 "It has antioxidant properties, making it a scavenger of free radicals caused by exposure to radiation and chemical pollutants.
Bee pollen has been found to enhance energy, stamina, and strength, and to improve the performance levels of athletes. It has also been shown to help reduce symptoms of allergies, hayfever, and asthma. By starting with a small amount, say Vs of a teaspoon, and gradually building up to one or several teaspoons per day, most people can enjoy the nutritional and therapeutic benefits of this natural food."- Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Fiber absorbs and holds toxins from chemical pollutants, dead cells, and waste matter in the colon for elimination. Without adequate fiber, complete elimination is almost impossible. Fiber is the broom and sponge of the intestinal tract. It prevents constipation, hemorrhoids, and diverticulitis, and may play a role in controlling weight, regulating blood sugars, and reducing the risk of heart disease and some cancers. Fiber absorbs many times its weight in water, resulting in softer, bulkier stools. When extra fiber is added to the diet, the intake of water should be increased also." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Digestive system from dying cells, chemical pollutants, and non-foods that may have been taken into the body. These are filtered out of the bloodstream by the liver and sent to the colon for elimination from the body. Chlorine and alcohol are particularly harmful to the liver's health. The basic building blocks, or starter hormones, for the endocrine system are also manufactured in the liver from complete amino acids, which are only supplied from raw protein in the diet. The liver is truly magnificent and definitely one of the master organs of the body." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) |
 "One hundred percent of us—no matter where or how we live—are laced with chemical pollutants that are suspected to cause cancer, disrupt hormone functioning, or lead to birth abnormalities. Most of these chemicals come directly from common consumer goods and food—not field trips to farms or accidents in a college chem lab. Whether we like it or not, we have to accept this fact and do what we can to address it. On a positive note, this will ultimately get us to where we want to be: a state of optimum physical, mental, and emotional health."- Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) |
 "Toxic exposures to chemical pollutants during these windows of increased susceptibility can cause disease and disability in infants, children and across the entire span of human life."
As I pointed out earlier, researchers haven't yet quantified the precise role environmental pollutants play in the growing number of birth defects we're seeing in this country; a recent estimate put the figure anywhere between 3 and 25 percent. We do know that roughly 2 to 3 percent of babies born today have a major birth defect, and about 18 percent of newborns are diagnosed with some minor structural anomaly."- Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) |
 "Autoimmune Diseases
The majority of cases of cancer are due to environmental factors - chiefly, the chemical pollutants in our air, water, soil, and food. These contaminants break down or block our natural immune defenses. To compound the problem of the toxins borne in our food, the nutrient-poor high-tech diet does not supply the nutrients needed to bolster our immune system. For example, the only substance known to increase cancer-fighting interferon production in the body is ascorbic acid, often deficient in the high-tech diet."- Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.) |
 "Among the typical stressors are toxic metals (mercury leaching from fillings, aluminum), petrochemical residues (from pesticides and fertilizers), chemical pollutants (in the water and air), electromagnetic pollution (from power lines), undiagnosed food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, biochemical imbalances, insufficient exercise, and emotional stress. All these factors impinge on the immune system's natural ability to resist the downhill slide into illness."- Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac., Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Sleep Disorders: 7 Smart Ways to Help You Get a Good Night's Rest (Get the book.) |
 "Amino Acids and MSM-sulphur
One of the problems with chemical pollutants is that they damage the way our bodies break down, absorb, use, and manufacture amino acids. In fact, many people who get adequate amounts of amino acids in their diet remain deficient due to the antinutrient effects of chemicals. Certain amino acids are crucial to our ability to detoxify ourselves of chemical pollutants, particularly the harder to shift organochlorines. The amino acids that should be taken as supplements include methionine, cysteine, taurine, and glutathione."- Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, Toxic Overload: A Doctor's Plan for Combating the Illnesses Caused by Chemicals in Our Foods, Our Homes, and Our Medicine Cabinets (Get the book.) |
 "Professor Samuel Epstein had found that chemical pollutants in the air and water caused a further one in five of all cancers. Sir Douglas Black had rediscovered that poverty was still a major cause of illness in Britain, killing 75,000 people a year - or 200 a day. And it had been proved 'beyond reasonable doubt' that milk and dairy foods were killing thousands a year from heart attacks and an excess of salt was equally implicated in strokes."- Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.) |
 "The very young and the very old suffer the most from the effects of air pollution, but the duration of the exposure and the concentration of the chemical pollutants are important. Certain contaminants can, at high levels, cause severe injury or even death in short order.
Air pollution also causes damage to the environment and to the infrastructure. Trees, lakes, crops, and animals (both wild and domestic) are affected, as are buildings, bridges, monuments, and other man-made structures."- Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) |
 "Because, as I will soon explain, virtually all waterways in the United States are heavily contaminated with methylmercury or other chemical pollutants, the EPA's safety limits are invariably stricter than those of the FDA. The NRC writes reports and is just advisory, but if the FDA did what the NRC suggested in 2000, it would have to tell pregnant women that they should never eat albacore tuna and should only eat the cheaper kinds of canned tuna once a month if at all."- Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) |
 "They didn't have all the processed foods available today, they were more physically active, they got more sunshine and they didn't suffer from all the pesticides, chemical pollutants and food toxins that we have today. People lived longer and happier lives. In fact, there was a study just published before the writing of this book that showed people were much happier in 1948 than they are today, and that was following World War II. The war was a recent memory, and still people were happier than they are today."- Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) |
 "Fat in the blood and cells also cause chemical pollutants, such as lead and other heavy metals, to adhere in the body. Both chemical pollutants and radioactive elements become part of the system when the fat is broken down and used as fuel, thus releasing them into the bloodstream. chemical pollutants and radioactive elements destroy DNA in cells throughout the body, including the immune system. Such toxins are foreign to the body and therefore elicit a response from the immune system."- Tom Monte, The Way of Hope: Michio Kushi's Anti-Aids program (Get the book.) |

 "Some of these are nutritional deficiencies (and excesses) and others are due to environmental issues, including chemical pollutants, stress, and aging. A multitude of studies have found various items with positive links to the development of prostate disorders, as well as a plethora of items that can protect one's prostate health. There is no evidence, however, that any single item either causes or protects one from developing prostate disease."- James Occhiogrosso, N. D., Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life (Get the book.) |
 "Chemical pollutants tend to accumulate in the fattier tissues inthe Brain and liver.
Fats deposit on artery walls and neutralize the negative charge separating blood cells to allow clotting, or clumping of blood cells, saturated Fats are poor in Oxygen, lowering tissue Oxygen intake; they slow down blood flow by narrowing the arteries. Fats slow down the production of hydrochloric acid. Unsaturated Fats convert by heatingtohigh melting unhealthful stearic acids."- Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.) "May be from excess, or susceptibility to, radiation, x-rays, or chemical pollutants; a Selenium deficiency; ortail bone outofplace.

 "As a result, both chemical pollutants and indoor air allergens, such as dust and molds, tend to be at higher levels inside, rather than outside most homes. Quality room or furnace air purifiers and proper ventilation duct maintenance can significantly reduce some of these types of exposures.lb
• A major challenge can be related to termite control within new or other buildings. There appears to be no laws about which chemicals can or cannot be used if termites are a problem."- Doris J. Rapp, M.D., Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call (Get the book.) |
 "For example, stress from toxic environmental substances in our air, water, and food uses oxygen for detoxification. chemical pollutants, chlorine in water, and fumes from combustion of petrochemicals from our cars all require that we use our body supply of oxygen to protect us. Emotional stress produces excessive adrenalin and related adrenal hormones, which require oxygen for their metabolism. Physical trauma reduces circulation, and therefore the amount of oxygen to the cells is reduced."- Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.) |

 "The book concludes that a wide range of reproductive-related ills may be caused by chemical pollutants in the environment. Nonetheless, the subject remains controversial as three new studies, published in May 1996, challenged the thesis suggesting there hasn't been any significant change in the quantity or quality of sperm in the United States (New Orleans Times-Picayune, 5/26/96).
On June 17, 1996, USA Today reported studies that showed testicular cancer rates are rising sharply in the U.S. and Europe and may be due to environmental chemical pollutants."- Carl Jensen, 20 Years of Censored News (Get the book.) |

 "A grand total of 5,705,670,380 pounds of chemical pollutants were released into the environment we eat, breathe and live in, all in just one year.
To compromise our bodies' ability handle toxins even further, our food supply has become ever-more refined, processed and devoid of nutritional value. More and more artificial additives, colorings, flavorings and preservatives are being added to our food."- Antoinette Saville and Antony J. Haynes, Food Intolerance Bible (Get the book.) |
 "Bombarding your body with chemical pollutants, or eating too many foods at one time, or eating too fast, or gulping your food down on the run—you pay for it!
The state of your emotions is closely linked to your eating habits and your ability to process food. Being emotionally upset or under stress at all affects your appetite and your nourishment, while feeling happy and clear stimulates your hunger, digestive ability, utilization and appreciation of foods."- Elson M. Haas, Staying Healthy With the Seasons (Get the book.) |
