"As I've said, your liver is like a waste treatment facility and you don't want it to become overloaded. If your cells are overworked processing caffeine, alcohol, prescription drugs, or pesticides, then it may not do a very good job when it gets around to your hormones. This explains why women often complain of breast pain if they overuse caffeine, and why there is an increase in breast cancer in women who drink too much alcohol or are exposed to pesticides or other toxins." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "Hormone breakdown, or 29 metabolism, is like a waste treatment facility located primarily in your liver. How well your toxic waste is handled depends on your genetics, diet, and environment. Chinese medicine recognized centuries ago that proper diet and a balanced lifestyle could improve poor ancestral, or inherited, tendencies and alleviate hormonal symptoms. In addition to shedding light on some of the large hormone studies, this chapter will explain hormone metabolism, why hormones should be used, and how they can be used safely." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Billions of molecules jiggle and bang through countless lightning-fast reactions—and somehow an entire walled "city" emerges, with energy plants, waste treatment facilities, manufacturing centers, and rapid communications. The wholeness of the cell is so spectacularly intelligent. How can it possibly result from the random jostlings of mindless, material molecules? It all makes sense if we adjust our eyes to see the underlying pattern rather than the place holders. The swirls and eddies near the edges of a stream can be seen in the motions of leaves floating on the surface." - Hari Sharma, Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals, a Major Cause of Aging and Disease (Get the book.)

"They remain 95 percent unmetabolized by the human body and due to their nature are extremely resistant to transformation during waste treatment processes. Those that do transform tend to become resistant metabolites.41 Because of this they accumulate in greater numbers each year, persisting long-term in ecosystems. The five main contrast agents have routinely been found in municipal waste treatment effluent streams in concentrations ranging from nanograms to micrograms per liter. Their long-term environmental effects are unknown." - Stephen Harrod Buhner, The Lost Language of Plants: The Ecological Importance of Plant Medicines for Life on Earth (Get the book.) "All of these go into the ecosystem, most of them through excretion into waste treatment systems. Waste Treatment The average person produces about 1,300 pounds of excrement (liquid and solid) per year and all of it's got to go somewhere. Until the development of cities, most human waste was routinely deposited willy-nilly in the ecosystem—much the way it is done by all other living beings on Earth—where it was then naturally recycled back into the soil. Rarely, if ever, was it excreted in any quantity into water systems." - Stephen Harrod Buhner, The Lost Language of Plants: The Ecological Importance of Plant Medicines for Life on Earth (Get the book.)

"MUNICIPAL waste treatment PLANTS The EPA found in 1988 that three out of every four municipal waste treatment plants have not kept industrial toxic chemicals from polluting tap water. Between 100,000 and 200,000 industries of varying size pump their wastes directly into sewers, where it mingles with the wastes of millions of households and other nontoxic sources. Municipal sewage treatment plants are geared principally to treat human waste and other organic matter so it can be pumped into waterways with minimal environmental impact." - Linda Mason Hunter, The Healthy Home: An Attic-to-Basement Guide to Toxin-Free Living (Get the book.)

"We must ask why toxic fertilizer is exempted from hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal tracking.137'140'141 The fertilizer industry claims the EPA said this waste does not generally pose a threat to human health or the environment. Does the EPA agree? In relation to our water supply and our health, consider the following:141 The drinking water of 15 to 23 million Americans is contaminated with pesticides according to the EPA.7'20b Extensive herbicide use accounts for much of this pollution." - Doris J.
