties, or eye, nose, and throat irritation are probably suffering from Sick Building Syndrome. In this situation, most symptoms subside after leaving the particular building. Occupants suffering prolonged symptoms even after leaving a building are more likely to have Building Related Illness." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Severe carbon monoxide exposure can cause heart attacks (as in the case of Sidney Shaw) or silent death, the fate that befell tennis star Vitas Gerulaitis when sleeping in a friend's guest cottage. carbon monoxide is the commonest cause of death by poisoning in the United States. Acute carbon monoxide intoxication may produce headache, lethargy, hyperactivity, irritability, confusion, bizarre behavior, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, blackout spells, and seizures. Acute poisoning may be followed by evidence of brain damage two to four weeks later." - Leo Galland, Power Healing: Use the New Integrated Medicine to Cure Yourself (Get the book.)

"The primary hazard is carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that is produced when fuels do not burn completely. Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are much like flu symptoms and include sleepiness, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, irritability, and an inability to concentrate. If you or anyone in your family seems to be sick all winter, you might want to check your heater. carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal." - Debra Lynn Dadd, Nontoxic, Natural and Earthwise (Get the book.)

"Biofuels reduce tailpipe emissions of particulates, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons, compared with conventional diesel fuel. And biofuels support the American agricultural economy." This amazing quote came from a speech by Chrysler Group President and CEO Tom LaSorda on January 23, 2006, at the Detroit Economic Club.25 Meantime, Bill Ford said that his company is now going to shift its focus to flex-fuel vehicles, where he thinks Ford could outpace or compete with its Japanese rivals (who thus far had no flex-fuel vehicles to speak of in the United States).

"Nobody, not a single psychiatrist, social worker, psychologist, or teacher would listen to Cindy when she said he was not any of these things, but was a child whose brain had been damaged from the carbon monoxide poisoning when he was three. The psychotic episodes that forced the hospitalizations were due to the multiple drugs he was on—polypharmacy. None of his so-called psychiatric illnesses were real or the cause of the psychosis." - Fred A.
