"I ask her what she thinks about the hygiene hypothesis as the primary explanation for rising rates of autoimmunity, at a time in our evolution when we're living in the most chemically polluted environment ever. To elucidate her answer, Fairweather, her warm blue eyes animated behind tortoiseshell glasses, lines up three eight-and-a-half by eleven sheets of paper, turns them horizontally, and lays them side by side in one thirty-three-inch stretch. As she talks she diagrams for me why, in her estimation, the too-clean theory is too flimsy to explain today's autoimmune epidemic." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"If you live in a very polluted environment, you put in antipollution devices. You balance yourself, give yourself time and peace and quiet. Training for a marathon is very immune depressive. Understanding the compensation factor, now I take some vitamin C drips. The amount I will have in my system is different than anyone else's because it's unique to my own system. Each person has their own unique needs. It deals with the energies and I'm not talking about viral or bacterial or blood sugar or glandular depletion." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"The medical mentality at its very worst overrides the Law of Selective Elimination with propaganda to program the people into thinking that the flesh and blood, nerve and brawn of the human body have a virtually unlimited ability to detoxify a virtually unlimited number of mild and even virulent toxins commonly served in the foods from the Standard American Diet, found in our polluted environment and omnipresent in prescription drugs." - Susan E.

"Improving Your Diet 95% of those reading this book do not have to worry about "too clean a diet", unless you live in an extremely polluted environment. There are a few reasons for this. Most people I encounter are not 100% Raw. There is a big difference in the body of a person who is 100% Raw versus even 95% Raw. At 100% Raw, each improvement in diet causes an exponential raise in sensitivity. The further you go down the "rabbit hole" of eating better quality and less quantity of food, the more sensitive you become." - Matt Monarch, Raw Success (Get the book.) "Yet, because of insufficient chewing, depleted soil, limited access to fresh organic foods, our polluted environment and heightened levels of stress, the issue of deficiency is real - for us all. In the next chapter I will continue to problem-solve this roadblock and offer certain foods and supplement suggestions that are important additions to Juicing. Organic? Eating mainly organic produce is key for long-term success on the 100% Raw Food Diet. It is a good goal to aim for, no matter which diet you follow. There are many reasons to choose organic; here are a few at the top of my list: 1." - Matt Monarch, Raw Success (Get the book.) "At this level of immaculate inner health, the long-term Raw Food Eater is more susceptible to our Earth's polluted environment, and toxic chemicals. It seems as if it is more advisable to become Raw at age 40 versus age 20. Is there a way around this? Yes, with Consistency, Cleansing and The Optimal Diet. {By the end of the book, this answer will be fully clear to you.} If you become Raw at age 25, in less than a decade, there is a great chance that your body will stabilize and start to age instead of becoming younger." - Matt Monarch, Raw Success (Get the book.)

"A ten-day fast can take care of many problems before they arise and help to fight off illness, including the degenerative diseases that have become so common in our chemically polluted environment. Certain precautions should be taken during fasts. First, do not fast on water alone. An all-water fast releases toxins too quickly, causing headaches and worse. Instead, follow the live-juice diet detailed below, as this both removes toxins and promotes healing by supplying the body with vitamins, minerals, and enzymes." - Phyllis A.

"Although many of us cannot completely avoid living in a polluted environment, we still can reduce our direct exposure to it to the least possible degree We have control over what we wear, eat, drink, put on our skin and hair, and how much time we spend outside in the fresh air.

"Although many antioxidants can be obtained from food sources such as sprouted grains and fresh fruits and vegetables, it is difficult to get enough of them from these sources to hold back the free radicals constantly being generated in our polluted environment. We can minimize free radical damage by taking supplements of key nutrients. A high intake of antioxidant nutrients appears to be especially protective against cancer." - Phyllis A.

"Because of the potential for debilitating illness from some short term and many long term chemical exposures and the possible need for prolonged expensive treatment, some individuals find they feel much better and regain their health most quickly if they simply abandon their present polluted environment. Trying to clean it up on your own can lead to more harmful exposure and potentially more debilitating illness. (See Chapter 10.) For a Very Few It is fortunately rare for individuals to be so seriously ill that they must entirely change their type of employment and way of life." - Doris J. Rapp, M.D., Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call (Get the book.)

"The cleaner the basement membrane becomes, the more sensitive we become to our polluted environment because toxins can move right through our systems. A little mucus in the system, for example, can serve to protect us from being so vulnerable to pollution. If we reach a point of purity that we become too vulnerable, we will not be able to function effectively on the physical plane in serving the Will of God on this planet." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.) "For example, if a drop of water comes through the air as a raindrop and it hits a polluted environment, it will take on the energy of that water pollution, whether it is sulfur dioxide or nitrates. When it hits the rivers, it takes this information into the river and introduces a vibration of pollution. This pattern is one of the ideas of homeopathy: we dynamize it, we dilute it 1:10 or 1:100, and potentize it. We activate the energy by percussing it, which increases the communication of energy." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)

"She reveals how studies by the EPA, the FDA, and countless other agencies demonstrate the impact our polluted environment is having on our food supply and well-being. Lawson shows the numerous pesticides that are missed in testing, along with the different pesticides that are linked to cancer and that are legally allowed on food, and how few food shipments are tested for illegal residues. One can understand why Dr." - KC Craichy, Super Health 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality (Get the book.)

"There is increasing evidence that our more polluted environment in combination with a poorer, nutrient-deficient diet is damaging our immune systems. The end result seems to be that we are becoming more prone to developing problems such as hayfever. The upshot of this is that our immune system is more susceptible and hyperreactive to allergens. Therefore, reducing the overall chemical exposure could not only bring about short-term relief, but longer-term resolution too." - 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.) "Since most of these chemicals were banned decades ago, we get most of these chemicals through our food and via our polluted environment. Alcohol and other industrial solvents (benzene and xylene) found in paint, car exhaust, household cleaning solutions, and perfume can bring about high blood pressure. Other chemicals linked to high blood pressure are chlorine (as in tap water), fluorocarbons, carbon disulfide, asbestos, ozone, and plastics." - 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.)

"Fifty cases of keratitis and rough skin (due to malnutrition, polluted environment, chemical cosmetics, lack of hygiene) in the age group of 30 to 50 years were treated with Ashwagandhaa (3 g twice daily with water) for eight weeks. The result has been found to be quite encouraging. The drug also stopped the falling of hair in females after delivery. Subacute toxicity studies with repeated injections of Withania somnifera extract at a dose of 100 mg/kg body wt for 30 days in Wistar rats of either sex did not result in any mortality or changes in peripheral blood constituents." - C.
